    Man, I loved that series. What is Tartakovsky up to these days?

    ninja edit! He has nothing to do with Foster's... who knew? Apparently he's directing a live action Astro Boy and Dark Crystal 2.

    Man, this makes me want to watch clone wars again *whips out the dvds*

    Is it sad that a series of animated shorts were the best thing to come out of the prequel trilogy?

    Aw I was hoping they'd make a game where we hunt down the Jedi in the post-Episode 3 timeline....

    ... damn buddhist pro-democracy bastards that they are.

    Instead we get more Clone Wars? Bah!!

    You guys realize this is based on the upcoming Clone Wars, and not the previous (amazing) one, right?

    I still need volume two... I think I like the Clone Wars shorts better than all 6 of the films.

    Are you serious?

    Because the next-gen game (Force Unleashed) is about exactly that.

    Genndy Tartakovsky took General Grievous and made him an absolute Jedi-killing badass.

    George Lucas took said badass and somehow managed to twist him into the most lame character in the 3rd movie (possibly excluding Anakin himself).

    Seriously, they packed more creativity and style into those 5 minute shorts than Lucas managed with 3 ENTIRE movies. If you need proof of this:

    Now THAT's the kind of action we should have seen in the movies.

    I hate you because I'm going to spend the next hour now watching them all.

    Use to have the whole thing on my computer...DVD worth buying at all?

    EDIT: They actually explain why Grievous, well, sucks in the movie:
    At the end of Episode 25, Mace force crushes the General's chest. For those that don't know, Grievous is a cyborg and his organs are contained there. This is why Grievous has wicked asthma and can't fight worth shit.

    Now, there's just explanation. I certainly don't agree with defanging such a cool villain.

    Yeah, episode 25 (Clone Wars) was made AFTER Episode III (movies). I can admire the fact that GT tried to explain how Grievous became... like that later on, but really there's no way he could have fully achieved that.

    Because Grievous became so lame, so very lame in the end.

    I don't really get why Lucas would want to write a character like Grievous as being disabled. You'd think he'd want to give the character some chance at instilling fear.

    Shoot, even the novel of Revenge of the Sith had better expansion on Grievous. A scene with him arguing with a commander of one of the Republic ships(scenes of which are lacking in all of the prequel trilogy: less land battles, more space battles please).

    Too bad they aren't doing a console version... that'd be the first SW game I'd be willing to buy in a long time.

    I didn't say I agreed with it...when you create villains they have to be menacing. I have no idea why they decided to take that away from Grievous. There's just no emotional investment to be had in his scenes. In Clone Wars? Holy shit he was a terror.

    It also helped that people DIED in Clone Wars. Grievous might not have been as awesome if we had the silly, Samurai Jack "Everyone's a robot" deaths in there.

    Goddamit.

    Give this franchise to the Behemoth and make an Alien Hominid style game from this.

    I would pay cash money for something like that. Episodic over XBLA, all the best parts of the Clone Wars were the unbelievable action scenes and that would translate so perfectly to a Castle Crashers/Alien Hominid style side scroller. PLEASE O PLEASE O PLEASE
