Season 1 on DVD....WOW!

I’m just blown away by the Clone Wars animated series!! I started watching at the begining of season 2 and loved it. I got the season 1 box set as a gift and am shocked at how good the quality is. The writing/ voice work is top notch. I often forget that its not live action. Its just so wicked to have new star wars every week that fills the gap between ep 2 and 3.

The only ep that has gotten under my skin was the Jar Jar one. Now I’m not a Jar Jar hater (not a lover either) but his voice sounded soooo off to me. I guess the guy who does Obi’s voice is just sooo good that in comparison it just doesn’t stand up.

Way to go GL and Dave F!!!

welcome to the forum ryan, and i love your handle name.

i also enjoy Star Wars: Clone Wars a lot. I have to admit I fell off the wagon a bit after the writer strike. We used to talk about each episode on the forum every week. But when i watched season 2, i am again amazed by the quality.

i especially love the episode with Rex injured and meeting another clone with a family. I thought about it a lot after wards. and for a show targeted at kids, it’s a great thing.

Welcome aboard, Ryan. I can’t believe that handle was still available!

Welcome to the community, Ryan.

I also find TCW a great series to watch.
Especially because we get to see so more aspects of the GFFA. Dave Filoni really is a Star Wars fan and he should give us much more enjoyment with the rest of the series and maybe even in the Live-action series.
Only wish that each episode would be longer to really get a story developed. Cause the 20 min make it necessary to wrap some things up much too fast.

Maybe we can discuss the next episodes on the forum like hansioux mentioned they did before. But wasn’t the writers strike BEFORE the show premiered?:confused:

Isn’t it awesome?! Also, welcome!

Jar Jar was temporarily (at least, I think it was only temporary) replaced by “B.J. Harrison,” though nobody knows who that is. When the hosts of the Forcecast tried to find out who it was, they hit several dead ends and as far as I know, nobody’s talking about it.

I preferred the Tartakovsky clone wars series myself.
Just a fan of the whole samurai jack style.
Would have liked to see it as the series thats on now, but I respect the cgi Clone Wars and from what Ive seen its pretty good.
My only complaint is bringing Ahsoka into the fold, since we have heard nothing of her till now. And considering Order 66 is only a short time away…bummer for yet another child…

-flashbacks to EP3 Jedi Tower scene-

I actually have a feeling that Asohka is going to go Dark Side not get snuffed out. And i have full confidence in the writers ability to retcon how she is not brought up in the Revenge of the Sith

Asohka on the Dark Side?? Could be pretty cool!!
I agree at first I didn’t like the idea of Asohka being just “thrown” into the story but she’s a kick ass character, I really like what they are doing with her.

Maybe Id have an easier time accepting her if they made a more adult story for her somewhere in the EU. Like as in a book or graphic novel.
Something where she gets traumatized by having to slice and dice thru real living beings or something instead of robits?
I dunno, I might just be nit picking…
