The first ever animated Star Wars film. Only a few of the actors are reprising their roles as voices. Still, it looks like it'll be a fun film.

See the trailer

The Clone Wars takes place between Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi continue their journey across the galaxy amid the Clone Wars, meeting up with familiar villains, such as Count Dooku, General Grievous and Asajj Ventress. A new major role in the film is Ahsoka Tano, Anakin's young female apprentice.

Taken from Wiki:
The Clone Wars are raging between the Separatists and the Galactic Republic. When Jabba the Hutt's son is taken by a group of renegades, two Jedi are summoned to investigate. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi depart in search of answers: where is the Hutt's son, and who is controlling this mysterious renegade group? Yoda sends Ahsoka Tano along as Anakin's apprentice, Obi-Wan duels Asajj Ventress, and Anakin finds himself dueling Count Dooku once more. Meanwhile, the Sith plan to instigate a three-way war, including the Hutts.

Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu
Anthony Daniels as C-3PO
Ashley Drane as Ahsoka Tano
Tom Kane as Yoda
Ian Abercrombie as Palpatine
Matthew Wood as General Grievous

dude, Annie never had a padawan.

Leave it to LucasFilm to keep adding to the saga.

meh.

I'll most likely wait for the DVD.

I would say the same, but I am a dedicated fan, so I will be at the theatre.

I lost all hope after Jar Jar ****ing Binks.

OT forever!

We have like, twenty threads about this in the Star Wars section. Scratch that, we have a whole FORUM dedicated only to this movie there...ermm

Stop being lazy and just go there..

I'm so tired of the friggin' Clone Wars that it's not even funny. Seriously, can't Lucas do something new for a change? Why not "The Rise Of Darth Vader" or something else non-Clone Wars?
Or why not do the unthinkable and just stop beating a dead horse and make something, I dunno....... DIFFERENT?

Let the man do it, We've given him lots of money already, 10$ for the ticket doesn't seem much now, does it?


Besides, he couldn't let Genndy Tartakovsky get away with a much better Prequel tale than Lucas' own, so he HAD to re-do Clone Wars

That's really bad logic.
Lucas is a millionaire, so spending $10 means nothing? I'm not Lucas.

So you don't have 10$?

To have is not the same as to spare it for special occasions, and Lucas making another movie about the exact same thing with minor changes is not one of them.

Then don't watch it or read up on it if there's no interest. Simple.

The trailer makes me think, "This would be decent if it were live action."

I agree. He should just try something completely new like, 'Coral Wars,' an underwater adventure film.

and that's exactly what I intend to do. I will never watch the prequels again, nor will I further poison my Star Wars perception with this crap. Jabba the Hutt's kid? Give me a ****ing break! I have no intention of rewarding Lucas' destructive behavior by wasting anymore of my money on his sub-par story-telling and everyone-knows-everyone game of galactic six degrees of seperation.

The new trailer for the Clone Wars...

http://www.movieweb.com/video/V08F078iorBGPU

I just rented Oral Wars! It was great!! Except for the end.... it was hard to swallow. (Sorry, it needed to be done.)

Seriously though, I am a huge Star Wars fan, and I see your point Devil King. The prequels and alot of the recent Expanded Universe has been more of a money-making scheme than a progression of the story. Still, though, I will more than likely watch it in the theater.

I preferred the PT to the OT, honestly.

But, then again, this is my generation I guess. Plus I have a bad taste in movies.

Regardless, as a die hard Star Wars fan I must endure this crap.

Sar Wars Clone Wars is looking suspect graphicall. But story-wise even though it's generally known what happens, just not detail-wise, has yet to be seen.

I just might check it out in theatres this summer.

Well, let me just point out that you began your post by excusing the PT as a marker for your generation and ended it with a comment on how you have to endure this crap. I understand you were likely making a joke, but it has nothing to do with generation. The prequels were just bad. I don't call them bad simply because I was born between Empire and Jedi and grew up on the OT, I call them bad because they were rubbish that served as little more than a vehicle for Mr. Lucas to force his CGI capabilities down our throat. No one of the OT generation wanted them to be bad ass and were willing to overlook the glaring contradictions and crappy wriitng more than we. But, at the end of the day, they were just garbage. If your generation has an obligation to that, then I feel bad for your generation. You don't have to endure it. I used to think that way, but I realized I was wrong.

