February and March have been pretty shit as far as DVD releases are concerned. I haven’t bought anything since Feb 15, that’s a long time. Tomorrow that changes as Star Wars: Clone Wars, Volume I makes its debut on the shiny disc.

This is a set of 20 animated shorts that originally aired on Cartoon Network back in 2003-4. I didn’t watch them at the time because they are all around 3 minutes each and I think that’s pretty dumb. Here they are edited together to make one continuous adventure, that’s better. The animation is done quite well by Genndy Tartakovsky and his artists, the same folks that brought us Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Laboratory.

Volume II of this story actually started tonight on Cartoon Network and continues the rest of this week at 7:00 pm. Since I haven’t seen Vol I, I am going to miss all of these. They should have probably waited until after the DVD for I came out before they started II, but that’s just my opinion.

I look forward to going to the store during lunch tomorrow and actually buying something. This will be a DVD Tuesday long remembered. It has seen the end of the recent DVD drought and will soon see the end of the Rebellion.
