He pretty much did the same thing in ESB, cliffhangers are to be expected in a serial context.

He should have spent more on the animation. I hadn't seen the previews, so I went in expecting Cowboy Bebop and came out with...Superfriends...

No clue. It didn't make sense to me, either.

Maybe it's just that it was a cartoon, but I don't think this story line could have been a movie. There were all kinds of characters that weren't developed at all. There was too much battle, and no ending to at all it seems.

The Calamari were introduced in either ESB or RotJ; the Rebel Grand Admiral is a Calamari.

From the roleplaying game source books, I was always under the impression that the Calamari were pacifists until the Empire came to power. Yet it looks like they participated in the battle against the Quarren.

Sounds like some reviews of Attack of the Clones I read.

Seriously, I belive it had about the same amount of development, and maybe even a little more.

The cartoon love scenes between Padme and Anakin were much better than in AOTC.

Put an end to popups!

That wasn't hard.

Personally, I liked the animaton, but I've always been a fan of Tartankovsky. Dexter's Lab and Samuri Jack are great.

I guess it's not called a "micro" series for nothing. The first half originally aired as twenty 3-4 minute episodes. Can't do a whole lot of character development in that time. The second half aired as only 5 episodes. I would have to say the quality improved with part 2.

A girl here spent 48 days waiting in line for tickets to the premiere of the latest film, only to find out a couple of days ago that her friends in the Star Wars Fan Club Denmark had gotten free passes to the sneak preview, for helping arrange a pre-premiere event in the Tivoli.

Well, The Sith are as powerful, forcewise. The scale of the cartoon is much greater than in the movies (being free of budgetary concerns), its OK to show a single Jedi beating huge forces- just look at the scene were Windoo (or whatever, the black guy) destroys that giant crushing floating thing...

I like Tartankovsky's shows, but the animation has always seemed somewhat amateurish...

I like the "Clone Wars" Saga.

And I'm really thinking that Hayden (despite what ppl in OUR generation might be saying about him) he's going to be the next generations best "evil" actor.

and anyone who play Darth Vader deserves our props...no matter what genre.

(Yeah, I'm supporting him in Revenge of the Sith...just because he was selected as Anakin. And he HAS grown as an actor.)






(I hate Jedi )

And...ah...General Grievous' fight against those Jedi kick ass.

2 Masters, 3 Knights. Oh, and he stomps the sh!t out of a Padawan before the "main fight" begins.

Once he started that "buzzsaw" sh!t...I was hooked.
