Now it's Quint's turn to give his thoughts on THE CLONE WARS!

Star Wars needs to go away for awhile by KnightShift	Aug 15th, 2008 05:48:15 AM
It's become like Star Trek did: the field has been planted too damned many times. Let it drop out of sight for awhile, and replenish the nutrients.
Cloned Wars: All Lucased Up! by TheJake	Aug 15th, 2008 05:48:53 AM
The Clone Wars cartoon was TOO good... so Lucas had to come in and add some lame dialogue and fart jokes.
the movie franchise is dead : its all in the gaming now by Mr_X	Aug 15th, 2008 05:58:35 AM
the startrek MMORPG universe is going online. wait until the star wars universe does the same thing.lucas has painted himself in a corner with the movies,
Ten years ago I never would've predicted... by Finding Forrestal	Aug 15th, 2008 06:11:36 AM
...that I'd willingly opt out of seeing a new Star Wars film. It just goes to show you how royally Lucas fucked up his legacy.
YB, I believe it was Mori who pointed out... by Finding Forrestal	Aug 15th, 2008 06:18:22 AM
...that it was like watching a "real world" film in which there were tons of shots of people parking cars, pulling into garages, etc. I never thought of it like that until he brought it up and now I can't look past it. Seriously, what the fuck was Lucas thinking?

Characters fates known in a prequel... by Desmondo	Aug 15th, 2008 06:25:31 AM
Sure, we know Anakin and Padme, etc won't die, but isn't this the case with most prequels? We know characters fates, we just want to know their backstory. When The Hobbit comes out is it valid to rip on it because we know Bilbo, Gandalf etc aren't going to get killed by the big dragon?
R.I.P Star Wars by Captain RawBeard	Aug 15th, 2008 06:25:49 AM
Star Wars is dead to me. 1977 - 1999. my thoughts go out to all the fans who lost that something special.
waaaah curses by roxyprime	Aug 15th, 2008 06:26:25 AM
i really know it will suck, but i still want to see it....like i know i will buy the blu-rays of OT once they come out. damn you lucas....i don't want to give him a dime...but but but my star wars geekery is too overpowering. i can't believe that they have done more crappy hutts though, i mean after the extra special edition jabba was SOOOooo well recieved!! hah hah hah he stamped on his tail...oh just shoot me!
Zzzzzz by Dr Eric Vornoff	Aug 15th, 2008 06:27:45 AM
Really, does anybody give a rat's ass about Star Wars anymore? Granted, I was only ever a casual fan of the OT but the thought of watching anymore of Lucas' boring twaddle fills me with the kind of loathing that usually only an impending Scriptgirl talkback can bring on.
Lucas Wars, The Phantom Chin by Nice Mr Death	Aug 15th, 2008 06:27:58 AM
Where George has to search for his missing chin. It's just one long neck!
it's safe to say liking the prequels is a character flaw by IndustryKiller!	Aug 15th, 2008 06:30:26 AM
At this point, since the arguments against them are now definitive and havent ever been properly challenged, that if you are still on board with the Prequels one of two things is happening, either you're a simpleton or your love for the OT has clouded you completely to the point that nothing you say on the subject of star wars can be taken seriously or tolerated in meaningful conversation. It amazes me that anyone who claims to "love" star wars and therefore the Prequels can be blind enough to disregard that they are actively championing the wholesale bastardization of everything that ever made star wars beautiful.
I don't get it. by weebay	Aug 15th, 2008 06:30:26 AM
Why does Lucas keep telling the same story over and over again. We already know about the Clone Wars. We know how it ends. Move the @!# on!

