Its only sad if you treat it with any seriousness. I mean if they had released that Droids TV special The Great Heep in theaters as an animated feature-film it would have gotten eviscerated, and deservingly so because its a piece of crap as an animated feature film. But like Droids, as much as I liked that series, Clone Wars really just a footnote in the scheme of things. I think right now LFL has created a sort of media tunnel-vision in the fandom because they have promoted this piece of shit so much. In the end, no one will ever remember it except this little footnote that happened after Lucas stopped making the actual episodes.
