Volume 2 of the stylish animated "microseries" Star Wars: Clone
Wars picks up where volume 1 ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006Z2LMO/${0}
) left off, with General Grievous threatening a group of Jedi.
The war between the Republic and the Separatists continues to
rage, and due to desperate need, Anakin Skywalker is bestowed the
title of Jedi Knight, though he must undergo one final rite of
passage by traveling to the frozen planet of Nelvan. The action
is at its fiercest when the Separatists launch an overwhelming
assault on Coruscant, and Masters Windu and Yoda get to show
their stuff to defend the city. However, it's just a diversion
from the main goal: Grievious's attempt to kip Supreme
Chancellor Palpatine. In the series' most dramatic moment, Shaak
Ti and other Jedi try to fend off the droid's attack. Clone Wars
Volume 2 aired on the Cartoon Network in March 2005, and it's a
bit more substantial than volume 1, taking place in five
12-minute chapters (nos. 21-25) rather than 3-minute chapters.
And while volume 1 was mostly flat-out action, the developments
in volume 2 lead directly to the opening of Episode III, Revenge
of the Sith ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JLXH/${0} ). And you even
get small tidbits such as C-3PO (again voiced by Anthony Daniels)
unveiling his new gold look, Padme sporting a cinnamon-bun
hairdo, and the reason why General Grievous has difficulty
breathing. Let casual fans content themselves with the feature
films; Clone Wars remains essential viewing for the Star Wars
aficionado. (Rated Y7 for cartoon action and violence) --David

DVD features
In both a commentary track and a featurette, Genndy Tartakovsky
and his creative team discuss the making of Clone Wars and how it
ties into Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. If you're not a fan
of the Lego Star Wars, you might become one after you watch the
amusing "Revenge of the Brick" trailer. There's also the same
Xbox demo of Battlefront II that was on the Sith DVD, and the
Dolby 5.1 sound is an improvement over volume 1's 2.0 Surround.
