Volume 2 of the stylish animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars picks up where volume 1 left off, with General Grievous threatening a group of Jedi. The war between the Republic and the Separatists continues to rage, and due to desperate need, Anakin Skywalker is bestowed the title of Jedi Knight, though he must undergo one final rite of passage by traveling to the frozen planet of Nelvan. The action is at its fiercest when the Separatists launch an overwhelming assault on Coruscant, and Masters Windu and Yoda get to show their stuff to defend the city. However, it's just a diversion from the main goal: Grievious's attempt to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. In the series' most dramatic moment, Shaak Ti and other Jedi try to fend off the droid's attack. Clone Wars Volume 2 aired on the Cartoon Network in March 2005, and it's a bit more substantial than volume 1, taking place in five 12-minute chapters (nos. 21-25) rather than 3-minute chapters. And while volume 1 was mostly flat-out action, the developments in volume 2 lead directly to the opening of Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. And you even get small tidbits such as C-3PO (again voiced by Anthony Daniels) unveiling his new gold look, Padme sporting a cinnamon-bun hairdo, and the reason why General Grievous has difficulty breathing. Let casual fans content themselves with the feature films; Clone Wars remains essential viewing for the Star Wars aficionado. (Rated Y7 for cartoon action and violence) --David Horiuchi DVD features
In both a commentary track and a featurette, Genndy Tartakovsky and his creative team discuss the making of Clone Wars and how it ties into Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. If you're not a fan of the Lego Star Wars, you might become one after you watch the amusing "Revenge of the Brick" trailer. There's also the same Xbox demo of Battlefront II that was on the Sith DVD, and the Dolby 5.1 sound is an improvement over volume 1's 2.0 Surround. --David Horiuchi |

Better than Part 1 in character development |
This bridges the gap nicely between Part 1 of the Clone Wars and Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The episodes are twelve to fifteen minutes and therefore are able to explore in much more detail the darker side of Anakin and his love-hate relationship with Obi-Wan. The focus is on their adventures in the Outer-Rim Territories as mentioned in Star Wars Ep III. Anakin becomes a Jedi Knight, and Coruscant is attacked by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. During this diversion, General Grevious steals in and captures Chancellor Palpatine. Therefore it dove-tails right into Ep III.
While Part One was Chapters 1-20, this is Chapters 21-25 which means the individual stories are much longer. Perhaps the most talked about part of this release is the foreshadowing of how Anakin will be tempted to evil, as symbolised by his robotic hand growing larger than larger in a psychadelic dream sequence, as part of his personal test and trial. This mirrors the part in Ep VI where Luke Skywalker examines his own hand, and realises that he could become his father's replacement, a new tool for the Emperor.
For those who have seen the films - the voices are not done by the cast, except Anthony Daniels (C-3PO). |

mace windu is MAGNETO!!!! |
|
I love star wars but I don't know what to think about this cartoon version. The animation looks cheap and the characters look disfigured. The story is just constantly action packed jumping back and forth from battle to battle. I do not like mace windu in this one in where he punches droids into scrap metal and can defeat thousands of them with the wave of his hand. Imagine in Episode 2 when the Jedi are surrounded by droids at the stadium. In the cartoon mace would have just closed his fist and crushed the droids, it was like he was magneto. The story jumps way off with Anakin trying to save some primitive race from being converted to a new weapon used by grievous. He saves them at the end but I didn't get why the writers would even add such a long story to something that seem pointless. |

This is a titlle that we can see the events beteen the episodes 2 and 3 a with a good quality, but for me not the best in the animation, I would like to see it made in japan. |

GREAT series! |
|
Entertaining DVD. This isn't one of those star wars screw-ups that makes the saga look bad like many stupid and randomized series of books out there about the star wars universe. Must buy for any fan. A little short. Enough said. :) |

A great animated bridge between Episodes I & II |
|
This animated installment of the Star Wars saga, covering the period between Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Episode III - Revenge of the Sith is excellent. It is a must for fans of Stars Wars. |
