Story Overview: This 2003 animated series follows the Clone Wars which are set between (II) Attack Of The Clones and (III) Revenge Of The Sith. The war is a fight between the Jedi's with their exploits and Galactic Republic.
Their are a handful of battles to follow within this series. Kit Fisto in an underwater fight on Mon Calamari, Mace Windu destroying a seismic tank on Dantooine, Yoda/Padme Amidala rescuing Luminara Unduli and Barris Offee on Ilum, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti, K'Kryhk and Aayla Secura fight General Grievous on Hypori and Obi-Wan Kenobi confronts Durge on Muunilinst while Anakin Skywalker leads the battle in space which becomes a chase which then turns into a lightsaber fight killing off Asajj Ventress. The series follows many battles.
To really follow the battles you have to be a big Star Wars fan. I personally like Star Wars but I'm not a crazy fan so after watching, with a bit of reading I gained a good understanding of the war. But even with the lack of knowledge, all 20 episodes are full of great animated action which will grasp your attention. You also get to see some of the lesser known Jedi's which is neat. But overall they focus on the hero's Obi-Wan and Anakin.
What is nice about the film is that the voices are very similar to the movies which help you relate which cartoon characters are who in the movies. When I found out James Arnold Taylor was Obi-Wan, I was surprised to see it was not Ewan McGregor. This whole series was done well from animations to audio. It shall make all Star War fans proud.
