  • andypop481, on 08/11/2008, -12/+94Aaah, no, it'll suck.
  • cadmiumpaint, on 08/11/2008, -10/+70with all the money that Lucas has, why did they settle for such ***** looking animation?
  • fadetoone, on 08/11/2008, -4/+57The little jedi chick in the previews seems pretty annoying. If anything it turned me off.
  • merlin484, on 08/11/2008, -4/+53blasphemy, jar-jars not in the movie
  • toenexx, on 08/11/2008, -12/+59Mmmm, I'll just go see The Dark Knight instead....
  • gametavern, on 08/11/2008, -5/+51Hey, the last 3 movies were almost all cartoon graphics, why not a fully cartoon one?
  • BXRWXR, on 08/11/2008, -6/+43I'm sick of Clone Wars - do something different.
  • brokencode, on 08/11/2008, -3/+39I smell a box office flop.
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 08/11/2008, -0/+28Dear George Lucas,

    Stop.

  • EllenO, on 08/11/2008, -1/+29It looks like Reboot came to DVD............................I miss that show.
  • Crumpledump, on 08/11/2008, -5/+32Why does the CGI look like something that came out 5+ years ago?
  • babylonian, on 08/11/2008, -1/+25"2. Awesome Anime-Inspired Art"

    Hahaha, are they serious? They are serious?
  • JasonCox, on 08/11/2008, -3/+26Dear George Lucas,

    Stop with the Clone Wars crap and give us the live action series you promised.

    Thanks,
    -Fans
  • Kajico, on 08/11/2008, -4/+26Reason number 1 it will suck.

    Genndy Tartakovsky is not attached to the project
  • EarthBoundX5, on 08/11/2008, -1/+22buried as inaccurate
  • ButlerMonkey, on 08/11/2008, -6/+25The only reason that this can be good is if the theatre makes a mistake and plays The Dark Knight instead.

  • jezsik, on 08/11/2008, -3/+19Cheap, fast, easy. It's not about vision and story any more, it's about filling the swimming pool with dollar bills.
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 08/11/2008, -3/+18It's a stylistic choice. It's not a "well, that's the best we can do, oh well" situation.
  • Chode2235, on 08/11/2008, -1/+15So they could easily make a Wii game for it.
  • Coven, on 08/11/2008, -0/+13The movie that was just released does not rehash any of the cartoon storylines. As far as I know, neither does the new series. They are all new stories, albeit set during the Clone Wars.
  • babylonian, on 08/11/2008, -2/+15-1) THE PLOT REVOLVES AROUND SAVING JABBA THE HUT'S SON.

    COME ON NOW.
  • Darkangel754, on 08/11/2008, -0/+12***** this starwars movie, Bring on a new full length Reboot movie!
  • RainNIU, on 08/11/2008, -4/+16Lucas - Swallow your pride and make a post-'Return of the Jedi' movie. The Thrawn trilogy, Jedi Academy (actually this one would make a great cable TV series), and Vector Prime catalyst would be awesome. Hell, do 'Shadows of the Empire' - that would *rock*!
  • diskit, on 08/11/2008, -1/+13Do not underestimate the power of the nerds.
  • KMartSheriff, on 08/11/2008, -0/+11The typical "badass" chick with an attitude in just about every sci-fi film/tv show is a turn off. It's just so predictable too. There's ALWAYS that stereotypical attitude bitch.
  • tumbler360, on 08/11/2008, -3/+14Rental. I've had enough with the "New Star Wars" movies. Added to netflix.
  • inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+11If they had done a movie following the adventures of Han Solo and Chewbacca doing their nice guy piracy bit before they hooked up with Luke and Lea, I would be all over it. But more clone wars stuff??? There are already two feature films about this period and there is already 4 hours of cartoon...

    This is pure and simple a ploy to sell more toy light sabers, because I bet they are the single most profitable aspect of the Star Wars product line.
  • GlitchEnzo, on 08/11/2008, -0/+11So do I. Can you guess where my screenname and icon came from? ;-)
  • inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+10Seriously. I saw the trailer for the first time, heard this, and decided that I was not going to be seeing it.

    My 7 year old is dieing to see it, though.

    I wish there was some way of explaining how horrible it is to him... but he'll love it.
  • MoralThreat, on 08/11/2008, -2/+12Enough of the prequel stuff already.
  • amitgir, on 08/11/2008, -0/+102 reasons it won't be worth seeing:

    The two biggest Star Wars fans (read: virigins) hated it...
  • Fleagleman, on 08/11/2008, -0/+9Somehow, they've managed to go backwards in CGI technology. Is it just me, or do the characters now look like old marionettes (Team America, Thunderbirds)? What's up with that?
  • scoottie, on 08/11/2008, -0/+9timothy zahn books anyone?
  • KMartSheriff, on 08/11/2008, -0/+9Except Reboot would probably be more entertaining than this.
  • inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+9If only fanbois see it the movie will make at least $100 million.
  • JollyDumple, on 08/11/2008, -0/+8The Shadows of the Empire game on the N64 was AWESOME
  • WELLDOITLIVE, on 08/11/2008, -0/+8INCOMING GAME
  • rblancarte, on 08/11/2008, -0/+8I have heard it DOES suck.
    My friends went to the Austin pre-screening yesterday (I had to pass because I was busy), their synopses:
    - Kids Movie
    - bad story
    - bad animation
    - TERRIBLE voice acting
    They pretty much said that even the pre-screening wasn't worth it.
  • KMartSheriff, on 08/11/2008, -2/+10A bad stylistic choice at that.
  • reddog093, on 08/11/2008, -0/+7You just made my day.
  • tylercomp, on 08/11/2008, -0/+7seemed like the writer couldn't even convince himself it would be good
  • retrovertigo, on 08/11/2008, -2/+9Yes. One is a cartoon and the other is computer animation.
  • diskit, on 08/11/2008, -0/+7Hey now, I'm sure that's a very important part of the conflict during the epic battles between the two sides of the Clone War- oh, who the ***** am I kidding?
  • EllenO, on 08/11/2008, -0/+7[Oh my god. They must still be stuck in the internet]
  • tmurphy77, on 08/11/2008, -5/+11I already saw this... I have the DVD from the Cartoon Network version - I see no need to watch the same story again. For those that have also seen the Cartoon Network version, are these any different?
  • SilentRamble42, on 08/11/2008, -0/+6Damn kids...
  • babylonian, on 08/11/2008, -0/+6You didn't read the article. The last (and most compelling) reason is that "George Lucas Didn’t Write, Direct, or Produce It".
  • inactive, on 08/11/2008, -1/+7The prequels say otherwise.
