Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Film Review

Forcethon Day III

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is directed by Dave Filoni and stars Matt Lanter, Ashley Eckstein, James Arnold Taylor, Dee Bradley Baker, Kevin Michael Richardson and Christopher Lee.

Plot
After the Republic's victory on Christophsis, Anakin (Matt Lanter) and his new apprentice Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein) rescue and try to the kidnapped son of Jabba the Hutt (Kevin Micheal Richardson) but Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) interferes.

Review
There's not really much about this movie to talk about, so this'll be short.

One thing I want to say is that this is not a movie, this is four episodes of the TV show merged together to make a movie.  George Lucas saw these episodes and wanted this to be a movie, but they had a small budget.

I also have never seen the Clone Wars TV show, I'm sure it's good and I have it saved on Netflix, but I'll get to it sometime.

Another thing about the TV show is that the chronology is way out of order, as the first episode chronology is all the way in season 2. Good thing on the Star Wars website they have a chronology guide, so I'll be using that when I start watching the show.

I know there is also a TV show from the early 2000's that's just called Star Wars: Clone Wars created by the guy who created Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack (is the latter any good btw?), but I haven't seen that show either.

About the movie, it's alright. The reason I chose this one is because I haven't seen it yet, and the reason I watched it today is because it's set between episodes II and III.

The cast isn't too bad, Matt Lanter is much better than Hayden Christensen, James Arnold Taylor is ok as Obi-Wan, (He also voiced Robin in the first Lego Batman game, despite it being just mumbles.) and the other actors aren't bad. Christopher Lee as Count Dooku is probably my favorite voice actor in here. Samuel L. Jackson has a small role as Mace Windu in it too.

I would go on but there really isn't much to talk about. Come back tomorrow for a review of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

6.5/10
