Star Wars: “The Clone Wars” Voices by: Matt Lanter, Ashley Eckstein, James Arnold Taylor Director: Dave Filoni Running Time: 98 minutes Rated: PG Produced by Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm Animation Distributed by: Warner Brothers Pictures Release Date: August 15th, 2008

    Well this was a highly anticipated animated event. It dives right in without any background and the energy is kept at the highest levels throughout. I’m not fond of the angular style of animation but that is just my personal preference. The story was weak and very bland, more dumbed down than I would have expected. The voices were well done and I couldn’t find fault with the way the characters interacted.

    Overall this was the reverse of “Revenge of the Sith” IE: the story was bad and the dialogue was good instead of the reverse as in the movie. If you must see it wait for the DVD.

    Two stars out of five