Be careful Quint! by afraidoffans	Aug 15th, 2008 06:42:22 AM
According to Mori and some of the TB's who believe him, Lucas takes bad reviews of his work on AICN very personally indeed. There could be embargos, Skywalker visitation rights removed and Stormtroopers going around to your house and sticking a blaster up your night dress if you're not careful!
There's something about Star Wars that makes directors turn out by geraldbeans	Aug 15th, 2008 06:48:28 AM
I mean seriously. I was watching the extended preview for The Force Unleashed, and listened while the director passionately described his "awesome" idea for when Darth Vadar goes searching for someone, and then walks into a room, has his lightsaber whisked away from him - then turns around to see who took it and finds out... IT WAS BY A FUCKING BABY! A baby stole Darth Vadar's lightsaber!!! Undermining the power of the greatest bad guy in history by having a fucking baby in a video game steal his lightsaber is awesome... how??
War is Hell by Mr Gorilla	Aug 15th, 2008 06:51:20 AM
I've said this before but I'll say it again. One thing I liked about the prequels is that, in Eps 2 and 3 anyway, the battles were HORRIBLE. People got killed, it was nasty stuff. That shit at the end of Clones and beginning of Sith was too intense to be funny. And it made me think how seriously Lucas was taking it. His battle scenes are exiting but never 'fun' - apart from the two worst entries, 1 (gungans doing silent film routines in mid-battle) and 6 (everyone making jokes throughout, forgetting that this is the crucial battle that the whole thing has been leading up to). OK, now. All that being said: WHY THE HELL IS LUCAS PUTTING OUT A FILM THAT'S BY ALL ACCOUNTS 90% ACTION, AND MAKING IT A 'FUN' THING FOR KIDS???? What the HEYLL???
In writing that post, I discovered what I hate about Eps 1 and 6 by Mr Gorilla	Aug 15th, 2008 06:53:29 AM
They make out war to be fun, to be funny, to be a joke.
That's about what I expected. by rbatty024	Aug 15th, 2008 06:53:48 AM
I was telling myself I would see this movie just because I love the Star Wars universe, even if I dislike (to put it kindly) the prequels. Unfortunately, after this review I think I'm just going to stay away. Maybe I'll catch this on television.
My 3-year old Loves SW. I'm hope it keeps his attention. by Alice Cooper Stalker	Aug 15th, 2008 07:02:14 AM
Quint, thanks for the observation about how the kids in the audience we reacting. It's just as I expect my kid to react. I'm gonna have to bring some fruit chews into the theater to get my kid to sit still during the poltical speeches. Drats!!
Hate to say this... by Gungan Slayer	Aug 15th, 2008 07:10:17 AM
But I wasn' expecting this movie to be that good in a way, shape of form. I knew it was going to suck, but now that I know it does indeed suck it's like I'm depressed or something. As I type this, my Return of the Jedi: Special Edition poster stands above me. My Clear and Present Danger one sheet poster is to my right, and an X-Files 2 and Kite Runner poster stand to my left.
STOP FUNDING LUCAS! by romanocc	Aug 15th, 2008 07:16:42 AM
Come on guys, this is pure shit, I saw a special on The Clone Wars on G4 last night. The only people I can see going to this are parents with kids under 10 years old, but any guy who over the age of 18 and goes see this deserves all they get now in the SW universe, more shit. If this movie tanks, Lucas will finally realize that SW fans want quality, but if it makes a zillion dollars this weekend, then he will keep churning out and wont think twice. Send Lucas a message, if you put out shit, we won't come.
What really kills Star Wars is... by alienindisguise	Aug 15th, 2008 07:39:06 AM
the seemingly limited vocabulary in that universe. That's what makes the characters wooden. But Lucas has never given respect to the written word which is way the last decade of Star Wars has sucked balls
Hellboy 2 is meh WARNING spoilers by semisaj	Aug 15th, 2008 07:39:34 AM
Watched it last night..I'm sorry to say it was slightly bland. Don't know where to start on this. Some of the sets are terrible especially the Troll Market...it does actually look like a set, like its being filmed in studio. The jokes are unfunny there is one crappy joke that made me want to punch the screen. A baby is attached to another being (a blatant rip off from a character from Total Recall) and it says its a tumour...get fucked. Then there is a scene that is basically a rip off from a John Woo Movie (Hard Boiled) with Hellboy carrying a baby through an action sequence..it is crap honestly it bored the shit out of me. Abe's choices he makes over love are just crap and don't make sense for how his character has been established in the other movie and in this one..it just feels tacked on for the sake of making his character have something different to do. From the moment we find out that Prince Nuada (the main bad guy) and his twin sister Princess Nuala have got a major connection that equals if one is hurt the other feels it, we know that one killing the other is the way that this film will end for them. Terrible film directed badly, acted well. some really dodgy CGI and the fight scenes are as bad as Blade 2...especially Hellboy hiding between all the cogs when he faces off against Nuada...as for the Golden Army they dont really do anything in the film...I think we may have problems for the Hobbit
Star Wars MMORPG by Pageiv	Aug 15th, 2008 07:40:49 AM
It's already out, I used to play it until a commitee decided it would be better without non-combat jobs. The mjor fault I had with the prequals, though liked them as a whole, was that it seemed he tried to please everyone, give everyone something he or she would like, in the end no one was completely satisfied, much like in politics, and sex.
I remember back in the early days of Star Wars by jae683	Aug 15th, 2008 07:44:38 AM
and Lucas gave an interview (to who I can't exactly remember) and he basically said that he wanted to create an American Mysthology. In a sense, that's exactly what he did with the orginal Star Wars trilogy. Somewhere along the line, though, he lost sight of that and started marketing these movies to kids. Darth Vadar/Anakin should have been a tragidy. What a waste of a story-line. What a waste of a great set-up. Ah, well.
I bathe in the tears of Lucas by Nabster	Aug 15th, 2008 07:49:11 AM

