What's up with all of this animated Clone Wars stuff? What we saw in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith was sufficient. Why does it need expansion? What's the appeal?

Clone Wars (Genndy) started in 2003--9 years ago--and led directly into RotS, which came out in 2005. TCW (CGI) started four years ago and is heading into its fifth season in September.

I would say that TCW started as a kid-friendly show, but at this point it's usually not anymore. Seasons 2-4, generally speaking, are the sort of subject matter that the prequels should have been, rather than the schlock we ended up with."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

Besides, as I sai TCW has a great story and format. I actually reminds me of what my parents/grandparents told me of shows like "Flash Gordon" in it's original B&W serial format.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth

Given that it's a cartoon, I figured this much.
Some people, such as myself, lump all animation together as cartoons. It's not necessarily a maneuver.
Why do it then?
I've seen Anime that absolutley leaves live action movies in the dirt as far as storylines go. If you want to relegate it to "it's just a cartoon", go for it. Do I think people who do that do it are mostly silly because there "reasoning" is "it's a cartoon and cartoons are for kids" are missing out? Hell yeah.
Still, whatever floats your boat dude.
Define grow up. That's vague, and it doesn't really articulate how this series stands out.
If "Character A" of any series is the exact same as "Character A" from 4 years ago, then the character simply does not develop, and even if I like the archetype of the character, they simply will not leave the same kind of an impact a character that has learned and evolved will.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth
