Dave is something of an asset his work on Avatar the last airbender was good. Too bad Luca$ won't allow Clone Wars to be as good though there are times when it comes close like the Mortis arc.

There are also ways in which this series outshines Genndy's series as you have more focus on female characters and actually maybe for the first time female writers there were none on the movies unless you count Leigh Brackett and her draft was not used on empire. That or the small incidental snappy lines that Gloria Katz wrote for star wars.

Star Wars in this serial format of short episodes almost comes off like star trek, not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

To me star wars is meant to be huge and epic made for the silver screen.

While the animation and writing is as good or better than say Thundercats remake or Transformers prime it is still primarily a children's cartoon like those shows and obviously marketed to sell toys.
