 This DVD has all the right things going for it, since I'm a Star Wars fan, a Genndy Tartakovsky fan, and already a fan of this show, after watching it all on Cartoon Network (and gushing over the first DVD of this series). Just like before, it was cool to watch all of the episodes back to back with only one set of opening titles and one set of credits at the end, since they really do become a great movie that adds so much to the Star Wars saga! The connections with the Lucas films are pretty amazing - of course, it felt great to see Revenge of the Sith on opening day, knowing why Grievous was coughing while everyone else was wondering. The commentary really stands out, since it shows what sincere Star Wars fans the animators are - they truly revere the Star Wars universe and wanted to create something "worthy", and they definitely succeeded (in spite of incredible deadlines, which they pushed to the limit - Episode 5 was delivered the day before it aired!). The use of CG in the ship models is really well done, and I love how the animators were able to push the Lucas designs with various modifications and paint jobs, such as the totally cool Tiger Shark face on the Arc Trooper transport! They also really scored with the Stormtrooper boarding party that jets between ships in space - these guys are full of fantastic ideas. In my opinion, the Clone Wars series is definitely part of the "blessed" continuum, so if you haven't bought these DVDs, you know what to do. (And yes, I bought and watched this a long time ago - I'm just way behind on reviewing things!)
