While I was at first unimpressed by the beginning of season 1 it won me over and at the end of the show I was truly a fan. The show itself tells the story of the Clone Wars between Star Wars episode 2 and 3 and can be viewed as shorterWhile I was at first unimpressed by the beginning of season 1 it won me over and at the end of the show I was truly a fan. The show itself tells the story of the Clone Wars between Star Wars episode 2 and 3 and can be viewed as shorter prototype for the more famous later Clone Wars TV show (This is not canon anymore with the new show). It was produced with a small team and in two weeks according to director Genndy Tartakovsky. The result was amazing and shows what is possible even with a small budget if you put hearth and passion into it. I must warn you that here on Metacritic they mixed up the season labeling. Season 1 on Metacritic is actually season 1 and 2 while Season 2 is actually season 3. The visuals are not that good and I found them limited but will say they improved during the show. Especially some characters look strange at first like Palpatine and Ventress. However the aesthetics and style were great and impressed me. The stories are immersive and enjoyable. They put a lot of character development, battles and interesting stories into the short run time. This won me over and the more I watched the more I enjoyed the show. With this out of the way lets go to my rating.
Season 1 (First 10 episodes) aka Season 1 on Metacritic: They try their best to give us breathtaking battles, duels, characters and stories. With the above mentioned limitation I think they did well enough. I also think there is not much to say more than this. Overall it is a project that despite its limitations won me over. The first season is not that good first but improves. I give it a 7/10 in regards to the limitations and short production time. For this it is excellent and other shows could take an example.
Season 2 (Episode 11-20) aka also Season 1 on Metacritic:
This is were the show gets really good if not awesome. We get a badass Mace Windu, Yoda to the rescue and a General Grievous who makes his later incarnation look like a pathetic joke to name a few. Also a lot of development for Anakin or his first steps in another direction in an epic challenge. While the visuals improved it is not as good as the other Star Wars shows. The style and story however easily erase this weakness. It was intense, enjoyable and well crafted in regards of story telling and ideas. Overall this is a hell of an improvement a I will give a 9/10 as it was more than satisfying.
Season 3 (Episode 21-25) aka Season 2 on Metacritic:
It deals with the aftermath of the humiliating defeat of the Jedi by General Grievous who is a badass here that makes the later incarnation look pathetic, a final adventure for Anakin and Obi Wan and the start of the battle of Coruscant that is continued in Revenge of the Sith. The stories are immersive and enjoyable. Alone the adventure o Nelvaan is worth watching but we get also all Jedi masters in action. Overall this is a satisfying conclusion for the show and I will give a 10/10 here.
Overall evaluation:
I think I do the math and give a 9/10 (26/3= 8,7). It is enjoyable and I recommend it for Star Wars fans.… Expand

Me encanta, es lo mejor que hay en cuanto a Star Wars en la televisión. La forma en la que las imágenes hablan por sí solas, esa elegante foto y el uso del silencio. A mi parecer es uno de los mejores retratos de la galaxia jamás hecho.
