Star Wars: The Clone Wars

It wasn’t as awful as I was expecting, in fact I wasn’t bored for a minute, but this reworking of Star Wars really isn’t very pretty. What I would have given to see the fights in “real life". Little Jabba was quite funny and kids will certainly enjoy this series. Personally, I would rather wait for the classic one that is meant to be about Bob Fett. (31.10.2008)

At the time of its premiere, this served as a fond reminiscence of the recently finished new prequel trilogy; during the second viewing, which took place more or less at random about fifteen years later, it was much worse. The animation has not aged well, the development of familiar characters is limited by what we know about their present, future, and side intentions, and the first three quarters of the film are continuous, repetitive action. Between the constant shooting, jumping, flying, and falling, there is no time to catch a breath, and when the gloomy enemies meet for the umpteenth time and both leave alive and uninjured after a several-minute-long fight, I almost dozed off out of exhaustion. Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an endless source of stories, but this point of entry remains closed to me so far. (04.05.2023)

Wow, that's some ugly animation. Considering this was done by George Lucas' studio, from which one might expect more sophistication, especially in the visual effects department, this is quite disappointing. Besides the awkwardly choppy movements, the rendered faces are simply unpleasant. This is a classic rush job, where the studio is trying to make a quick profit. Yes, it's nice that it's set in the Star Wars universe and authorized, but that's about it. I like Star Wars, but not in animated form. (21.03.2014)
