I think it's a bit of a rip off tbh. €20 for 60ish minutes and a couple of comm's.

Worst part is I don't find there is much repeat-watch value in Clone Wars either imho

It'd have been a much more attractive purchase if they had waited and released ep1-25 all together. At least then you'd have got a feature length DVD and a story that was 'complete' (more or less).

Yep, just got it and while its great stuff, Im very disappointed that they have decided to leave four measley chapters out. Now I have to shell out more? :rolleyes:
Does anyone know when Volume two is to be released?
Cheers.

I thought the Clone Wars was ok. But I would really love to have seen a "Clone Wars" series that was more conventional. I know the artwork is quirky and interesting and "artsy", and the way each episode is 5mins long is a "bold" and "visionary" way to express the "inherent confusion and chaos of war and the neo impressionisitc, post modern blah blah blah insert cliché here........" but quite frankly, I sometimes thought it was a cop out.

Honestly, who here would not have preferred a series where each episode was 30 minutes long, and told a whole story. And who wouldn't have preferred better (by which I mean, more detailed and more realistic) artwork, not just the over simplified line drawings we saw.

Don't get me wrong, the darkness of the series was enjoyable, actually seeing people getting killed was good, and I found the episode where they introduced General Grievous brilliant, I really was sitting on the edge of my seat. But I just wasn't blown away by the childrens artwork or the short length.

it had a miniscule budget

According to Lucas you may get exactly what you wished for... BBC Story

Unless I was dreaming, I remember seeing Lucas being interviewed on the ROTS junket tour about what was coming up next; and along with the live action TV series he mentioned a 3D animated series remake of The Clone Wars.

the cartoon wont be a remake of clonewars but a seperate tale set around the same time. hopefully on the padawan storyline. recent graphic novels very very good quality.

I can watch the Clone Wars again and again. I prefer it to the films tbh. The writing and directing are both far superior, and there's some good plot lines, especially in the second 'series' of five where they had more time to work with.

Also, General Grievous is far cooler in the cartoons than in Revenge of the Sith. In the films, he's a consumptive old wreck, but in Clone Wars, he's an unbeatable monster with a vaguely camp edge.
