The Clone Wars - reviews

Fair play, you may have. But as I reported in 2005, when I met Daniel Logan at a local signing post ROTS, he told us of the clone wars series planned and that the live action series was coming and that he would be reprising his Fett Role..
(Im sure Queeq'll remember me saying back then)
He also said the pics of him online in the Fett gear were both for a proposed ROTS scene that never happened and also as an inadvertant tester with future live action projects in mind.
Id been waiting from then.

Now I cant as a mere punter at a signing have been the only one he told. So the new CW is hardly news. And every starwars head I know IRL knew about it...not just from me, as time went on.
So what cave've you been in Ush...? 😛

Seriously though, true about the more recent movie format decision but a series was definitely expected, safely set between Eps 2 and 3, presumably involving characters seen in Star Wars and the previous animated CW series.....

Finally, irrespective of any sources of anticipation of the end product,
what was unleashed at us, I still feel still fell below what I'd have expected from a SW feature release.. and im not alone.

Also, even though the officially released pics were slim before the movie came out, remember how apeshit some went over any little pic that came out prior to ROTS...? Anticipation isn't linked to the output of the PR machine always.

And no worries Queeq, thanks for giving it space here.. 🙂

Space? The final frontier?

Hmm, sorry, but no- you just have to look to the relative paucity of posting in this place as an example.

There was NO hype here at all. Really none, neither official nor fan based. It was very quiet.

I dont care how many knew or not..

It was the degree of expectation from those that did know, that I count here..

After thinking further I do concede that Hype may have been too loose a descriptive though.

liked the music.

movie was for kids, quite obviously. it was good... thought anakin's char. had a bit more char. dev for anakin.... just a tad bit- not so whiny(well, imho), and him and Snips made quite a good team. what happened to ahsoka after all this, btw?

liked it over-all... not the star wars i'm used to(i mean, compared to the other eps) but its CERTAINLY better than lame attempt on TPM.

twas awesome. loved it.

A creepy physical concept, that, the front ear....

It hurts too.

Especially with longitudinally delivered nagging. Cant just turn your head away anymore.

Then the back ear hears it all.

This time, the merchandise wasn't made for the movie, the movie was made to be merchandised.

The trailer was shown more than a year ago, and the movie was announced in January.

Or was it december?

The trasiler was for the series and the movie was announced in February.

There ya go.

Nope, wrong again, Hasbro announced that Star Wars was returning to theaters 8/8/08 at one of there shareholding meeting back in early January/late December. Lucasfilm didn't want them to have the press, so they pushed it back a week.

I can find the link to the sound bit if you like?

My apologies, it was back in November!

Can you guys not read?

That was pure speculation.

The movie was announced in February. We even have the official announcement linked to in opening post of the thread commenting on that in this very area!

Honestly guys... "can't argue with"... pathetic.

Hehehe... Who wants to argue with that?
