Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Who: Mitchel & Kerri
What: Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Where: In the Theatre
Why: Mitchel wanted to see it

Like any Star Wars movie, they aren't rocket science, they are just for fun. This one is CGI animation and the story takes place between the live action movies Episodes II (The Clone Wars) and Episode III (Revenge of the Sith). And Anikin gets a padawan learner. There's tons of light sabre fighting, and stupid droid jokes. Anikin's dark side isn't present as a plot point just a mention of his anger while on Tatooine, it's mostly about him growing while having this padawan.

Plot is simple, Dooku working with Palpatine/Emperor to trick Jabba into siding with them against the Republic. Most of the original voices are not used, but matched well. Samuel Jackson, Christopher Lee and Anthony Daniels Do appear in this film though voicing their characters.

If you are a Star Wars fan it's entertaining, not necessarily a 'must see' or does it add to the overall story, but just gives you another chance to hear that theme song in the theatre again, which is always fun.

I should've known you would see this movie. Jonathan kind-of wants to see it. We saw a cool preview at Star Wars weekends (you probably did too - duh).

Although I hate when movie companies put out a sequel/prequel just to make money. I feel like that's what this movie is all about.

And adding a new random character - blah!

Although the animation style does look very cool!!!
