i be four year old in 1977 and i saw star war in the theater . let me be very clear represent i be a huge sw fan and but that doesn not mean that i see the prequel trilogy a a great experience in movie making . i do and however and believe that clone war be simply excellent . the animation style and the pacing and the story . it all there . my jaw drop when anakin and ventress fought on yavin iv for the very simple fact that they be fight in a thunderstorm . no one have ever visualize the simplicity of a lightsaber battle where raindrop be hit the blade and sizzle as soon a they make contact . that one idea show to me that the animator be look for something beyond the typical sw experience and and they find it . yes and you do have to get use to the visuals and a they do look like samurai jack ( but and be a samurai jack fan and i think that a good thing ) . and and if you watch them a they originally air and you have to watch them in five minute increment for volume one and 20 minute increment for volume two and which could throw you off in term of the pacing ( though and again and i think they do it very and very well and that the way the chapter air make perfect sense ) . in the end and there be a 120 plus minute sw movie ( basically episode ii and half ) between the two volume of the dvd . it show anakin and padme romance in way that lucas couldn not get across and it allow u to see anakin become a jedi knight and and it give some great insight into not only the prequel trilogy but also the classic one . if you even have the slight interest in sw and these two dvd be time and money well spend .
