Er...is there ONE damn DVD I can buy with the entire season?!? There are two seperate ones for sale but I dont think they even cover the whole season- each DVD seems to have four episodes each....and that's it.

I hate it when stuff gets released on DVD a volume at a time. >_<
When I saw the movie, I initially wasn't impressed. Like an earlier poster says, its pretty Gerry Anderson, and I just thought the story was lacking. It works really well in the short installments though; and you get past the initial discomfort with the animation style pretty quick.
I love how they recast Jar Jar Binks' voice half way through as well, and he was *still* annoying beyond belief. I kinda like the dumbass droids, though, and pre-emo Anakin; I like all the variation in the clones as well. You never got to see that in the live action stuff.
And yeah; I'm tripping out on the tech junkie front as well. The Y-Wings are awesome; I love that dome gun turret they have in this configuration. Conjures up illusions of WW2 Bombers, which to me fits perfectly with their role across the EU.

I hear ya on the tech stuff- as a modeler, it's been a race among my peers to master kits for all the new designs- that proto-Y-Wing in particular.
A question- the new DVD release (the second so far) deals with a rescue from a super-battleship called the Malevelence.
Is that it? I mean, if I buy that will I have everything or is there more to come? As I dont watch TV, I miss this sort od stuff when it airs and eventually just watch DVD sets- in this case I have no idea if the series is ongoing or what.
I gotta say, with the possible gripe about the jerkiness of the lightsaber action, I LOVE this series' look- sooooo much better than the old Clone Wars cartoons. Hell, It'd be great to see some capital ships pound on each other in an epic space battle- the one place a Jedi is most useless.

The Malevolance episode is still pretty early on. It sounds like they're releasing them in individual volumes, rather than a complete season. They did/do that with Stargate; since the episode number is similar, I'd expect four or five volumes with a handful of episodes to come out first, before they get around to releasing the entire season in one go.
I'd say keep an eye and ear out; there's sure to be pleanty of fanfare when they release Season 1 as a full collection.

I'll be looking for a full season bootleg at the Anime con next week- with Bruce Campbell, baby!

Seriously, he went from sounding like normal Jar-Jar to sounding like cigarette smoking Jar- Jar. All the more reason to hate him I guess.
