I really enjoy this series, a computer animated show set in between episodes 2 and 3 of the films. It will be the end of season two next week so I though I'd take a moment to write down some of my thoughts about it. The CG work is extremely well done, especially considering the tight schedule they're probably on for a weekly TV series. While it's obviously not photo realistic the stylized look they've gone for works well enough for me. The stories are all exciting and fast paced probably helped by the 20 minute run time. It's understandable that very few of the actors from the films are responsible for voicing the show but that doesn't matter. The alternatives they've found all do a good job and most of the time you don't even notice. There are one or two moments that betray the fact this is aimed at younger children (other than it being aired on Cartoon Network). These moments usually involve Jar Jar or C3PO doing something doing something stupid or childish but luckily this doesn't happen too many times, it's more about big space battles and light saber fights. I'm looking forward to the season finale next week and I really should get around to buying the season one boxed set at some point soon. If you're a fan of Star Wars and don't mind the prequels then you should check this out if you haven't already.
