Star Wars-The Clone Wars

This isn’t your Uncle Owen’s Clone Wars Story!
I’d heard the reviews from the critics, and read about the movie on the website. I know there’s a cartoon that will start next month that this movie sets up. I realize the movie introduces us to a new character-Ahsoka, Anakin’s new padawaan. I know it’s a Star Wars film that Lucas produced, but I can’t help but feel disappointed in some way-not like Obi-Wan when he saw the video records of Anakin slaughtering younglings-but more like when Yoda thought Luke was going to lift the fighter out of the bog, and then it sank back down.

This movie has several flaws-not the least and most obvious seems to be that the animation is not believable. Lucas could have done so much better with the animation. It’s not just a movie to introduce us to the cartoon TV series that will soon start. It’s a movie in the Star Wars genre and needs to be produced as such. I hope that the next animated film that Lucas produces will have a better script, better animation, and no holes in the story line please!

When did Anakin get promoted to master?

When does Yoda nearly force a padawaan on to a master to train?

All these question and more-are not answered in the movie!
