George Lucas didn't rape my childhood. I just want to make that statement clear, but anyways hey everyone Brandon here again with another review. Don't you worry the old reviews aren't replacing everything else on the site it is just at the moment. I just want to make sure everyone knows which Clone Wars I am going to be talking about. This is the 2008 movie that spawned the TV show, not the 2003 mini series. Now that little worm is outta the way lets discuss "everyone's" favorite Star Wars movie in the franchise. The plot that they would use for a pilot for the TV series is so pathetic it should've been a mid-season episode not a full feature length film. The plot is Jabba the Hutts kid has been kidnapped by the droid army and it is up to the Jedi to get him back safely. Now I don't know about the rest of you guys and girls out there but Star Wars has always been about a great conflict of some kind not just saving some gangsters wormling. Seriously all the really good Star Wars stories are this big conflicts that affect many lives. Now I know what you're thinking, "Well Brandon in the movie they say the Hutts control the Outer Rim and they need to help them to be able to move their troops." I say to you no they don't, all they need to do is be, "Hey we have a army of Clones if you don't want us to shut you down let us through." But I digress; the movie could've just focused on a epic battle or a new Sith, or how much moisture farmers fucking make I don't care just not Jedi babysitting service. Lets not forget how this movie is supposed to set up for a TV show so the plot ends with no real resolution and no beaten antagonist. Literally nothing happened and it bugged the shit out of me. The animation isn't terrible, nor is it pixar quality. I do agree they make them look a lot more like toys than ever before, but George loves them toy sales so can you blame him. One of the saving graces to this movie is the battles. Now the battle have no real parel in them for any speaking characters but they are fun to watch. It is nice to see some battles take place in the Clone Wars timeline and the death toll is pretty damn big, which I can appreciate. The voice acting overall is pretty damn good. Matt Lanter voices Anakin and he sounds way less whiny than Hayden Christensen. Matt has been is some bad movies but he is for the most part a voice acting veteran in kids TV. James Arnold Taylor voices Obi-wan and he is amazing at that. The guy damn near sounds like Ewan Mcgregor I had to look it up to see if it was him or not. This guy has voice acted in so many things it's not even funny. He is a BAMF in the voice acting business look his IMDB up and see if he voiced something you liked. Last is Ashley Eckstein who voices Ahsoka; Anakin's new apprentice. I don't blame her for her character being annoying; I blame the writers. She is supposed to be this spunky kid for a younger audience, and that is the worst thing to make a Jedi. Padawan or not no one who has trained their whole life to be a Jedi acts like a bratty teen. Isn't that the whole part of the discipline, before becoming a Padawan? Her character is the worst in this movie and brings it down a whole score in the rating. In the end this is probably my least favorite Star Wars movie to have had ever come out. They should've picked a better overall plot and made the Ahsoka character less punchable. I cannot recommend anyone watch this even on Netflix. Watch the show it is much, much better. I give this a 2/5 it has few redeeming qualities but not enough for a passing score. Let the force guide you my fellow moviegoers to a better film.
