Star Wars Clone Wars - Season 1-5

If you've never seen Star Wars: The Clone Wars, there is never a better time to start. One of the primary concerns I had when placing this order was, "how badly damaged will the box housing the DVDs be?". A normally common problem primarily inflicting the corners of the box, I was happy when I saw there was bubble wrap in the box next to my set. The corners sustained minimal damage (only noticeable if you are actively searching for it). This product was well packaged.As for the quality of disks:I encountered no issues playing back any of the disks.All of the disks are, as described, HD (Blu-ray) quality video and flawless quality sound.Seasons 1-4 have 3 disks each, while season 5 has 2 disks (season 5 has fewer episodes than the others). I thought it would be annoying having to swap the disks out to continue playing one of the seasons, but it wasn't. Each disk has about 2 to 2.5 hours of episodes on them, so if you binge-watch a whole disk, it is as if you watched an entire movie.Inside each DVD case for a season, there is a list of episodes, by disk number, as well as a brief description of that episode. If you stop a disk and can't remember the number episode you were on, the descriptions have been sufficient for me to determine where I stopped. Very helpful indeed! The list of episodes is securely fastened between two layers of plastic, so it is protected and cannot move around. The only con to this is that you have to remove disks 1 and 3 to read them on either side, and the design that holds the disks in place does block some of the text, making it harder to read. It has not been a serious problem for me, however, and is not so bad as to warrant dropping this to 4 stars.For those who are unfamiliar to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series (you have been missing out!), it is a TV series consisting of 6 seasons. Seasons 1-5 are included in this set, but season six must be purchased independently. Amazon has some DVD / Blu-ray sets available, and it is available digitally as well. If you like what you see here, I would suggest purchasing it.The series itself takes place between episodes 2 and 3 of the official Star Wars films. Many would agree with me that these episodes are actually better than the films themselves, but you can decide that. The series hosts several major characters, including 2 high-ranking clones, and several recurring minor characters, again including clones. If you want to see jedi, clone, and even droid adventures, this series has it waiting for you! Because there is around 40 hours (including season 6) of episodes taking place at around the same time period, each major and minor character has a very well built character. The clones have memorable personalities. Even the battledroids make comical remarks; they are not just limited to "roger, roger" in this series.Overall, this is something for everybody. Rated PG, this series is aimed at a younger audience, but mature audiences will find just as much fun in watching these well-made episodes. Grab a seat, crack a soda, cook some popcorn, and prepare yourself for a whole new Star Wars adventure in Star Wars: The Clone Wars!

It took me a long time to give this show a chance. I'm glad I did.By Star Wars standards, the movie was not very good. Yes, it was basically just four early episodes of the show---its first proper story arc---strung back to back. But it's one of the weakest, dumbest story arcs in the whole series, and the characters hadn't quite gelled yet.On top of that, I detested the show's look. Didn't like the character designs, didn't like how they moved. It's just not a style of animation I'm naturally drawn to.But I'm glad I got over it. The stories are great, and you come to love the characters and care about their relationships. They expand and enrich the Star Wars canon in profound and meaningful ways. The show's fun, funny, sweet, heartbreaking, and often startlingly dark. A few moments in the Darth Maul arc are utterly terrifying in the best way. His arc, the Nightsisters arc, and the Zillo Beast arc are among my favorites.The animation has grown on me, no doubt helped along by all of the above-listed virtues. In the case of some characters, particularly those we haven't yet seen (or have only seen minimally) in their flesh-and-blood forms, the style works brilliantly. The landscapes, cityscapes, creatures, and space action often look breathtaking. And the animation does, I think, become surer of itself as the series progresses.Minuses include occasionally clunky dialogue and a "camera" that sometimes seems overly fascinated by the midsection and/or thighs of anyone female and remotely humanoid. For those reasons, plus the odd sub-par episode, I'd give the show 4.5 if I could. I'd give the same score to this Blu-ray collection; while the picture and sound quality are generally great, there's the occasional digital weirdness---but far from bad or frequent enough to dissuade you.If you're looking for Season 6, it's available separately as "The Lost Missions" and includes some of the best episodes in the series' entire run.

How could i be so stupid and missed watching this show? It is soooooooooooooooo good. When the series came out on tv, i was like meh because it wasn't that appealing because of the prequels. Then recently, i saw it on a popular streaming service and decided to give a shot. It gives a lot of background to the clone wars and its not just focused on Anakin, but the republic in general. The clone troopers are awesome and i like their one liners.For example, Obi Wan told Capt. Rex to take 2 of his men to go scout. Rex tells 2 clones to come with him, and one clone said, i guess that means we're the best. I just cracked up laughing when i heard that.Then they bring Darth Maul back in the series which made it really interesting. However, you do have to see Jar Jar binks at times and he can still be pretty annoying. Luckily he's not in the majority of the episodes. I also recommend getting the Lost Missions because it's pretty much considered season 6 and it fills in the background on how order 66 was executed. It also shows Yoda seeking out Qui Gon to commune with him. After watching this series, it makes the prequels a little bit more enjoyable to watch. Also, if you haven't checked out Star Wars Rebels, i highly recommend watching that also because some of the characters carry over to that series and Rebels is pretty awesome. If you are wondering why i bought the series even though i just streamed it, It's because i travel a lot and i don't always have internet. Ever since i finished watching the show, i've been craving to watch it again. Trust me, its worth having in your collection.

I have the collectors edition DVD box set, but I wanted to watch the Blu-ray versions and to own them myself. This is the best option in my opinion because each season comes in their own box. Very nice

Excellente qualité de ce coffret Blu-Ray :1) La qualité d'affichage est vraiment géniale et les episodes sont très beaux dans cette qualité blu-ray.Certains épisodes sont en version director's cut c'est à dire avec quelques minutes supplémentaires.2) Les bonus sont très généreux et de bonne qualité : 10 minutes de commentaires d'interview de Dave Filoni sur la conception de CHAQUE épisode; des artworks en 2D et animés en 3D pour CHAQUE épisode.3) Le coffret en lui même est très soigné , que ce soit l'aspect exterieur et intérieur, le guide des épisodes, l'artbook et même les boîtes blu ray très robustes et soignées . + la discographie jolie.Un excellent achat à recommander pour le prix, surtout compte tenu de ses bonus en plus des épisodes, épisodes qui bien sûr sont très plaisants et cools à regarder.

Se non avete il problema di volere a tutti i costi l'audio italiano, prendere questo cofanetto è il modo meno dispendioso per avere The Clone Wars in originale e in Blu-Ray. In italiano esiste solo la versione in DVD e la versione inglese Blu-Ray (questo stesso cofanetto) costa circa 55 euro.In più contiene un libretto molto carino e ben fatto. Consigliato.

Pedí este pack blu-ray para mis hijos de 8 años. El pack que recibí NO viene en castellano y las opciones tanto audio como subtítulos son: inglés, danés, holandés, francés, noruego y sueco.Hay 5 temporadas y cada una trae 3 discos. Hay 22 episodios en cada temporada salvo la 5ª que trae sólo 20 episodios. Cada episodio dura unos 20 minutos. También trae cada temporada varias extras. La calidad visual es muy buena (colores más vivos y alta definición) y se nota la diferencia entre DVD y Blu-ray. Viene con la clasificación de "PG" que es control parental para niños pequeños porque siempre hay el riesgo que puedan tener miedo. ¡En mi caso, todo un éxito y los niños encantados!

The only downside is that Star Wars wasn't released in chronological order
