The movie really is just a series of long emotionless action scenes. That's really all this movie is.

The "Star Wars" franchise has become what the marketing executive always thought: an excuse to steal money from children. The Lucas empire has finally succumbed to the Dark Side.

Despite some absolutely gorgeous animation and adjusting expectations for what Clone Wars is meant to be, the Force is not strong with this one.

George Lucas’ filmic empire managed to survive Jar Jar Binks, a flying R2-D2, and even those insufferable Ewoks. It very nearly did not survive Jabba the Hutt’s belching baby boy.