I believe we should just never mention the PT or any of the EU ever again. I enjoyed some EU, but, the bad just seems to overweigh the good by very, very far. So, no mention of that stuff anymore. And it's not the OT anymore...it's just the Trilogy.

It was a joke, yeah. And what I meant by my bad taste was that when it comes to movie I prefer mindless violence and good fighting sequences to a good plot and characters, most of the time. I'm perfectly content with movies with garbage plots and one-dimensional, unoriginal action hero personas as long as gratuiotous amounts of ass are kicked, or I somehow get an adrenaline rush from watching it.

My liking of the Star Wars movies is in this order:

1. Revenge of the Sith
2. The Phantom Menace
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Empire Strikes Back
5. A New Hope
6. Attack of the Clones

*shrug*

Only reason why I prefer RotS and tPM to RotJ and ESB is because I was completely awed by the finale fight and Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul, whereas the dueling sequences in the OT, while stunning for their time, are now simply down right stale and slow, which is very, very irritating for someone who debates about Star Wars like myself. It's very hard to make an argument for why Vader in a suit would probably beat the Phantom Menace Obi-Wan, considering the OT depect him as fighting at half a mile an hour and getting outclassed by Luke "Loisville Slugger" Skywalker, who's fighting scenes in Return of the Jedi were the equivelent of giving Ray Charles a baseball bat and letting him go to town.

So... eh. "Bad" is a subejctive word, and I prefer the quialities that make the PT bad, over the qualities that make the OT bad.

You probably mean that the other way around.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Hey, no one can say the lightsabre battles weren't awesome. But a 10 or 20 minute fight scene is not a substitute for character development, plot, in-context believability, continuity, story, structure, character development, dialouge, character development, story, plot, continuity, character development.

My thoughts exactly.

As for my thoughts on the film, I'm pretty skeptical. Graphics don't look like anything special, a little too cartoonish for my tastes, even though I know it was intentional. I might wait till DVD to check this out.

I also liked the PT better than the OT. I am a tad older than DK...

However, I loved all of them. Greatly.


I think that no matter what GL would have done with the PT, veterans weren't going to like it. I call it the "blankie" syndrome. They just can't let go of their blankie. I think its painfully obvious that the PT was better than the OT. Let go of your damned blankies and face the fact that the PT is better than the OT in just about every way.


No...none of this was a joke.



I WILL be watching this movie. I will be siting in line for 12 hours, watching the PT on my laptop while other nerds gather around to watch with me.

I 100% agree with this post, except for the fact that the PT were basically a pile of garbage compared to the genius of the OT. Since that is obvious. Sure it had nicer graphics and more action, but that doesn't make a good movie...as George again proved with Indiana Jones 4. Though, you probably think that one's better than the original as well.

What nonsense. It was clear after the Trilogy that the dark side is a powerful force and Vader a badass. After the Travesty (PT) all that was shown is that Anakin is a whiny, stupid child that went dark for no reason, without giving a fight and also that he wasn't a badass but a cocky pussy.

I prefer the impression I had from the old ones.

I prefer the impression I had from the old ones. He did it for the woman he loved. Sure, in the end, it was the taste of dark side power that drove him, but he began down the dark path to save Padme.

All the old timers who saw the original Indiana Jones movies are saying that they loved 4 the best. I haven't seen it. That being said, this is in gross contrast to the PT...in which most of the old timers(many of them the same people) thought the OT was better. This is just my experience...but that doesn't mean it fits for all. I am holding my judgment UNTIL I see IJ4.

