I know the Clone Wars cartoon is considered better than the CGI show, but is it really more enjoyable (I've only seen bits and pieces of the cartoon as well)? With such short episodes, there is hardly room for character development. And I'm not a style of Samurai Jack animation. Furthermore, the plots seem like the ridiculous stuff that sells these days, like the good guy has an overpowering weapon and dominates the battlefield, then the bad guys wait until the right moment when they've lost more men than they should have, but just to make their entrance dramatic, they unleash their even more amazing weapon...I dunno, what I saw was too weird for me. Underwater lightsabers and blasters...just weird stuff. Anyway, it seems that the CGI series has more opportunities going for it.