Someone said it in one of the other TB's... by jimmy rabbitte	Aug 15th, 2008 07:49:27 AM
...Why don't they just use the arc from the three Timothy Zahn novels, from the early 90's? There are some very good characters in those books (Thrawn and C'Baoth for starters, not to mention the introduction of Mara Jade); and the story arc is better than the prequels.

have the connection to actually get the Bearded one onto this site and actually talk to us? Our questions could be entirely mediated, like the ones forwarded to Stallone. I would trust in Harry that some really crucifying, incontrovertibly hard-hitting stormers would slip through among the mandatory obsequious bullshit that Lucasfilm PR would insist George be handed. In the spirit of this, I will pitch two to get this started - the first will be all nice like - worthy of Rick 'Yes George, No George, Three Bags Full George' McCallum himself: George - thanks for the OT: It was special. Blessings upon your head. George: Why? Why, oh why, God WHY??? You're raping my (etc etc)
Brad Bird and Andrew Stanton by Cysquatch	Aug 15th, 2008 08:14:39 AM
wouldnt lower themselves to work on this now embarrassing franchise. Thats like willingly going from the major leagues to the minor leagues. Star Wars needs to be out to pasture.

Star Wars died a long time ago in a Galaxy we live in by spiral115	Aug 15th, 2008 08:40:16 AM
The fact is George Lucas got old. It happens. You get old and you wonder why it is more and more difficult to understand the young people around you. Yeah, some of the motivations are the same (we are all homo sapiens) but the environment around us really does mold us to some extent. The world move on and Lucas did not. To his credit he brought in new folks to try and breath life into a something that he could no longer grasp. He wanted to speak to the audience, but the audience is all about American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, and wanting to look"hawt". We live in a culture that no longer values intellect. We live in a culture that is all about "ME". The idea of sacrifice means that your hero may not be around for you to take fashion tips off of. The culture has changed. Star Wars (the original one) really does not speak to the "ME-ness" of now. There are toys to sell, cute sound bytes to digest. Who needs substance? Star Wars is from a galaxy far far away and only a few can understand that ancient culture.
I sense Harry and Quint watched a unique version of Genndy's Clo by NinjaRap	Aug 15th, 2008 08:45:57 AM
The clear giveaway is when Quint says "Why wasn’t this character work in the movies?" Because anyone who's ever seen Genndy's Clone Wars knows that there was no character work at all in those damn things.
Thank You! by RobotDevil007	Aug 15th, 2008 08:54:30 AM
I hate it when defenders say "my kid loved it". The original tirilogy was beloved by people of all ages (Im giving Jedi a pass here, but yeah, i know). The prequels and this new schmeg are pure kiddie fare... aimed at the same audience that would be completely entertained by fart noises.

