1.0 out of 5 stars 2 Jedi and a Baby, August 29, 2009

By	D. COLLIER "Doug Collier" (Brownwood, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

LUKE: You fought in the clone wars?
BEN: Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father.

LEIA: General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the clone wars.


These quotes lit a fire under our curiosity, and it burned for nearly 30 years. Now the excitement and anticipation can be satisfied by...

...the further adventures of little orphan Annie!

CLONE WARS boasts exciting space dogfights and intense light saber duels. But these things do not make up for where it fails miserably. Nowhere in this movie do we see the echoes of the great stories hinted in A NEW HOPE. Nowhere do we see a camaraderie develop between Bail Organa ("years ago you served my father") and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Since 20th Century Fox did not release this film (can't say I blame them), the movie opens with the Warner Brothers logo and without the signature Alfred Newman prelude. There is no written prologue that retreats into the distance of space. The animation is rather wooden. This would have been acceptable had the film been made by a studio with a more limited budget. But it was made by George Lucas who has money coming out of his ears! Financially, there is no reason why THE POLAR EXPRESS should look better than CLONE WARS. But even VEGGIE TALES looks better than CLONE WARS.

The plot of CLONE WARS is that the Jedi are summoned to rescue Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped son. That is the plot of the movie called CLONE WARS. Can someone please enlighten me as to what that has to do with the Clone Wars?

Jabba junior who inherits the nickname,"Stinky" is much more annoying than ewoks and Jar Jar Binks put together. There is even an utterly failed attempt at humor by pointing out that Junior the Hutt made a poopie. (No, I am not making that up.) Which, incidentally, is how we arrive at his cute nickname. Jabba the Hutt's uncle plays a role in the film as well. Ziro the Hutt does nothing to add to the entertainment value of this heap except to make the viewer wonder whether or not he was based on Truman Capote, for there is an uncanny resemblance.

The music in CLONE WARS almost never sounds like any of the scores composed by John Williams. Sometimes it sounded like a rock band and sometimes like classical Chinese folk music.

I'm sick and tired of people defending ewoks and Jar Jar Binks by saying it's in there to appeal to the kids. Where have you been the last 30 years? It's STAR WARS! The name alone has kid-appeal and always has. It has more kid appeal than Fess Parker's Davy Crockett, for crying out loud. And it had it long before an ewok ever scratched his ear or a Gungan ever ruined a movie. You might as well complain about Sesame Street not having enough kid appeal.

In a word: Stinky.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sky-guy and Snips; are you serious?, October 30, 2009

By	Mr. Swiss (Kansas City, KS) - See all my reviews

I've always been a star wars fan, I even enjoyed the new ones although not as much as the originals. This movie I knew it was more geared towards kids, not me, but I had a opportunity to watch it so I did, I ended up stopping it three times cuz I was bored but I did finally finish it. I'm really not sure what to think, it could've been a lot better but it is what it is. If you're a die-hard star wars fan be warned, if you're a kid, you'll probably like. As bad as it was I'm still curious to watch some of the show, thats the only reason I gave it that second star... a baby hut. Ha!

4.0 out of 5 stars What Can I Say? The Kids Dig It., April 20, 2009

By	Janeite (USA) - See all my reviews

I've been a Star Wars geek since the third grade, and I am now the proud mom of two elementary-aged boys who (like most of their friends, I'm glad to say) also adore the series. Frankly, I sort of wish Lucas had stopped with the three original films which I think are classic and wonderful. The three newer live-action films left a lot to be desired, I felt, but my boys adore them all just as much if not more than the old Luke/Leia/Han movies I grew up with. With the boys it's all about the action, and The Clone Wars delivers. We saw the preview to this film in the movie theater, and our whole family of four almost jumped out of our seats. How cool! A neat looking cartoon version of the mythical clone wars starring my favorite character, the awesome Obi Wan. Of course, we went out to see it on its opening day (along with some other families with Star Wars boys) and the kids adored everything about it. My view was that it was neat-o, for sure, but clearly not made for adults. Let's be real, this movie is positioned as the set-up to a new cartoon television series, so it basically seems like a slightly long episode of a tv cartoon. But I like the look of the series with its vivid interplanetary settings and way-cool battle sequences. And being able to see Jedi in action is an overdue pleasure. However, questions are raised which are impossible to answer. I, for one, can not relate to the character of Anakin as a mentor to a youngling since I know that one day he's going to cold-bloodedly murder a whole temple full of them. My kids even asked me if Anakin is going to kill his padawan one day. Yikes! But if you've got kids in the house or a Star Wars collection to add to, you simply have to buy this.
