Sorry for being dense, but how many Clone Wars movies are there, I thought just one (not including episode 2 of course)

What they did was take the first 3 episodes of the Clone Wars cartoon and released them as a movie before they premiered the series on Cartoon Network

I see now!  Thanks Kenny, heading out to get the DVDs!

Thinking about watching this show finally...never really been into EU Star Wars but going to give it a shot.  Where does the Clone Wars animated movie fit in, do I watch that first?

edit to add:  what about the shorts, where do they fit in and should I watch those first?

Clone Wars isn't part of the EU.. it's actually from George and is cannon to the Star Wars movies.

This series takes place between episode 2 and 3.

Now sure what shorts your talking about... unless you mean the other clone wars mini episodes.. those have nothing to do with this Clone Wars.

I'd start with the Clone Wars movies and then jump into Season 1
Not to pick nits, but Clone wars isn't a part of the movie canon, it's T -Canon. It's above the books, but below the movies in terms of precedence. It's also a multi-level pain in the butt if you ash me, but here it is for some reading:

yes you are correct .. but it's easier to explain that this is from George himself then to try and explain all the different level of canon in Star Wars. I see the movies and the current Clone Wars movies one in the same. They all come from the mind of George Lucas.

idk why we even had to have multiple levels.  Here, let's just do it this way:

GL's Cannon.
Everyone else's cannon. 

Dunno why we needed 5 (or more) levels.  But then again, this is how I view all content.  Just the difference of whether it was the originator's cannon or not.

Yeah, I tend to view the Clone Wars as part of the film story as it is being guided by GL.

I always view everything as a part of the same cannonicity (is that a word) And if anything contradicts something else, put it down to the stories retelling and incorrect eye witness accounts. If you asked witnesses about the events from a war 20 years previous, you would have very differing accounts. I always put contradictions down to incorrect witness accounts. This way, the first Clone wars cartoons still have a footing for telling a story from the same universe...

The Clone Wars Darth Maul ALMOST revealed! Great image gallery over on the ForceCast.net. Jimmy Mac visited Skywalker Ranch and in an interview with Ray Park, you can see images of the animated Maul in the background. Nothing below the waist, though...

The last couple of episodes have been epic.  Man, great stuff!

I have been and always will be, your friend.

OK, lest anyone think I am too fan boyish in my usual universal praise for this show, I will say that although I enjoyed this weeks episode, it really did nothing to advance this story..like at all. I could have done without this one.

Rico

I enjoyed it.  Yeah, the little contest to pick the best has been done before but I liked it.  And it advanced the story a little.  These 4 - parter's always seem a little drawn out anyway.

KingIsaacLinksr

I actually liked this episode.  What is wrong with me.  o_o
