The first two episodes are pretty cool. whistling

Watched them with my son (6) lats night. First episode is all Yoda and clonetroopers, and is a nice break from Anakin and Ahsoka after the movie.

Still can't get used to the mangled attempt at Tem Morrison's voice though. It's atrocious. Like and american trying to do an Australian accent. Poorly. Gah.

Anyone know when they shows are going to be broadcast in NZ?

How does Clone Wars get on my television?? thinking

First two episodes, brilliant. applause Exceeded my expectations and rekindled my eldest son's interst in SW again (besides Lego SW video games).

Rocking animation. Hope Ventress shows us her "stuff" some more and doesn't end up just being Dooku's patsy...

Does anyone know when it is put on DVD?

Channel 10 over here is meant to be playing to series soon, have to keep track of when they will show it

if it is like any other decent progrmamme it will be late at night when nobody is awake to watch it so they can justify putting more australian content on at prime time, pity most of it is crap, i am not sure how much australian idol and you think you can dance i can take

and let not talk about the crappy police drama they have on, there are so many of them and they are crap

There's 22 episodes in the first season ... so, realistically, I wouldn't imagine that it wouldn't be out on DVD until the season finishes. Which would be early next year.

We don't have Sky, and I have *no* idea if it'll screen on free-to-air in New Zealand. The response to the film seemed really lacklustre here, so I wonder how much general interest there'd be. I feel OK about bittorrenting it, and then buying the DVD when it gets released locally. I am sick of so many NZ TV channels running TV series six months to a year behind their US release times. My currently favourite show, "Battlestar Galactica", is about six months behind the US. And the third season of "Heroes" has already started in the US and there's no sign of it here.

That's the way of the world though, I'm sure USA doesn't have all 3 seasons of Outrageous Fortune... or Australia for that matter.

It takes time for the sale boats to circumnavigate the globe with the TV reels don't ya know tongue

Each episode seems to exceed my expectations.

Chapter 9 Cloak of Darkness is my fave so far. Good to see Ventress finally strutting her stuff.

Makes you wonder if she would have given Mr. Maul a run for his money.

I've watched the first 8 or so episodes. Thus far, I like everything about it, aside from the facial animation style, which looks too blocky IMO. But the backdrops and dogfights are very good.

Blocky faces, yes. But if you look closer at the facial detail it actually looks like the characters have been painted. Some of the backdrops also look like they've been painted as well.

IMO the animation team have done a bang up job. Esp like the way the dogfights and space battle scenes have thge whole shaky camera thing going on. Very similar to the way the new BSG space scenes are shot.

EP10: Lair of Grevious. Kit Fisto vs Grevious cool

Cool, nice to see it finally show up here.

I see K-Mart have Clone Wars cartoon themed back to school stationary - pens, library bags, pencil cases/tins etc.
