The one question I have of this movie is why was this made? Was it George Lucas’ greedy thirst for money or his genuine attempt to tell more stories? Turning Star Wars into an animated adventure should have brought the fun back into Star Wars but instead was the first time I have ever been embarrassed to be a Star Wars fan. With George Lucas’ love affair with special effects clearly evident with the movie, and while there is no disputing that the special effects that were inspired by the likes of the Thunderbirds were impressive, that does not distract away from the movie’s flaws. The story follows Anikan Skywalker and introduces his Padwan, Ahsoka as they fight against Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress to rescue Jabba the Hutt’s son, referred to as ‘Stinky’, which is quite an appropriate term to describe this film. Ahsoka proves to be a general annoyance throughout the whole film constantly referring to R2- D2 as r-twoey and brining about much of the childish humor that is obviously generated at a younger audience completely alienating die hard Star Wars fans. The film takes a most bizarre turn with the introduction of Jabba the Hutt’s uncle who for some unknown reason turns out to be a cross-dressing hut; this was the point where the movie could not be saved. While this was obviously just the pilot to launch the television series, this is not just a disappointment for true Star Wars fans but for anyone looking for an enjoyable family movie, maybe this should have been saved for the smaller screen.
