The premiere episode back on October 3, 2008 was the most watched series debut on Cartoon Network. It has maintained its number one ranking with boys 2-11, 6-11 and 9-14 through January. Girls like it too, at least my daughter does.
"We're trying to push the envelope even further in the second season," said George Lucas. "In the features, I focused on telling the story of the Skywalker family. With The Clone Wars I'm exploring far beyond that and we barely scratched the surface in the first season. It's exciting to be able to take people to all these new places in the Star Wars galaxy."If you watch the show, you know why the ratings are so good. If you're not watching, you really should be. It may not be perfect to hardcore Star Wars fans but it's as close as you can get. It definitely is worthy to be part of the Star Wars mythos.
