This animated movie came out in 2008, but I just got around to popping it into my Blu-ray player and viewing it. If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ll want to check this out. Yes, many critics dismissed Star Wars: The Clone Wars as a long commercial for the television series of the same name which debuted on October 3, 2008. Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano undertake a dangerous mission to rescue Jabba the Hutt’s son. But wait, there’s more! Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda lead an army of clones against the droid army while the forces of the Dark Side rise. I found Star Wars: The Clone Wars to be 98 minutes of fun! GRADE: B+

I’m now 3 Star Wars films behind, not counting animated ones. I used to love these things, but like all movies, my interest has just dried up.
Rick, I know the feeling. STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS came up in 2008 and it’s taken me until 2017 to watch it. The torrent of STAR WARS videos seems to be unending!
I gave up many years ago – watching just one film of the second series. Found it too childish and predictable, just Kitsch …
Wolf, there is a whole STAR WARS industry over here: books, movies, TV programs, T-shirts, toys, etc. When Disney bought the rights to STAR WARS, they cranked up their marketing machine!
