It only shows in 5 minute "micro" episodes each day. The animation really suck and I am surprised George lucas would allow this.  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 04-10-2004 09:49 AM                        Yes, I've been watching these. In fact, this evening (Saturday) the Cartoon Network will rerun the entire 20-chapter series for anyone who's curious. It's kind of a goofy schedule. They'll run five chapters in a 30-minute block (including commercials) and then some other program for 30 minutes, followed by another 5 chapters of Clone Wars, etc. I'm not a big fan of animation in general, so I can't really say whether this is good or bad animation. I thought the style of Clone Wars was a refreshing change from the look and feel of the Star Wars movie "prequels." Some of the action sequences are pretty spectacular, and I try to think of how the same scenes would look if they were staged for a "live action" movie. But the biggest reason to enjoy the cartoon "micro-series" is how much the kids love it. There are a lot of kids around here and, when it comes to boys between the ages of 3 and 10, this series has hit its mark perfectly.  |  IP: Logged Chris Medley Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 04-10-2004 12:59 PM                        maybe thats George's goal...to get the under crowd into it...yeah they have the lego toys..but the said thing is I see more 35 year olds in K&B buying them than kids. I think it will do a lot for the next movie.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-10-2004 05:19 PM                        quote: There are a lot of kids around here Well, yeah!

George is all dried up. If I don't get paid to screen a print the day before Episode 3 opens, I will honestly never make the effort to see it.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-10-2004 09:26 PM                     I'm not watching it. I can't imagine tuning in for a 5 minute program and, besides, I haven't been enjoying any of the new Star Wars stuff -- including the allegedly "special" editions of the original trilogy. As for seeing Episode III, I will probably go and see it out of curiosity. Will George show the physical transformation from Anakin to Darth Vader? I'd also like to see how the first trilogy ends.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-10-2004 09:42 PM                        quote: Well, yeah!

Well Joe, as my spokesperson I need to take you out back and smack you up a bit. How dare you tell people what is really going on out here! Actually you are mostly correct. Utah has a per family child level of nearly 4, twice the level of the next highest state in regards to children per two person family. It is a real drain. I myself will not bother with episode three. I was so dejected from the matrix sequels, and after the agony I went through watching the Clones Attack, or whatever that piece of garbage was, I have little hope if any that the third installment will be any good. I just pop in the original and also empire and that does it for me. even return of the jedi was more entertaining than the last film.

I am not anti prequel but I have not been able to sit through either of them after the first time.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"