Lucas was done creatively after Raiders (1981) by Dick Bahls	Aug 15th, 2008 09:12:06 AM
I wish everyone who's still complaining about Lucas would wake up and realize he hasn't done anything that was really good since Raiders. Right after that his wife cheated on him & left him for some other dude. That may have had a great impact on him, as from that point on he was only interested in developing the technology side of films, and it shows. Clone Wars should not be seen by anyone over the age of 12, unless you're bringing your kid. Get lives, and stop complaing about the obvious. You all should have jumped down Lucas' goitered neck back in '83 when he almost practically ruined Jedi. Next time you assholes are at a convention, if you want to do something about all this, and you see that little troll Lucas sends around to push his toys, Steven Sanshit, heckle him while he's talking about taking your money for this overpriced replica crap, and tell him to go fuck himself.
FOUR reviews of this crap? by Mockingbird Girl	Aug 15th, 2008 09:14:48 AM
Wise up, guys. A more sensible way to respond to this embargo would have been to not review it AT ALL rather than quadrupling the coverage.
With you every step of the way Quint! by andyman3000	Aug 15th, 2008 09:21:58 AM
George Lucas doesn't have the heart of Star Wars as he once did, he's a freackin' billionaire and I genuinly feel that the whole process in just a money making scheme. He's exploiting the franchise. I for one would not like the Star Wars sega to end but bringing an animated version to the big screen is just plain wrong.
The only way the live action TV show won't suck... by zacdilone	Aug 15th, 2008 10:06:49 AM
...will be if Lucas keeps his hands off of it and if it's set between the prequels and the original trilogy.
Why is anyone taking this film seriously, anyway? by BenBraddock	Aug 15th, 2008 10:19:57 AM
I mean come on! It's a purely commercial excercise, what did anyone expect? Especially after eps 1-3.
On the subject of "getting lives" by Bluejack	Aug 15th, 2008 10:20:06 AM
The irony is near infinate when a talk-backer is telling folks to "get lives" when they are spending at least a small portion of their lives bitching on AICN. People have been invested in fictional characters since Gilgamesh, Jesus and the Buddha, why should it be any different now? that being said I agree with D.B. that RotJ was nigh ruined by Ewoks. I think the genius(hyperbole) of "The Clone Wars" shorts was the effective characterization in a short period of time with excellent facial expression and nuance. Lucas DOES need to put SW on the shelf. He IS ruining his legacy. Darth Vader is iconic, though. I'm not sure even Lucas could fuck up Vader place on the Mount Rushmore of Evil.
More Star Wars please!!!!!!!!!!! by j2talk	Aug 15th, 2008 10:29:33 AM
At the end of the day, good review or bad, I'll be seeing the movie. I am in the camp that says any Star Wars is better than no Star Wars....there have always been issues-some minor, some major-with the various films- not mention the novels and comics-but for the most part the overall story has been enjoyable and worth seeing, reading and sharing with my children the real problem with the Star Wars prequels and the clone wars is not what they were but what fans wanted them to be.... I mean I am still hoping to see Han Solo's Revenge and Han Solo at Stars'End on the big screen.... Fans have had so many visions of what they wanted to see NOTHING could have lived up to the expectations...me? i enjoyed the films and the final 30 min of ROTS gave me what I had been waiting for since '79 and it was first mentioned that Darth Vader fell into a lava pit battling Ben Kenobi and thats why he wwas in that suit.....
Okay....I know this sounds horrible but I'm being serious here.. by The Eskimo	Aug 15th, 2008 10:45:46 AM
...when Lucas dies, who gets the rights to this stuff. The studio, shareholders, children (I guess he has kids)? I mean, I think we all agree that a large part of the problem is that Lucas is too hands-on micro managing of the SW universe, but maybe there is a "new hope" for another generation to see this franchise revived. Or will Lucas take it to his grave?
Live Action by dapaschad	Aug 15th, 2008 10:52:09 AM
Did anyone see that ugly quote by Lucas that the liveaction TV series will show us 'the empire's entertainment industry'? It's in the DarkHorizons 'look at Clone Wars'. It made me cringe: it was my final hope for something cool coming out of all this post-OT mess.

