Yeah it looks tacky but, while no masterpiece, this is still a lot more enjoyable than the last three SW movies – in fact it is almost a return to the spirit of the first two Star Wars flicks ever, yeah i mean the original and Empire Strikes Back. Perhaps the absence of Lucas is what helps here – the writing is fresher, and actually has laughs. The story moves along well, there is kick-ass action and the characters, tho animated, seem a hell of a lot more natural than the real life versions of the past three movies.
Perhaps Clone War's connection to TV has also helped it get a bit more with the times.
I would recommend this movie to all die-hard Wars fans (I am one)– especially to those disillusioned by Phantom Menace and its sequels. This small movie breathes new life into the series. Ironic isn't it?
