Hasbro Star Wars Clone Wars - AT-TE Assault Squad
$24.99
I got this at target for my grandson because he was waiting for a month to get it to use on his AT-TE. He says that the troopers are awesome and thinks that the standard clone troops look like green company troops fron the clone wars episode cloak of darkness and that the gunner kind of looks like a clone pilot. There are marks that resemble those on the trooper that comes with the AT-TE on their shoulders.

The Clone Alliance (Ace Science Fiction)
$7.99
I found this book to be an excellent continuation of the series and I look forward to the further adventures of our all star clone !

Clone
$19.99
This is an inspirational film for any independant filmmaker out there. Jason's contagious enthusiasm is projected in this film. I acually enjoyed the bonus features even a little more than the movie (although the movie is amazing.) This film should be at every college and filmschool to inspire those film students. Great stuff!

Star Wars The Clone Wars: The Complete Season One (TV Series)
$44.98
I distinctly remember seeing STAR WARS (sorry, kids, it's NOT called "A New Hope"!) in 1977 when I was 10 years old. I've been a fan ever since. I was disappointed in the prequels, but loved the animated shorts on the Cartoon Network, so I had my hopes up for this series. The theatrical film was fairly bad - had it been released as part of the tv series, it would have been the weakest story arc of the season. But these episodes are GREAT! Good, old-fashioned, Star Wars fun: Good guys vs. bad guys, space battles, droids, lightsabers and blasters.

Only two things keep this from being a 5-star item: 1. The short length of the half-hour episodes sometimes makes them seem a bit rushed; and 2. Why is it that the female jedi (with one exception) have to run around in not much more than a bathing suit, while the male jedi are covered from head to toe in robes, armor, and gloves? It might be nice if they brought a few female character and costume designers on-board to make things a little more equitable.

These, are minor quibbles, though. All-in-all, my 9-year-old son and I love to watch this series together, and we hope that Lucas sees it through to at least 100 episodes, as he has said he'd like to do.
