The Clone Wars Premieres Tonight, Try Not to Explode in Joy
Yep. 9 p.m. EST on Cartoon Network. The Clone Wars cartoon. If you need help trying to think about the series in a positive light, remember that it was always intended as a TV series, so it’ll certainly be better paced and the animation will likely look better on the small screen. Also, you haven’t seen what’s on tonight?the first episode features Anakin and Ahsoka looking for survivors on a spaceship, and the second episode appears to be a Yoda solo joint, from which the above video clip is taken. So that’s all good. Of course, the battle droids still appear to have been programmed to be utterly retarded. Look, I’m just telling you it’s coming on tonight?don’t shoot the messenger.
