You know I think I’ll put the Molotov Cocktails away for now. I agree with everything you said, anyway fanboys were predisposed to hate this movie in the first place. I for one think all of it is much easier to swallow as a full-on cartoon than 90 percent CGI with the occasional real life human in there.

Here is where you will DISagree with me and I will lose all of my audience. I actually had fun in the Clone Wars movie. Yeah, I had a great time and liked the movie. Here’s why – I was sitting with my six (then five) year old and HE LOVED IT!!! Every cheesy fart joke, every obvious pandering to the masses minute of it. He laughed when he was supposed to, he got scared when he was supposed to, he fell in love with Capt. Rex like he was supposed to, etc. etc. I think it was when we met the Ziro the Hutt (he of the Truman Capote lisp) that part of me finally realized that, yeah, Lucas is making this for kids. Not for me. Just like Dragonball or any other Saturday cartoon – “I” am not the intended audience. I am merely the deep pockets willing to facilitate my child’s obsessions, just as my mother was nothing more than an open purse in the toy aisle. It does suck, if only because it means I’m getting wat too old, but when taken into perspective I could sit back and enjoy it all through my son’s eyes. Hey, I’m just being honest.

Agreed on the Clone Wars series. Yes it was borne out of an atrocity of a movie. But one can’t deny the pure fun. New races, new characters (of which some of are dubious quality)and overall fun.
