Star Wars - The Clone Wars

I’ve heard about some critics not liking the new Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated film. Well too bad for all those Siskelians but we saw it last night and it can be summed up in my son’s comment, “I don’t want it to end.”

This, like all the films in the Star Wars franchise, is mainly aimed at kids. If you can’t access that part of you anymore, don’t blame it on the films for pointing it out. We thought it was great. The action was good – the clones died in great numbers. The padawan, the Hutts, the droids; none of them bothered us. It was nice to see some of the other ships represented – my son was able to pick a few out from the Starship Battle game.

The animation is a little stylized – not quite the Disney-esque look most people who haven’t been exposed to anime expect. But the costuming possibilities definitely ensue. We’re totally looking forward to the series.
