Animated Shorts The Micro Series & Genndy Tartakovsky appreciation thread

As someone who has wanted to watch this series for some time I have a few questions:

Is watching the show in 1 hour blocks (which is the way it is presented on Disney+) really ideal? I’ve never really been down with the whole binge watching thing and generally prefer to watch media in the way it was originally presented. Does this show watch better in as one or two long movies, or as a series of short segments? If the latter, is it available to watch in this format anywhere?

 

Watching it now.
I had seen bits that could be found on Youtube, but now I am seeing a whole lot of cool tight Prequel warfare.
I really like it's attitude. Just unashamedly pure warfare.

 

I remember watching the micro-series back when it premiered in 2002/03 and was like was that it, when the first episode ended.
Watching them all in one go is so much better.

 

Love the stompy ship that Mace fights.

.. and the rain on the lightsabers. Oh that's gorgeous.

 

I like it in single installments, it's basically 2 hour long movies that are a bit episodic but Clone Wars the show was like that .yah watched again in HD looked great (I do believe there's a single shot that isn't in HD, it's the first Ventress short and one of the monster closeup screaming shots at the start is suddenly cropped with widescreen). I totally forgot that James Cameron basically ripped off the big blue alien people from Part II (well he didn't but odd coincidence). What I didn't notice until now is that the final shot of Clone Wars 2D is literally a pan out into the battle of courscaunt that lines up with the first shot of Episode III, like exactly.

 

Watching that final pursuit of the Emperor with Grievous and his droids vs the Jedi, and my word it's glorious.



And they really went for that Skywalker armpit hair at the end...

 

New episodes of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal are now on HBOmax, and also Adult Swim. If you haven't watched the series yet, I highly recommend you do. It's pretty darned good.

 

I always will love Ventress first introduction with Dooku watching her

 

The real Clone Wars it fits better between the story of the prequels.

Same in-fact i would argue she was better in the micro series.

 

No flaming -TtJ

 

Not sure how that was flaming

 

The misspellings weren't intentional and I wasn't trolling. I just thought it was a bad show. I should've gone into more detail on why ie lucas jumping on to the latest fad.

 

i just wanted to add that it was originally also released as two separate DVDs, so this is the way lots of people saw it for the first time.

I don’t have D+, but I assume that the two 1-hour blocks correspond to how it was presented on those original DVDs.

 

There was nothing quite like watching these when they originally aired. I can't remember how much I caught live of Volume 1 in 2003, but the five episodes of Volume 2 were appointment viewing, just a couple months before ROTS hit theaters.

 

just been watching vol 1 and 2 and just think the battle scenes are epic.. i mean jousting is just sw at its best!!
I've started a thread on the saga page about how best to encorporate the micro series into a saga rewatching. esp after bad batch release. There is so much material in the clone wars /order 66 era... please give your ideas.. i think you could go ep2.. vol 1..the clone wars.. vol 2..ep3..clone wars series 7..bad batch.. what do you guys think? Just too good to miss out

 

I remember in 2003 and 2005 being a kid watching this show you just wanted the episodes were more longer i had not knowledge about the EU back then so this show was the only way to know what Anakin and Obi Wan were doing during the Clone Wars also never knew Anakin was Vader

 

I am glad it’s in volumes and not by episode on Disney Plus

 

Grievous and Durge are the stars of the show i love 2003 version of Ventress i like the Dark Horse comics because its like a continuation of the 2003 show

 

star wars jousting rules!!
i hope that it now appearing on Disney + means it's partially being accepted into a Canon of sorts
the battle of christophosis is duplicated after all, although no Ashoka
have been trying to find a way of watching it or at least parts in a time line watch through.. its too good to leave out
