![]() I'll talk about it a bit more later, but all throughout the chase scene with Grievous, Sidious disguises his true nature so well. At the end of the series, we get an actual showing of the battle on Coruscant's surface (!!!!!) and Palpatine's "kidnapping". He is always thinking of his master plan, and manipulates everyone with an almost unnatural skill. What they show of him early on is great as well. Sidious: Sidious doesn't appear too much, except towards the very end. His ability to easily best Ventress and, more impressively, Grievous (more on that later) is incredible to watch. But the series does show that he is a very powerful Sith Lord, despite only being a pawn in Sidious's game. It shows the magnitude of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan's feelings of insufficiency to train Anakin, and even Anakin's eventual turn to the Dark Side.ĭooku: There isn't too much to say about Dooku's 2003 appearance, as he actually isn't in the series too much. I also really love a line he gives shortly before he and Anakin's forces are deployed to Muunilist, "I doubt even Master Qui-Gon could have prepared a Jedi for this". I quite like that Tartakovsky showed the conflict between him and Anakin's poor choices in the earlier parts of the series, as well as their brotherhood. Still sarcastic, still great at giving banter, and still a wise teacher. Obi-Wan: Obi-Wan has remained largely the same in the media he's appeared in, and his 2003 self is no different. We also see him several times with Padme, showing his near-infatuation and deep love for her, reinforcing their tragedy in ROTS He is becoming the powerful Jedi that we see in ROTS. I also like how Anakin's skill progresses as the series moves on. Anakin uses Ventress's own sith lightsaber to kill her, foreshadowing his fall. And turn closer to the Dark Side he does, throughout the battle, Anakin gives into anger quite often, and the visuals show this. Early on in the series, Darth Sidious sends Ventress to "kill" Anakin (she's actually being used as just another step in Anakin's turn, and is a really nice attention to detail in showing the Emperor's ultimate plan). He still feels that Obi-Wan and the Council don't appreciate his ability, and he is still hotheaded, but it's a lot more bearable than AOTC. However, 2003 Anakin is largely the same as his AOTC self, just dialed back. ![]() And yeah, AOTC Anakin was pretty annoying, but it kind of irks me that they changed his behavior that much in that short of a time gap. He is still reckless, but he's more like a young dad (if that makes any sense) than a teenager. ![]() But in the 2008 Clone Wars, Anakin behaves rather differently than he did in AOTC. In both versions of the Clone Wars, they begin shortly after the events of Attack of The Clones. This version of the character is actually pretty different than the 2008 Clone Wars version, and is one of my issues with the newer show. Tartakovsky also greatly exaggerates battle scenes and force powers, which can be argued is inaccurate, but it displays the magnitude of the war very well and reminds us that the Jedi and Sith are the most capable warriors in the galaxy, and are talked about just as mystically as the Force itself.Īnakin: Like I said before, the main development of Anakin's character is shown through his actions. It's heavily stylized, but it just looks so good on everything. Visuals: The art for this show is amazing. Tartakovsky uses visuals to get the idea across and develop characters, specifically Anakin In Clone Wars, there is very little dialogue, and it works so well. The animation and general style of storytelling are very similar. Plot in general: For those of you who don't know, the 2003 Clone Wars was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, the man behind "Samurai Jack" and "Primal", and it really shows in Clone Wars. I really don't even know where to begin, so I'm just going to break up the main talking points into different sections.
