 Star Wars: Clone Wars, an adult perspective. February 5, 2010
Michiru (New Mexico)
There are stories for children that a person can enjoy them in both childhood and adulthood. Examples: Harry Potter, the Twilight Saga, X-Men, and, of course, Star Wars. However, there are also stories that a person can love as a child, but when they grow up, they look back on and wonder just why the heck they liked it. Star Wars: Clone Wars (the movie) is unfortunately one of those. In fact, it's the only Star Wars project I'm aware of that I, as an adult, thought was so silly I couldn't really enjoy it.
Star Wars: Clone Wars is pure action. It lacks the interesting characters, interesting character interactions (father/son like Obi-Wan/Anakin; romances like Anakin/Padme or Han/Leia; master/servant dynamics like Sidious/Vader or Obi-wan/Luke), the more religious and philosophical undertones the Jedi often refer to; ideas about corruption and redemption; they're all absent, replaced by constant battle scenes.
The movie also introduces Ahsoka Tano, a 14-year old that's obviously supposed to act as a Mary-Sue for all the children watching to see themselves in. She's inexperienced and desperate to prove herself yet somehow keeps managing to save the day, all while giving people cutsie nicknames and throwing out witty phrases that weren't actually very witty. The movie humor was all Jar-Jar Binks humor, jokes purely for children that not only weren't funny, but mostly didn't make any sense.
However, just because this movie wasn't for me, doesn't mean it isn't any good. The show has good acting, beautiful visuals, awesome action sequences, and as I said above, the kind of humor little kids really like. Action fans will probably also like it because the battles are so exciting and well animated.
And though I doubt I'll watch the movie again, as a Star Wars fan, I'm glad I watched it because there were some things I liked. As a big fan of Padme Amidala, I loved watching her get her very own action and strategy sequences. Also, the movie introduces a lot of very interesting and cool characters (various clones and he villain Ventress, for example) that get better development in the Clone Wars series (the series, thankfully, returns to be accessible to both children and adults). The girl in me has to admit the Huttling was pretty cute, and it was fun to see the softer side of Jabba. And the action really was great.
If you're a young Star Wars fan, check it out. If you're an adult, go ahead if you have to see everything Star Wars, but rent it first. Two-and-a-half stars for me, four stars overall.

 It could have been so much better. December 3, 2009
Donald P. Blair (Ennis TX)
What a let down. After watching and totally enjoying the first Clone Wars cartoons, I was sadly disappointed when this was released. All of the characters appear carved from stone with their total lack of facial expression, and it is very distracting. If they had told the same story as a real cartoon, and not this cg garbage, it would have made a HUGE difference. Do your self a favor and skip these video game cut scenes and go find the real Star Wars Clone Wars cartoons, still available used on Amazon.
Great Intro For The Series November 24, 2009
D. Reed (Elkton, MD USA)
Though not the Star Wars I grew up with its still enjoyable. The action sequences, and there are a lot of them, look great. The character models though, the humans imparticular, I wish had a little more movement to them. They're too stiff and their hair looks like it was modeled out of Play-Doh. The acting also varies in this picture. While Hayden Christensen was bad in his two, the guy providing Anakin's voice in this is pretty good but some deliveries are flat and and unconvincing. James Arnold Taylor provides the voice of Obi-Wan who actually captures the character very well. Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and Anthony Daniels return to voice their characters though I hope Daniels and Jackson were well paid for about five minutes worth of dialog. I am glad though that Dooku is in it more but all he pretty much does is stand in front of Jabba the Hutt for the whole picture. The new character Ashoka voiced by Ashley Eckstein is annoying! I wish they never gave Skywalker a Padawan; she dress inappropriately for a Jedi apprentice, I hate the way she handles her lightsaber and I hate those stupid nicknames they give each other (though I am grateful that she doesn't call him SkyGuy hardly at all in the series). All in all it delivers but if I were Lucas, I wouldn't have put this in theatres to make a quick buck. It drags too long and would've been suited better for a TV movie than theatrical.
 I want to say this movie sucks, but ill say this October 28, 2009
Mr Mister (Seattle, Wa)
The movie is more/less a half made Star Wars product that is geared towards padawans.
If this movie was made for an older crowd, i think it would of been better.
The movie did have awesome clones VS droid battles..... but the movie could not keep me awake.

Fate of the Jedi: Who Dies?
LOTF was definitely a kill-fest for favorite characters. Lumiya, Pellaeon, Ailyn Vel, Mara and Jacen all got offed by the end. And, of course, Chewie and Anakin and Vergere all died in NJO. So now I'm wondering: who will die in FOTJ?
