Egan080's Review and Opinion:
Considering how important the Clone Wars are as an event in the history of the Star Wars galaxy, we only got to see how they begin (in Episode II) and how they end (Episode III).
There is a three-year span in between the Battle of Geonosis and the issuing of Order 66 by Darth Sidious that brings the Wars to a ragged and unexpected conclusion, and this gave George Lucas the incentive to not only create the recent theatrical movie Star Wars: The Clone Wars and its related TV series, but a pre-Episode III Cartoon Network micro-series of anime-styled 2-D shorts called Star Wars: Clone Wars.
Originally released over two seasons between 2003 and 2005, Genndy Tartakovsky's take on the war that made Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi famous Jedi and Generals in the Republic's Army consisted first of some 20 three-minute-long mini-episodes set almost right after Attack of the Clones, then with several longer episodes that carry on the story to almost a few minutes before the start of Revenge of the Sith.
The 2005 DVD of Volume One contains all the short episodes in which Obi-Wan and Anakin are still Master and Padawan, with some friction between the two arising because young Skywalker is impetuous and arrogant about his Jedi Skills. Other vignettes show Kit Fisto fighting in underwater battles on Mon Calamari and Mace Windu on the world of Dantooine.
While I'm still not fond of Tartakovsky's animation style - some of which inspired the current CGI version's look - the story is good and not dumbed down for kids. I wish the episodes here had been longer, but on the DVD they at least fit together coherently.

Though I wish the style wasn't so exaggerated, the story "drew" me in and I liked it. |
