I have managed to catch the last two episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network this past week. I am 3 episodes late into the series but I must say I am already hooked. For those who haven’t seen the commercials or advertisements. The Clone Wars is a series that is set between Movie Episodes II and Episodes III.
The TV Series follows right after the recent “Clone Wars” move which I hadn’t had the chance of seeing yet, but I have read reviews on it. Now lets get to describing what I like about the show.
First the animation is very good, particularly the space battles are top notch and very enjoyable. I was always a fan of the LucasArts Games for the PC, X-Wing, Tie Fighter…etc and watching the show brought fond memories of this game to mind. Particularly in the most recent episode Shadow of Malevolence where a small strike force of Y-Wing fighters were dispatched to bomb the Malevolence a massive star cruiser captained by General Grievous.
The story is very sound and is as good as the audio books that I frequently listen to set in the Star Wars Universe. The voice work is a little flat, but not overly so. Particularly I think that Grievous and Ahsoka voice work is good. For those who don’t know Ahsoka is Anakin’s padawan apprentice and she is spunky, head strong, mouthy and is ironically the same personality type that Anakin was in the Episode II, whereas Anakin seems to be more stable and focused (like Obi-Wan) in the Clone Wars series. Ironically so far in the series we don’t really see any traces yet of Anakins emotional unbalance and hot hotheadedness, which leads us to believe maybe some events occur in the near future which start to cause his mental breakdown.
Either way the show is very enjoyable, and my 5 year old son and I watch it now as a regular Friday night routine.
