Eww... CGI. Why? What was wrong with the Samurai Jack-esque cartoon?

This looks like something you'd see in a Newgrounds video. What's with the awful CGI? Everyone looks terrible. Was the animation not expensive enough for them? Awful.

Totally digging it. I've made it well known that I'm both a huge fan of Genndy, and of the animated Clone Wars, but I still think this looks awesome. Would I have preferred them to stick to the old style? Yes, but this still looks great.

What seems weird is that they kept the old character designs, Obi-Wan's beard and Yoda really stick out the most, yet they went with CGI. At least it makes for some sort of a link between the two. The character models look good, though. They don't look like they'll speak or emote all that well, but their movements look pretty damn sweet. Exaggerated and cartoony, the way it should be.

I'm praying for some amazing action sequences from this, on the level of the two-parter starring Mace Windu, as well as slick Clone Trooper action, like the second episode of season 1.

Really looking forward to this!

As it goes with CGI, I can relate to many of the sentiments being voiced here. However, I remember similar thoughts about the recent TMNT movie, and that came out really well. In fact, this looks very similar in style to the TMNT movie. To me, at least.


I'm stoked.

Scratch my original post. I think it looks better this way. The payoff for the improved action scenes is immense and totally worth the switch to CGI. This just became my most anticipated series of the year.

The CGI looks good. I'm looking forward to this, as well. Is it gonna be on Cartoon Network?

The old style was good, but the cgi here is actually quite a bit better then what I would have expected from a t.v. series.

No network has picked it up yet but it'll probably be on Cartoon Network.

This is what's expected for the series:
Over 100 eps are planned
Each planet has their own theme song
There will be a new Padawan Togruta character named Asoka
An appearance by Boba Fett is possible
The cast of the movies will be in it (Anthony Daniels, Frank Oz, ect)

i just hope they give the clone troopers some screen time--give the clone commanders some story lines---stories about them! yesss! and arc clones and such....i'm clone obbessive... :lol:

This looks pretty sweet. I'm also a fan of the CGI, and I really like the depth it added. Only thing that bugs me is Obi Wan's beard. But the CGI looks really good in general.

I'm excited.

I do agree about that. However, reading the first few posts, I thought it was gonna be horrible. But it actually looks very good. I do think it's funny that they're half cartoon and half real life styled. But then again, humans always look VERY awkward if they're too realistic. Much as I like Shrek, I felt Incredibles looked much better, since the humans were stylized and still looked animated.

But as far as Star Wars projects upcoming, I'm more excited about the Muppet Star Wars figures.

I just hope this doesn't suck. The animation looks great, though (but I will miss the old style of Genndy).

I may be bais as I am a huge Star Wars fan but I am realy looking forward to this show.
