As the Clone Wars sweep through the galaxy, the heroic Jedi Knights struggle to maintain order and restore peace. More and more systems are falling prey to the forces of the dark side as the Galactic Republic slips further and further under the sway of the Separatists and their never-ending droid army. Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano find themselves on a mission with far-reaching consequences, one that brings them face-to-face with crime lord Jabba the Hutt. But Count Dooku and his sinister agents, including the nefarious Asajj Ventress, will stop at nothing to ensure that Anakin and Ahsoka fail at their quest. Meanwhile, on the front lines of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda lead the massive clone army in a valiant effort to resist the forces of the dark side. |

 Star
Wars Is No Longer Epic! Nobody seems to be going crazy over this Star Wars installment. Such releases were epic events, but no longer. Actually this big screen episode was an afterthought while developing a weekly TV animated series. Josh Tyler of Cinema Blend correctly notes, “Star Wars as a cartoon? Why not. The past two movies were almost entirely animated anyway. The only thing real in Revenge of the Sith were its handful of human actors, and even then they were mostly done with computer animation, except in close up shots.” But that’s the problem says Michael Rechtshaffen of the famed Hollywood Reporter.“The transition from live action to animation isn’t really all that dramatic -- and that’s part of the problem with the latest adventure.” Critics largely concur, it’s not all that dramatic. Even George Lukas is diminishing expectations that fans might have. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that “George Lucas said fans shouldn't get their hopes up about any future films that take the epic beyond the point of Darth Vader's death at the end of ‘Return of the Jedi.’ In other words, it ends with the Ewoks.” Perhaps
that is true in more ways than one. Star Wars ended with
the Ewoks.... |
