Sonia Saraiya AV Club 10/29/2015
It's light fare-after all, it's a Saturday morning cartoon-but it effortlessly takes you into the world of Star Wars, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. As a result it's highly enjoyable: fascinating and immersive and fun. Go to Full Review

8.7/10
This episode underscored what good villains Maul and Savage are, in that it's cool to see them be menacing and also thrilling to see them get beat, since it's firmly established how nasty they are. Go to Full Review

And a Hel of a Lightsaber duel with Palpethine Savage and Maul! See more Marco L @decatur555 May 30 (CASTELLANO) Durante años pensé que The Clone Wars era una serie para niños. Colores chillones, animación rara, personajes caricaturescos... No ayudaba que se emitiera en canales juveniles y que muchos fans “de siempre” la ignoraran. Y sin embargo, qué error tan grande. Porque tras esa primera impresión algo infantil, lo que se esconde aquí es una de las obras más complejas, maduras y emocionantes de todo el universo Star Wars. Es cierto que las dos primeras temporadas pueden despistar. El orden cronológico salta, hay episodios de relleno y no todo parece avanzar. Pero a partir de la tercera —y sobre todo desde la cuarta— la serie da un giro brutal. Se vuelve más oscura, más densa, más adulta. Aparecen tramas que conectan directamente con lo que vendrá después, y los personajes crecen con una profundidad que nunca vimos en las películas. Lo de Obi-Wan en Mandalore es trágico y hermoso. Lo de Ahsoka, directamente inolvidable. La evolución de Anakin, sin necesidad de exagerar ni justificar, es creíble y dolorosa. Los clones, por fin, son tratados como lo que son: personas. Cada uno con su nombre, su carácter, sus miedos. Y luego está Maul. Qué decir de Maul. Si alguien pensaba que era solo un villano de usar y tirar en La amenaza fantasma, aquí se lleva una lección magistral de redención narrativa. Los últimos capítulos son puro cine. El asedio de Mandalore es un espectáculo visual y emocional que no tiene nada que envidiar a una película. La animación alcanza un nivel increíble, la música de Kevin Kiner se mete bajo la piel, y el guión conecta como un puente perfecto con La venganza de los Sith. Verlo sabiendo lo que va a pasar no lo hace menos impactante, sino más. Terminé la serie con lágrimas en los ojos. No exagero. Porque me ha hecho reconciliarme con partes del universo que creía menores. Porque me ha mostrado lo que significa ser Jedi, lo que cuesta una guerra, y lo que duele una traición. Y porque me ha demostrado, una vez más, que no hay que juzgar una historia por su forma, sino por su fondo. Si eres fan de Star Wars y aún no has visto The Clone Wars, estás perdiéndote una de las mejores experiencias que esta galaxia lejana nos ha ofrecido jamás. (ENGLISH) For years, I thought The Clone Wars was just a kids’ show. Bright colors, odd animation, cartoonish characters… It didn’t help that it aired on youth networks and that many long-time fans simply ignored it. But what a mistake that was. Beneath that first, childish impression lies one of the most complex, mature, and emotionally powerful works in the entire Star Wars universe. Yes, the first two seasons can be confusing. The chronological order jumps around, there’s filler, and not everything seems to matter. But from season three — and especially season four — the show takes a sharp turn. It gets darker, denser, more adult. Plotlines begin to tie directly into future events, and the characters grow with a depth we never saw in the films. Obi-Wan’s arc on Mandalore is tragic and beautiful. Ahsoka’s story is simply unforgettable. Anakin’s evolution — without exaggeration or excuses — is believable and painful. And finally, the clones are treated as what they are: people. Each with a name, a personality, and fears. Then there’s Maul. If you thought he was just a throwaway villain from The Phantom Menace, think again — his arc here is a masterclass in redemption. The final episodes are pure cinema. The Siege of Mandalore is a visual and emotional spectacle that rivals any film. The animation reaches stunning levels, Kevin Kiner’s music cuts deep, and the script acts as a perfect bridge into Revenge of the Sith. Watching it knowing what’s coming doesn’t dull the impact — it heightens it. I finished the series in tears. No exaggeration. Because it made me reconnect with parts of the saga I once dismissed. Because it shows what it really means to be a Jedi, what war really costs, and how betrayal truly hurts. And because it reminded me, once again, not to judge a story by its format, but by its heart. If you’re a Star Wars fan and haven’t seen The Clone Wars yet, you’re missing one of the greatest experiences this galaxy far, far away has ever given us. See more Matt O @RT61675367 May 23 “The Fall Before the End” – 4/5 Season 5 delivers several powerful moments, but it’s the final arc that truly elevates it. Ahsoka’s storyline with the Jedi Temple bombing and her departure from the Order is some of the most emotionally charged storytelling in Star Wars. While a few earlier arcs aren’t as strong, the season ends on such a high note that it leaves a lasting impression. A powerful setup for what’s to come. See more Read all reviews
