Product Description
-------------------
In Star Wars - The Clone Wars, 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: The Clone Wars is the 2008 CGI-animated theatrical
film that serves as the kick-off to the weekly animated Clone
Wars TV series. The concept came about way back in 1977's
original Star Wars film, when Leia says in her message to Obi-Wan
Kenobi "Years ago, you served my her in the Clone Wars."
Initially a simple offhand reference that would reveal Luke's
past, the phrase captured fans' attentions for years, until
Episode II: Attack of the Clones revealed just how the Clone Wars
figured into the battle between Republic and Empire.
The 2008 movie is full of familiar characters--Anakin Skywalker,
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Count Dooku--and a new one: Ahsoka Tano, a
young girl who has been made Anakin's Padawan. Together, the two
headstrong youths embark on a mission to rescue Jabba the Hutt's
kipped child, battling each other as much as they battle the
Separatist forces. There are some good sequences, including duels
with Dooku and his assassin, Asajj Ventress, and it's interesting
to see some new corners of the Star Wars universe, such as the
seamy underbelly of Coruscant. But Ahsoka and her penchant for
nicknames that are too cute to stomach seem ed only at
tween-age audiences, and for all that goes on in the movie,
nothing really happens in the end. The 2003 animated Clone Wars
micro-series, which had the advantage of being directly tied into
the live-action film series, had much more emotional bite.
At least some familiar voices return: Samuel L. Jackson (Mace
Windu), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO, and still the only actor in every
movie), Christopher Lee (Dooku). Other voices include Matt Lanter
(Anakin), Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka), and James Arnold Taylor
(Obi-Wan). But even the traditional opening crawl has been
replaced by a narration more suited for Starship Troopers.
Veteran Star Wars fans will probably want to see The Clone
Wars--once--but it won't take them long to discover that this
Star Wars isn't theirs any more. --David Horiuchi
