I’ve decided to make a list documenting the changes in case anyone is interested in reconstructing the original broadcast versions that were shown on Cartoon Network.

Starting off we have the most obvious change, http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/212270.
The switch from 16:9 to 16:10. The TV version was cropped to fit standard HD TVs, while the Blu Ray showcases it’s full theatrical style aspect ratio.

SEASON 1

The following episodes are riddled with so called “Director’s cuts”

Rising Malevolence

(Known unaltered versions: SD iTunes release, Non anamorphic “Clone Commandos” and “A Galaxy Divided” DVD, and of course the original Broadcast)

SEASON 3

From now until season 6 we will be dealing with censorship.

11:31 to 11:32 was removed for the broadcast on Cartoon Network
