Just when you thought you woudn't wear Jedi Robes to the Theatre again...
Just when you thought you wouldn't be wearing your Jedi robes to a movie theater again comes the big news about Star Wars: The Clone Wars. A new era in Star Wars entertainment begins as the all new computer-generated adventures of Jedi and clone heroes debuts on the big screen before arriving on television. North American fans can circle August 15th as the day Star Wars returns to theaters in a brand new, feature-length animated style. Then, in the fall, the television series from Lucasfilm Animation will premiere on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT. For more details about this new partnership and release, see the original announcement here .

This looks good too. At least this time they're not trying to make things look real. They need to bring back General Grievous in his totally awesome kickass form from the Clone Wars series.
And yes! No Hayden Christensen! He single handedly ruined the new trilogy.

I think he was a bit too young when they got him...
not only that, but I think Lucas made the wrong Episode 2 .... it should've been "the clone wars" not "attack of the clones in the last 10 minutes of this movie"
Episode 3 was hurt with the over the top computer renders on the volcanic planet in that final fight...
the original starwars flopped in test audiences under Lucas' editing direction... and quickly hired somebody else to cut the film... which is now history... Episode V and VI were not directed by Lucas....
TBH, I don't think he is that good of a director... but a great 'story teller' ... perhaps the best of our time.
Additionally, when the actors have such little interaction with the environment around them... it is not easy to act as if 10,000 things that aren't around you are.... the kiss of death from 95% filmiing in a Green-Screen "chroma key" ...
What I don't like right now off of this film is Anikan's Padawan... maybe i'll be convinced when i see it...

I have been saying that for many years. Lucas is a terrible director, but has an amazing vision. He has even admitted it in not so many words.

The light-saber fight at the end of Episode 1 makes up for the lackluster episode 1,2,3's "suck assing"

Fo sho. I thought Episode I was the least offensive. Darth Maul kicked ass. Not very surprising if you knew that he was played by a Kung Fu fighting Scotsman.
Kinda off topic, here's a desk fit for a true hardcore Star Wars fan.

true, but if you enjoy looking at a face of agony each and every day at work, i don't know... maybe somethings wrong with you then?
to me it's more like a piece of art, a sculpture that belongs in a museum, not a piece of furniture

^It's a one off. If you're disturbed about the table, you could try something less crazy, like an R2-D2 beanie?
