If people could post some of the reviews here as they are published I'd appreciate it.

Unfortunately for Lucas I think the most media attention Clone Wars will receive will be from inevitably knocking The Dark Knight from number 1 at the box office.

If Clone Wars turns out to be good well than I'm glad for those that are interested/ invested in the project.

If Clone Wars turns out to be bad then I hope it tanks at the box office like a lead balloon so Lucasfilm receives the message loud and clear that most people are sick of the Star Wars machine (if that is indeed true) and won't accept 3 tv episodes strung together passed off as a feature film. Unfortunately money speaks louder than words and that's the only message that will get through to them.

I enjoyed the movie, but it's not going to come close to beating the Dark Knight. This is an animated movie. It's more in line with the Shrek franchise. I'd say if I had to compare to one of the Shrek films I'd say it's likely to be closer to the first Shrek in terms of money. Probably less though because like I said, some people are just tired of SW right now.