Merchandising by Ko-Dan_Mothership	Aug 15th, 2008 11:41:36 AM
Why do people buy shit? Why do they purchase collectables, like posters and plastic statues? Don't get me wrong, I love the original trilogy. . . and I still pop them in to the VCR from time to time. But seriously. . . the last time I desired a Star Wars TOY, I was probably 11 years old. Would anyone on this site really like to tackle th elephant in the room,you know. . .the one every review on this site feeds and feeds. . . you want to talk about mercahndising? Lets examine the shelves of stupid plastic crap in your house and look in the mirror for a sec? Can we piece together some more reasons behind Lucas' creative bankrupcy? Hmmm . . .
RE: Okay....I know this sounds horrible but I'm being serious he by GalacticWar	Aug 15th, 2008 11:49:53 AM
I hope that if I ever create anything that, people claim to love so much that they think it's their god given right to tell me how I'm supposed to do it, that I can take it to my grave. The main problem is that you always have a vision of what you want in your head, but so does everybody else who loves it. As such, do you stay true to yourself as Lucas has done or do you go out of your way to please everyone else. Both lead into inevitable backlash.
"Oh, it's just a [blank] movie" and why that's BS... by Darth Macchio	Aug 15th, 2008 12:11:27 PM
Is because, in my case if not most of us here I would think, we happen to like or even love "kids" movies. Whether we take our kids and secretly enjoy the better fare out there or we specifically seek them out sans children makes no difference. I don't give an assrat about that bullshit attitude people take when someone else enjoys something they deem as silly. Be it movies or table-top games or anything else self professed "geeks" condemn other geeks for on AICN! (which is so stupid as to be precious comedy gold!) If you are actually going to ridicule someone for their opinion then look to thine own self for the fool first as no one gives a shit if you think filmgoer-A loves kids movies but happens to be over 50 or whatever. Same thing for the "it's only a summer pop corn movie! what do you expect?!", umm....how about Aliens or Die-Hard or Predator which, as many have mentioned, we're ALSO summer pop-corn films which happened to also be totally kick ass movies on many levels (not just action or effects). Some kid's movies suck...some are pure art nearing the realm of genius (most of Bird's work) and to miss out on these brilliant films for some pretentious "I'm an adult and thus am not allowed to enjoy something dedicated to kids because people I don't know might make fun of me" bullshit. Shit...just read that line back to yourself if you think it's a real issue and then ask yourself if the person who does think you're weird or a 'nerd' for enjoying Willie Wonka or The Secret of Nimh, or playing some table top fantasy game is really just a cynical asshole filled with obsessive and scathing self-loathing who's only release is to ridicule others in a pathetic attempt at dime-store psychology transference. That said, even if Clone Wars is specifically a 'kids' movie it does not mean it is above reproach nor that it deserve extra ground stomping. I also love Star Wars...saw the first one in the theater in '78 (I think) down in Miami and was hooked from that moment...I don't love to hate this new shit but it is not me being older that makes it suck...it sucks quite badly all on its own.
Eww... by Teddy Artery	Aug 15th, 2008 01:14:44 PM
Lucas lost all sense of coherence after his kids were born and he took a long break from filmmaking. He had his priorities straight, but his chops were... uh, "chopped".
Ventress by vadakinX	Aug 15th, 2008 01:36:41 PM
Just want to correct a mistake in your review Quint. The Ventress duel in the movie happens AFTER the duel in the original Clone Wars shorts...in the original duel, Anakin was a Padawan. In the movie, he's a Knight. The duel from the shorts is even mentioned when Dooku and Ventress talk about her having revenge. Also, I liked the movie...it was a fun ride. Yes it's for kids but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

If there are children only version of "Bugs Bunny" and "Superman by Bob Cryptonight	Aug 15th, 2008 07:23:17 PM
...why can't there be a kiddie version of the STAR WARS universe? It's obvious that CLONE WARS is aimed at children ONLY. So what? If you can have Batman and Scooby Doo in a cartoon together, AND have THE DARK KNIGHT...can't Georgie try and rake in more money with a kids-only Star Wars flick? When I saw CLONE WARS, the kids in the theater LOVED it (even as I was struggling to stay awake). Yes, the movie is boring and lame...but so was THE SUPER FRIENDS cartoon in the 70s and those characters seem to have survived that.

It ruined the rest of the trilogy for me cause I couldn't stop looking for the lame aspects.

My first child is 3 months in the womb . . by Ko-Dan_Mothership	Aug 16th, 2008 05:33:22 PM
So by the time he/she's five years old, Star Wars should finally be dead and buried. No need for me to take them to see another sack of crap like Clone Wars. . . nor will I have to spend an extra few hundred dollars on made-in-china plastic crap, overpriced because it says "Star Wars" on the packaging. I guess we'll have other battles to fight by then. . . sigh what a culture. . .

Re: benditlikelucas "Jedi Question" by MrGonev5	Aug 17th, 2008 03:07:44 PM
"Am I wrong, or wasn't it established that only a Jedi Master can have an apprentice? If that's so, is this yet another plot-point that Lucas is conveniently throwing out the window?" I believe it was mentioned that usualy, only a Master can take on Padawan. Knights usually can't take on a Padawan, but sometimes do under special circumstances, like Obi-Wan training Anakin. I want to say this is mentioned in fiction somewhere, but I'll be damned if I know where.