Nope, you just have an attachment to your blanket. You're like a less white, German Michael Jackson. You're too stupid to see the brilliance in the poor writing and lackluster over use of special effects as a crutch for any meaningful story-telling. You see, you suck because your generation is supposed to know better than to expect anything but flashy cgi and fast paced non-story. You are not being part of your generation, and it offends my sensabilities. It's like you expected on-par story and character development from Mr. Lucas, simply because they existed in the first 3 movies. How dare you not excuse his obvious lack of any real talent because theres no point in crying over spilt milk? Now get out of this thread and go talk about how great movies could be elsewhere.

I found the PT acting to be superior than the OT.

Observe:

GwExDG7n7Zg

I found the character development in the PT to be better as well.

There was also a larger number of talented actors in the PT, as well. The writing in the PT was good...but not anything great...I'd say that there were high and low points to the writing in each so I'm not choosing one on this point. Originality has to go to the OT...but even that is questionable...the late 70s and early 80s was quite packed with original sci-fi flicks.

It would seem most of the reasons you give are typical "blankie" examples. Too close-minded to face the reality that he PT was better than the OT.

Oh well. It's opinion anyway.

Nothing wrong with your opinion. We are bound to have different movie tastes. Something I rate an 8 you'll rate as a 4 or vice versa.

I honestly can't see how anyone can think the writing in the new ones as being superior or on par with th original three. I don't hate the new three ones, but they're really just dazzle.

Anyhow, is this Clone Wars a continuation of the *Clone Wars cartoon that the Cartoon Network showed or is it just a revamping of it?

A continuation of the cartoon...sort of. The plot takes place around the same time as TCW. Just a parallel story.

Well, that certainly depends on one's taste in regards to what a "good movie" is, doesn't?

As far as I personally am concerned, when I want to see good story structure and character development and the like... I read a book. Or I watch a TV series. But when watching regular old movies, non-stop ass kicking and violence with as little necessity for a brain as possible is my preference.

Reading a book is always good. But in regards to movies, all you have to do is pop in the Original Trilogy.

Not really... no. As far as actual movies go, the story structure and character development isn't all that great.

As far as that stuff is concerned... I'll pop in Lord of the Rings, which imo trumps both the PT and the OT in terms of actual movie quality.

Good for you!

But I could really care less about Clone Wars.

Looks like a bad movie to me. Not watching it.

So basically you guys are all jealous?

Thanks, yo. And yeah, I agree with you. ALL digital is always in focus, the sound is always pumpin', it really is where it's at. Some people say they can see some digital fallout, but I think they don't know what they are talking about.

Sell it.

Why see this movie? The prequels were practically ****. And this is going to be ANIMATED. It's not like it's going to be any better.

Hancock is hilariously funny, The Dark Knight is a cinematic masterpiece, and I still haven't seen Mummy 3 yet so probably won't get around to seeing this. Atleast not in theaters. My brother wants to see it but he's 9 years old. Heck I still haven't seen Wanted yet and Iron Man is playing at the dollar theater so yeah.......it's a rental for me.

So, I saw the Clone Wars movie today, and I really liked it a lot. When it ended, most people in the theater clapped. It was a good solid adventure flick. The animation didn't take long to get used to, I thought it was very well done. At first I wasn't sure about the wood carved look of the characters, but it turned out to be really cool. The central characters are Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka becomes Anakin's apprentice, and right off the bat they begin their nonstop journey fighting against the evil plots of Count Dooku and his cohort Asajj Ventress.

Okay, spoiler time:

Dooku kidnaps Jabba the Hutt's son, a little baby Hutt the size of a basketball. Dooku tries to frame the Jedi for the kidnapping in order to keep the Jedi from accessing the trade routes that Jabba controls. Anakin and Ahsoka save Jabba's son and nickname him 'Stinky'. Anakin nicknames Ahsoka 'Snips.' As you might guess, there is a lot of humor to this movie. The battle droids are constantly saying and doing stupid things. At one point someone says, "Do you think we're outnumbered?" And a battle droid actually starts counting all the Storm Troopers before he gets blasted. There is a really cool character, Jabba's Uncle, his name is Xero The Hutt, I think that's how it's spelled, pronounced 'Zero.' He runs a seedy night club on that Coruscant planet, I think, and he's a slimy evil cat, much like the character Doc Hopper in The Original Muppet Movie, voice and all. The movie is very female character oriented. Ahsoka and Asajj Ventress steal most of the show during the lightsabre battles, and Padme, who isn't in the movie all that much til the end, does a little reconnaissance work on her own. The coolest of the Storm Trooper family were these Scouts with urban camo armor and helmets, pretty damn cool. Also, it was weird seeing the film open up with the Warner Bros. logo, and there was no long written prologue that drifts out into space, there was a voice over instead. The movie moves nicely, there is no focus on the love story between Padme and Anakin, it's just all out action with very well timed and written plot points.

