Uncle Skippy recommends SW:TCW

Got a chance to check out the first two episodes of Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars which premiered over the weekend. Uncle Skippy likes it and recommends it to you, faithful reader. It's total fun to see Yoda, especially jumping around and destroying droid after droid. The animation is cool and sharp and the art is engaging.

For those of you that saw it, it's in the same style as the feature film. I haven't had a chance to see the film because it looked too violent (even cartoon violence) for a six year old and when I go to the movies, I go with my son, so those are the movies I see now.

The only potentially annoying thing about the series is the frontline battle droids of the Seperatists. They are exceedingly dumb and their "personality" is truly grating. Hard to buy though that the Separatists would put up with such annoying droids making up the bulk of their battle forces. Why wouldn't you just program them to have a better and less insipid personality?

I guess there's an interesting story in their somewhere, if the Sith met the programmers to complain about the programming and the creators were just as annoying as the droids. They'd be like "What? What's wrong with their personality? They're just like us." LOL.

Or not.

Anyway, check in out Cartoon Network (Fridays at 9 ET) or the first episode is up on the web site (linked above, you're welcome).
