George Lucas just can’t quit. Not that I am complaining of course. Not about this anyway. It’s just, well he knows dammn well that I can’t help but watch and yet he has interest in even fufilling my expectations. And so here comes Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Meh.
I was never a full on Star Wars fanboy. My brother was though the doctors assure us he is fully recovered. However, I have always liked the original trilogy. I had been looking forward to the new trilogy ever since I had first heard the rumors ten years before the Phantom Menace came out. And then of course came Jar Jar. Attack of the Clones wasn’t bad and Revenge of the Sith came close to redeeming him but they could have just done Revenge of the Sith and everything would have been groovy.
Is there anything in this post that hasn’t already been said in the last ten years though? Probably not. And now here comes The Clone Wars to the big screen. i think its funny that only Christoper Lee and Sam “Motherfucking Snakes” Jackson were asked to voice their characters while Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman either have better things to do or George Lucas is done with them. Natalie Portman may actually be famous enough that she is too expensive though and also her one asset, her hotness, would not do much good in voice over.
I’ll probably rent this when it comes out on DVD at Christmas. I like to take advantage of a good sale.
