This is the complete series 1 and it's excellent,

This review is from: Star Wars - The Clone Wars - Season 1 [DVD] (DVD)
This box-set contains all 22 episodes in series 1 of 'The Clone Wars'. I really enjoyed watching these CGI/animated stories and kind of wished aspects of them were included in the prequel movie trilogy. We get to see many different new planets and races and some awesome space and land battles with Anakin more vividly shown as the "powerful Jedi" whom Yoda speaks of to Luke in that scene in 'The Empire Strikes Back'.
This series is very different to the 2003 cartoon series made by Genndy Tartakovsky, in which the action was simply relentless and the force powers beyond comprehension. Here, the action scenes (and force powers) are more in sync with the movies except the focus is purely on the events of the clone wars. It should have been released a bit sooner instead of the 4 episode disc that has been available for some time (I would strongly recommend against buying that). An obvious money-grabbing tactic by Lucasfilm but I can't imagine many people would settle for 4 episodes only. Anyway, most of the series follows the two heroic Jedi knights, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi, though a few episodes do feature other characters such as Yoda (episode 1), Padme and the much-maligned Jar Jar (episode 8), Ahsoka Tano (episode 9), Kit Fisto (episode 10) and Mace Windu (episode 21). Furthermore, some storylines focus on the clone troopers (episodes 5 and 16) with Captain Rex and Commander Cody emerging as fan favourites. Each episode is about 20 minutes long and titled as follows: 1. Ambush 2. Rising Malevolence 3. Shadow of Malevolence 4. Destroy Malevolence 5. Rookies 6. Downfall of a Droid 7. Duel of the Droids 8. Bombad Jedi 9. Cloak of Darkness 10. Lair of Grievous 11. Dooku Captured 12. The Gungan General 13. Jedi Crash 14. Defenders of Peace 15. Trespass 16. The Hidden Enemy 17. Blue Shadow Virus 18. Mystery of a Thousand Moons 19. Storm Over Ryloth 20. Innocents of Ryloth 21. Liberty on Ryloth 22. Hostage Crisis My kids and I loved watching this and we cannot wait for the second series.

The Clone Wars is an awesome look on the massive Star Wars universe.
it fills in the gap between the movies Attack of the Clones & Return of the Sith, which basically tell the beginning and the end of the war. Now we have an ongoing series showing us what happened in the war itself. Since it is a series and the episodes aren't always linked completely together you get to see more individual views on the war, the episodes wary a lot, some revolve around Jedi, like the movies do, but some revolve around clone troopers as well... We see more alien worlds and mysterious creatures and get to focus on (in combat) more strategic elements to the story. All in all a great series, if you like Star Wars, then you can't pass this up! What I love most of all about it is that it can go into detail on small agendas, not always showing us the big picture...

I had a few doubts about the Clone Wars, I did enjoy the film but was hoping the series wouldnt be dumbed down for kids. I dont think it was at all, a few early episodes weren't great but then it really found its rhythm and every episode was superb.
You get to see/learn a lot about other characters, the animation is superb, a lot of action, a great series. Only bad thing was the way it was shown in the UK on Sky Movies, complete con as its not a movie, just Sky's way of getting kids moaning at their parents to get the movie channel ! Should be on Sky 1 instead. As the reviewer above said dont bother getting the DVD's with a measely 4 episodes on each one, this box set looks much better and better priced. Looking forward to Season 2 which starts in the US on Friday 2nd. Excellent series !
