Star Wars: The Clone Wars

George Lucas has always stated that the “Star Wars” movies were aimed primarily at kids. “Stars Wars: The Clone Wars” tests this theory to full effect. Older moviegoers might grow restless at times at the proceedings in this animated film, but the younger demographic should enjoy it at face value.

The story picks up between “Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones” and “Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith”. The Clone Wars are in full effect. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi are leading a clone army for the Galatic Republic against the Separatists and their droids. They are soon joined by a Torguta Padawan Jedi by the name of Ahsoka Tano. She was sent by Yoda to train under Anakin. Anakin is not pleased by this and so starts an uneasy partnership between the two. The bickering between the two is fun at times and other times a bit annoying.

Meanwhile, the nefarious Jabba the Hutt’s son is kidnapped. Jabba holds the key to the success of the Republic. He controls access to strategic shipping lanes. Yoda sends Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan on a mission to rescue Jabba’s young son and bring me back to Jabba. That is the main thrust of the movie. It is simplistic, but thankfully clear of some of political psycho babble that plagued the prequels.

Most of the voices in the film are done by unknown actors. The only original voices are done by Samuel Jackson (Mace Windu), Christopher Lee (Count Dooku) and Anthony Daniels (C-3PO). Lee is a big asset to the movie with his commanding voice. Frank Oz is however missed as the voice of Yoda. Dooku sends Asajj Ventress out to get in the way of the rescue. She has a few good light saber duels to liven things up...read the whole review!
