I won't even refer to it as the Clone Wars, because it was done before, and a hell of a lot better. I hate to be this blunt, and don't think of me as an animated movie hater (loved WALL-E), but this movie was a prolonged battle scene with a bunch of twitchy bobble heads that looked more at home on Easter island than on this movie. I fully expect to see someone shop the count's head in place of one of those statues, and it will get chuckles. There's art form then there's Yoda, which you can't take seriously because he looked like he came out of a bizarre anime machine. You can't take anything seriously with those kind of eyes.
Because of the aforementioned stony faces, emotion in this movie was forced or downright childish. Movies 4 thru 6 depended on endearing and charismatic acting to make them work. That they did well and also why I enjoy them so much. It seems the more CG you put into Star Wars, the less the actors seem like people.
I huge disappointment for me, I watched Space channel's behind the scenes for this movie, which Lucas himself stated something along the lines of: "I feel making CG look like real people is a bad idea". Well that kinda backfired. In my opinion, This movie should have been handled by PIXAR, They've made some brilliant works in the past.
