Nor Ozz as Yoda.

Instead of the crawls it has the guy from Starship Troopers ("Would you like to know more?" ) narrating the crawl info. 

Still, not as bad as the voice they used for Jabbas uncle.

[Reply #363 on:]

So I take it it isn't even worth seeing?

[Reply #364 on:]

Post Prequal cash in. Rent on DVD at best I expect.

So, when do we start putting dollar signs with Lucas?

Yes. Thats the joke.

Nothing better to do in work, little Paint.NET job.

And this one's from b3ta:

I finally saw the Clone Wars movie. I would rate it somewhere between "decent" and "pretty good". It is what it is--a pilot for a saturday-morning-cartoonified version of Star Wars.

If you are expecting something as epic as the movies, then you will be disappointed. But it's not as bad as the critics seem to be saying.

Jeff's advice: see it if you have kids, or if you are a super-nerdy Star Wars fan who feels compelled to see everything. If not, wait for the TV show which I am convinced will be awesome.

[Reply #367 on:]

Oh it will be, somebody other than Lucas will be directing it  .

Have they released any information at all about it yet?

[Reply #368 on:]

Not a whole lot, but here's what I've been able to gather so far:

-Many episodes will focus on non-main characters. (There's at least one Kit Fisto episode, one Plo Koon episode, and episodes devoted to clone regimens and stuff.) This will hopefully take care of any criticisms of "well we already know what happens to Obi-Wan/Anakin so there won't be any suspense".

-There will be 100 episodes.

-There will be "guest directors". For instance, some japanese guy I've never heard of is directing a General Grievous intro-episode in the first season.

-Veteran animation writers will be working on the show. Paul Dini has confirmed that he's written a few episodes.

-One episode featuring Yoda has already premiered at the most recent Television Critics Association thingy. The reaction was extremely positive. Just as an example, here's the LA Times report: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2008/07/tca-star-wars-t.html

There were a ton of other reviews/reports/things that basically said it was awesome.

[Reply #369 on:]

So wait, is it live action or Clone Wars 3D style?

I didn't like the saber style of fighting in the movie, it was way too cartoony fast.

[Reply #370 on:]

I'm pretty sure the live-action series is the bounty hunter one.

[Reply #371 on:]

The weekly series is the same 3D animation as in the movie.

I thought all of the lightsaber duels featuring that darkside chick were ridiculously lame. The character animation was way too stiff--I could have made a better looking duel with my action figures at home.

The Dooku duel was surprisingly tense, though.

[Reply #372 on:]

So the TV series is just Clone Wars but 3D?

So lame.

[Reply #373 on:]

There's going to be another series in a year or two that's live action. It's supposed to be much more serious and be mostly about the rise of the Empire and, as Nix said, bounty hunters. That's the one I'm waiting for.

[Reply #374 on:]

Crossing fingers waiting they dont screw the live action series

[Reply #375 on:]

Yeah, the live one better not suck. Star Wars has more to offer than just Jedi waving Lightsabers really fast.

 This 3D series could be at least set between the goddamn OT. I remember seeing some 3D promo Ackbar and Mon Mothma ages ago with some X-Wings...what happened to those?

That was just a fan made "concept" of what an animated 3D series sequell about the Thrawn trilogy could be (it cant be anything but frakking awesome).. just the teaser..

but a man can dream.... a man can dream

[Reply #377 on:]

Jedi are so frakkin cool.  They're like superheroes, except they're invinceable and they can bounce lazers off their light sabres.  I wish there was something in Star Wars that really got down to focusing how frakking badass the Jedi really were.... I mean seriously.... they can cut through whole spaceships with one lightsabre!

[Reply #378 on:]

What about the sith? I think the sith are highly under-rated nowadays...with them having the image of being evil...I mean with all the rules the jedi have to follow why would you want to be one? it would be like being a jehovah's witness or something in that manner.

[Reply #379 on:]

Congrats on your new account jbm

It's been a while since I saw eps 4-6 but did Leiah and Luke kiss??

[Reply #380 on:]

Indeed they did...Episode 5 "The Empire Strikes Back" I didn't think nothing of it until I saw "Return of the Jedi" I wonder what Luke thought when Obi-wan told him that she was his sister...

[Reply #381 on:]

Probably it followed those stages:

[Reply #382 on:]

Hahahaha! Brilliant!

[Reply #383 on:]

Wrong again, gudbjorg!

Three strikes law.

[Reply #384 on:]

Wrong about what? This is brilliant ain't it?

[Reply #385 on:]

Some frames are funnier than other frames:

[Reply #386 on:]

^Comedy gold.

So, anyone here also a fan of Spaceballs?

[Reply #387 on:]

This may go in funny pics.. but what the hell

[Reply #388 on:]

I watched The Clone Wars today, and I really couldn't get into it, the voice acting was a bit hammy and the storyline was dry.

[Reply #389 on:]

There goes the planet...

"KEEP FIRING ASSHOLES!"

[Reply #391 on:]

A free Star Wars RTS that may kick EaW in the balls.

For the ground battles at least anyway. Anyone love how mods sometimes are more lore and canon friendly than the actual games?

[Reply #392 on:]

Looks awesome Nurdy.

"It is all as I have forseen."

[Reply #393 on:]

I want to see that Star Wars film thing that Robot Chicken/Adult Swim was supposed to make...anyone know what the status is on that one?

[Reply #394 on:]

If its the one I'm thinking of the DVD is currently on sale here in New Zealand and seems to have been released in the States toward the end of July. Or is there another one?

No just the one...the one you're refering to was the one I was thinking of.

Nice find FazeShift...Star Wars did change the world indeed.

[Reply #398 on:]

Awesome pic faze..

There is a lot derivated from Lucas works.. in so many ways..

I renember for example how the THX system was born after Return of the Jedi until developed in today home-cinema and teathers systems..

and no mention is needed for speciall efects..

[Reply #399 on:]

I saw "Bring Back Star Wars" on channel 4 last night and Carrie Fisher had a slave Leia statuette with removable gold bikini top, where can I get one?
Hoth stuff!
