	Now that Season 1 is on DVD and Blu-Ray, I'd like to give a fresh start to discussion on Season 1 for those fans who are checking out The Clone Wars for the first time on video, who might want to avoid spoilers for Season 2. I'll also be including a general FAQ for Season 1 that will be updated on a running basis. First off, for those who have been following the discussion till now, our prior pre-release discussion thread can be found HERE. I'll reiterate that this thread is to have no spoilers for Season 2, except for discussion regarding any Season 2 preview extras included on the DVD/Blu-Ray. If you'd like to discuss any of these episodes in a full spoiler context, you can use any of the individual episode discussion threads (a list is provided at the bottom of this post) or the general series discussion sticky thread in the forum. F.A.Q. (updated on an ongoing basis) -Is The Clone Wars movie included in the Season 1 set in some form? -No, neither the film nor it's 4 component episodes are included in the set. You'll need to purchase the standalone DVD of the movie to get it. -Are the episodes in chronological order? -No. The Clone Wars does eventually take a semi-anthology approach to storytelling, as well as rearranging episodes due to airing considerations. We've been told that the airing order is mostly correct, but that an official episode order will be forthcoming on starwars.com as we move further into Season 2. There are, however, 3 episodes we know to be out of order: "Downfall of a Droid" & "Duel of the Droids" are set after "The Clone Wars" movie but before the "Rising Malevolence" episode; and "The Hidden Enemy" is a prequel lead-in to "The Clone Wars" movie. Other episodes may have been shifted around ("Ambush" was originally meant to air after the Malevolence trilogy, but was pushed up to provide a longer series debut, and this placement has seemingly been adopted as it's official placement now) but are unconnected to other episodes and so shouldn't affect your viewing enjoyment. -Where does this series take place in relation to previous Clone Wars media? -The exact relationship between the new series has yet to be officially determined, as they are adjusting the Clone Wars timeline of events to accommodate this new series (and changes like Lucas deciding to have Anakin knighted earlier in the war than originally intended). An official revised timeline of events will be released down the road as TCW concludes production and they can look at the whole picture. We do have some indications to give us a rough concept of how they relate. Anakin is already knighted by time TCW starts and Obi-Wan and Ventress have implied past history, so the show is set after any stories featuring Anakin as a Padawan (this includes the first Volume of the 2D Clone Wars animated series, as well as several comics, novels and video games) and after most (if not all) past encounters between Obi-Wan and Ventress in the comics.

	I just got the DVD box set along with TFU: Ultimate Sith Edition for PS3. The art book included in it is very very beautiful. Lots of great concept images.

	A very nice set- the concept art in the middle was a great touch. The extended featurettes are nice so far (I've only watched the first 2- Dave recalling his debate with Lucas over Plo in space versus Grievous in space was hilarious!). Though I guess we don't get the exact commentary videos that were on SW.com, though a lot of the same subject matter is covered. Nice to have the Director's Cuts of these episodes- though I'm hard pressed to ID the differences in Shadow of Malevolence, unless it was Anakin and Ahsoka discussion in the cockpit. The aspect ratio is also a huge improvement- they look gorgeous in full widescreen (I think Garth posted a couple before and after examples in the earlier thread). -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Another good featurette moment where Henry is talking Han in ANh talking about needing a navicomputer so they don't "fly through a star or come out in the middle of a planet or something or come out and hit a planet.". Then Dave just quietly adds the correction of "...supernova." Dave earns another geek point -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Just a heads up. It appears that Best Buy does not have the Blu-Ray in stock yet. Checked in Orange, Riverside & LA Counties (California) as well as selected New York, Chicago & Florida stores and none show it available. The store manager here in Irvine, CA checked his computer as well and while they did have the DVD, he was very surprised that he couldn't find a store anywhere that had the Blu-Ray.

I actually got an email that said my order would be ready for pickup on Nov. 3rd. So, I went in there today and was told that they didn't get it and that it was a chain wide problem. Not only did none of the 6 stores in my city have it, but none of the stores in the country have it. They had the SD DVD on the shelf, but no Blu-Ray. I'm kind of mad right now. Where is everyone else finding these Blu-Ray sets at? If I didn't get such a good deal through Best Buy's website, I'd be half tempted to cancel my order and pick it up at Wal-Mart; however, I think it'll pay to be patient.

	I don't have an HDTV so no reason for me to get a Blu-Ray player yet. The DVD set is fine with me. Plus, it'll be easier to rip images from to use for banners -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	What's the soundtrack on the DVD? Is it both Dolby Digital and DTS or just DTS? Many people will want to get this set, but to tell them you can get it only if your equipment can decode DTS would be silly.

	Okay, I found an Easter Egg in the Jedi Temple Archives. I was on the page with the Ahsoka turntable art and I clicked the Jedi Logo (the design Obi-Wan and Anakin have on their shoulder armor) in the upper right hand corner, and I got a feature about the voices of the Clone Wars where Dave Filoni messes with the voice actor who plays Obi-Wan as he makes fun of Dave's writing (it was basically a blank page with a couple a dots). It's not hard to find, it's very clickable. You can access it from any part of the Jedi Archives interface. But I stumbled upon it while trying to get back to the main menu.

Yeah I think that's the only Easter Egg on Disc 1; I changed episode in the Temple and clicked on that button each time and it was the same video... hope there are more to be found.
