Star Wars: The Clone Wars

These only drop annually and for a short time with the conclusion of each season it seems, so if you've been meaning to pick them up now is the time. Highly recommended series with season five being absolutely amazing and heartbreaking. Also recommend the movie whenever it's on sale as a prelude to the series.

whoa..thanks for the update! Been waiting a long time for the price to drop! S5 finale was amazing. Need to watch it more now that FIOS shows CN in HD!

[nightmare452]

Thanks op. was looking to get season 4 at some point at around this price. Ordered one. Now I just need to make time and plan a marathon of these four seasons I own. :/

[Navex]

I wanna watch this series but at this point I might as well wait until it concludes and get the eventual boxset or whatever bundle they come up with.

[Stele]

You'll be waiting for years since it's going on at least a 6th season.

[Burchamj]

season 2 is sold out

[ssjmichael]

season 2 is sold out

no it isn't

[Burchamj]

ohh got it. theres two versions. anyone know whats on the extra disc?

[flybrione]

Grabbing season 3 and 4. Thanks OP!

[argyle]

I keep waiting for these to go on sale and they never do, so I'm biting on all 4. I've only seen the movie that started the series & a handful of the season 1 episodes, but I have friends that rave about them so I feel confident based on what I've seen that I'll like it all.

[Vader582]

Thanks Jodou! Been waiting for Season 4 to drop.

Managed to get a price match at Target for season 4.

I'm only missing season 3;was going to price match it at Target but,they only have season 4 on blu.Would it be worth it to get season 3 on DVD for $18.with price match off Amazon or will it go lower?

[joshnorm]

I want the 2 seasons that I don't have. Was going to PM BBY but shocker they only had the DVD of Season 4. So hopefully this will stay up for a few days so I can get enough to buy them off Amazon or go to BBY and find copies to PM.

[bfett9]

If you wanna PM at BBY you can just do a phone order. I've done that before to use my credit when I did not have time to run out to the store and I was able to use my credit. Ships free too. I may be doing it this time around too just in case the price goes back up tomorrow.

[darthmalice777]

Thanks Jodou! Been waiting for Season 4 to drop.

This.

[LinkinPrime]

S3 and S4 arrived today, S3 had no slip...is this normal?

[ssjmichael]

S3 used to have a slip, but probably not anymore

[Commander0Zero]

yup been waiting on this for a while. Picked up season's 3 and 4.

[ITDEFX]

I am really wondering how far they are going to take the series... they are getting too close to Episode 3 in the time line now that the clones have changed into the armor seen in the 3rd movie.

[GreyFox787]

ohh got it. theres two versions. anyone know whats on the extra disc?

That was the Region B release (Europe, I believe)...nothing the U.S. release didn't have as far as I know, just spread over more discs. There were two releases for the U.S. version, the difference being that the initial release was in a digibook package and include several pages of artwork. S1 and S2 both had digibooks, but the current printing is now just a standard case without the artbook, like S3.

[themidnighter23]

sweet, can finally get season 4

[jrallen99]

Thanks OP. Grabbed the first 3 season. I have not seen any of them and they never do seem to go on sale.

[GreyFox787]

They really never do...I only wound up buying the first two seasons a while back because I was home visiting family and stopped by a local FYE, where they had both used for Buy 1 Get 1 50% off...both digibooks in pristine condition, too. I've seen season 3 for around this price before, but only once or twice; Amazon marketplace sellers generally have the best prices when these aren't on sale. Season 4, though...this is the first I've seen it on sale.

[chriscolbert]

I might just take the plunge and blind buy all four seasons. I've seen bits here and there but never gave it a chance. I didn't realize how highly regarded it was. My soon to be six year old son has seen more of it than I have and seemed to really like it.

It's a very uneven show: some episodes clearly pander to children in tone and humor while other episodes exhibit darker, maturer themes that appeal to adults. In other words, it's probably a good show to watch together with your son.

[bfett9]

So season 3 never had a Digibook correct?

[Jodou]

Correct. They changed the format to just a case and slip cover after season 2.

[Tybee]

I've been waiting for a sale like this. I've got seasons one and two, so added three and four. In terms of watching I'm only most of the way through season one, so got a lot of catching up to do!

[Richard Kain]

It's a very uneven show: some episodes clearly pander to children in tone and humor while other episodes exhibit darker, maturer themes that appeal to adults.

I've found this as well. There will be a story arc for a few episodes that seems quite juvenile, and is clearly targeted at a less sophisticated audience. Then there will be another multi-episode arc that deals with some fairly heavy themes, and often feature impressive writing and visuals.

I personally favor most of the story arcs that approach the story from the perspective of the clone troopers. The recent conclusion arc for the end of season 5 was also very satisfying. I adored the mid-season arc involving the criminal empire of Darth Maul.

There is definitely material in this series that is worth watching. Just be prepared to have to wade through kid-centric "filler." Having some youngsters around to watch it with would be a big advantage.
