An Excellent but Bittersweet Send-Off
Season Six of The Clone Wars is a great addendum to what was/is a fabulous television series!Katie Lucas makes her glorious return in the first arc, which I consider to be the best of the season. It's a very personal and exhilarating story about one of the characters without a set future (a common tension killer in show that serves as a prequel) which keeps the tension and the stakes high.The Clovis arc is a holdover from Season Five but fits just as well here. It's really fascinating to take a look at Anakin and Padme's relationship in a more intricate way than we've seen in the past.The Jar Jar arc is a lot of fun (once you get past the Gungan-speak) and contains some of the most beautiful animation in the entire series. The Bardottan culture is definitely one to remember and the duology will remind you why you want to read Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir afterwards (NO Maul appearance; just watch).The Syfo-Dias arc that concludes this half-season of episodes is heralded as the best of the series. I still believe the opening arc of this season and the Ahsoka arc that closed out the show's run on Cartoon Network have this one beat but this arc is in no way overrated. It answers questions about the saga, overall, and a contains quite a few excellent, chill-inducing moments.It may only be half as long as the other seasons but the stories are still fantastic additions. The fact that Disney was willing to spare some of their newly acquired MVPs to stay and work on these last several arcs truly is a testament to their dedication to the fans and their intention to keep making great Star Wars. So check this out and continue right on to Star Wars Rebels!(I will update this review once I have seen the story reels for the unfinished arc in the special features.)

Some of the Best Stories of the Series!
These final 13 episodes of "The Clone Wars" are among the best, examining the nature of the Force, the ability of Clone Troopers to resist the programing of Order 66, and even making Jar-Jar likeable. The animation and worlds are simply gorgeous, befitting the infinite possibilities offered by the "Star Wars" Universe. The voice work continues to maintain the highest quality, with Mark Hamill making a guest appearance as the voice of Darth Bane. As much as I love Tim Curry, his voice work as Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious distracts from much of the story since it's so obviously his voice compared to Ian Abercrombie, who voiced the character in earlier seasons and did a better job imitating Ian McDiarmid's performance. As amazing as the stories in this season are, they feel like a bit of an afterthought since most of the series previously focused on Ahsoka Tano and her place in the Jedi Order. Once the writers wrote her out at the end of season 5, the series was more-or-less wrapped-up with the characters able to move on to the events of "Revenge of the Sith." Finally, there is no true conclusion and several stories were left unfinished when the series was cancelled. Some, like "Crystal Crisis on Utapau," are available on the Star Wars website as unfinished story reels. Another, "Son of Dathomir," appeared in a Dark Horse Comic, and Christie Golden adapted "Dark Disciple" as a novel. The making-of documentary included with this set offers a nice coda and shows fans how the creativity employed in making "Clone Wars" led to "Star Wars Rebels."

The Clone Wars are Awesome!
The Lost Missions are fantastic!! My hats off to Dave Filoni and his amazing crew!! This completes my Clone Wars collection. Even though this awesome group is creating Star Wars Rebels, my Star Wars cartoon collecting days are over. I gave Star Wars Rebels a look when Disney was showing the first episode on ABC, and I was very disappointed. The Star Wars Spirit is gone, and it has been replaced with Disney's corny formula. The animation is soft and "childish", and I'm not putting kids down, I mean that the animation is playing down to the viewer in particular kids I suspect. The fight scenes are like something out of a silly sitcom. The plot lines have very little depth. I wouldn't wast a dime on Star Wars Rebels. A fine franchise has been hi-jacked and ruined by a gigantic corporation. It's sad but I guess all good things must come to an end. Having said all of that, The Clone Wars did nothing but deepen and become more and more interesting every season. The animation truly progressed in the most artful style. The stories are extremely interesting and edgy, and they did an excellent job at balancing that between little kids and adults. There was a moral and a message to every story. Something to be learned or pondered with every episode. In other words it was really Star Wars!! I don't know if Disney will ruin the movies but I think that I'm done collecting Star Wars now that it is no longer George Lucas'. Everything before the Disney take over I will always like, The Clone Wars is awesome!! Lucas' animation crew is awesome!! Disney stinks!!

Another excellent season of a terrific show.
The sixth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an absolute blast to watch, and any star wars fan owes it to themselves to experience it; without a doubt the Blu-Ray release is the best possible way to do so. the picture quality is spot on and vibrant. each episode is presented in its correct aspect ratio with letter boxing to accommodate this (unlike the Netflix copy which crops the frame into 16:9) . the bit rate is also a lot higher than the digital releases with no visual anomalies or artifacts present, leaving a very crisp image. the same is not true for the audio however, unlike the season three, four and five Blu-Ray releases there is no DTS-HD Master Audio lossless 5.1 track, instead we have a 640 Kbps Dolby digital 5.1 track, which is still a great listen but a noticeable downgrade from previous releases.Overall this is an excellent package and well worth a purchase, I now eagerly await season 7's Blu-Ray release (hopefully that will be released at retail in the UK)
