Star Wars: Clone Wars - Volume Two [DVD]

like this more than the new version, with all its suped up graphics and money spent on it. Bit like the new three star wars films what he gained in effects he lost in story telling and good stylised imagery. I also liked the graphic novels of the old republic because of this, the days of Ulic and Exar, the likes of Thon getting it on.... the fight between Anakin and Asajj on Yavin has to be one of the best ever, there are a couple of episodes that aren't as good but not that many, I also like Obi wan Vs Durge with lances, the first known arrival of the leader of the droids who is hunting Jedi in the downed space ship, what was his name again....? Anyway he's far less a coward here than he is later on, which I liked.

This bridges the gap nicely between Part 1 of the Clone Wars and Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The episodes are six minutes and therefore they are able to explore in much more detail the darker side of Anakin and his love-hate relationship with Obi-Wan. The focus is on their adventures in the Outer-Rim Territories as mentioned in Star Wars Ep III. Anakin becomes a Jedi Knight, and Coruscant is attacked by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During this diversion, General Grevious steals in and captures Chancellor Palpatine. Therefore it dove-tails right into Ep III.Perhaps the most talked about part of this release is the foreshadowing of how Anakin will be tempted to evil, as symbolised by his robotic hand growing larger than larger in a psychadelic dream sequence, as part of his personal test and trial. This mirrors the part in Ep VI where Luke Skywalker examines his own hand, and realises that he could become his father's replacement, a new tool for the Emperor.

Grandsons love these. They are Star Wars mad and any excuse too see light-sabres in action goes down well with them. I have yet to see them.... but they are REALLY thrilled.

Awesome Star Wars cartoon series, its short but fun and feels a bit like the samurai jack series :DBut the resolution only looks around 720p.

Bought for my nephews 7th birthday present to add to his starwars collection

Bought because I hadn't seen them on TV. Interesting enough. Not essential viewing unless you are a Star Wars geek, in which case you already have it.

A very average cartoon. At least it is better than the animated one which came in 2008. That was even worse.

This animated 'series' achieves what the whole Star Wars prequel disaster missed by miles; it captures the spirit and fun of the original films and, despite being 2D, it has more depth than Hayden Christiansen can ever dream of.
