 Star Wars The Clone Wars Complete Season One July 24, 2010
Barbara E. Zimmerman (Illinois)
I purchased this for my 9 year old grandson, who is one of the biggest Star Wars The Clone Wars fans ever. He probably has ever word and person in this set already memorized:)
Makes me want to be a kid again July 19, 2010

I love it and absolutely recommend this to any Star Wars fan or parent with Padawan-aged children.
My world changed when I experienced Star Wars in 1977 and I would have done almost anything to have seen this series back then...in the dark ages, before computers and the internet!
Today, even with the societal immersion into a digital era of electronic gadgets and inter-connectivity, I still love me some "Old Fashioned" Star Wars.
My son loves watching this with me and letting me know all about the Jedi and who he thinks is the best amongst them. His enthusiasm for this franchise makes me want to be a kid again, back when I had to make a light saber out of a flashlight and construction paper.
Sit back and enjoy a serialized "Good guys vs. Bad guys" marathon with your kids. There isn't any nudity, overt sexuality and no F-bombs. Just good clean fun.
 Fun but disjointed July 18, 2010

The Clone Wars is fun to see but there is not real story to speak of. Sometimes there are three episodes in a row that can be stung together to make an longer plot point, but for the most part it dose not matter the order you view them. The worst is between "The Hidden Enemy" and "Blue Shadow Virus" (between disc 3 and 4). In it Aniken an Obi-one are stuck surrounded by droids then the next think you know they are the only to available Jedi to help on Naboo. (They are surrounded by Jedi).
Coherence to the side this is still a fun adventure for any age.
 A few "hmmm" moments, but mostly very good July 16, 2010
A reviewer in Atlanta
Great addition to the Star Wars legacy. I think animation greatly frees some aspects that were more difficult when you had live action, even with CGI. Yes, some of the dialogue can be lame. I agree with the individual that every writer should be fined, flogged or both every time they write, "I got a bad feeling about this" for ANY character. It's uttered by a different character in almost every episode.
At times you feel the Jedi are really showing their strengths and why they were so powerful. Other times, you kind of go, "huh?" Case in point: in one episode Obi Wan is about to catch the bad guy. He's right there. The bad guy throws some capsules off a three-story high platform (or more) that will be disastrous if they hit the ground. Does Obi Wan use The Force to suspend them in mid-air? Nope. Throws himself off the platform to catch them in his hands while falling to the ground himself. While it certainly adds to the dramatic tension (the bad guy throws or threatens to throw these things repeatedly to thwart capture), it seems you could stay truer to Jedi capabilities and find dramatic tension another way. There are a number of instances like that where they don't do things that would be very simple, while using The Force in very dramatic ways elsewhere.
One other surprise. In one episode, a trooper exclaims, "What the h*ll?!" What the h*ll, indeed. While I could see the inclusion of such an exclamation in a director's cut, that kind of language has no place in the series. Now I'm hesitant about letting my 5 year-old watch the episodes.
Those are my caveats. Other than that, the series is entertaining and forwards the whole storyline from the "missing years" between the live action episodes. It would almost (ALMOST, I say) be a welcome addition to have one or two small interactions inserted into Episodes IV, V & VI where Vader encounters R2D2. He's so close to the droid in this series, you could really put some subtle moments in where one recognized the other and was torn about what to do. But that's what comes from doing the last episodes before the first ones, I suppose. Sure wish Lucas would follow through with the original intent of having Episodes VII, VIII and IX. Love to see the original stars come back as their aged characters bringing along a new generation. I think the reception of the most recent Star Trek movie and others show that there's a big market for building on the nostalgia from 30 years ago.
 Great Animation...Lame Dialogue July 14, 2010

I do love me some Star Wars, well specifically the first trilogy (ep. 4,5,6) and the "Knights of the Old Republic" VG. The second trilogy(ep. 1,2,3) was awful...lots of flash and no substance. I was really hoping this Clone Wars series was going to make up for the turds Lucas put out with those last three movies, but I was sadly mistaken. The show looks great, but the characters are sooooo wooden. Who hires these writers? I understand it's a kids show, but there is no fun or joy to these characters. "Avatar, the last airbender" was a great kids cartoon...the characters in that series were dynamic and fun to watch, you actually care what happens to them.
Also, i personally think every writer on this show should be fined $1000 every time they make one of the characters say "I gotta bad feeling about this!". Bleeech, my womprat could fart out better dialogue than this....and he's been dead for 15 years!
