I still find myself having a knee-jerk reaction to Yoda and the whole aesthetic gives me a vaguely queasy flashback sensitivity, but i didn't hate what i saw. if it weren't for Ahsoka being irrepressibly cute now and then and the utter stupidity of the battle droids (which is also acknowledged, bravo), i'd really question the audience for this. speaking of which, for a kids' show it's pretty sophisticated and not very fluffy at all.it's a little thick, even, but this is a kids' show, so it's an important point to make, repeatedly, if necessary. in three episodes i've heard more defense and humanization of the clones than in all of the PT.

could be the darker palette and the fact that we're dealing with more robots and machines that don't look unsettlingly like the Gumby show sans fingerprints.

the animation isn't nearly as bothersome to me as it was in Rebels, but i'm sure they must be similar (if not an exact match).

watched three episodes (at least they're short). Just thought I'd throw these thoughts out there, anyone else agree?Ĭlick to expand.i put it on last night kinda late. Clone Wars has painted that picture much better. I don't really get much of that from the PT alone. Clone Wars Anakin seems more mature and wiser (due to the master/apprentice relationship with Ahsoka).Īlso, having grown up watching the OT, I had the impression that Obi-Wan and Anakin were great friends that went on a lot of adventures, that Anakin was a great pilot. They didn't make Anakin like Hayden they gave him the same character traits and appearance, but made him more likable. With the exception of a few boring episodes, I believe they went to some great effort to undo some of the bad rep from the PT, and it's clearly because the writers/producers had a free reign to make it as cool as possible - they probably had an outline for some episodes from GL, but basically did what the hell they wanted. But even familiars such as Yoda with his backwards way of talking is somewhat comforting and nostalgic. I love characters like Ahsoka and Plo Koon. Obviously you take some of it with a pinch of salt as cartoons generally have some artistic freedom to go a little beyond the realms, but it's addictive.

It has some interesting characters, a touch of humor (yes, it still has the clumsy jar jar and battle droid stuff, but some of it is actually quite hilarious, but mainly I mean the constant banter between Obi-wan and Anakin), and some pretty good action sequences. Even though it's a cartoon, I've actually enjoyed watching Clone Wars as an adult, and actually prefer it to watching the PT.
