I own this series on DVD.

Now here's an odd ball of a Star Wars series. Technically not canon, but you could almost consider this soft canon or a pseudo prequel to the later CGI Clone Wars series.
This Clone Wars... without the The, is a fast pace action pact cartoon of the clone wars era with Anakin still a padawan (where he's a Jedi Knight in the next series), and I believe this was done by the same guys who made Samurai Jack... and it shows!

It's kind of minimalistic though, with little dialog and heavy focus on just action. It makes a bunch of the characters seem way more bad ass than they actually are... especially Grievous. And yet it kinda meanders a bit.
Though as of writing this review, it's been over a year since I watched it. And I think I've only actually watched it twice ever... at least once all the way through. I do need to re watch it again.
still, it's a fun adventure and a cool place to see a lot of early versions of ideas they'd further flesh out better in the later CGI series. Like Ventress and the water planet mission.

Mistake Status: Oh yeah I'd love to do this one. Since I have the DVD it's even easier so I do plan to do this at some point.

Continuity mistake: When Anakin prepares for take-off, C-3PO and R2 can be seen standing right by his fighter. But as he takes off, they can suddenly be seen standing by Padmé - several floors above.

Chapter 15 - S2-E5

Trivia: In Revenge Of The Sith, General Grievous' first appearance was made notable by his rasping cough. In the Star Wars storyline, the crushing of his chest by Mace Windu in this episode was presented as the logical reason; but actually, George Lucas merely wanted to signify that Grievous is not a droid, but a cyborg.

Answer: Her date of birth is unrevealed. What little is known is that she was found as a child (precise age unknown) by a Jedi who crashlanded on her homeworld of Rattatak somewhere around 40BBY (precise year unknown). Realising her Force potential, he took her as his Padawan and trained her for some years, only to be cut down by a local warlord before he could finish, leaving her to seek vengeance on the warlords who had conspired against him, precipitating her fall to the Dark Side. It's difficult to determine her precise age from all this, but if we assume that she was ten when she was found, and that was in 40BBY, then Asajj would be 28 at the outbreak of the Clone Wars. So figure on anywhere in a range a few years either side of that.
