I like how you're judging the entire plot of the movie on one comment made in the trailer. That is an incredibly stupid thing to do. You ever think that the Republic might have something to gain by helping the Hutts? You know, something that might not be in the 2-minutes worth of disjointed scenes we have available? I don't need the Force to sense predetermined bias in your thought patterns.

I am not really directing my comment towards you personaly, but if anyone has any faith that the Clone War movie or TV series will be well written is really going to be letdown.

Whether we like it or not, the PT and these Clone War Movie/TV was just not made for the OT generation of SW fans. If you really sit down and watch the PT, it is just terribly written and some of the plot points don't make a lick of sense, but as a kid, you won't notice that and the movies will be fun. As someone older you look at these movies, and you really have to laugh at how amateur they really are, and you have convince yourself when stupid plot points like Padme 'losing the will to live' and grasp to make any sense of it.

I think young kids will enjoy this new stuff, cause the SW universe is enjoyable in any carnation, but it is written for that audience now, and I have come to the conclusion that Lucas has really moved on from fans like myself who grew up with the OT movies, I am not going to buy the merchandise, the videogames, etc, as there are kids who will fill that cashcow.

In saying this, I believe most movies today are written like this, so I don't squarely put the blame on Lucas, as he is just doing what every other 'summer' blockbuster does: Cater to kids with an attention span of about 3 seconds, and if something doesn't make sense, wow them with CGI and action so they don't really care. Character development? Good Story? Who cares as long as it looks cool on screen!

I came from a generation of movies like Star Wars, Superman, Back to the Future, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and ET, those were the summer blockbusters from my time, and sure as kids we all enjoyed them and fell in love with them, but they were all written for an adult audience that kids could enjoy, sadly SW and most of the crap out there that comes out in the summer turn out to be the opposite.
