I was on IGN (I know, I know) and saw a review for an episode which said it was pretty good and I was seeing images of the show and it seemed pretty good. Though I really don't want to take their opinion. Can anyone tell me if the show is worth a watch? Or will I be told that it doesn't exist like episode 1 - 3... :p

(This is the CGI version)

The new animated version was pretty good, in my opinion.

But then again I enjoyed Episodes 1-3 just as much as 4-6 so I'm probably psychotic in some way, given what everyone else in the world tells me.

I've heard that the TV series wasn't bad. The animated movie on the other hand, was completely made of arse.

I strongly dislike it, I find the sories to be sub-par and the little Togruta ***** excessively annoying.

That depends. Do you think juvenile bullshit written by someone who should have just given up all intellectual rights to his franchise twelve years ago can be any good?
If yes, you are clearly fucked in the head and the rules of logic do not apply here.

Some episodes exceptionally good (mainly clone-centric ones), others middling to offputting.

Go watch it man, I don't regret it. I like the aphorisms before each episode.

Well it's better than the star wars holiday special. And possibly episodes 1, 2 & 3. But that's not saying a lot.

These days I just keep my pockets full of sand and avoid star wars wherever possible. George Lucas should just start his own version of the church of Scientology or something 'cause he's definitely reached the prerequisite level of bat shit insane.

I like it, I find the show to be quite entertaining.
The clone centric episodes are definitely the best, but overall the show's pretty good.
This is all In my opinion, of course.

Clone-whatty what now? The only 'Wars' I know is Star Wars, and there aren't any TV shows of it, only 3 movies made in the 70s-80s (you can see what I'm getting at here- as the OP predicted).

I must admit episode 3 wasn't ALL that bad, but the original trilogy still stands head and shoulders above all else, including clone wars.

This.

Though the TV series had its ups and downs. it depended on the episode and how much non canon they wanted to shovel in to make it canon.

It seems to vary episode to episode.

The episodes focusing on clones are pretty good. Anything focusing on Padme/Anikan/HisAnnoyingApprentice/Anyone Else tend to be meh at best and cringe-worthy at worst.

Find and watch the Genndy Tartakovsky edition of the clone wars cartoons. They're excellent, especially the second volume (you don't need to watch the first but it's good too, but the second has a little more of a plot)

There are two TV shows about The Clone Wars:

1) Star Wars: Clone Wars was a 2003 series done by Genndy Tartakovsky of Samurai jack fame. The animation style is similar to Samurai Jack, but with outlines and CG spaceships. The series was originally broadcast as four-minute episodes for the first two seasons, then as twelve-minute episodes for the third season. Even in this format, the series earned an Emmy award.

Best watched as a movie or on DVD.

2) Star Wars: THE Clone Wars is a 2008 CGI cartoon of which the older series is considered a spiritual pilot (ie different writers, producers and tone)

If you can deal with George Lucas style of writing and Ja Ja Binks, some episodes (specially the ones focusing on the clone troopers) can be quite good.

I am going to writing this with highish praise of what I think of this show.....PACE OF CRAP.
You may think I am being hard on the show but I am long time star wars fan and I did have high hopes for the show after watching the fist clone war cartoon. But my hopes were burn, rape, eaten, cut, pee on, poop out, and then eaten again because of undead anorexia cow that George Lucas will continued to try and mike. The story and characters do till it's made for kids But do I like side story of the over jadi for I am really get sick and tired of little orphan Annie yell at student for ever stupid thing did or didn't do. And as for the Cone trooper....well.. they suck too, they do show identity for themselves even those they do look, sound, eat, and ballroom dance the some. And now it's just get sad, like for one they are putting people who dead in the movie into the show like... darth maul. Going back to that very upsetting movie that will not do said....or written darth maul was cut half and fell into hole that I though was bottomless but even if the mighty bearded man in the sky said (who i am saying is Tim Schafer or Burnie Burns I'll you pick)" no no no this will not do i must put a bottom to this bottomless" even if this was done he will still be as flat as volleyball player chest.(Oh was that a little girl hating I am sorry let's go with as flat as Dick Cheney plus) Hes coming back and look ouy jedi he has no lags. Now let's finish things off with thing that make's me more mad at this new generation who say they are big star war fan but always ask who is that? What I am saiding is that they are put bad guys from the fist movie like Greedo. You know that green guy who got shot not even less then five minutes after we meet Han Solo, I not saying that episode Bullock even those it was. It was idea of this kids who don't even know great fight over who shot fist. But There some episode that are good but there still pretty bad. But that's me

P.s General Grevous is a total puss.

I watched maybe seven or eight episodes and I really didn't like it. Clearly aimed at kids, the CGI in my opinion isn't all that great looking, and the writing acutally makes me miss episode 2 (but not episode 1 because nothing can make me miss that.)

I watched the cartoon, apparently the samurai jack one, and it was decent, although I'm not singing any praises.

The CGI movie was just completely fucked up. Don't watch it.

Not a clue about any new series, but if it has anything to do with the CGI movie, I pass.

To put is nicely, it is arse.
The stories are completely random, the texts are nonsensical, and none of the jokes were funny sofar, not to mention the awful models.

And the worst thing about it is alot of people like it just because it has a Star Wars label, and when such piss poor quality is accepted why make anything good.
Damn you you blind consumer sheep!
