This is a cool weekly cartoon series from Lucasfilm Animation that finds a fresh new style for depicting the struggle of the Jedi and their army of genetically engineered clones against the seemingly indomitable droid army of evil Separatists
Although no half-hour TV series is going to capture the visual splendor and sophisticated sound of the big-screen experience, it's surprising how well this series reflects the style, attitude, ideals and spirit of the six STAR WARS films
At least the TV spin-off is decent--definitely more suspenseful and character-centric than the bombastic pilot flick
As I wasn't a huge fan of the animated movie, I was pleasantly surprised that the tv series kind of ties it all together a bit more and helps make a little more sense of the clone wars. I also liked the way it portrayed the clones to have more individuality and maybe even a touch of jango's defiance. Although it is aimed more at the younger generation it wasn't too childish. I am still unsure about anakin having a padawan though..
Ok, if your looking for your Star Wars fix between Episodes II & III, this continues on from the animated film, and for what it is it is good, although geared mainly for the kids, rather than the fan or enthusiast.
With only 4 episodes, around 20 - 25 minutes, i'm glad i rented and did not buy!
With all that in mind, 3 stars.
Formulaic but what you would expect from this going onver the clone wars, maybe better watched on free to air tele on a Saturday morning would make you happier watching. However will keep kids who are star wars fans quiet for a couple of hours

for children and Star Wars geeks only. Animation not as good as it could have been especially when you see some of the animation from Dreamworks,
For someone who loves the star wars films I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy this but really enjoyed it and so did the rest of the family !
