Clone Wars Strikes Back... And We Couldn't Be Happier
Zero-gravity battles! Lightsaber duels! Dead Greedos! It can only mean one thing: Star Wars: The Clone Wars is back for a second season and, yes, it actually is better than ever. More » -

Things Get Darker, And Better, On Clone Wars Finale
Pity poor Clone Wars, finishing its first season on the same night as Battlestar Galactica... It was pretty much doomed to be overshadowed, even though last night was the best episode of the season altogether. More » -

Wars Are Almost Over, If You Want It
The invasion of the planet Ryloth is over... and the first season of George Lucas' Star Wars: The Clone Wars can almost say the same. But which caused more suffering, overall? More » -

Innocents Save The Day, And The Episode, On Clone Wars
It never fails: meet an alien child on a war-torn planet and she'll provide the key to helping the good guys win in the end. Thankfully, last night's Clone Wars stayed true to the formula. More » -

Double The Jar-Jar, Double The Frustration On Clone Wars Double Bill
It's all viral warfare this week on Clone Wars, but don't worry; Jar-Jar and a comedy Nazi scientist are here to make sure that it's not as exciting as it may sound. More » -

Old Soldiers Make Clone Wars Feel Like Star Trek
Ah, the schizophrenic nature of The Clone Wars. Last week, we learned that war was awesome and pacifists are idiots, and this week, it's all about the destructive paranoid nature of war. Conflicted much? More » -

Explosions > Peace In This Week's Clone Wars
This week on George Lucas Wants You To Learn That Fighting Is Awesome, war comes to Space Brigadoon, and Raccoon Ewoks discover that pacifism is for losers. Socially responsible television the way you like it! More » -

The United Nations Of Star Wars Still Disappoints
Two thoughts occurred to me during last night's episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Firstly, the series should never, ever, try to make any philosophical points. And secondly, that French Jedi is kinda cute. More » -

Is There Anything Jar-Jar Can't Ruin?
You know that there's something wrong with last night's Clone Wars episode when the thing I spent most time thinking about while watching it was that Jar-Jar sounded different than usual. Another misfire awaits. More » -

Clone Wars Makes Pirating Look Like Viable Career Opportunity
Space pirates, shady dealings and a rescue from the clutches of bad guys - It can only be the return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, with another episode that thrills and impresses... surprisingly. -

Robot Shall Rise Up Against Robot In This Week's Clone Wars
Of all the loves that dare not speak their name, is there any more beautiful than the one between a man and his droid? That's the question that this week's Clone Wars sought to answer and, thanks to some more-impressive than usual visuals and an unexpectedly engaging final battle, the answer may be "We're still not convinced, but we're willing to give the benefit of the doubt." Who knew that watching hot droid on droid action could be so exciting? More » -

Whiny Anakin And Star Wars Techno Expose Clone Wars' Shortcomings
Last night's Clone Wars may not have looked promising from the teasers (Anakin loses R2 and whines about it! Oh no!), and perhaps that lack of interest was felt by the people behind the show, as well. How else to explain the sudden appearance of a distractingly non-John Williams-esque, Alias-like quasi-electronica soundtrack? Or, for that matter, the equally-sudden, but 100% more awesome, appearance of IG-88s as "assassin droids"? More » -

Star Wars May Not Be Hell, But It's Definitely Heck If You're A Clone
This week's Clone Wars dumped a lot of the traditional Star Wars trappings - although they kept in the now-expected moment of ripping off the original trilogy - and the result was something that seemed more like a war story than usual... and a welcome reminder that there's more to George Lucas' saga of a galaxy far, far away than lightsaber battles and midichlorians.

Clone Wars Saves Itself By Channeling... George Lucas?!?
This week's episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars offered thrills and spills, derring-do rescues and damsels in distress, and a breathy bad-guy ditching the flawed giant evil death machine and flying off into deep space at the end of the episode. It all seemed very familiar indeed, like this old movie about Darth something and a Death Star, who could've guessed? But Star Wars wasn't the only George Lucas joint that this week's episode cribbed from... and we'd like to see more, thanks. More » -

The Clone Wars Need More Elvis And More Space Whales
We admit it, midway through last night's third episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we were beginning to think that ol' Tiger Karate knew what he was talking about when he asked for a little less conversation and a little more action, please. But just when we were on the verge of giving up, suddenly there were space whales and a surprisingly familiar space battle to save the day - for the few kids who'd been able to stick around that long.
