Just my humble opinion…although the prequel movies themselves were not really craptastic like the Clone Wars I think they should be re-done with a lot less CGI and a lot more gravitas.

Drew, I totally agree with you. The new Clone Wars series is barely watchable. The only reason why most fans tolerate it is because it is something new from the Star Wars brand.

As for the Star Wars universe being badly scarred and bruised, I would agree with you…except most fans I know don’t consider it real Star Wars. Problem is, for many of us (like you and I apparently), Star Wars isn’t just a “brand” at all…rather it’s a well created and crafted modern-day mythology. I think that there are two eras. There is the pre-insanity era and post-insanity era. Pre-insanity includes the original trilogy, the radio shows, and the novelizations. This will always be the “truest” Star Wars for me and the core of the mythology. The rest of this stuff is apocrypha at best, especially when it contradicts the novels and first three movies. Imagine if the stimulus bill would have included a billion dollar plan for Peter Jackson to do the prequels over entirely. Now THAT would have been change I can believe in!!

Now, I’m just 13. I’ll say this before anyone criticizes me about my comment. I have been a STAR WARS fan for quite a while now and I was pleased with both the original triliogy and prelude movies. I also believe that the first CLONE WARS series was well done. But, when I heard of this new animated movie, I could immeadiately tell it would be horrible, and I was right. I did not understand any of this **** which was presented to me in the movie and did not like any of the new characters. I believe that the animation was horrible, I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed, but Anakin’s neck bulges out of his outfit, the same as everyone’s eyes with their head. Also, what is with Ashoka Tano? Doesn’t Anakin have to be a jedi master to train someone, I believe we confront this problem in episode 3, Anakin is not yet a master. I also hear that in the series Anakin is adressed a “General” Skywalker, in which episode 3, he is a “Commander.” I was absolutely disgusted by this film and George Lucas has hurt me, very much. I cannot believe, in his effort to keep STAR WARS alive, he would agree to make this ****. The person I hated most in this movie was Ashoka Tano, why is she considered a new species? (There’s Shak-Tii which she looks way too much similar too) Where the hell did she come from? And why did she need to ruin everything? I feel somewhat embarassed that I can not write as well as you other people, but I just wish to express my anger against this movie. Overall. This movie was terrible. Ashoka Tano is terrible. Ventress used to be awesome, but now is an old-looking annoying voiced, anerexic hag. The STAR WARS universe has been scarred, bruised and wounded, and there must be something soon to help it recover.

I’m a loyal Star Wars fan.

I like the dialectical concept of light vs. dark. I like the signature lightsaber of the jedi. I liked the prequels. Some people don’t like the prequels, but that is respectable.
Lucas’ movies have psychological aspects, romantic drama and action. And Lucas has created something very rare; a line of movies that can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.

The only I haven’t liked about the movies was Hayden Christensen’s brutal acting. When he loses his looks, he will have nothing. I can’t wait ’till his an ugly forty-year-old working at burgerking, descending into alcholism and dementia {as a certain deviant artist suggested may occur}.

This stabs a dagger in the heart of every loyal star wars fan;
Ahsoka with a voice like Hilary duff, Mace Windu looking so skinny, Yoda looking like a teddy bear, and my beloved KitFisto’s handsome visage DISHONOURED in this manifestation of mediocre computer animation.

Now, Tartanovsky. Oh, dear Tartanovsky. Now theres a man who knows how to make a good movie. He made The previous Clone wars movie {the one that brdges the gap between 2 and 3} and it was superlative. The plot was sublime, the fight scenes perfectly cheoreographed.

Dave Filoni ruined star wars. And his movie, besides being a pilot towards the show}the quality of whcan equate with that of the movie that suceeds it.}The rating I could give this movie would be a NEGATIVE INTEGER.

There! My hateful rantings constitute this 500+ word paragraph bashing the movie which sold many a crappy peice of merchandise.

I couldn't really comment on how good or bad the film was, as I was so disgusted in the fact that they had made a Clone Wars cash cow in the first place, it's very existence is a simple, boring, badly produced kick in the face to all the great clone wars material that came before from the awesome Dark Horse Comics and Gendy T.
Dave Filoni say's he is a fan but he's GL's *****. This is the neo-Holiday special imo, The Clone wars is old news, lets have something new, as said before lets hope the live action captures the old SW charm and style.

I'll be re-reading the collected Clone wars TPB's for the “Real” events of the three years between AOTC and ROTS

Lucas should pull the plug on the cartoon series. Develop a sequel trilogy like he originally planned to do focusing on the further adventures of Luke Skywalker. If he
does not want to do it he should pass it on to someone else who does. Star Wars should live on in films for future generations of children and it should be the same
quality as the original trilogy not the junk like the Clone Wars movie which takes advantage of a loyal fan base.

[...] Most of the titles that come immediately to mind are from Bioware, a developer I’ve been in love with since the original Baldur’s Gate. Mass Effect would make a great movie, as well as Jade Empire and Knights of the Old Republic (which I long for even more after watching the new and profoundly mediocre Clone Wars cartoons). [...]

I saw the movie and I gave it a chance..

By the time the narration came along, It seemed as if there was already no hope.
I held on until the new padawan chick came along..
Just everything about this movie makes me sick, its worse than the *** Pistol’s selling out!
My poor 12 dollars… COME BACK TO ME… if there was ever a way to UNWATCH a movie I’d do it..

Were you in the theater just hoping and praying that this would just get better? I am still dumbfounded about this movie.

I have seen return of jedi over 47times in my live and can recite the whole movie! But this was junk compared to what was on cartoon network… this should not even been called clone wars! this was the battle of the bridge….( on some stupid planet) and WHERE THE HELL IS GREVIOUS? Lucas throws him in the 3rd movie, but I dont understand how a person becomes a “general” in a plot line between the clone wars movie and episode 3… Im not a Die hard fan (well at least on who would try to make his own stormtrooper costume) but i have read over 10 of the books and seen all the movies over 8 times each, and I own all the episodes and the cartoon network “clone wars”….. and this movie is so not even in the same time line….. how does jabba own the trade routes in the outer rim? that doesn’t make sense, wouldn’t darth vader just roll up to tatooine and destroy his palace if that were the case? I mean by at least the new hope darth vader would have seized control of the shipping lanes…. (Hence the need for han solo (smugglers))

All in all i would not even take my kid to see this! i am ashamed of george for this atrocity! I think this was a movie made by a fourth grader!
they even tweaked the theme music…. to be even more lame…..
and Ziro? are you serious? I don’t even know why a HUTT would even be on courscant? F this movie! go on AMAZON and buy some awesome star wars books! Personally like the rise of Dark Vader by James Luceno its cool to read how VADER is right after episode 3
