Star Wars: The Clone Wars, on dvd November 11, 2008, is a Star Wars CG movie. While this does look a bit like something that you would see in a Saturday Morning cartoon lineup, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. While this was surely made to try and squeeze more money from the Star Wars name, I didn't feel like they were skimping on this movie. Watching this made me feel that the makers did take time and effort to really put out something that is worth watching.This movie took a look at a part of the Anakin Skywalker story that wasn't covered in the theatrical trilogy (the most recent episodes 1, 2, and 3). While you don't need to know the story covered in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, I did enjoy it and think that it adds to the way that I view Anakin Skywalker before he took his big step over to the dark side. This story really helps show the personality of the character, adding to what the live action movies laid out.
The story of Star Wars: The Clone Wars has our main character, Anakin Skywalker, as a general in the clone army, fighting against the Separatist droid forces. The Hutts have a young family member kidnapped and it is left up to the Jedi Anakin and his new Padawan learner to rescue the child in hopes of strengthening Jedi relations with the Hutt family.
Featuring some talented voice actors and some decent CG work, this title was a surprise for me and one that I really enjoyed.
The Short Version: Star Wars: The Clone Wars on dvd is a CG movie sure to be loved by kids and Star Wars fans that has its story take place with a Jedi Anakin Skywalker before he made his move to The Dark Side.
