The show originally came out on Cartoon Network, and no matter what examples one can put forth, the primary and dominant market of that network is young kids and teenagers.
Compare the Original Movies, the Prequel Movies, the cartoon CW and the animated TCW. The former three can be watched by child and yet the adult can found something for them in it. Each screen of Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars had strenght, not just filler to go up to 20 min.
Adults watching can understand the bigger picture of the narratives, and big time Star Wars fans can enjoy the fan service the show provided. In that way it was a success.
Are you kidding ?
Big picture with battle of no more than 50 participants, Ashoka seeking her lightsaber, Gungan diplomacy, zombies, Godzilla-like, Obi-Wan faking his death or Dooku and ANakin tied together by a band of pirates ?
Mandalorian pacifists is no fan service, it's fan insult... And so on with Vos, Ventress, Barriss, Aura Sing, the Night sisters,...
there was very little interest in Star Wars as a result.
Sure if we live in a world where you need a movie every year (even if the quality suffers from that) to people have interest in something
Ahah I noticed I got a -2 today for telling my view of TCW, I feel some get butthurt by a reality check on it
