The Miracle Maker did pull it off quite well, didn't it? I really like that film. :)
Yeah, it certainly would be "artsy," as you say, and take a willingness to jump in styles. However, I only think the jump would need to be in Episode II. Episode I would be focused on finding Anakin, fighting Maul and defeating him, then Anakin growing up and finding interest in Padme, while we find that Dooku is on the scene and starting the Clone Wars. Episode II would be about Maul's return and second defeat, develop Dooku's rogue side, the ongoing Clone Wars, and the intro to Grievous. Episode III would be about Dooku's defeat, the end of the Clone Wars, Anakin's fall, and the realization that Palpatine was the puppeteer the whole time. So the only jump would be between episodes, not within. But still, like you said, it would take a willingness to jump. Perhaps the cartoon could be used like you said.
But as I said before, I haven't watched much of the show, so really I'm just speculating, and even those who have haven't seen the end of it. I'm just thinking of an alternate way to tell the story. And yes, MrInsaneA, I have wondered about how difficult it would be to decide what stories to tell in a film that's no longer than 150 minutes.
Which is why I think it would be prudent to do an edit of the show AS IF YOU WERE FAN EDITING A WHOLE TV SEASON instead of a movie
