... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreDon't judge the show off of the 4 prequels. It has engaging stories and characters who you can get emotionally invested in. It redeems the prequels. Any Star Wars fan would enjoy it. The show's themes and tendency to go to dark places really help it.
... View MoreThis show is amazing I mean how could you not like it apart from some animation that felt a little weird at times and the episodes with ....... uh Jar Jar. This show is amazing at expanding the star wars universe. It gives character development to anakin and gave some characters passed over in the movies some time to shine including a couple fan favorites. Most episodes are apart of a 2-5 episode arc which are like mini movies. The entire series is on Netflix including the lost episodes of season 6 I would recommend watching the episode i n chronological order (The episode were released out of order) You can find the right order on starwars.com
... View MoreCurrently 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.
... View MoreThis show is so really awful and it doesn't even make sense with the movies. In revenge of the sith, general grievous and anakin meet each other for the first time as anakin says "You're shorter than I expected" but this show makes anakin and general grievous fight each other so many times. Also when count dooku battles anakin and obi wan in revenge of the sith, anakin says "My powers have doubled since the last time we met". He is referring to their battle in attack of the clones but this show makes anakin and count dooku battle each other so many times. Also, mandalorians were warriors not peaceful people with a duchess. Barriss offee should never have been made a traitor to the republic and Jedi because she is shown fighting for the Jedi in revenge of the sith which doesn't make sense at all. Bringing Darth Maul back to life was outrageous since no one could have survived that fall. This is why this show is awful and the creators clearly did not watch the prequels.
