At last it is finally here to those who have so patiently waited, part two of my Star Wars: The Clone wars blog has arrived! Last time I talked about what I personally liked about the show, but now it is time to get down to business and discuss what exactly The Clone Wars improved upon. One element from the prequels that the show redeemed was the characters.
A prime example would be Anakin Skywalker, who is later know as the infamous Darth Vader. In the original trilogy he was described to be skilled warrior, a great friend, and a hero who fell from grace and succumbed to evil. What we were shown in the prequels did not add up to what was implied beforehand. His evolution as a character went from an annoying little kid, to a teenager who gave off the vibe of a creepy stalker, and finally to an adult who gets frustrated because he does not get what he wants.
In more ways than one The Clone Wars redeemed Anakin’s character. It showed the aspects of his character that were never really flushed out during the prequels. Throughout the show we see him valiantly charge into battle, develop cunning strategies, and protecting the innocent. While also showing how conflicted he was at his core. Which makes his fall to the dark side even more tragic.
