Star Wars : Clone Wars

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Huh what are you talking about?

[Araciel]

i mean i don't think they were created to be played on tv, like other half hour shows, though they aired on our equivalent of the cartoon network up here...were they created as shorts to be put on before the movies in theatres or what?

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Yeah the episodes were originally created as shorts the cartoonists explain all this and more on the special features of the Volume One Clone Wars DVD.

[Araciel]

i recorded them off tv with my pvr...hehe back when i had cable so i had no idea

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

If you decide to buy the Volume 1 Clone Wars DVD you could listen to the Director's commentary track...I can't remember the guy's name but I think he's the same guy who created Dexter's Lab.

[Araciel]

heh dexter's lab..same artistic style anyway....

i tend not to listen to commentaries on dvds

but yah i might buy them someday my collection needs some new additions

Gendy Tartakovsky.

As for Ani's fall to the Dark side, Lucas did have scenes about it in EP3... they just got cut before final release. There's also a lot more in the EU about all of it.
