Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Complete Season Two (Repackage)



Fantastic Show! Stellar Episodes... But there's still work to be done!
-----------------------------------------EPISODES' REVIEW------------------------------------------
When a show says its pushing for 5 seasons, you generally tend to get very nervous, especially since an entire 1st season and a motion picture tanked your expectations, being "mediocre" at best. But now this new DVD release has really swept me off my feet! Star Wars never looked so good on TV! The acting is superb (with a few exceptions I'll roll out later), the story is never bland (although it suffers from unbelievably goofy premises) and each and every episode is able to hold the other up by its caliber in brilliance!

Hard decisions must be made; characters must be tested in harsh circumstances. And to that end, it succeeds. A reviewer or two has stated the characters seem detached about the death around them. I would think that would be a normal knee-jerk reaction. One has to deal with the violence, the death, the destruction, the intensity, somehow. So I think it is natural that one would detach and seem cold and emotionless. But, I digress. This is a great season of a great show. For what it is worth, my younger brother who has heard of it, but never watched it, recently tuned into Cartoon Network and started watching season three and has...
