Yep, as I figured, this is going to be too much of a hassle for me to try to tune into or even tape, so count me in as one of the future DVD buyers! Which by the way, was confirmed at the Lucasfilm licensing summit on Wednesday - Clone Wars shorts are indeed going to DVD. I still think they'll somehow manage to intentionally leave at least some type of content exclusive to the Cartoon Channel somehow, just to piss us all off for thinking the DVD in and of itself, would suffice. We'll see...
But I did catch some clips of these cartoons at San Diego Comic Con a few months back, and they were pretty cool. Short, but cool. I'd probably agree with Dave though, in that 3-5 minutes is just too short to really get into it. Another reason the DVD will be great, is you can just (hopefully) watch them all consecutively.
BTW, how long did it turn out to be tonight? 3 or 5 minutes? What was the verdict?
