Earlier this week, I reviewed
the Star Wars: The Clone Wars DVD. While I still agree that stylistically it
looks good, I feel that the storyline was a little weak. If you are going to
call a movie The Clone Wars, I expect that the movie would show the Clone Wars
on a broader scale than portrayed in the movie. The movie showed a battle on
one planet and then the mission became about rescuing Jabba the Hut’s son. Had
it not been for the subsequent animated television series of the same name, I
would have been sorely disappointed. At least the television series lives up to
the name The Clone Wars.
With a name like The Clone Russia
Wars, it leads a person to believe that this will show the war on a grand
scale. Instead it was like saying World War II and only showing just the
fighting in
At least the director and George Lucas had the foresight to create the
television series.
So, what I would like to
know is, are there any other Star Wars fans out there who feel the same way
that I do about The Clone Wars movie? I would love to hear from you.

Sky Guy? Seriously? Did I hear that? Sky *GUY*??
I’d thought this movie was going to be in cannon. So, so wrong. I’m all about shaking up media, moving from live action to animation and all, but where this movie fell short has so very little to do with media. They lost the characters. They lost Obi Wan. They lost Dooku. The completely lost Anakin.
I have seen only one episode of the show. Clearly, it wasn’t written for me, or fans. Or people. It’s a shame.
