forget about the history if your 'over 40'?

If you're not over 40 you don't KNOW the history. You weren't even alive when the first movie came out, so come off it. You're just playing catch-up...

'Anakin is once again portrayed as a complex champion who must confront several roles at once. He is no longer the lone knight, but now the father of two children and a man unjustly accused.'

Wait wait wait...If this movie is between II and III, then how is Anakin a father of two? That happened at the end of III. Am I missing something?

Can a Padawan have a Padawan? Anikan is still Obi-wan's padawan in Episode III? Oh, I guess it does not matter, but I did not know that Anikan had children BEFORE Episode III?

May the Force be with you!

@Previous commenters: The author is referring to Ahsoka and Rotta as the two 'children' that Anakin must care for and look after throughout the film.

We took our kids to the midnight show late Thurs. night. I fell asleep half way through, asked my husband if I missed anything. 'No,' he said. 'It was just the pilot episode for a Saturday morning cartoon series.'

Kids loved it, of course.

I wrote a review on my blog-- writingathena.blogspot.com

Talk about a let down!!!

In the vastness of the 'Clone Wars' playing out on dozens of planets with hundreds of thousands of Jango clones and Jedi generals, the best they can come up with is a kidnapped Hutt and a very short list of good characters.

The new apprentice isnt bad. Anakin and Obi or up to snuff. Not enough extended Sith vs Jedi lightsaber deuls and, the fights they had didnt make me say wow.

What ruined this movie above and beyond anything else? ZERO THE HUTT!!!
First off what kind of name is Zero for a hutt anyways? Second why does it speak english and why the hell does it sound like a gay guy from New Orleans?!?! Had this character had more screen time it would have easily surpassed Jar Jar Binks in the most annoyingly stupid Star Wars character ever!

This movie doesnt even come close to the quality of the Clone Wars animated series that aired on Cartoon network.

George lucas should quit destroying what could have been the best si-fi saga ever! The cheesy jokes, horrible new characters and blan story lines are enough to make die hard Star Wars fans cry.
