There are three reasons why you should go see Star Wars:The Clone Wars.
- If you are a (Die Hard) Star Wars fan.
- If you have children and you are slowly trying to introduce them into the Star Wars universe.
- You are looking to kill some time. If none of these apply to you by all means save your money, or go see Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express or The Dark Knight. All of these are by far a better use of your hours.
(Warning spoilers ahead) The plot of this newest Star Wars saga goes something like this. Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi have their hands full fighting amongst the Clone Army. In the middle of all this battling, a young Padawan by the name of Ahsoka is sent (via master Yoda) to be trained by Anakin. Throw in a subplot about Jabba the Hut’s son being kidnapped and a double cross by the evil Count Dooku and presto,  this film unsteadily has its legs. Two hours later, the message is simple and easy to get. Young Padawan’s should trust their elders, and secondly, though you may be a Jedi you still could use some help now and then.
It’s a mystery to me where this movie falls in the Star Wars legacy. Technically it’s not another sequel to the series, nor is it a further explanation of episode
More annoyingly though, is that Clone Wars is actually a half decent little cartoon that should have been a lot better. However, with such great CGI animated films that raised the bar earlier this summer like Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda, half decent just doesn’t cut it. You would think with Mastermind executive producer George Lucas behind the wheel we might get a better film. On top of that, only three of the original voice talents have returned for the film. Samuel L Jackson (Mace Windu), Anthony Daniels (C3PO) and Christopher Lee (Count Dooku).
The film boast some really neat action shots and some new action music which helps out tremendously. There’s even a scene towards the end with a Jabba the Hut relative that could have you chuckling. Sadly, it’s not enough to keep this film which visually has the look of a over analyzed video game from being a straight to DVD release.
