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

Wow...this was TERRIBLE. I loved the original trilogy and I even liked the prequels but this? Holy hell this was bad. Clone Wars, to put it lightly, just feels hollow, empty, and soulless. Director Dave Filoni is a hack and should NEVER be near anything Star Wars ever again.

Lets start with the good...Ummmmm....decent action scenes. Now the BAD...Ashoka Tano is SO ANNOYING and one of the worst additions to the Star Wars universe. They made her way too "teeny boppy", and her dialouge is atrocious.

Then theres the CONSTANT bickering between her and Anakin and the dialouge just gets WORSE. She calls Anakin "Sky Guy", R2-D2 "Artooie", and Jabba the Hutts son "Stinky".

It bears repeating, the dialouge is just pathetically juvinile. BAD BAD BAD on so many levels. Then theres the story which is no inconsiquential and adds NOTHING to the overall Star Wars mythology. And what the fuck is up with Ziro the Hutt!!??? Talk about your most racist and most ridiculous character EVER in a Star Wars flick, plus he speaks english? Umm, what? I'm actually going to stop my review here becuase the more I write about it the more pissed off I get.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT go see this travesty at the theater. Genndy Tartovosky's take on the Clone Wars was INFINETLY BETTER than this sh*t.
