This Animated 'Star Wars' Movie Looks Terrible
No, I am not talking about the story, but I could be

This Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated movie is going to be an interesting experiment considering the prequel films were not any good, it looks like more of the same and the animation looks awful.
Today we get the picture above (and one more in our gallery) from USA Today of the film's villain, Asajj Ventress. Yet again we get a double lightsaber baddie, a la Darth Maul, and an animated character ComingSoon.net has referred to as a "bald babe". Yikes, she looks more like a leperous demon to me, but to each his own.
Then we have the new poster featuring our bobble-head heros and their laser swords. Seriously, hasn't anyone gotten tired of lightsaber battles and the force push like I have? The ultimate problem with all of these films is that we already know how all of them are going to turn out. Anakin becomes Darth Vader and yells, "Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!" while almost falling down and Obi Wan gets old and smokes weed in the desert. It's the natural order of things.
I guess Warner Bros. doesn't think the magic is over as I am sure they are happy to finally have their hands on the property that made Fox so much money. However, I am not sure this will do anywhere near the numbers the live action films made.
Here's that poster, the film hits theaters on August 15 as the much talked about Clone Wars will finally have their day in the theaters even though it is with animated bobble-heads/SIMS looking characters.
Oh, and the film just received a PG-rating from the MPAA for sci-fi action violence throughout, brief language and momentary smoking. Yup, smoking. Maybe Obi Wan takes a puff or two. Or, maybe Snoop is a Jedi Knight!

I just don't know what to make of this.
I think the real fans, fanatical as they are, will complain and blog till their fingers bleed and still watch it.
For me it's gonna be more for a lazy sunday afternoon when I need brainless entertainment.
I am a Star Wars fan. Growing up it was GI Joe or Batman (with a lil Saved By the Bell) on TV and Star Wars or Indiana Jones in the VCR. I will say that I basically liked all of the Star Wars prequels. Episode 1 would have been great without Jar Jar and about 5 minutes of pod racing. (I understand the necessity of his character, but did he really have to be so annoying)? Episode 2 was not very good as far as dialogue and what the hell was with Obi Wan's mullet? That and the final battle scene (that you couldn't see) was pretty bad. Episode 3, with the exception of the "romantic" scenes was great. I do not think Hayden Christensen was that bad, and Ewan McGregor really became Kenobi in that film. All that being said I am not exactly on the bandwagon for this new animation yet. However after watching the trailer I will say that I will definitely see this opening day and for some reason I have a feeling it might actually be quite good. I dunno, we'll see.
Can someone please explain to me why everyone is allways on about jar jar? He was annoying yes, but not as annoying as that little kid with his WOOOHOOO.
You know, the kid is bad, but Jar Jar makes me wince. It's a toss-up for me as to which one is/was worse. Luckily I don't think we will ever see or hear of either of them ever again.
