Star Wars: The Clone Wars is the 2008 CGI-animated theatrical film that serves as the kick-off to the weekly animated Clone Wars TV series. The concept came about way back in 1977's original Star Wars film, when Leia says in her message to Obi-Wan Kenobi "Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars." Initially a simple offhand reference that would reveal Luke's past, the phrase captured fans' attentions for years, until Episode II: Attack of the Clones revealed just how the Clone Wars figured into the battle between Republic and Empire. The 2008 movie is full of familiar characters--Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Count Dooku--and a new one: Ahsoka Tano, a young girl who has been made Anakin's Padawan. Together, the two headstrong youths embark on a mission to rescue Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped child, battling each other as much as they battle the Separatist forces. There are some kind-of-cool sequences, including duels with Dooku and his assassin, Asajj Ventress, and it's interesting to see some new corners of the Star Wars universe, such as the seamy underbelly of Coruscant. But Ahsoka and her penchant for nicknames that are too cute to stomach seem aimed only at tween-age audiences, and for all that goes on in the movie, nothing really happens in the end. The 2003 animated Clone Wars microseries, which had the advantage of being directly tied into the live-action film series, had much more emotional bite.
At least some familiar voices return: Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO, and still the only actor in every movie), Christopher Lee (Dooku). Other voices include Matt Lanter (Anakin), Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka), and James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan). But even the traditional opening crawl has been replaced by a narration more suited for Starship Troopers. Veteran Star Wars fans will probably want to see The Clone Wars--once--but it won't take them long to discover that this Star Wars isn't their Star Wars any more. --David Horiuchi

The movie is more/less a half made Star Wars product that is geared towards padawans.
If this movie was made for an older crowd, i think it would of been better.
The movie did have awesome clones VS droid battles..... but the movie could not keep me awake.

Watch the 2005 Cartoon Network Non-CGI animated series of shorts and you'll know what I mean when I say this doesn't measure up. The 2005 shorts deal much more with the other films. After watching those the CGI cartoons just lack so much. The least of which is connection and relivence to the movies. I recomend true Star Wars fans skip this all together.

I think some people were expecting a little too much from this movie. It was not written or directed by George Lucas. It is simply an introduction to the Cartoon Network series which in my opinion is even better than the movie. I really enjoyed the movie and my kids love it! We even bought the soundtrack! I like Anakin before he turned to the dark side so it is fun to watch more of him as a "good guy". We have both the Blu-ray and the standard DVD. I bought this copy simply to get the digital version for our iPod player. It was definitely worth the expense as the Blu-ray picture quality is just amazing to me!

The Clone wars is a good movie to watch with your kids, but otherwise, the story is actually boring. The star wars movies are more exciting and interesting than this cartoon. Visually, the movie looks great but some of the characters are very poorly written. The main female character is a brat and the female villain is inept, so the writers need more character development as well as story development.
What I could not understand, is how the Republic (the good guys) are trying to win the favor of Jabba the Hutt, who was one of the villains in Return of the Jedi. In Jedi, Jabba was bad guy who wanted Han Solo dead or alive, and had no problems throwing the good guys in monster-infested traps but here, he is a giant lump who has resources that both the Jedi and Sith want to win their side of the war. I can understand how the Jedi might want to try to negotiate but the point of being a villain is to do bad things. It would make more sense if Count Dooku was trying to take over Jabba's resources by force and the Jedi tried to prevent that, but alas, in the end, it is only a kids movie.
The Blu-ray looks great on a 1080p tv, the sound is fantastic, the extra features are nice and this is the kind of movie to escape reality for awhile and can bring up interesting discussions (with both star wars and casual fans alike) so it is okay.
