  1. High Quality by LordoftheFrings · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've got to say, since Episode 1 and 2's massive failure in the eyes of many geeks, and most of the press (despite my love of both movies), the press surrounding the Clone Wars and the opinions I've heard have been tremendous, to say the least. IMO, the quality of animation is superb, Samurai Jack style, and it's just real Star Wars fun to watch. Also, one simply MUST love the new dark Jedi in the fight against all those monsters.

  2. Not on Brazil... by BRSloth · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Man, sometimes I *hate* living in Brazil. The original series (first season?) was truly amazing. I thought putting Genndy drawing was a big mistake (his lines didn't fit in the way the movies where made), but, for some very misterious destiny things, his drawings where perfectly on sync with the Star Wars universe. Even better: the stories where so impressive that someone should take that Lucas guy out of the direction of the next movie and put Genndy there! :)

    Admit it. You'll camp out anyway. Just like me, we can't not watch it. Seeing it might make us angry, but not seeing it at midnight of the release is possibly deadly. It's just like any addiction.

  4. No pleasing star wars fans, as usual by gad_zuki! · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Man, what a harsh thread.

    The Clone Wars series has to be one of the more interesting and original TV shows/experiments in TVs short history. They're short, paced perfectly, fun to watch, and just well done overall. I fully believe if this wasn't attached to the Star Wars franchise we would be singing its praises on originality and animation quality alone.

    Cut Tartakovsky some slack here. He inherited a big job and pulled it off almost flawlessly. Kids love it, adults (at least the ones I know) dig it. He managed to work with such a limiting format and deliver the goods.

    Tartakovsky could very well be the next Disney.
