Okay, this wasn't the Worst Movie that I have ever seen. But it was definitively not up to the Star Wars standard either. (but few movies are – not even the Star Wars Prequels were up to the Star Wars standard , so to expect a spin off CGI movie based on the Prequels to be on the same standard as the Star Wars Movies was probably going to be a stretch anyway.)- Much ado about nothing.
This was supposed to be the two hour pilot for the Star Wars: Clone Wars CGI animated TV Show that aired on the Cartoon network, apparently George Lucas and his team at LucusFilm were so pleased with how this pilot episode turned out that they decided to release it as a stand alone movie at the theaters a full 6 months before the TV Show started. (Which they conveniently released it on DVD/Blu-Ray simultaneously as the TV Show was debuting and they were able to market it all together)
::::::::::::::: SPOILER ALERTS::::::::
The movie starts with Anakin Skywalker on a planet full of battle droids when his new Padiwan Learner arrives to help him. They work together to overcome the droid army, but then someone kidnaps the child of one of the Hutts, and of course the plot involves Count Dooku as the culprit.
Honestly, I found the story in this movie to be a bit weak (I actually watched the TV Series, and to be honest with you, some of the Episodes were really good, I don't know how it is then that this ended up being the one that was the pilot and released in the theaters, because it wasn't as good as most of the standard episodes of the TV series .
I believe this movie was an accident, and if they had it to do over again they would've never released this as a stand alone movie at the theaters (But that's just my opinion) personally I am not a fan of this movie.
It's best and only redeeming quality is that it dies have really good CGI-Animation, and I really loved the altered STAR WARS theme music they did for this movie (and the TV series).---other than that, bypass this movie and just go strait for the TV series which was much better than the movie was
