SW is still alive and kicking and with the success of the upcoming Clone Wars don't be surprised to see more animated flicks that fill in the gaps of Post- ROTS/Pre-A New Hope and so forth. Those will even be bigger hits then Clone Wars if they end up getting made, and that I'd like to see.
I personally can't get into the animated stuff, but i can't dispute the fact that it has it's fan base and will make money. LOTS...From an advertising standpoint alone, the midnight madness, all the Toys, toys, toys... it just continues to make boatloads of cash.
SW is a money machine and i just can't see them stopping after Clone Wars. |

Closes we'll see to more live-action, will be the upcoming SW live-action tv show, which is still some time away. Although, I read awhile back, Lucus has not ruled out letting someone do more live-action movies, but they would be be during the Knights of the Old Republic era or earlier. | |

| | Crimson Guard Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 1,229 | yeah I was at the store first thing in the morning to pick up all the new star wars figures. I believe I got a few duplicates. I also got all the joe comic packs I was looking for plus a few singles. that day I spent a little over two hundred bucks on just the star wars alone. And so did a whole bunch of other people. I'll see anything related to star wars and the clone wars movie is definitely another movie I'll be at the midnight showing for. I almost wanted to see a live action clone wars movie though, saying that they already had already made a cartoon series. the CG clips I've seen so far have already won me over. The 2010 live action series I hope will be really good. I just wish I could see some stuff on it. | |

I saw it today (2 hour download, wooo!).
I dont see the hate on the film. Its only slightly schitzo on the plot. It goes from war, to kidnapping, to Jedi vs Sith, to cutesy chase to.....what?
The pluses:
Hayden ISNT Anakin. THANK GOD.
Anakin isnt emo or angsty.
New Padawan and the first time a Padawan is mentioned in an SW media since Episode II
Rather snazzy Obi Wan vs Asajj scene
The minsues (word?):
Another plothole (Jabba meets everyone in episode IV-VI)
Obi Wan is rather arrogant.
Dooku is whooped by Anakin?!
No Yoda fights
No Mace Windu fights
Points of this movie are great, some are rather slow. Commander Cody and Captain Rex are nice additions.
4.0/5 | |

When Legos ar cheaper then an action figure toy....theyre overpriced. | |
