STAR WARS CLONE WARS 2003 VOLUME 1 SERIES

He devotes all two and a half hours of the series to showing the horrors of war. But thatвЂ™s kind of why Tartokovsky packs such a punch here. Again, itвЂ™s not a wordy scene, like the many conversational lightsaber duels that happen in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Anakin, in a long, torturous, sequence that shows him tracking down Asajj Ventress, comes face to face with his future, as he rains blows down upon the Sith assassin, his clothes torn, red sun rising behind him. In fact, much of the series is pretty muted and subdued, especially compared to the oddly talkative Lucas prequels. HeвЂ™s a teenager here, and the shadow of Vader is closing in on him fast. Finally!ДЄnakin Skywalker, as expected, is at the heart of the series. Which, by the way, explains why heвЂ™s always coughing. And you believe it, tooвЂ“until Mace Windu crushes the guyвЂ™s chest. Whereas in Revenge of the Sith he comes off as an inexplicably wheezing sideshow, Tartakovsky imagines him as a JediвЂ™s worst nightmare. The four-armed boogie man crawls up walls and cuts through Jedi like the Xenomorph from Alien. General Grievous, for example, is a fearsome warlord in Clone Wars. In fact, the villains are so fully-realized (and scary) here that you almost wish you hadnвЂ™t ever seen them in LucasвЂ™s films.

The villains, too, are on full display in TartakovskyвЂ™s series.

Yoda, Mace Windu, Obi-WanвЂ“they all get their superhero moments here, as characters like Ki-Adi-Mundi finally become more than just weird coneheads propped in the corner of the screen. Heroes like Kit Fisto, the smiling green alien with dreadlocks who is slaughtered so quickly in Episode III, is actually shown in all his glory in a memorable underwater smackdown in Clone Wars. But the animated series actually provides the setup for a lot of the character moments we see Lucas cashing in on in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Well, maybe second, since it comes next in the timeline after The Phantom Menace. So, kind of what Lucas promised us with his prequel trilogy.ДЄlthough Disney has no longer deemed the Emmy-award-winning series canon, Clone Wars should actually come first in your watch-through of the saga. What you will see is artfully choreographed fifteen-minute action sequences, depictions of enormously powerful beings tearing through battle droids alongside the Republic army, with entire worlds on the brink of totalitarian domination. You wonвЂ™t see any gushy monologues about sand here. Gone is the cringey (and borderline racist) slapstick from characters like Jar Jar Binks and Watto. Gone are the long-winded discussions about trade negotiations and symbiotic microorganisms capable of producing Force powers. The Japanese-animation inspired show that aired on Cartoon Network back in 2003 feels a bit like your memory of the prequel films, if you havenвЂ™t watched them since those summers in grade school. Each vignette focuses on a different faction or leader of the Clone Wars, which means, those boring fuzzy puppets we see sitting around the Jedi Council in the Phantom Menace with their arms crossed? In Clone Wars, theyвЂ™re action heroes! As they should be. The 25-chapter saga, which is presented in two hour-long вЂњvolumes,вЂќ distills all the self indulgent world-building that people have come to hate (and love) about LucasвЂ™s movies into a very simple setup: the galaxy is at war, and the Jedi are superhero protectors sworn to save the Republic.
