The announcement of this bare bones, single disc has caused quite a stir in some fan communities..and apparently here on Amazon as well.

Here’s the skinny: At the bottom of the press release for this single DVD, Lucasfilm clearly states a box set for Season 1 (with extras) is in the works, including Blu Ray. I have to give them credit for at least telling us up front that this DVD is not intended for the people that will want the whole season. Although I am not sure who the intended consumer is for this, I guess almost an hour and a half for $14 is enough to keep the little ones quiet in the back seat of the SUV and make it so you don’t have to worry about losing a disc from your box set.

For releasing a no frills single DVD: 1/5

For content: 3.5/5

For telling me to wait a few months for a season box set: 5/5

The movie was great, the series is equally as good, and in case you missed it, It has been airing on Cartoon Network since November of last year (2008).

I was going to dive in and purchase this, but once again the movie makers have decided to give you and I the usual “rip off”

Here are the first four episodes, that carry on pretty much exactly from where the movie finished, and make no mistake the stories, animation and acting (voices) are all excellent, but I ask again, 4 Episodes???

My kids have seen at least 12 screened on TV at around 25 minutes per episode. Are you telling me that we need to buy 3 or 4 separate DVD’s to get a whole series already shown on TV? That’s a joke.

My advice, when it’s all old news (in a few months) a “complete collection” will come out, and I guarantee it will be cheaper. Vote with your wallets folks, stop letting them rip us off.

The Clone Wars show is great, I enjoy watching it with my son. But no way I will be buying a dvd with 4 episodes on it. Give me the entire season or no thanks. It’s so maddening to see how companies do this stuff with shows geared towards kids.

I don’t have the patience or the money to let Lucasfilm string me along. I’m not going to buy this show 4 episodes at a time. This is, however, a great show so let me know when it’s the whole series and then we can talk.

And Hollywood wonders why pirating is so widespread… Dont get me wrong it would exist either way. But this kind of release drives the otherwise “honest movie buyer” to rationalize his disgust with George and punish the greed with a few free downloads.
