Ok, I'll expand it to "storylines leading to yep..more fighting!"
The nice thing about the cartoon is that you can completely ignore it and not miss anything remotely important.

There's a reason they call it Star Wars

Yeah, and not because said movies in any way are more than just about warfare, right? It's not like the entire saga is the story of one man against a backdrop of warfare? Or that the key scenes in all six films are basically people sitting around talking? Or that really bad things happen to people in these films who go excessive on the violence?
SW is more than just one battle after another. It's one battle after another with beefy helpings of character development and plot in between. Which is why Clone Wars sucks. It's the action scenes without anything actually worth thinking about included.

Did you miss the whole Anakin Jedi Trial storyline?
We get a glimpse of Yoda having a Qui Gon related vision then see Anakin have a Force induced vision of his own - both major plot points story wise that we would have otherwise missed.

From a certain point of view. Just because they look like a bunch of freaks and have lots of money doesn't mean they're heartless. Maybe one or two of them were sketchy, but I'm certain they couldn't have risen to be the leaders of their companies without having some good qualities. And seeing is their followers consisted of half the galaxy, many of which later became Rebels, they couldn't have been all bad.
I guess I just don't like black-and-white storylines.
I love black and white because the villians can be really, really evil and commit horrible autrocities. The whiny boo hoo sympathy villians can get annoying after a while.

Well, just like Shadows of the Empire, and this years The Force Unleashed (billed as the next chapter), the same thing can be said of the clone wars cartoon series next year. It will be interesting to see what they do. We know we have 26 episodes of possibly 20 to 30 minutes each of story and animation on it. But what about product tie-ins? I want to see more comic books covering different eras of the clone wars, and several more novels too. Not the crappy Jedi Trial, Medstar books, The Cestus Deception or the hokey Yoda book. Good meaty stuff a la LOE and Shatterpoint.

Which is why I hate the attempts to turn Vader into a sympathetic character. The man watched the destruction of a planet and committed genocide.

Vader IS a bad guy. The 'attempts' were to explain how he arrived there. Believe me, I think the child-killing scenes were Lucas's way of telling us "make no mistake - he's evil, people."

Yup. Anakin killing the kids was the turning point. I also point to when he put the suit on as the definitive evil moment. The only thing that give hima spec of decency was Padme and when Palps tells him that he killed her, Anakin is completely gone.

froghurt, I was thinking the very same thing when they announced the upcoming animated series as taking place during the clone wars. The only justification for this is, well, it's the clone wars. It was the legendary struggle of the star wars mythos for quite a while, from 1977 up until 2002. Only bits and pieces were revealed before then, before those three years leading to 2005. Even with the huge amount of stories told during that time already, Lucas must still consider it fresh material to set the 2008 series in simply because it was that legendary.

The problem I have with the Clone Wars is that now since I know the whole war is a set up, it kind of ruins the whole effect. I would've prefered if they made a CGI Shadows of the Empire movie instead or a CGI series about Yuuzhan Vong War that follows an original character. But the Clone Wars is kind of boring now. I seriously don't know how they can make it exciting at this point. How many times do we have to see these Jedi slice those puny looking droids?
I'm more interested in the live action series. I wonder if Logan is going to get casted or not?