All in all, I thought it was awesome. The voices of the characters were also done very well, they did not sound all that different from the movies, especially Yoda. Sam Jackson and Christopher Lee sounded great as well. So, anyway, yeah good stuff.

Im sorry...there is a Clone Wars movie? I thought it was a TV show :O

Cool, Looks like they finally did something good with the star wars prequals(apart from the games)

I just saw a 4 min clip: action looks intense, and the clones take quite a beating...

Not sure what to say about that. I guess if the prequals were released in this type of format, as CG animated movies, which they practically were, it would have been more appropriate and characters like Jar Jar Binks would have been more acceptable. The new movie is very Saturday morning cartoonish, as far as action and adventure goes, and not so heavy plot lines. I would definitely say it was better than Attack Of The Clones.

im glad to hear that this one wasn't as heavy on the plot lines as the live action movie, because that movie made no sense.

Yeah, this one I was able to just sit back and enjoy. I've heard it got a couple of bad reviews, but is seems as though some critics had already made up their mind that it was going to suck because they were already bitter about the prequels. I went in with very little expectations, only that I wanted to be entertained, and I was. It was better than I thought it would be.

so I assume when you got the pass you did cartwheels and yelled out
ya hoo?

I admit, I was excited. It was a free pass I didn't even know about until a day before the movie showed, a movie I had no idea was coming out so soon. Yeah, I was excited.

That gives me some hope, but i can't help but feel insulted that they chose to release this movie in theaters. I am curious and mildly interested in the look of the art design, but it seems like it should have been a DvD special.

This movie looks pretty terrible. Poor CGI (from what've seen in the trailers), not much of a plot, only a few of the real actors doing the voices, mediocre action and nothing but an excuse for George Lucas and company to make more money. Seems just like a milking of the Star Wars franchise. That said, I'll probably rent it when it comes out on DVD just to confirm my current thoughts, but I wouldn't pay to see this in theaters.

The kids get three prequels and now a feature length cartoon. I wonder when Lucas arts is going to give the Adult fans something.

oh, wait, there are no more adult fans.

I probably won't rent it since I already saw it for free.

Here in the UK it's getting pretty crap reviews across the board...

Woah. You think the prequels are more for kids than the OT? That's ridiculous.

Let's just get to RotS. A higher rating than any of the other movies (PG-13). People die all around, children get massacred, Anakin is horrifically burned alive in front of the camera (my 9 year old bro still refuses to watch that scene), war, politics, sympathetic characters dying, etc. Yeah, for kids!

Wow...what a collapse....stick a fork on Lucas.

The magic of SW is fading. What a pity...

Meh, torture, destroyed planets, burned aunts and uncles, killed cute little Javas, cut of hands (with blood), main character shooting some guy FIRST, death of likable X-Wing pilots, with death screams, sliced up mentor, etc...and that's just the first movie.

RotS: Hands cut off, decapacitation, hundreds of people dying, democracy being shattered, deaths of likeable characters, turning from good to pure evil, deaths of clone pilots (with death screams, too), graphic mutliation, slaughter of kids, etc.

RotS is the darkest movie in the series. Followed by Empire. I don't think this can be argued.

Well, you'd think wrong. Though it does try to portray a darker image (and at least succeeds when it comes to the other PTs...and maybe ROTJ), it's not the actually more mature movie than ANH or ESB and no matter what Lucas says about it, it's very obvious that ANH and ESB are not children's movies, while ROTS is way more childish and immature. It's still far better than the first and second, but you know, OT is way more for adults than PT.

