The degeneration of the "Star Wars" saga continues unabated with "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", the latest, most kid-friendly Lucas-produced assault on the memory of the once-beloved franchise. Covering the same general timeframe as 2004's far superior Cartoon Network "micro-series", "Star Wars: Clone Wars" - which was blessed by Lucas but was notably created without his involvement - this "Clone Wars" takes place between the schmaltzy "Episode II - Attack of the Clones" and the anti-climactic "Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" and continues to capitalize on a brief reference from 1977's trampled-on original film (Luke to Obi-Wan: "You fought in the Clone Wars?").

SIGH
i was hoping against hope that this would be good. there goes another chunk of my childhood. he should let some fan writers put out stuff instead of this crap he's doing now.
Ugh, same here, etantao.
"Jabba the Hutt's infant son. His name? Rotta the Huttlet." It really is over.
I blame fatherhood. ROTJ was supposed to have kickass Wookiees in that treehouse village. Then Lucas's kids just loved that adorable E.T. so much, he decided to make them cutesy Muppet teddy bears instead. If he'd just kept hanging with the Marin County hippie freaks, none of this would have happened.
It says Star Wars. That means good, right?
