Now in review: Star Wars the Clone Wars

First, let me say: GAAAAAAAGH. First Ewoks, next Jar Jar, now this crap? You’ve gotta be kidding me. The animated characters appear eerie. The clones are a cross between redshirts, greenshirts, and spear carriers. The characters are pathetic and stereotipical, and there are large amounts of violence. Clones get their heads shot off, they get punched through the organs, they get used as cannon fodder. Honsestly. There really isnt any plot. They butchered the Star Wars music. Instead of the original Star Wars theme, they put in some weird electric gutairs, and instead of the opening crawl, they have some weird 1970s sport announcer. The addition of Ashoka Tano, a whiny little Padawan twit, and the downplaying of Anakin’s maturity combine to make an onslaught of pure whine. The battles, while the special effects are decent, all seem the same. Slash, slash, some droids fire lasers, slash again. They add in some slug-like baby thing, beloning to Jabba the Hutt. All in all, they butchered Star Wars. The death throes began in the prequels, but this was the killing blow. Rating: 2
