Samurai Jack is so beautiful and being able to portray things / have the confidence in the art really seems to cut back on unnecessary / clumsy dialogue that so many shows have today.
Whenever I think of Tartakovsky I also think of his clone wars micro series he did for Cartoon Network. The episode with the special forces clone troopers that has no dialogue after the first 30-60 seconds or show is just so unbelievably good. So much tension.
the episode with mace windu taking on an entire droid army - by himself - is what opened my imagination to the true potential that a jedi master has. it's a shame that neither the movies, nor any other tv show, have come close to conveying "why" everyone fears and respects force users.
Clone Wars microseries did more for my love of star wars than all the movies put together.
pure effing magic.
As a kid, that was my favorite episode of the series first season. I still remember coming back after school catching the 5 minute micro-episodes on Cartoon Network.

It stops becoming Star Wars as we know it and starts becoming Dragon Ball Z with laser swords. Quite a number of books and video games in the Expanded Universe/Legends veered in that direction, in many cases to the detriment of consistency in lore.
this is a billion dollar idea. i wish i had the capital to get it off the ground, sigh.

"Somehow, Palpatine returned" is the current state of the lore. it literally cant get worse, so why not have some fun?
It was spellbinding. When he dons the blindfold and everything goes black and silent for what feels like eternity...
