Just watched the first season mostly in one go. I liked it, despite the fact we already know what will ultimately happen to everyone. Lots of good action, laser sword fights, and plenty of development for the clone troopers as well as the characters we know. As a tech junkie, I really liked the incorporation of the "new" Y-wing bombers, in their pristine condition.
Fun show all around. Still don't like Anakin, especially since he's being portrayed as a reasonably competant if reckless commander. One wonders how his personality took a nosedive before Episode III...

I tend to agree with those points. The only criticisms I have is that the character animation can get a little too Gerry Anderson at times and the music has a habit of whacking you over the head.

Well I haven't seen every episode, but the ones I have seen are okay. The only thing that takes away from the experience is fact that we know how the Clone Wars end, so when I see a bunch of republic citizens cheering about the fact that Clones are gonna be stationed on their planet I think to myself, "Don't get too happy". May ask how you got to see all the eps in one go, I don't know of any places that are streaming online.

I've enjoyed the series, and my son especially loves it, so we have fun watching it together. But yeah, my only crit is Anakin doesn't seem to be as "troubled" as he was even in Episode II. Personally, I'm enjoying the episodes that don't focus on Anakin, so we get to see some of the other Jedi in action.

I agree that the portrayal of Anakin is nothing like his portrayal in the films. But, frankly, that's kind of in favor of the cartoon, isn't it?

Is this on DVD yet? I've only seen the first few episodes on DVD.

Well, Luke did wear tights in the first movie, right?
