The "unrealistic" nature of the microseries is what made it so great. There was always something going on whereas TCW felt plain & sterile at times. You also have to see that the series was never meant to compete with any other SW Tv Show and altogether was only 2hrs long. TCW ran for 6 seasons so obviously would feel superior but in reality TCW done many things wrong that the 2003 series got right. I don't have a particular preference but it annoys me when philistines say its crap due to a few things and do not give the show a fair hearing. How does being unrealistic and not making sense make anything good? I mean, maybe if you're The Simpsons but usually nah... No what I mean is that for a story to be engaging writers have to sometimes be really adventurous even if the naysayers throw a tantrum and some things that you would consider to be unrealistic in the 2003 series actually aren't and they make sense as long as you look at it from a different way. It isn't a crime for the writers to be creative.... Oh and I never said things not making sense was good but the microseries does make sense as long as you aren't constantly trying to look for any negative detail you can.

The micro series looks messy IMO because of the animation. No offense to anyone, that's just how I feel about it. It was very direct with its stories and was good considering what it was meant to be, but TCW is clearly superior. Plus I feel like some of the scenes were very unrealistic (i.e. Mace Windu punching Super Battle Droids and taking down like 300; Grievous swinging his lightsabers like a maniac while easily beating 4+ Jedi). Still, it's not terrible, just compared to TCW and Rebels, I think it's the weakest series, but it's cool if you like it more than Rebels.

I don't have a particular preference but it annoys me when philistines say its crap due to a few things and do not give the show a fair hearing. It was a decent show, but I prefer shows that are realistic and logical, especially when they aren't meant to be humorous. And I'm not sure what the 2003 show did better besides be quicker, more to the point, and have nothing but action. I liked the depth and detail of TCW. Season 1 alone was better than what I've seen of the micro series. But like you said, it was never meant to compete with anything or be anything other to a short intro to ROTS. Considering what it set out to do, I think it did an alright job.
