Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003–2005)
6/10
Almost like a video game
29 November 2015
The first to seasons of this show is almost like cut-scenes from a video game. Small "scenes" from the clone wars era in the Star Wars universe. They focus on the epic and heroic, leaving character development and story lines behind. To achieve these epic moments, they often take short cuts. The powers of the jedi seems to vary because of this, and droids often just idle so that action can happen. This breaks with what little realism this show has.

The last 5-episode season changes format, and focuses more on story. While still over the top epic action, it spins a tale a lot longer than the previous two seasons.

The art of this show has both fans and haters, personally I didn't mind it, but it also did not blow me away. The most annoying part of it was how the characters seemed to strike poses all the time.

It's worth checking out if you are into Star Wars. I think it was an interesting project (the first two seasons), but sadly it did not quite work. Perhaps the third season was an attempt to fix it, make it more traditional, but this was still not enough.