Question: How is RotS more childish and immature than ANH and ESB? WHAT THE HELL IS CHILDISH ABOUT IT? Sorry for the capitals, but... seriously. It uses politics, for Christ's sake. Analogies about Bush, the war in Iraq, the flaws of democracy, and Shakespearean themes about Anakin's transformation. It makes the good guys come off as ignorant a**holes, and prevents tons of deaths.

Sorry. The OT was made with both kids and adults in mind; RotJ was kiddy, actually the most kiddy in the entire series. Sure, TPM uses "THE EVIL JAR-JAR BINKS!", but it's a story about a political takeover, ending with the death of the film's most sympathetic character.

And now is the time where you explain how ANH and ESB are darker and more mature than RotS. Please. I'm interested in hearing your explanations.

Why do you find ellipses so hard to understand?

NOOOOOOOOOO! DON"T KILL MY COFFEES!



Why are you presenting that as if that is a point not equaled or surpassed in the PT?



What are you talking about? Han Solo? I think your point is lost again because you've eliminated too many essential words. If you meant "one of the main characters shot some guy FIRST", that'd make more sense.

Anyway, why are you presenting that as if it trumps the PT?



Ugh, I think I'm getting a sense of what this is really about. You have blankie syndrome, don't you?



Uh, you mean a dude that disappeared into nothing when it appeared that the light saber finally struck him?

Yeah, you have the blankie syndrome.



WOOT! I LOVE starwars.




Because those two items TOTALLY trump everything in the PT as far as maturity goes, right?

I'm 22, I can't have your blankie syndrome idiocy.

Padme's death was unrealistic, and stupid. The weakest point in RotS. But that's ONE thing. It would have been so much better for her to really get killed by Vader...

In the opening space battle. They scream, they died, and you actually see the corpse of one of them flying through space.

Nope, no screams, was watching it just now, not even comparable to the "AAAAAAAAAARGH, I AM ****ING DYING, OH GOD, IT HURTS SO MUCH, NOW MY EYES ARE EXPLODING, WHY, WHYYYYYYYY!" death screams of the OT.

Err, you might hear something slightly resembling a scream (could be anything else, really), but as I said



Either way, it's apparent that the OT is more for grown ups than the PT, so I am indeed not sure why we have this debate. Not even to start about that darker doesn't mean more mature by any means.

RotS = Darkest movie with the most mature themes in the saga. This is not debatable. Whether it executes it as well as ESB and ANH IS, however.

(auto quote)[/quickquote

Oh, I agree it was supposed to be the darkest and most mature movie, it just isn't. It might be the darkest, it is without a doubt not the most mature. And in it's darkness it is certainly a childish approach to dark themes.

lol wut?

Seriously. You need to explain what's the whole childish deal with it. I mean, c'mon. Kids can't even fully understand what's the big deal with its darkness.

By the way, I can tell you're more of an OT type of guy. Don't let it get in the way of your rational thinking- I mean, c'mon. You can still like ANH and ESB more than RotS even if RotS is darker and more mature than 'em. Neither of these three films- the 'truly great' SW movies (tho I think AotC isn't too far away from ANH)- are all dark (with varying degrees) and with mature themes, and made for both adults and kids.

I could prefer ANH and ESB even if they weren't the more mature movies, they just happen to be.

ROTS, is a popcorn film, with dark tones. It's not particularly deep, imo, and it doesn't really deal with very mature topics. Sure, it has a bit of politics, but it is mostly meant to be action. You truly believe that ROTS is a more mature movie than ANH and ESB? May I ask why?

Return of The Jedi had Ewoks, ****ing Ewoks, "dark themed" my ass. None of the movies are "dark" per se, they're kids movies first and foremost, fun entertainment.

Just watched Clone Wars, was a decent kids animation, nothing special though. The Jedi figts scenes were cool though, as animation allows the Jedi to really do more Jedi-powers shit. The super-jumping, speed and whatnots.
