The 2D clone wars cartoon was THE best!
PREACH! PREACH! One thing...maybe a picky thing. The lightsabers. Within TCW universe they seem to be consistent, but not all are exactly like the movies. Mace Windu’s saber is the most obviously different. Unless there’s something in the books, games, or comics, which states his saber changed, or was a work in progress. This change is good for the saber makers. It really does look more like the US hilt, except for the emitter. It is a much longer hilt than the movies, but looks quite different proportionately.
On that score, the picky score...back when I was working on the comics, the prequel trilogy wasn’t finished, episode 1 hadn’t even hit the theaters when I worked on the first series. So granted, the creators were not altogether familiar with the sabers. And even when reference was given, some artists would make mistakes, giving the character the wrong saber, or getting the details wrong. In which case, the editor would be faxing me the correct photos and I would redraw the saber to make sure it was correct.
This type of attention to detail and continuity was something which deepened my appreciation of Star Wars. But if they’re just going to allow folks to take those liberties, it kinda says things have gotten too big and they’ve lost control. Unfortunately, it is an inherent flaw in big corporate entities to feel such things are not cost effective. If there’s another explanation here, please let me know.
Looks accurate to me.  |

Interesting. That was one of the things that I loved about TCW. The sabers where accurate. Maybe I missed something though (highly possible). |

To me, it looked like the movie saber was a short, almost one handed. Fat grip section and very skinny tapered pommel. TCW version retains all the elements but is much thinner and longer in the grip section, widening from the halfway point up to the emitter. I’ve seen replicas proportioned like that and now I at least know what inspired them  |

Probably. It certainly looks easier to wield. The grips on the movie version stick out so far they look like they were designed more for style than functionality.

A few episodes into season 2 at present. Kind of liking the Cad Bane character. He’s tricky and at least skilled enough to present a challenge—in spite of the floppy hat |

And one of my favorite bounty hunters.  |

Ooh, you're just getting started with Mister Bane. One of the stand out characters from the show for sure. And one of my favorite bounty hunters. Kidnapping the young kings for experimentation seemed to be a more devious, mature plot than much of the first season as well. I was pretty pretty surprised and pleased with that episode. I think the fights are looking a bit more interesting so far as well. Anti-gravity battle was fairly original. |

He’s tricky and at least skilled enough to present a challenge—in spite of the floppy hat Bane was one of the few delights I took in watching. Also, there is a reddit post that some delightful nerd worked out, that lists ALL the episode + movie in chronological order. I found it to be much more enjoyable. |

Bookmarked the link for future reference...thanks, DL.
My previous post about Mace Windu’s saber being a bit different from the movie definitely seems to be the animators choice. In the 4th episode of season 2, there’s a shot of Mace holding his saber and it’s spot on accurate with the grips sticking out far like the movie. And the next scene where he is sitting in his chair in the Jedi council chamber, the grips look relatively flat on the hilt. And I can see those tall grips really being a pain to get right from every angle.

I know Starwars.com released an official chronological order for all episodes as well.
