What are your thoughts about Star Wars The Clone Wars TV series and movie?

I think they’re pretty good. They are actually pretty action packed for a 30 minute kids show.

My 6 soon to be 7 year old and I are right in the middle of watching them. We are really enjoying them.

My opinion might be tainted by my sons enthusiasm.

Very nice animation.

I have noticed that in Obi-Wan’s actor in “The Clone Wars” lacks character that Ewan McGregor had in the Episodes II and III. In the new show he seems almost monotonic in a way.

Shouldn’t destroy a name such as starwars . it’s tripe and not classed as starwars to me

After being obsessed with the prequels for a few years, I am Star Wars-ed out. I probably need another 5 years or so before I can even look at The Clone Wars.

Also some of the things they do in the new series are things that they would never depict in a live action movie. Such as a clone punching a robot in the face, which would obviously not work.

@sandystrachan – After the kid that played anakin (sp?) in first prequel, I don’t see how you can say that. That kid was so bad he ruined movies that were released at the same time that he wasn’t even in!

@Bri_L So true

Starwars to me is , New Hope , Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi , everything else is a cheap imitation and George Lucas trying to get money .

@sandystrachan Shouldn’t destroy a name such as starwars

Yeah, that should be left to George Lucas. No one could mess them up better.

Ah yes Mr Lucas he sure knows how to destroy his own creations , will he ever learn i doubt it .

Anyone here a fan of RobotChicken? I just recently discovered it and laughed my but off at it.

@Bri_L Yes, that show is hilarious! One of my faves.

I sort of like it. I watch everything that comes out on Cartoon Network.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities – one of my favorite sketches is when Darth Vader calls in after the Death Star explodes.

I don’t have cable. I had caught it on YouTube then got it from the Library. I also like the story behind the “He doesn’t like you, I don’t like you either” scene in the bar.

@Bri_L Check out the full episodes on adultswim.com if you don’t have cable.

I have to post this one. I’m hungry for gummy bears now.

I think they are worth watching. My 7 year old daughter and I enjoyed them thoroughly, looked forward to each episode.

She definitely liked the “real” movies better though, and actually (egads!) preferred the prequels to the originals.

The Clone Wars is a pleasant surprise in a genre that really needed a win.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities – Big lurve and thank you!!!

I really enjoy the tv series. I like how it doesnt just stay with one point of view either, like one episode will be mainly focused on just some storm troopers. The only problem i have with the show is anakins padawan. That girl is so god damn annoying. EGH
