CLASSIC IMAGE: CONVERGENCE OF GOOD AND EVIL!

On the steps of an abandoned, rain soaked Massassi temple, on the faraway world of Yavin IV, Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker is taunted by the evil Sith wannabe Asajj Ventress in this great image from the second half of the CLONE WARS animated premiere series of 2003.

CLASSIC ART: TOONAMI JEDI!

Here's a great piece of UK bus stop/terminal promotional art for the superb animated CLONE WARS series from 2005, shown on CARTOON NETWORK, and brought to life by Genndy Tartakovsky and his talented team of writers and animators.

Somebody PLEASE release this fantastic micro-series and its epic EPISODE III related sequel onto Blu-ray!

"ARC TROOPERS..DEPLOY!" THE ORIGINAL "CLONE WARS" ANIMATION

I love the new CLONE WARS animated series and eagerly await season three, but lets not forget the superb work done by SAMURAI JACK's Genndy Tartakovsky and his excellent team of writers and animators back in 2003 and 2005, when they pioneered the STAR WARS animation media and set the whole ball of Lucas's imagination rolling with their superb 2-D animation series. The first season of short episodes were by far my favourite, and it's a shame that the Tartakovsky vision of the saga couldn't have done a few more seasons before the arrival of Dave Filoni and his equally fine team.

Lets hope that these original and exciting shows get a worthy Blu-ray release at some point in the not too distant future, with a lot more extras and behind the scenes things than were on the original, quite basic DVD releases of the time.
