It’s so cool that we actually have a Toonami bumper from 2003 for the Clone Wars micro series. Love how they remixed the Imperial March just for this commercial too. So nostalgic thinking about watching this series after coming home from school.

And narration by Optimus Prime

Genuinely crazy that this ISNT the Clone Wars series gen z is nostalgic for. This is the best non-movie Star Wars thing ever made. It shouldve lasted longer

@QuetzalPhoenix I was always glad to see that Optimus Prime got some voiceover work while his show was on hiatus.

Toonami was the master of hyping up its shows. Helped they had a lot of good series in their lineup, but the way they edit and compose their promo commercials makes everyone else look like amateurs at marketing.

Having Optimus Prime explain Star Wars lore goes really hard

Good god it’s glorious

Peter Cullen the goat

Anakin with tattoos is so cool

THIS is what happens when you let a competent director and artists touch Star Wars.

Peter Cullen narrating?

Back when Star Wars was for the boys, not the girls and gays.

Awesome series. Genny always delivers awesome action and no bloat. I've tried the CGI Clone Wars a few times and bounced off. The art style is terribly ugly and the show just feels so meandering

Star Wars was never better than this after this and episode 3. It was all downhill post 2005

The Real clone wars

And then Dave Filonis ret-conned it so hard he basically deleted it

Narrated by Optimus Prime himself

It holds up. Just watch it all like a 2 hour movie.

I hear petter Cullen or Optimus Prime

Huh, another piece of media where Peter Cullen does some narration nice.

His that notation by OPTIMUS PRIME is still something thatcher’s hard Peter Cullen is a treasure to the world

Peak Toonami

I’ve been on a huge 03 clone wars kick recently and have been going through a lot of it! So much good content around it!

"...only on Toonami" Man that brought me back to 2 decades ago!

is that Peter Cullen announcing this?

Glad ally of the Jedi Autobot Optimus Prime getting me caught up on the events of the clone war

reminder that this series is the canonical lucas coverage of the clone wars. yes it was rushed, so it could come out before episode 3, but this was there to give us the abridged version of what happened. 3d was meant to expand on details, but lost it's way and failed.

the imperial march remix was made in like 2000 iirc, not for this show, it was from a game called Star Wars Force Commander.

@jcburcham This series was singlehandedly saving SW fans between Episodes 2 and 3

@thatsgoodtoast

Narrated by Optimus Prime!

This show was so fucking peak.

シリーズ通しても最高の作品だと思うが これが正史とみなされないというのもよくわかる つらい

Optimus Prime!
