Season 1 is weak, but overall this show is some of the best Star Wars content period. Each season gets better and better until season 5 which had some incredible stories. Season 6 wasn't as good as 5, but it was still interesting.

I finished watching the awesome Star Wars the clone wars yesterday and I have got to say the force is strong in this show.This show has pretty much every thing what a Star Wars fan would want, fight scenes, likable characters and of course different story arcs to keep you interested my favorite ones are when R2 D2 gets kidnapped by the separatist, the arc where the clones and the Jedi to protect a clone base and the one where Fives discovers his clone trouper chip. What more could you want?And it doesn't stop there the animation is awesome and the voice actors are incredible we even get guest stars like Nolan North, Liam Neeson, Seth Green, Gideon Emery, Simon Pegg and much more.At first, when I saw this back when I was younger I used to find it boring and annoying. But now I don't think that any more I think this an incredible show which needs a season 7.I would recommend this show to new and old generation of Star Wars fans.

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.

Currently finishing season 1. The animation is good (not as amazing as 2003 one though), the plotting is nice, and the pace is good too. But it's really lacking in drama, maybe lacking a bit too much for my taste. The spirit of Star Wars is really in the drama, in the soap behind the action and adventure. The characters in this show however are really lacking the dramatic personalities we see in the movies (which is why some like this show more than the movies, I suppose). The problem with that is that I cannot see at all the main character, Anakin, as someone who could ever possibly be Darth Vader. Now the 2003 2D animated Anakin was the only portrayal of Anakin that I think is the most believable in his potential to be both good and yet be capable of evil. The Clone Wars Anakin is really more like a typical wholesome action-adventure hero, who is super adept, has a sassy disregard for rules he is way too talented to bother with, and has a cool sarcastic relationship with Obi Won and Ahsoka.Padme also, who already unfortunately had very little personality even in the movies, really has no personality here other than as a 'stable, well meaning female senator." There also seems to be no build up for the relationship Anakin and Padme have. Anakin in fact seems way more closer to and understanding of Ahsoka and Obi than he does with Padme.Then, Ahsoka has more of her master's pizazz of being headstrong and wanting to follow the beat to her own drum. How many snappy, unruly and sassy Jedi are there really? Still she's pretty endearing. And really, all the characters in the show are pretty endearing. It really is more cutesy and wholesome offshoot of the prequels. After all, that is to be expected, the show aired on CN.Overall though, it is still an entertaining show with a lot of creativity and is still very much Star Wars -- traveling to strange planets, peace and war with various alien people, and lots of stylish pg-13 battle action.
