Some just don't get it
This is another stylistic approach to the SW universe and I think it's wonderful. Whoever it is on here that has made the remark about the prequels being superior is obviously wanting someone, like myself, to call him on it. Well, happy to do it. The prequels (so far) have had their moments, but overall, they are not, nor ever will be, superior to the original trilogy. There is no "fun" to the prequels. There's just some great set-ups for ILM to animate, animate, animate. The political rumblings are fine, but jeez, let's get on with it. Why don't we have some history on the Sith? Ep 3 hopefully will have something in this department.
Clone Wars is a depart from the prequels style in that it's, get this, an friggin' cartoon! It's great. The style is great. It's so over-the-top and minimalist. And by "over-the-top" I mean that things happen which you will never see happen in a SW film. It's an take on the universe by a different artist. And by the way, don't think that Lucas just said, "Ok Cartoon Network, do whatever the hell you want with my precious brand." No sir, he's approving all of this.
So finally, Clone Wars is a wonderful ride and Volume 2 is just as great if not better so far. A great connector to Ep 3. I think some people were just expecting this to be either hardcore anime or some Disney looking nonsense. I think they got it just right. It feels like the SW of my youth and not the dull pace and happenings of the first two prequels.
