Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)

This average animated adventure is in a word: tedious. Clocking in at 93 minutes, the adventure centers around Count Dooku's plot to kidnap Jabba the Hutt's son and blame the Republic for it, in order to gain Hutt's allegiance in the Outer Rim. Sound exciting? It's not.

The {for lack of a better word} manga-ey animation ranges from wooden to average. The galaxy and fight sequences are solid; it's the the characters that suffer. The dialogue is mind-numbingly boring. The film introduces a few new characters among Anakin, Obi-Wan, R2D2, Yoda, Mace Windu, etc.. Anakin is given a Padawan during the course of the story. A youngling named Ahsoka. What an annoying twerp! General Grievous is sadly absent, but we do meet Sith baddie Ventriss.

The Force is not with this one. There is no need to watch this.
