Poll Star Wars: The Clone Wars - 2003 vs 2008 (18 votes)
Yeah, a lot of people dislike the Star Wars prequels, but some things came out of them that fans ARE willing to defend more so than the films themselves. A couple of those things involve two different shows under the same event: The Clone Wars.
2003-2005 series - A 2D animated series of minisodes lasting only two seasons by Samurai Jack creator, Genndy Tartakovsky. Like Samurai Jack, the series relied on more silent storytelling, but had a lot of action.
2008-2014 series - A 3D animated series directed by Dave Filoni. Although the pilot film before it received negative reviews (more so than Episode I-III), the show itself had more positive reception. There's a lot more dialogue in this one in contrast to the previous one, but there was still plenty of action. Although the series aired on CN first, the final episodes were released on Netflix before the "Rebels" follow up series made it's debut on Disney XD.
So, which do you pick? I like both, but I'm more willing to go for the 2008 series myself, mostly due to having more of a story than the previous series, while the '03 series had way too much action. Although I'd give Tartakovsky's series an edge on animation looking back.
