This is not the Republic propoganda you are looking for.
While, this series is no longer considered canon, I believe that it fits better with respect to continuity than the 2008 CGI animated series.
Additionally, as is always the case, Genndy Tartakovsky's unique ar tstyle and animation is gorgeous.
Loved it. All of the characters are 100 times more badass. Even the clones have achieved maximum asskickery.
A little (way) over the top, and I'm not sure if it is canon anymore (or if it ever was) now with the introduction of the Clone Wars animated series (that I haven't seen at this point).
It's quite good however - from an animation and cinematography point of view. Much more interesting and enjoyable than the clusterfuck prequel movies themselves and quite possibly my favorite piece of Star Wars fiction so far.
Well, this was quite an interesting experience. Especially when you’re used to the other Clone Wars series.
Animation-wise this one is very unique. Done by Genndy Tartakovsky (of Hotel Transylvania fame) the character design is unusual (I enjoy it all, but Padmé), movements are very over-the-top and backgrounds deliver a certain atmosphere. I really took it in easier than the 3D animation delivered in Clone Wars (2008) and Rebels.
Some voice actors would later return for the other Clone Wars series, other were new to me. Especially Mat Lucas as Anakin took time to get used to if Matt Lanter is stuck in your mind. I think he did a solid job with hot-headed teen Anakin, but I‘m still glad Lanter replaced him later on.
Since this is made of short web episodes (ranging from 3 to 12 minutes) it doesn’t develop characters or stories the same way other shows do, but it does offer interesting snippets into the Clone Wars itself (I especially enjoyed the piece about Anakin becoming a fully fledged Jedi Knight).
Another great addition, a truly villainous General Grievous. The first version of the character to take serious.
In conclusion, while 2008‘s Clone Wars focuses on the "Clones," individualizing them and developing other characters and relationships, this version focuses more on the "War" aspect. It delivers great battles and a surprising a lot of silence to just take everything.
I really enjoyed this Clone Wars as well as the other one.
So happy to see this on Disney+ now. I used to watch this thing a thousand times when i got it on DVD. I remember always showing i to my friends and have them be blown away. especially that Mace Windu scene.
Not a fan of this. Love what Gendy does with the scale of the action as well as how well the sound design is here, but the overall product stays limited in its format: being a bridge for Episode III. Not so much character progression, not much story in general. Also, kind of goes against the overall point of the prequels. While they showed the jedis in action, George Lucas was constantly critical of its methods, being the reason why Anakin even considers the dark side in the first place. But Gendy has fun, considers them honorable and by the end neither makes a base or continues any of the ideas explore by Lucas in his films.
There’s only one point regarding Anakin becoming a white savior that makes some good irony of what he will become, the literal oppressor of this kind of alien creatures. Really wished that the show followed more that route.
Anyway, Mace Windu destroys an army of droids alone in one of the most over the top and satisfactory sequences ever animated, so what do I know?
