xp: yes. They are way better than the prequels, although the Truman Capote gay Hutt character is on a par with Jar Jar for me.

The 2d animated shorts by Genndy Tartakovsky, also called Clone Wars, has more thrill power in 20 3-minute segments than George Lucas managed in all of the prequels.
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 13 February 2012 16:35 (twelve years ago) link
I've seen some of the Clone Wars series thanks to a friend's kid and yeah, they are really well done. Lucas NOT getting directly involved beyond the basics was probably key. I think by now there's been more hours of them all told than the original six movies.

Yeah it was all this mini-episode stuff in the run up to the third movie. And as Andrew sez, it's great.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 13 February 2012 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
I admit I was kind of shocked that a recent episode of Clone Wars I saw featured a squad of clones arguing over whether they should hand over a prisoner or execute him vigilante-style. Not quite what I expected from a Cartoon Network show, but entertaining to watch.

Love how there's no iconic, pop-culture touchstone voice for Darth Maul for them to do an impression of so they just kind of fuck around improvising for thirty seconds...more dialogue than he had in the whole film, yes?
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 30 March 2012 23:21 (twelve years ago) link
great commercial

very humourous take on the iconic darth maul character we all love to hate

grrrr... he's so evil!
does make it kinda fun to see him get his, though
disappointed that Lucas is allowing these sacred totems to be exploited by opportunist companies

Pretty sure when I saw this back in 1994 my reaction was "Whoa, a new Star W...wait, what the hell?"

Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi is a Lucasarts fighting game released in 1997 and set in the fictional universe of Star Wars. "Teräs Käsi" refers to a martial art used in the game; and, while being in grammatically incorrect form, is Finnish for "steel hand".

― Øystein, Monday, 9 April 2012 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
Haha, this is indeed true! When Kingfish posted the Youtube link I thought it was some Finnish parody because of the name, but apparently it's the real thing!
The correct way to write "steel hand" would be "teräskäsi", btw, since it's a compound word in Finnish.

I wonder where the heck they got the idea to name it in Finnish?
― Tuomas, Friday, 13 April 2012 13:32 (twelve years ago) link
cos it looks like something spoken by aliens
― Number None, Friday, 13 April 2012 13:35 (twelve years ago) link
IIRC, there's some old American sci-fi movie where the "alien" tongue spoken by aliens is actually Finnish! They say something like "Sibelius makes excellent music" in Finnish.
― Tuomas, Friday, 13 April 2012 13:37 (twelve years ago) link
Tolkien's Elvish was based on Finnish too wasn't it?
― Number None, Friday, 13 April 2012 13:38 (twelve years ago) link
Partly, I think, though it doesn't have any same words or anything.
