Genndy Tartakovsky's "Clone Wars"

[BoredShipCapt'n]

Had a specific question about this...

Does it seem to anyone else that C-3PO's first scene with dialogue in Tartakovsky's "Clone Wars" ("A slight detour?...") was not voiced by Anthony Daniels?

All the other scenes clearly were Daniels, but the voice in that scene sounds like a very poor imitation.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Not really. It sounded like him to me.

 

[BoredShipCapt'n]

I think it was the way he said the word "actually." Not Daniels-like at all, almost like an American.

I thought Anthony Daniels has been involved from start to finish throughout both of the Clone Wars animated series over the course of the past decade (also the big screen animated film)? As far as I was aware, he was a part of the Tartakovsky microseries from Threepio's first appearance to the last.

But I could be wrong. It always sounded like Anthony to me, however.

I wouldn't mind seeing these again. I wish it was easier to get a legit copy though.

YouTube posts the entire microseries, or at least it did when I spotted it on a menu about a week back. It appeared to be every chapter from 2003-05 bundled into one long video. It seemed to be the real deal as originally aired on Cartoon Network and that's legit enough for me.

If YouTube of all places doesn't feel like pulling it then it must be okay.

These aren't available anymore? Makes me glad I got my copies when I did.

ETA: Wow. I went to Amazon and saw what they were going for new (Vol 1-- $32 and Vol 2- $49.95).

However, if you don't mind going used, Volume one is going for very cheap. "Good" and "Like New" for less than $2+ $3.99 s&h.

Volume two is going for less than $4+$3,99 s&h.

Glad I got mine when they came out. And I thought that series was brill.

 

[Mr Light]

I loved that series so much! Even if it completely demolishes the level of realism

Mace Windu was such a profound badass in the Tartakovsky series.

I edited both volumes together on a single DVD to watch it as a complete prequel.

Maybe Tony was just out of practice and wasn't quite himself on his first few lines... Here's the direct link to the scene in question:

Not only does the voice sound different to me, but also the way it's processed.

I'd say I enjoyed the series overall quite a bit.

Certain episodes are exceptional, such as Ventress's first two episodes (chapters 6 & 7) and the Ilum arc (chapters 14-16).

The episodes with Mace Windu vs. a huge formation of ground droids and the giant stomping machine are a hoot (chapters 12 & 13).

Higher pitch. But the same VA.
