Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 11/11/2008 Run time: 98 minutes Rating: Pg Amazon.com: Star Wars: The Clone Wars is the 2008 CGI-animated theatrical film that serves as the kick-off to the weekly animated Clone Wars TV series. The concept came about way back in 1977's original Star Wars film, when Leia says in her message to Obi-Wan Kenobi "Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars." Initially a simple offhand reference that would reveal Luke's past, the phrase captured fans' attentions for years, until Episode II: Attack of the Clones revealed just how the Clone Wars figured into the battle between Republic and Empire. The 2008 movie is full of familiar characters--Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Count Dooku--and a new one: Ahsoka Tano, a young girl who has been made Anakin's Padawan. Together, the two headstrong youths embark on a mission to rescue Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped child, battling each other as much as they battle the Separatist forces. There are some kind-of-cool sequences, including duels with Dooku and his assassin, Asajj Ventress, and it's interesting to see some new corners of the Star Wars universe, such as the seamy underbelly of Coruscant. But Ahsoka and her penchant for nicknames that are too cute to stomach seem aimed only at tween-age audiences, and for all that goes on in the movie, nothing really happens in the end. The 2003 animated Clone Wars microseries, which had the advantage of being directly tied into the live-action film series, had much more emotional bite. At least some familiar voices return: Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO, and still the only actor in every movie), Christopher Lee (Dooku). Other voices include Matt Lanter (Anakin), Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka), and James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan). But even the traditional opening crawl has been replaced by a narration more suited for Starship Troopers. Veteran Star Wars fans will probably want to see The Clone Wars--once--but it won't take them long to discover that this Star Wars isn't their Star Wars any more. --David Horiuchi Stills from Star Wars: The Clone Wars (click for larger image)

![]() Rating: - A Great Start for Youngsters, A Large Sandbox for FansIf you go into this new addition to the Star Wars universe with an open mind and a decent sense of the target demographic this movie was created for, you will undoubtedly have a great experience. I purchased this mainly for my 3 1/2 year old who absolutely loves all things Star Wars (much like his father!) and my expectations were that it was going to be a fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously. I was not disappointed and ended up loving the movie and the entirely new chapter of the Star Wars ... Read More Rating: - Star Wars: The Clone WarI gave this as a Xmas gift. The person who received it was thrilled. Rating: - A good startThe TV series is better than this movie but it is a great start to what I hope will redeem the franchise. I love being able to get the digital copy of the movie. Rating: - Never received the order, no e-mail response from seller!I never received this order. i emailed the seller twice, with no response either time. Amazon issued a refund. Rating: - Two short expected more movie footage.This is over priced for the short movie and special disc. The overall stories is excellent but I would have liked it to have a longer story. I would say weight until they release all of The Clone Wars series to DVD and then it would be worth the price. My son and daughter get this from Santa and just put it aside. I ask way and they said they seen it a couple of times on cartoon network and it only have the first part. Browse for similar items by category:
