Why I won't be going to see Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Even though I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan, I don't think I'll be going to the cinema to see the new Star Wars: The Clone Wars film.

First off I'm not generally a fan of animated films. The only animated films I enjoy are Pixar's, and I feel the rest lack the charm and style of cartoons and the realism that live-action offers. If this movie would have been either a cartoon or a live-action film I probably would have gone to see it, but I'm so sick of lifeless computer animated films.

Second, I'm not particularly interested in the Clone Wars storyline. It's not dynamic enough for me - just a load of slow boring politics and wars. And what about the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series. Wasn't that enough expansion upon the Clone Wars saga?

But thirdly, and most importantly, I haven't been a fan of anything Lucas has done with Star Wars since the Special Editions. I can't get behind what he does anymore. It all seems to lack the excitement and atmosphere of the Old Trilogy and I just don't enjoy it. There's such a gap in quality it's amazing, and part of me wishes he wouldn't have made any more Star Wars films after ROTJ.

I can't believe I'm so uninterested in this film, but I probably won't even end up renting the DVD when it comes out. If Lucas and co. were making a new film they could have done something else way more fun and exciting than this, but they haven't, and it sucks.


BTW, this is my first post on here in over two years, it's been a while!

Welcome back! But I really think you should go see it, and not allow your initial discouragement to overshadow the good time you'll have!

MTFBWY!

it's a really fun film!

I couldn't agree more. Just go and enjoy it, pretend you've never seen Star Wars before, pretend you're 10 years old, just have fun.

And welcome back.

I think you should go see it. From one member to another. If you do hate it, I'll give you money back for your ticket. As long as you see it.

There. Don't know how else to convince you.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!! I'm now a little less averse to the idea of going to see it. Maybe if I pass a cinema within the next few days...

I saw the clone wars series on tv (the 3d one, not the cartoon) and I wasn't very impressed. Obi Wan didn't sound like Obi Wan, Anakin didn't sound like Anakin, etc etc. I'm not a big fan of the Prequels. ROTS was great, but the other two were mediocre. I prefer the originals too.
