Review of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) by Guyc — 14 Aug 2008

I saw an early screening of The Clone Wars yesterday and was pleasantly surprised after the debacle that was the prequel trilogy. This is in no way meant to be the 7th Star Wars movie (or even 2.5), nor does it try to be.

Instead you get a straightforward story, with some very good animation, and the most character development from a SW movie since Jedi. We actually see Anakin mature as a leader and Jedi Knight. Points are certainly lost on the cheesy dialogue of those annoying droids, the brother-sister yapping between Anakin and his Padawan, and the androgynous Hutt uncle.

But overall this movie makes for a fun outing if not taken too seriously.
