The Circle is Complete

At last my Star Wars DVD collection is complete, my Star Wars DVD shelf whole after 4 years of waiting and compiling. Huzzah. Star Wars Clone Wars Volume 2 is awesome, essential SW: the show was good back in March when we were getting squirrely for Episode III, but the 5.1 sound mix on the DVD makes it excellent as the SW sound effects surround you as you enjoy the all out Cartoon Network SW lovefest. Those guys went nuts, honoring the original movies while adding to the prequel series, and it shows in every sequence,;and better yet it contributes significantly to SW canon: Anakin gets Jedi Knighted, gets jiggy with Padme to concieve Luke and Leia (tastefully done- and not another emmaculate conception thank God), has his vision of Darth Vader in a cave, and best of all it clearly underlines the friendship of Obi Wan and Anakin described by Alec Guiness in IV and VI, the friendship destroyed at the end of III. It is all good, and if you are a true SW fan, you're Star Wars DVD collection will be incomplete without it (and Volume 1 of course).
