Star Wars: The Clone Wars

As a 10 year old kid I saw Star Wars: A New Hope in its initial theatrical release and was hooked. I continued to grow as a fan as episodes 5 and 6 were released. As an adult I was excited that the franchise was kicking back into gear with a prequel trilogy by telling the back story of how it all started. It turns out that these new movies seemed to be written with 10 year olds in mind as their target audience. When I heard about Star Wars: The Clone Wars I thought it sounded interesting, but I was now skeptical that in this new iteration I would once again be decades older than its intended demographic.



After watching the actual movie this afternoon I have to rate it a 7, just a bit better than "I liked it" and just a bit lower than "I really liked it". Jabba the Hut's uncle Ziro proved to be the worst part of the movie when he spoke in English with a lispy, high-pitched twang purposely reminiscent of Truman Capote. Who knew that there were Gay Hutts?



This was nothing more than a 90 minute commercial for a new batch of Star Wars toys and pilot for the upcoming TV series of the same name.

Good, Bad or Something exactly like this, if it has Star Wars in the title, I will still probably watch every last frame and enjoy it just the same.
