Related Items Available from eBayProduct DescriptionStar Wars: The Clone Wars is the 2008 CGI-animated theatrical film that serves as the kick-off to the weekly animated Clone Wars TV series. The concept came about way back in 1977's original Star Wars film, when Leia says in her message to Obi-Wan Kenobi "Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars." Initially a simple offhand reference that would reveal Luke's past, the phrase captured fans' attentions for years, until Episode II: Attack of the Clones revealed just how the Clone Wars figured into the battle between Republic and Empire. The 2008 movie is full of familiar characters--Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Count Dooku--and a new one: Ahsoka Tano, a young girl who has been made Anakin's Padawan. Together, the two headstrong youths embark on a mission to rescue Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped child, battling each other as much as they battle the Separatist forces. There are some kind-of-cool sequences, including duels with Dooku and his assassin, Asajj Ventress, and it's interesting to see some new corners of the Star Wars universe, such as the seamy underbelly of Coruscant. But Ahsoka and her penchant for nicknames that are too cute to stomach seem aimed only at tween-age audiences, and for all that goes on in the movie, nothing really happens in the end. The 2003 animated Clone Wars microseries, which had the advantage of being directly tied into the live-action film series, had much more emotional bite. At least some familiar voices return: Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO, and still the only actor in every movie), Christopher Lee (Dooku). Other voices include Matt Lanter (Anakin), Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka), and James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan). But even the traditional opening crawl has been replaced by a narration more suited for Starship Troopers. Veteran Star Wars fans will probably want to see The Clone Wars--once--but it won't take them long to discover that this Star Wars isn't their Star Wars any more. --David Horiuchi Stills from Star Wars: The Clone Wars (click for larger image)
Average Rating: 3.5 Product ReviewsRating:  Garbage put out there to make $$$$Thank You George Lucas!!!! Finally I am free of ever thinking or caring about anything having anything to do with Star Wars ever again!! This is so close to being the worst movie of all time it made me HATE Star Wars and I used to be a fan. All I can say is Thank You!! Thank You George Lucas for total lack of artistic integrity and total disregard for quality!! Keep shoveling the crap out there and destroying the name of a once respectable film series!! Rating:  I haven't actually seen the whole thing, but my son loves itMy son is a clone wars fan so I got this for him. I've seen parts of it and it seems entertaining without too much violence. It also has some humorous parts. I know he would give it a 5 star rating. The quality of the dvd is fine. No problems. Rating:  Probably not for adults as much...But my son likes it as well as the other Star Wars movies. I can't really speak much on it's comparability to the other movies as I'm not a fan of anything Star Wars, and not a fan of much SciFi, unless it's horror related, so this is about all I can say about it. Rating:  Fun, but ForgettableI decided to watch this movie even though I'm not to big on things that are fully computer animated in general, but I found it enjoyable in the end. It was an exciting story about the Jedi taking on a mission and getting wrapped up in a conspiracy involving the Hutt. I thought it was fun, but it didn't add anything to the Star Wars story and I don't plan to watch it again. Rating: For Star Wars FansVery good movie for Star wars fans. For people that doesn't like War movies, don't waste your time. |
