We all know the story of a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The question is, is this new Star Wars the Clone Wars series the same? I personally enjoy the series, but does it really follow all that George Lucas created? The first six episodes of Star Wars (The Phantom Menace, e.t.c) were well thought out and very in depth. I'm not saying that Star Wars the Clone Wars isn't well thought out, but it's less serious than it's former movies. This change could be for the better, or it could be for the worse. Either way, Star Wars is changing. I will keep this blog updated.
