This is soo awesome, its like watching so many new movies and trust me I know and love all movies in Star Wars franchise very well, (yes first three including) Perhaps this is one of best proves how first three movie prequels which got so much unfair low ratings and attacks on genius as is Lucas himself (specially that awful low IQ song about him GL raped our childhood..)made more than enough sense ! If he made Star Wars (are those fools who attack Him aware He is Creator of Star Wars ??!!) in the first place,of course he would knew very well how to make prequels as well !! SO they are same level loved by me as 4,5,6 episodes are ! And then he made animated CLone Wars (2008),I didn't watch them yet before now cause I didn't expect cartoons to be of any interest for me. But I gave it a try and I am soo impressed, wow what a gem ! There is action filled with emotions, great effects..and awesome stories, so so good ! No doubt about highest rating here for me ! I also watched briefly SW Rebels and they are also awesome but not so much as Clone Wars for me, probably cause CW was directed still by Georce the Boss Lucas and Rebels are not (but still great animation series) So I am changing big time my concepts that animations cannot be entertaining, they can even more than movie if well made !! I hope many more enjoy this as much as I do :-))

This takes place between episode 2 and 3 during the Clone Wars. It follows the adventures of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin is assigned Ahsoka Tano as his Padawan. The Jedi lead the Republican forces against the Separatists led by Count Dooku and General Grievous. Darth Maul is also revealed to be alive despite losing his lower half. There are lots of revealing backstory filling in the rest of the story.I am no fan of the prequels. There are good things about them but those are overwhelmed by the problems. After the disaster of The Clone Wars movie, the franchise was truly in danger. At first, the TV show was only marginally better than the movie. As the series progresses, it is able to fill in the vision of this world. It actually made Anakin a fuller and more human character. This show may have saved the Star Wars universe.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a well made and well directed show that expands upon the classic movies before it, and it mends the wounds The Prequel Trilogy inflicted for many longtime fans of the franchise. The show isn't always smooth-sailing: some of the episodes focusing on too much on politics of 'Trade Negotiations' and 'Separatist *stuff*' can become tedious like these subplots; that were in The Phantom Menace.Despite some of the inherent flaws of The Prequels, The Clone Wars doesn't get weighed down by its unfortunate burden; it makes new stories more relevant to The Original Trilogy than many fans saw coming, like cryptic clues about what's to come in Episode IV: such as the power of the force, the afterlife of Jedis and the impending doom The Dark Side may unleash if The Republic doesn't fight back against The Sith Lords.The Clone Wars can afford to expand upon areas where The Prequel films could not do before: thanks to the flexibility of television serial-storytelling. There's breathing room for the story arcs to come full circle and leave you satisfied with what's to come. We see a lot of classic Star Wars stuff that sometimes teeters between plot-relevance to fan-service, but most of it is all there for a reason and does not go to waste.This show is what Star Wars fans have been wanting since The Prequel Trilogy finished; and even up against the newly released Star Wars Rebels cartoon it still holds up very well.

This show is so really awful and it doesn't even make sense with the movies. In revenge of the sith, general grievous and anakin meet each other for the first time as anakin says "You're shorter than I expected" but this show makes anakin and general grievous fight each other so many times. Also when count dooku battles anakin and obi wan in revenge of the sith, anakin says "My powers have doubled since the last time we met". He is referring to their battle in attack of the clones but this show makes anakin and count dooku battle each other so many times. Also, mandalorians were warriors not peaceful people with a duchess. Barriss offee should never have been made a traitor to the republic and Jedi because she is shown fighting for the Jedi in revenge of the sith which doesn't make sense at all. Bringing Darth Maul back to life was outrageous since no one could have survived that fall. This is why this show is awful and the creators clearly did not watch the prequels.
