Wow. What a way to leave a sour taste in one's mouth when completing a run of Star Wars films.
Serving as sort of like a "further adventures of...", The Clone Wars is a CGI animated film that's set during the "prequel" days.
Directed by Dave Filoni (Avatar: The Last Airbender), the film makes you realize just how much of a creative spark Lucas added to his lacklustre prequel films. It might have some interesting character designs that are pretty reminiscent of the old Thunderbirds marionettes but the dialogue is outrageously bland, the action scenes have no soul to them and the whole set-up is frustratingly annoying. As a Saturday morning cartoon it might work, as a feature film it's an insult to movie-goers.

Thomas was much more favorable to it over on the box. :laugh:
Bland and no soul could be said about a lot of Star Wars properties of late.
I completely forget he Nutted it on The Box. I should link it here.
I think this was one of those "you don't know what you're missing until it's gone" situations. Without Lucas the action sequences were below par with "meh". At least Lucas had some sort childish imagination to his "prequel" films that were fun.
To be honest, I've seen a few eps of the series that I quite enjoyed.
