A Review of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 From 2010

It seems like Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 has been going on for an eternity. I mean, it’s been nearly 8 months since it’s debut and ever since then, we have had plenty of kick ass episodes, filled with killer spider droids, shapeshifting aliens, Jon Favreau, killer bounty hunters, and not to mention a Godzilla like creature causing havoc on Coruscant. But this upcoming Friday, all the Clone Wars craze will come to a close in an epic two-part season finale, featuring the deadly bounty hunter in adolescence, Boba Fett.


Even though the Star Wars story has rapped up many years earlier, and we know what is to come of most of the characters in the Clone Wars, there is still a feeling of hard core suspense and action within the Clone Wars TV show, and I find it to be one of the most cultural and photo realistic TV shows I have ever seen, on par with other classic shows like Batman: The Animated Series as well as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformers, shows that popularized the media in the late 80s.

I feel like Star Wars will never die, as long as a show like this comes along to further bring it to a hype. The Clone Wars has such a good story and such good character development, it’s even better than the prequel films. Sure, the prequels are still remarkable in my book and they surely did make Star Wars what it is today. but The Clone Wars has the edge, and I feel bad for any hard core Star Wars fan not watching it. Surely the film that started the show was met with mixed reviews, but the show that followed brought it to the hype it deserved.And with season 2, it brings the story to an even darker premise. I feel like season 1 was like A New Hope, establishing many things that will come to importance in later seasons. I feel like season 2 is like The Empire Strikes Back, taking what made the first good and surpassing the story even further. They also have brought in many other interesting characters into season 2, bringing in a lot of hard core suspense and drama with them. When you bring in new characters, there must be good story and character development to go along with them, and the Clone Wars covered that. I was shocked to see what some of the characters did in this season.

I was expecting more General Grievous in this season rather than just two episodes. Heck, Count Dooku had 1 episode and Asajj Ventress had none. But hey, in order to bring in more interesting characters, I guess they have to limit the amount of appearances of others. Overall, season 2 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars was spectacular, and I found it to be a milestone in television. All I can say is that I can’t wait for season 3, and I can wait to see how this will all tie in with the first Clone Wars series, as well as Revenge of the Sith.
