I took my 6 year old daughter to see the Clone Wars the other day and was just slightly disappointed. It's still Star Wars, and thats a plus, it also has some really cool action scenes and fights. The Clones really make the movie. The story is very thin, what you would expect from a TV series that this was made for. But the part that left me feeling funny was that it didn't know if it wanted to target kids or adults. Lots of violence that you would not see in a kids show, with lots of people dying. But a plot to rescue Jabbas infant son with all the tropes of a kids TV show. My dauther even winced at a scene in Jabba's palace, but totally got into the action of Anikan's new apprentice Ashoka. It's probably good to go see it one the big screen, after all how many more Star Wars films will be getting there. But hopefully the TV series finds itself better than the movie did. Once again, I highly recommend the novelization to get the most out of the movie.

Good review! The coartton version that showed on Cartoon Network a few years back was much better or so i hear; I loved it.
