The Clone Wars
So how are you enjoying the new Clone Wars TV show?
Didn't get round to watching the film but was surprised at how much I enjoyed EP1 and EP2.
Each episode was packed with action and will be sticking it on my watch list.
Seeing all those clone troopers made me wonder if there was a way to modify my armor to be a clone.

I hate to be negative because I really want to enjoy the Clone Wars series, but I honestly find it a bit boring. It's definitely geared towards kids, and while that may be smart marketing, it makes me feel alienated as an adult fan of the franchise. I wish they had begun with more "Attack of the Clones" stylings, but outside of the clone armor it seems everyone's decked out in their "Revenge of the Sith" attire and whatnot.
As far as the movie and episodes go, I feel they've just been a bit too simplistic and methodical. Action is fine, but predictable, mindless action is boring to watch. Anyway, perhaps I'll be more satisfied when we start to get more General Grievous action. I like that guy, but I fear they're going to make him more the bumbling sidekick villain, rather than the creepy strategic genius he was in the original Clone Wars cartoon from 2004/05.

The fact that members here still play with toys should mean something should it not? (not meant in any negative ways)

According to my friend (who said he read the books), Anakin does have an apprentice. Having not seen the TV series I don't know.

Well, i doesn't surprise me that its geared towards kids. But so far good, I enjoyed it very much. One negative note, the stupid babbling of the battle droids gets old quick.

I haven't seen the film yet but I will. Besides that I loved the show. I know the droids were given a kid friendly comedy element but I thought that it gave them more personality.
Yoda's fight scene kicked ass!

The movie was ok. I think I prefer the 2D one more. Ahsoka Tano kind of annoys me XD

The original clone wars was better, I agree

Don't plan on watching it… not interested in watching George Lucas further destroy the Star Wars franchise. I have better things to do. Like this:

Destroy it like he did on South Park?
I'm trying to avoid coming into contact with anything 'Clone Wars' related.

It's what I expected (not great, but watchable), and I'll keep watching.

My kids gave up wanting Bakugan, Transformers and UB Funkeys for Clone War toys this Christmas. The only thing is the toys are starting to sell out at local Walmarts and Targets around here.
Plus my 55 year old brother, who decorates his tree every year in Star Wars ornaments, is acting like a little kid when he talks about this show.

While yeah it may be geared towards kids, i have to say Im extrememly impressed and Im not easily impressed by most anime or american animation for that matter. Its really funny and so far good story.
didnt know that they made a tv show out of the movie, currently downloading, the only part i didnt get in the clone wars is why they didn't use clone(or are they clone of janggo? only different hairstyle due to being ARC and all)

This was the only Star Wars movie I didn't see in theaters. I read some reviews from guys that are around my same age who used to love the series in the same way I did. And even liked the prequels but agreed they had their faults....but they said these were almost unbareable kids films. I really enjoyed the original Clone Wars though, wish they were going more that direction.

Good CGI, but the story, has more jokes and funny moments than the original movies (more for young adults and up)...i think with this production, they are trying to catch the younger audience (kids and teens)...
Now, about this movie and others to come... as soon as they keep the story line loyal and faithful to the original Movies and NOT too childish that's fine...
the Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoons(2003-2005) created by Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack & Dexter's Laboratory) aired on USA's CartoonNetwork was very good!!!

hi danny: yoda kick some major ass in it which is cool and funny as hell to watch how dumb the droids were...overall i think it is still good cartoon to watch. better then the clone war movie.
to mod your armor to clone you will need to use alot of putty and your movement will be very limited. i found out how trapped i was when i wore it. if you need a new bucket let me know..i am moding a few of the hasbro bucket to fit my armor. Everyone is trying to go seamless on the armor which mean mine will be even harder to put on.

battle droids humour are probably the best thing ever to happen to star wars ever since jar jar!
speaking of which , i do hope he makes a cameo appearance in this one.
what i am particularly proud of, is the fact that Lucasarts singapore had a part in this. it's so awesome to imagine that a production of that caliber is in singapore...

I have yet to watch this, but I will eventually catch up. I feel burned out on the Clone Wars, and Star Wars in general. I want them to tap the Old Republic era - that would definitely garner my interest.

I know that would be awesome they or mayber they could do like a life after luke skywalker or something.... >.> nvm that wouldnt work.

Me Too, I think They Ruined It(MY OPINION, NOT YOURS) By Making it A Cartoon Like animation, They Should Of Stuck To Realism with star wars.
oh well, when i get my Komlin (like a Sharp Shaped Robo Trooper) suit Finished, Ill Show Everyone
The only Star Wars movie I really even liked was episode III. Mostly because Yoda got in on the action!
