If Skyjedi can acknowledge its good points then it's gotta be at least decent. That's so out of character for him but I've seen him do it.

It's okay I guess.

I recorded the first two seasons but I don't think I will ever watch them again... so I stopped when the 3rd started. I still watch it since there isn't much on TV anyways, it's a good time killer.

Having said that, I don't like it that much. There has been a few interesting scenes like Coruscant underworld but usually it gets spoiled by some stupid plot twist and every ending needs to have a lesson learned, sigh. I almost barfed on the third season when that old clone died in slow-mo. Also it revolves too much among the, well, clones. I mean, who cares about them?? And way too many episodes revolve around politics, the kids must like that so much. Then there has to be some kind of reference to the OT all the time, like the first season was pretty much based on already used lines, luckily they toned that down. And of course, when you start thinking... they want everyone to join the Republic and you think hmm, those kids are going to be slaves for the Empire, how nice...

I like it, and watch it regularly. It's good, despite some flaws here and there. And the animation has been greatly improved.

This.

I enjoy it for the animation but the stories could and should be better. they need to drop the 3 episode story arcs because  often the episodes don't feel like they've been worth watching on their own. you're watching 30 minutes [or 22 minutes] of a longer story.

I usually watch it of a saturday mid morning along with some sitcoms and what not so It's a bit of fun but not much more.

I feel like they are starting to realise what they have at their disposal and once all the bad ideas are exhausted they'll start being more creative - as they have been in the past [in small doses]

I feel like they should have cast Matt Lanter in the PT as Anakin as he plays the character much more convincingly - and even looks the part.

It does say "Clone" in the title though! ;)

The episode with the rookies fighting off the more deadly and scary battle droids at a lonely outpost was one of the best clone specific stories. I find the "everyman" without supernatural abilities in the SW universe more interesting at times.

 

I know, that's why the little pause. ;) And I agree, I, too, like more about the "everymen" but clones aren't those. If it would be about real people as stormtroopers, it would be much interesting. But seeing men who have been made from test tubes and theres thousands of them... They're just manufactored soldiers, almost like droids. So droids fighting clones, it just gets boring. If someone gets detroyed, lets make more. I couldn't care less if they all died. So to me, it doesn't work emotionally, no matter how hard they try.

I find it much more Star Wars-ish than the PT films even the sillier episodes are less annoying than some of the nonsense in there.

They remind me of reading the Marvel comics between the first two films.

I've been a regular watcher from the beginning. Overall, it's pretty good. Occasionally there's a stupid episode, but I think the good outweighs the bad.

I think they have a better take on Anakin than the prequels. And they have the right instincts when it comes to referring to the OT (Y-Wings, Tarkin, etc).

It doesn't really compare to the original Clone Wars mini-cartoons though. Those were just pure action and character - like Samurai Jack in the Star Wars universe. And I mean that in a good way.

For a Star Wars show, the Clone Wars series is pretty satisfying. I'm not really looking forward to the long-rumored live-action series. If it follows the current prequel trend, it can only be bad.

Put me in the "its fun to watch, and overall good, better than the prequels" side.

I like it, its kind of like a modern version of marvel star wars, takes Continuity with a grain of salt,  Which is fun.  I just dislike the obvious modern Lucas touches.

I also dislike that it is not EU and is Canon with the films, but hey whatever George knows best,lol.

Erik i think the live action could be good in certain circumstances.  Like Lucas does not direct, and someone else writes the episodes.  Guest writers and guest Directors like Young Indy, and up and comers in the industry as well as industry veterans.

As for Clone Wars i think it is really cool Walter Murch is directing an episode for season 4.

I think Return to Oz is unfairly maligned by Critics.

Still he is an incomparable editor, and sound guy.

Episodes I avoid at all costs:

The Movie, Bombad Jedi, Gungan General, Supply Lines, Corruption, The Academy

I think the movie is somewhat necessary to watch the series. While I agree with most of your avoidable episodes, I found Bombad Jedi an okay episode, specially how they mixed Jar Jar with C-3PO. And Supply Lines is a favourite of mine. It's a solid episode.

I would also add Blue Shadow Virus to the avoidable episodes.

I too found that episode so OTT (but self contained) that it became enjoyable.

If you stuck those ideas into an official PT film they would be up there with Threepio's head swap in AOTC but on their own it actually worked as a parody of ESB.

The film itself (while having some toe curling moments) was not as offensive as any of the PT films and much more watchable than either of the Endor films.

Put it this way some of the episodes of the series are stronger than others but none of them were so bad I wished I hadn't seen them (though I've only seen the first two series and the film).

If there is a weak episode I know that there are going to be a lot more on the way so I cut the weaker episodes some slack.

The PT is something I waited from 1983 to 1999 for, there was only every going to be one shot at them and only three episodes, with all that time, effort and energy the awfulness of them can not be forgiven.

I've only watched the first several episodes of the first season...so...someone please tell me this is not true.  I have no interest in seeing the movie.

I think I can live without that knowledge, as I figured.
