Volume 2 of the stylish animated "microseries" Star Wars: Clone Wars picks up where volume 1 left off, with General Grievous threatening a group of Jedi. The war between the Republic and the Separatists continues to rage, and due to desperate need, Anakin Skywalker is bestowed the title of Jedi Knight, though he must undergo one final rite of passage by traveling to the frozen planet of Nelvan. The action is at its fiercest when the Separatists launch an overwhelming assault on Coruscant, and Masters Windu and Yoda get to show their stuff to defend the city. However, it's just a diversion from the main goal: Grievious's attempt to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. In the series' most dramatic moment, Shaak Ti and other Jedi try to fend off the droid's attack. Clone Wars Volume 2 aired on the Cartoon Network in March 2005, and it's a bit more substantial than volume 1, taking place in five 12-minute chapters (nos. 21-25) rather than 3-minute chapters. And while volume 1 was mostly flat-out action, the developments in volume 2 lead directly to the opening of Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. And you even get small tidbits such as C-3PO (again voiced by Anthony Daniels) unveiling his new gold look, Padme sporting a cinnamon-bun hairdo, and the reason why General Grievous has difficulty breathing. Let casual fans content themselves with the feature films; Clone Wars remains essential viewing for the Star Wars aficionado. (Rated Y7 for cartoon action and violence) --David Horiuchi

DVD features
In both a commentary track and a featurette, Genndy Tartakovsky and his creative team discuss the making of Clone Wars and how it ties into Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. If you're not a fan of the Lego Star Wars, you might become one after you watch the amusing "Revenge of the Brick" trailer. There's also the same Xbox demo of Battlefront II that was on the Sith DVD, and the Dolby 5.1 sound is an improvement over volume 1's 2.0 Surround. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars: Episode.....umm.......2..........err.........2.75 November 2, 2005

By Kevin J. Loria VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

Finally, the second volume of the animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars by the Samurai Jack production team. Director Genndy Tartakovsky, obviously a fan of the Star Wars Saga, fills this series with more scenes that fans have waited for that even George Lucas hasn't delivered, for example: The "Knighting" of a Jedi, Windu fighting airborne, while Yoda fights an overwhelming invasion force on Coruscant, much more. The angular stylized animation is a visual feast for all generations. This volume continues where the first left off, with General Grievous, while the war continues, Anakin Skywalker undergoes his final rite of passage, while Master Shaak Ti and other Jedi try to defend the Supreme Chancellor from the General. Clone Wars Vol. II. aired just before the release of Episode III., the series efficiently bridges the Episode II/III. gap, the events in the final chapters (21-25) leading directly to the opening of the movie. Unseen events from the opening crawl are elaborated on like how the Chancellor is kidnapped, how Coruscant strike happens and C-3PO, voiced by the "real deal" (Anthony Daniels), revealing his new "suit." After the 3 minute chapters of "season one" the extended 12 minute chapters are better suited to the more envolved story-line(s).

A must-have for Star Wars and animation fans. Clone Wars Vol.II., like it's predecessor, is an excellent vehicle to introduce the uninitiated to "the Saga."

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Clone Wars: Both innovative and compelling October 15, 2005

A Kid's Review

Format:DVD

In the latest installment of the Star-Wars miniseries, Anakin Skywalker embraces his destiny as he crosses over to the dark side of the force. Gendy Tartovski beautifully illustrates this must-have DVD for Star-Wars fans and art enthusiasts alike. Tartovski's style is so original and brilliant, combining both worlds - the three-dimensional and the two-dimensional, but in a compelling way that makes the combination as genious as peanut butter and chocolate. The story explores every detail of Anakin's struggle to decide which road to take, as he learns the ways of the Force, and becomes more powerful during his journey. Fans of the classic battles in the Star Wars Trilogy will find much appreciation for the new ones featured this season, including such locations as the Gungan city and the hull of a star fighter. I recommend this series to all generations. Its difficult not be pleased by this interpretation of the Star Wars saga.

5.0 out of 5 stars Volume One Brought Episode II To A Close, This Starts Episode III November 1, 2005

By GameraRocks

Format:DVD

As the title of the review says, Clone Wars volume one ended the story of Attack of the Clones just as volume two begins the story of Revenge of the Sith and really does a good job at filling in the holes that are seen when Episode III begins.

How did Anakin get his new mechanical arm and the scar on his face? Why is Grevious coughing in Episode III? When did 3PO get his gold armor? All of these questions and more are answered in Clone Wars Volume Two and it is done very well.

The story is easy to follow and very action packed. Fast moving, I enjoyed this more than Volume One, and I loved Volume one. This is a must have for all Star Wars fans to have in their collection, if for no other reason than it explains a lot of what we see in Ep.III. The coolest part is that it ends right where Episode III begins so you get all of what took place before it. Cool

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it! - Star Wars done right! October 11, 2005

By Charley A. Linden

Format:DVD

I still have all the episodes saved to my TiVo until the DVD release. Totally enjoyable, great action, and decent lead-in to Episode 3. I can only hope Genndy gets a shot to produce more of the Star Wars universe. How about an animated version of the original trilogy?

5.0 out of 5 stars The clone wars draw to an end. April 17, 2006

By Barry Robinson

Format:DVD

On May 19th 2005, the Star Wars saga was deemed "complete" with George Lucas saying there will be no more movies. However, that does not exclude an animated television series. Return to the adventure of the Clone Wars in Vol. 2 of this emmy award winning series. Vol. 2 In my opinion is better than the first and that is saying a lot. There are only 5 episodes on this volume as opposed to the 20 on the first volume, but, these episodes are longer and more story driven. All together this volume runs an hour just like the first one. The bonus features on this dvd are also better than on the original season. The Lego short film "Revenge of the Brick" and several trailers have been included as well as a making of and now two playable xbox levels from Star Wars Battlefront 2. This volume of the Clone Wars reveals a few interesting things about key characters from the films such as C3P-0 and Grevious. We also see Anakin facing the Jedi trials. And finally, this season leads directly into Revenge of the Sith. Now the saga is complete. Buy this dvd if you enjoy Star Wars. This is as good as it gets next to the big screen flicks. Thanks for reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars This fills in alot of gaps March 10, 2006

By Jeff Clover

Format:DVD

When I finished watching this movie I was actually disappointed because it reveals that there will only be 2 installments of the animated Star Wars. It fills in alot of gaps that occur between Episodes II and III. If you're a true Star Wars fan you'll want to see this because it shows how Anakin becomes a Jedi Knight and it shows where his nightmares in Episode III come from. I love it because I'm a die hard Star Wars fan. It also shows why General Greivous has that wheezing cough. Any Star Wars fan DEFINITELY needs to add this to his/her collection.
