In season 2 of the Star Wars animated TV show, Clone Wars, we see much the same pattern as its predecessor, reviewed here. Same time frame (between Episodes II and III), same backdrop (the Clone Wars, duh), much of the same characters. Like season 1, the plots from one episode to the next are not necessarily linear, so you can pick and choose if you like (can be nice, but makes me question the relevance of the stories).
The minor changes in season 2 are as follows:
- fewer episodes feature Ahsoka Tano, Anakin's padawan
- more episodes have Mace Windu
- we see more bounty hunters (Aurra Sing, Bossk, a young Boba Fett, plus newcomers like Embo)
While I gave season 1 a C+, season 2 improved just a bit. It's hard to quantify the differences (other than the above statements)- it just felt a bit more polished, like the show is starting to hit its stride. I must admit, though, my feelings could be influenced by personal preference for the subject matter- love those bounty hunters.
Rating: B-
