Star Wars: Clone Wars

Samurai Jack meets Star Wars. Much more enjoyable than the prequel movies.

Tartakovsky doing what he does best: long, complex, gorgeously-animated fight scenes, with everything conveyed using minimal dialogue. Add to that the fruitful collection of characters and locations from the Star Wars universe, and you've got a pretty good show!

I fondly recall watching these 5 minute shorts once a week. It's well animated and has more style than either of it's live-action counterparts. Gendry Tartakovsky really knows what he is doing.

Tartakovsky destroys all pre-conceived notions of the prequels in his Clone Wars. And thankfully so. All the good story-telling of old Star Wars mixed in with the spectacle of the prequels and the tonal wonder and great animation of classics like Samurai Jack. Easy recommendation, here.

Entertaining little look into the Clone Wars, though not as good as the CGI series. The animation is beautiful and I think it ties Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith as nicely as those films could allow.

Although it was initially meant as a simple promotional teaser for Revenge of the Sith, the 2003 animated series created by Genndy Tartakovsky became something much more: an essential narrative bridge for true Star Wars fans. With its distinctive visual style —rough, schematic, almost minimalist— and a storytelling approach that prioritized pure action and symbolism over dialogue, Tartakovsky pulled off something that seemed impossible: saying more with less. What began as a series of three-minu

The Clone Wars series that isn't canon. It is consistently decent, but doesn't reach the storytelling heights of the canon series, which has some storylines that rival the best of Star Wars. The last decent Star Wars before Disney.

I don't get the hype 🤷

The original Clone Wars; an hour of 3 minute episodes followed by an hour of 10 minute ones that deliver a mixed bag of weird monsters, excessive battle scenes, bad dialogue ("I am Sith") and some pretty iconic moments (Anakin vs Ventress; the outro into Ep. 3). I'm not a great fan of Tartakovsky, but the blend of his style and STAR WARS works for the most part.
