Star Wars: A Guerra dos Clones

I was apprehensive about seeing the Clone Wars movie, but after it pleasantly surprised me, I was definitely looking forward to this TV show. After watching the first two episodes aired tonight on Cartoon Network, I can safely say my anticipation was rewarded.

Judging by these two episodes, I can see that a lot of work has been put into this series, and it's not just something for the kiddies to watch. It was watching a mix of the humanity of original trilogy with the action of the new trilogy. It's a great show, and definitely worth a watch for Star Wars fans of all ages. Just give it a try, you're bound to love it.

I actually stumbled on this series by accident - and what a nice surprise! While I did not see the associated animated film (because of the very bad reviews), this show seems to have some very good things going for it.

For a TV series, the visuals and sounds are really great. The colors, scenery and style of "3D" animation are really appealing. And the sounds (including character voices) are pretty well done too.

Characters: It took me three episodes to get comfortable with the new look of the main characters. It was a bit awkward watching them at first, but now it's OK. One slight issue I still have is that they sometimes remind me of characters from a kid's show than a general audience show.

But that's OK - it's really great to have 30 minutes of good quality Star Wars story-telling each week. The force is with this show!

The first two seasons of The Clone Wars are rather decent, but all of your interest will be completely captured once you begin S3 and onwards. The action is spectacular, the animation gets much better, the characters develop extremely well, and the story itself fits perfectly into the Star Wars story as a whole.

Truly a fantastic series which will flesh out the prequel era immensely

Clone Wars starts out as seeming like a mostly pretty lightweight bit of family entertainment with touches of the more exciting and more serious aspects of Star Wars. However, it develops to be a hugely powerful and astoundingly high quality addition to the overall story.

The animation gets better and better as it goes along and is absolutely stunning in later seasons.

The storytelling manages to totally transcend an animated 'kids show'. It becomes WAY more than that. There are heart poundingly exciting episodes and heartbreakingly moving stories as well as deepening and strengthening of the whole saga by the clever and wonderful storytelling of this show.

Yes there are quite a few fillers along the way which are chucked in as light relief but the serious and dark stories that grow throughout the 7 seasons are phenomenally strong and superb quality.

This stands easily alongside the best movies as great Star Wars. The writing and voice acting are terrific while the action and animation is amazing.
