ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Johnny H. Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a well made and well directed show that expands upon the classic movies before it, and it mends the wounds The Prequel Trilogy inflicted for many longtime fans of the franchise. The show isn't always smooth-sailing: some of the episodes focusing on too much on politics of 'Trade Negotiations' and 'Separatist *stuff*' can become tedious like these subplots; that were in The Phantom Menace.Despite some of the inherent flaws of The Prequels, The Clone Wars doesn't get weighed down by its unfortunate burden; it makes new stories more relevant to The Original Trilogy than many fans saw coming, like cryptic clues about what's to come in Episode IV: such as the power of the force, the afterlife of Jedis and the impending doom The Dark Side may unleash if The Republic doesn't fight back against The Sith Lords.The Clone Wars can afford to expand upon areas where The Prequel films could not do before: thanks to the flexibility of television serial-storytelling. There's breathing room for the story arcs to come full circle and leave you satisfied with what's to come. We see a lot of classic Star Wars stuff that sometimes teeters between plot-relevance to fan-service, but most of it is all there for a reason and does not go to waste.This show is what Star Wars fans have been wanting since The Prequel Trilogy finished; and even up against the newly released Star Wars Rebels cartoon it still holds up very well.

DeepFriedWaterMelon when I think of Star Wars, I don't think of the original trilogy, I don't think of the prequel movies, I don't even think of episode 7 or rogue one, no, I think of The clone wars TV series and Battlefront 2. As a child I loved the clone wars TV series, I have so many great memories of watching season 1 and 2 when I was 9 years old and then playing the Lego game with my friends, so many fun times, and as I look back on the show, I realize it's even better to me now than it was before. The stories are very compelling and the action is kind of intense for a kids show but that I love. When I thought the show couldn't get better they introduced Pre Viszla and the remnants of Death watch. that's another big plus, the characters are amazing! The Pre Viszla and Darth Maul episodes were awesome, watching them duel to the death was really fun to watch, and by the way this show looks amazing. But my favorite episodes are definitely the Umbara battle episodes with the 501st. they completely humanized the clones and made you feel for every single soldier on the battlefield. I even went as far to try and recreate it on my Star Wars battlefront 2 game I was so in love with those episodes. But just because those episodes were amazing doesn't mean the rest weren't amazing, because they were. Pretty much all of the episodes are a 10/10 in my opinion and the looks, the acting, the story, the characters, all brilliant. If you want to get a taste of it, then don't watch the clone wars movie, behind he scenes stuff turned that movie into a mess, watch the Umbara episodes instead, and by the way there are a ton of different clones with tons of cool designs so for those of you wondering, it focuses a lot on the clones themselves. All in all I have so many good memories from this show and I'm hoping Rebels is going to be just as good. 10/10 all the way.

charsobees Currently finishing season 1. The animation is good (not as amazing as 2003 one though), the plotting is nice, and the pace is good too. But it's really lacking in drama, maybe lacking a bit too much for my taste. The spirit of Star Wars is really in the drama, in the soap behind the action and adventure. The characters in this show however are really lacking the dramatic personalities we see in the movies (which is why some like this show more than the movies, I suppose). The problem with that is that I cannot see at all the main character, Anakin, as someone who could ever possibly be Darth Vader. Now the 2003 2D animated Anakin was the only portrayal of Anakin that I think is the most believable in his potential to be both good and yet be capable of evil. The Clone Wars Anakin is really more like a typical wholesome action-adventure hero, who is super adept, has a sassy disregard for rules he is way too talented to bother with, and has a cool sarcastic relationship with Obi Won and Ahsoka.Padme also, who already unfortunately had very little personality even in the movies, really has no personality here other than as a 'stable, well meaning female senator." There also seems to be no build up for the relationship Anakin and Padme have. Anakin in fact seems way more closer to and understanding of Ahsoka and Obi than he does with Padme.Then, Ahsoka has more of her master's pizazz of being headstrong and wanting to follow the beat to her own drum. How many snappy, unruly and sassy Jedi are there really? Still she's pretty endearing. And really, all the characters in the show are pretty endearing. It really is more cutesy and wholesome offshoot of the prequels. After all, that is to be expected, the show aired on CN.Overall though, it is still an entertaining show with a lot of creativity and is still very much Star Wars -- traveling to strange planets, peace and war with various alien people, and lots of stylish pg-13 battle action.

phi0027 This is a great T.V show and will bring many hours of enjoyment to people who are Star Wars fans and ones that are not.People under appreciate this great series of stories! First of all, character development is fantastic and after a few episodes you will be hooked! There are a few boring episodes but the ratio of good episodes to bad, have the good outweighing the bad 5:1. The voice acting on this show is great and the ties it makes with the Star Wars universe is a nice nod to Star Wars fans. The last season they made was the best of all and with the addition of old and new characters I strongly advise watching this T.V series.
