Like the 2003 animated short films of the same name, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS reveals what happened during the conflicts of the title, which are set between EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES and EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH. Unlike the former series, this CLONE WARS feature film uses computer animation--rather than more traditional 2-D animation--to tell its tales. The action centres on Obi-Wan Kenobi (voiced by James Arnold Taylor), Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter), and precocious new Jedi recruit Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein), as they face off against the sinister Separatist forces led by Count Dooku (the legendary Christopher Lee, who reprises his role from the live-action movies). The film also features appearances by such beloved characters as Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson, also of EPISODES II and III), C3PO (Anthony Daniels), and Yoda (Tom Kane).
Directed by Dave Filoni (AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER), THE CLONE WARS shares the same era and characters as the 2003 series, but is stylistically quite different, with a blocky look influenced in part by the marionettes of the 1960s U.K. show THUNDERBIRDS. While the voices of actors such as Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christiansen, and Frank Oz are missed, their successors handle their mantles well, confidently leading the heroes in fierce battles and tense chases. Though diehards of the original STAR WARS trilogy may shrug their shoulders at the CGI wizardry, young fans will find much to enjoy in this action-packed movie, which promises to be continued in a regular Cartoon Network TV series.

My Love affair with Star Wars ends.

Wills2000 from , 19th February, 2009

This was the final nail in the coffin, I am now over Star Wars. With the majority of my generation I grew up loving the first 3 films of the late 70's, early 80's. Since then the only thing I can thank George Lucas for is letting me down gently with the gradual decline in quality of the 4 following installments. I reccommend watching this if you are a Star Wars fan, if only to ease the pain of letting go of ones youth. I am now fully grown up.

Clone Wars

A Customer from Surbiton, 18th January, 2009

What can I say - makes Phantom Menace look like a masterpiece. All I can say is - WHY? And the fact that they are making a series in the same style as this - give it up Lucas - what a joke. Zero the Hut - camped up wrongness - and Jabba's son - oh...my....god - could it get much worse than this. I love Star Wars - and even found some good points about the prequels - but this just takes the biscuit - enough already.

Not sure about this one

A Customer from Manchester, England, 13th October, 2009

A cartoon Star Wars, whatever next. Actually this could have worked well but, as a big Star Wars fan, I really don't know what to make of this. I watched this film all of the way through....but I had to force myself! The force was with me, but not with this film. You may disagree.

It's a little bit more of Starwars

Ddobsy from from Winchester, 13th August, 2009

I really enjoyed this, while it's obviously for kids, it's all your favourite StarWars charactures. This doesn't rival the films in any way, while it does retain a Lucasfilm feel. The film is well placed and to be honest left me looking forward to renting the series. Anakin is definately more likeable, which for me is great. One for the kids, but hey, we grown ups don't have to take ourselves seriously do we.
