Star Wars - Clone Wars: Vol. 1

Pros: great excitement, Jedi action, story development
Cons: unrealistic character designs

Star Wars has made a few attempts at coming up with marketable TV ideas. The Christmas Special, Droids, Ewoks, they didn’t seem to understand that we fans wanted Jedi duels and freakish aliens, not singing and cutesy teddy bears with spears. These ...

Pros: Sets Up Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Entertaining, Lots of Action
Cons: Too Short, Old Fashioned Looking Animation

I'm a big Star Wars fan so I was really happy when I heard this series of animated shorts was being made. Since I don't have TV service I was glad when it finally came out on DVD. I had only seen three episodes on Cartoon Network (the station that aired ...

Pros: Lightsaber battles, new Jedi, new Sith, more story.
Cons: NONE

This award winning cartoon series brought to us by Cartoon Network and the creators of Samurai Jack is an amazing combination of Star Wars and what I like to call American Anime. This fusion of two world long held separate is truly a fans dream come to ...

Pros: Very cool styling, introduction of several new characters to Star Wars' "Expanded Universe"
Cons: 3 minutes may be TOO short for some of the stories...

Back in the 1980's there were two "Star Wars" cartoons, that, even though I thought I was the biggest geek on the planet, I just couldn't get into. One was "Droids," which followed the adventures of C-3PO and R2-D2 in their pre-Luke Skywalker days; the ...

Pros: Bold and inventive, it tells some entertaining tales that enrich the overall saga.
Cons: Samurai Jack art; rather choppy.

Star Wars Clone Wars: Volume One. Directed by Genndy Tartakowsky. Written in part by George Lucas. One of the problems with the Star Wars Saga is that one of the final lines in Attack of the Clones starts the Clone Wars: Obi-Wan ...

Pros: Fantastic, fluid animation; great storytelling pace; absolutely fun
Cons: Could actually have put all three seasons on one DVD

Luke Skywalker: You fought in the Clone Wars? Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes. I was once a Jedi knight, the same as your father. Luke Skywalker: I wish I'd known him. Obi-Wan Kenobi: He was the best star pilot in the galaxy, and a ...

Pros: Fills in blanks between Episodes II & III; we see more Jedi in action
Cons: None worth mentioning

You fought in the Clone Wars? -- Luke Skywalker to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone War has. -- Yoda, Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones ...

Pros: Covers events not in any of the movies.
Cons: Very short. Ended with a cliff hanger.

The story told by the six Star Wars movies spanned many years. There were gaps of several years between some of the movies, so not everything the characters went through was covered. I have wondered about what happened in the years not covered ...

Pros: Great action sequences bridging episode 2 and 3
Cons: Stylized animation / different voices

"You fought in the Clone Wars?" Luke Skywalker - Star Wars - A New Hope. This line became perhaps one of the more exciting ones the classic trilogy when George Lucas first announced that he was going to make the prequels. However, fans maybe a little ...

Pros: some cool action, animation, very entertaining
Cons: story has less focus then a kid with ADD

I got Star Wars Clone wars about a year ago and like a lot of stuff I don’t bother sitting down and reviewing. Now I saw the shorts when they originally aired during Toonami’s action block, but I decided to pick up the DVD. Well how good is Star Wars ...

Pros: Good animation and action sequences, terrific music
Cons: So-so extras, lack of plot coherency

Star Wars: Clone Wars is an animated feature designed to bridge the gap between the films Episode II (Attack of the Clones) and Episode III (Revenge of the Sith). It comes in 2 volumes, this obviously being the first. The first volume was ...

Pros: Fun, Fleshes Out The "Star Wars" Universe"
Cons: Little Character Depth, Somewhat Silly Scale

In the "Star Wars" universe, there is a gap of about two years between the films "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith." In an attempt to fill that gap, the Cartoon Network and Lucasfilm created an animated series called "The Clone Wars" ...

Pros: Some really good Star Warsy Jedi action
Cons: The plot is negligible at best

Back in the eighties, there was a phenomenon known as the compilation tape. Much like a mix tape, where you would take pop hits and compile them thematically onto a cassette, a comp tape was a VHS filled with all kinds of action bits of movies. All those ...
