Hey,

I noticed that one can watch the chapters/episodes online here:

http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/clonewars/index.html

So, well, check them out, lemme know what you think. I want Anakin's Jedi Starfighter, and those clone starfighters (V-19s?) are pretty sweet too.

So, well, check it out.

So...what do you think of them, now that there is at least 3 chapters? Scale of 1 to 4, 4 being highest, and the random one.

And I can't believe there are actually 4 people that would prefer disembowelment. I'll have to find them, as I need the sword practice. But whatever.

Hmmm....Chapter 8....

Obi-Wan vs. Durge, the bounty hunter. Very nice, even for a 4 min short. I also like Kenobi in his armor that he has for this one. Well worth the viewing. Actually, most all of them are worth seeing, but if I must point to only a couple, I would say Chapters 3 and 8.

Yeah. The 3-5 min shorts.

But think of it, if it were actually a half-hour each, where would they go? I mean, there would be too much to cover, and it would risk undoing a lot of the storyline. Plus, in the course of 20 30-minute episodes, they would possibly cover a lot of the war. You really can't drag something out like this for, er, 10 hours. You can't do 10 hours of some clone war, it would get real dull, real quick. So overall, the whole thing will add up to about 1 hour total, maybe 1.5. I think that is a good thing, it will all come out like another movie or so.

But I agree. They could have done CG or something, but they really needed to go animated to try and portray the bare essence of the characters, in order to fit with the short time of the clips. But that's just me.

I have to see what happens after CHAPTER (not episode) 4, with Durge and te IG droids. Yes. IG droids. As in IG-88. Kinda something you want to hang your head at, but let's see where this goes.

They have a great idea, lots of action, and cool stunts. But, the one (and almost most important) thing that I didn't like about it, was the animation. It, to me, looks like a 5min. flash video you'll see on the internet anywere; lots of just colored in cartoony shapes that were a little choppy in sync (not the band damnit!). But, besides that, it kept me interested(as far as the story and action).

I doubt they will come out on DVD by Christmas, the second half of the mini-series comes out after Christmas, so maybe some time in the summer. Or they might even be mean and wait to sell it with the Box Set of all movies.

Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace, These are not polite suggestions, these are cores of behavior, And those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.
There are varying degrees of evil, I am a due lesser form of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain, For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see me, And on that day, you will reap it, And I will send you to whatever god you wish.

Well, not to endorse anything, but you can figure out what I am saying. There are certain programs that will allow you to get the .mov versions of the cartoons from other people. But, I'm not advertising or supporting it. You guys are smart, you'll find them some way or another.

Plus, I guess they will be on DVD sometime, maybe by Christmas.

OK. Now watch the 3rd episode (now out) and TELL me the ARC Troopers do not simply rock. Those hand signals, planning, and execution are sweet.

I'm gonna find an ARC trooper skin for CTF. It'll be good stuff.

Poll added. I'd vote for the last option, but I still think these are almost better than some of the movies. C'mon...this can't be worse than Jar-Jar and Midi-Chlorians. Oh, and no Jar-Jar in any of these. I don't think he even WILL be there.

Yeah. I guess there is discussion in another thread (General Disc. thread), so...I was the first to post this under STAR WARS thread. Gah, Silly kids. Can't post stuff under the right threads.

But anyways, I'll watch the 3rd Chapter (they are chapters, not "Episodes". Episodes means something different in Star Wars.

I really don't think it is all that cheezy. They convey a lot withing one little short film, AND, you can watch them with director commentary, to understand them a bit better. I think it is just pure adrenaline and action, which I like. They do a good job putting the WAR back in Star Wars.

Ok, seriously....
Now that the second chapter is online, it just seems like one high-concentrated adrenaline rush. The action does not pause for very long.

I know the chapters are only a few minutes long each, but I find that they're like crack.

So go get yourself addicted.
