Product Description:
The "Clone Wars" goes back to the original Star Wars film when Obi-Wan Kenobi tells Luke Skywalker that he was once a Jedi knight the same as your father and that they fought together in the Clone Wars. Since that moment fans have been obsessed with what the clone wars were. This new TV series takes place immediately after the events of Star Wars-Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The series follows Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker and introduces us to some new characters such as Ahsoka Tano a girl Jedi knight as well as characters we already know.

Review: This show, it goes without saying, has upped the bar for Cartoon Network programming. Preceeded by a ground-breaking series of online animated shorts and, of course, the feature film, Clone Wars is epic. This release collects the first four episodes of the series.

I know what you're thinking...a single disc release?! What the?! This format is a tired way for studios to make a quick buck, right? Perhaps. Its also a way to gradually release a complete series. The issue that they have, and I can kinda see it, is that most parents (the vast majority of the purchasing audience, regardless of what us fanboys & girls would like to believe) is very much less likely to drop $30-$40 for a complete season set.

They are, however, likely to drop $10-$15 on this. Now..you may be saying "well, I'll wait for a complete season set". We aren't necessarily gonna get one. Look at X-Men Evolution. That was a GREAT show..and the first two seasons you can still only get by collecting all of the single disc releases.
