I love the new Clone Wars series. I never watched the old one, nor do I have the baggage of comics, novels, or expectations. My 5-year-old son loves The Clone Wars too. And interestingly, just like when I was a kid and everyone liked Darth Vader (and wanted to dress as him for Halloween) - my son loves General Grevious.

There were a few duds over the course of this first season, but they were few and far between for me. And there's no real correllation between early episodes and later ones for where the 'better' ones are. I thought the Yoda episode early on with him teaching the clones was a highlight, whereas the Aayla two-parter and the Ryloth trilogy didn't do much for me. Most of the rest, I really enjoyed, even ones starring Jar Jar. Yep, unlike the actual prequel movies, I found him funny in this series - and that goes for the battle droids as well. I think they've had some great one-liners, in fact, they've finally figured out that the Battledroids are the only consistent humor vehicle in this time period (like Han was in the Original Trilogy), and they've figured out how to utilize them better for that purpose (usually in playing them off against either Grevious or our heroes). I even like Asoka - though they could both lose the cute nicknames for each other.

Unfortunately, the Twilight is a complete dud. What the hell is that, a cardboard box with wings?! These are the same people who can give us the Millenium Falcon. Go back to the drawing board and try again.

But I'm really looking forward to watching Season 2 with my son, as he's only catching up right now on Season 1 (whereas I watched them when they came out).
