Go To

  • Acting for Two:
    • Terrence "T.C." Carson as Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin.
    • Grey DeLisle as Asajj Ventress, Padmé Amidala, Shaak Ti, and Stass Allie.
    • André Sogliuzzo as Commander Cody, Captain Typho, Captain Fordo, and all clone troopers.
    • Richard McGonagle as General Grievous and Kit Fisto.
    • Daran Norris as Ki-Adi-Mundi, Durge, Master Barrek, and Even Piell
  • Contest Winner Cameo: Of a sort. Cartoon Network ran a poll to choose which of three new Jedi would appear in the second season finale: Shistavanen Wolf Man Voolvif Monn, yeti-like Talz Foul Moudama, or Ithorian Roron Corobb. Voolvif won, but the other two showed up in the third season with larger roles than his. And then got killed by Grievous.
  • Creator's Favorite Episode: Genndy Tartakovsky's favorite episode was Chapter 13, where Mace Windu attacks Super Battle Droids.
  • DVD Commentary: Genndy Tartakovsky does the commentary of every episode on the DVDs.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: The two DVD volumes released for the series were out of print a while after the release of Revenge of the Sith, and outside of a brief re-release on the iTunes Store in 2006, Lucasfilm never bothered authorizing another re-release. When Disney placed the series into the Star Wars Legends continuity, chances of a re-release diminished.note  It finally arrived to Disney+ in April 2021.
  • Promoted Fanboy: Genndy Tartakovsky was inspired by Star Wars to do animation and eventually got contacted by George Lucas to work on the series. Ironically enough, George Lucas wanted him after seeing his work on Samurai Jack.
  • The Other Darrin: Richard McGonagle replaced John DiMaggio as the voice of General Grievous for the third season.
  • Role Reprise: Anthony Daniels reprises his role as C-3PO.
  • Uncancelled: Well, more like Un-ended. The micro series was only meant to last two seasons and there were no intentions for a third. But due to positive fan response, Lucas commissioned one more season to help lead into Revenge of the Sith.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • General Grievous was never planned to appear in the micro series. Instead, Durge was going to have his story arc ended in Chapter 20, but George Lucas thought it would be better to introduce Grievous a year before Revenge of the Sith. Durge's fate happened eventually in the medium where he had originally debuted, the Star Wars Dark Horse comics.
    • Shaak Ti was going to be killed off in the finale, but her death was moved to Revenge of the Sith and it was later deleted from the final cut. The Legends continuity would have her death occur in The Force Unleashed video game, while the Disney Canon continuity would establish her death to be during the attack on the Jedi Temple in ROTS.
