I quite fancy giving it a watch, not in a massive hurry though.

Bang on with this! As much as I'm a Star Wars fan, there isn't that much of a draw for me to rush out and see this. Maybe DVD.....or *whispers* download.

Yup, especially since the CW cartoon series was made by the same team as Samurai Jack. Genndy Tartakovsky is a genius in my eyes! 8-)


Tell me one thing. Is Mace WIndu every bit as beastly as he was in the cartoon?

I loved it.

It's a visual treat, and to be fair, how can big war scenes not be enetertaining fare. Yep, there's some shocking stuff in it;

Like the Battle Droids just being made to look like total utter geeks, absolutely humbled time and time again as a result of their absolute stupidity.

GAY the Hutt. Seriously... what the strawberry float was that all about.

Mace Windu being in it for mere seconds.

Im a huge Star Wars fan but this just did'nt do it for me. It's like a Star Wars film designed totaly for kids, the dialouge, the new padawan (hopefully we get to kill her as StarKiller in ForceUnleashed) everything was just really kiddy. The lack of actual Star Wars music other than a tiny little bit of it in one place was also disapointing. Nope i just didn't like it, and i find it hard to say that given my love of Star Wars. Dont bother with it.

I intend to see it purely because I love Star Wars and I'm curious but the feedback its getting across the board isn't too encouraging. I wish they'd hurry up and get on with the Live Action series, hopefully that won't be a total let down.

The art style looks nice. I don't think I'll see it at the cinema but I may buy the DVD. Unless it really is as bad as some of you are saying.

I'm a Star Wars fan, but the trailers I've seen for this haven't really impressed me. As Jaxley pointed out, it does look very much orientated towards kids. I doubt I'll bother going to see it.

Caught the film tonight. Wasn't expecting too much and wasn't dissappointed.

Quality of animation was good, it followed the Clone Wars cartoons style (Samurai Jack) to some degree. Initially thought the characters were moving like Thunderbird characters but it settled down after a while and I thought some of the scenes were reasonably well produced (some decent action sequences)

Story was poor, and it was aimed for kids but as a result was very fast paced and the film didn't seem too lengthy. There will be a few annoying niggles for any die hard Star Wars fan.

Overall, it was ok. G rating 2.5/3 out of 5.

If you're a Star Wars fan and don't have high expectations then fine. If you're not a Star Wars fan then it's not worth watching.
