Commercial for new SW movie
Just saw this on TV...
It's hard not to pre-judge...
Besides all he teeny-bopper elements (ehhh...) the part that really gave me the WTF moment was the baby Jabba. I mean, really?
Maybe it wasn't Jabba, but with George you never know...
Damon.

Jabba's son actually, per this trailer:

It's highly stylized to be sure, but so was the Clone Wars cartoon, and that was pretty good. We'll see.

On the opposite note, I saw another commercial that didn't look so bad...
The baby Hutt thing, though...
Maybe I'm just not the target audience anymore because I'm not 12...

I think it looks cool - even though after all the movies and previous clone wars cartoons I have no idea what really happens during the clone wars. Lucas couldn't pick a different set of heroes for once?

I saw the trailer at the theater, and didn't think it looked too bad. I didn't like the "Japanese" look and action of the Clone Wars animated shorts, but this one looked more interesting.
I wonder how involved Lucas was in the production of this thing? I thought he was supposed to become more hands-off with the SW properties after the end of the 2nd trilogy?

I would defintely say that neither the action nor the style of the previous Clone Wars animated series I'd characterize as "japanese" (or at least I never got that impression).

Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is that Tartakovsky's style reminds me of / borrows from / was inspired by Japanese animation to some extent.
I normally love his work, but I didn't particularly like the animated series. It was OK, but the vibe or feel was too unlike Star Wars and too like everything on Cartoon Network for my tastes.

I really like how the Ep1-3 sometimes looks like the original concept art, with an almost 1920's art deco look - that seems especially evident with the 'hood ornament' fins on the clone troopers, C3PO's "Metropolis-esque" look, and some of the backgrounds - yet this always seems to get muted and blunted into a more 'normal' look.

Probably not the best clip they could have posted, but you can watch 3.5 minutes of clones dieing here.
I'll just say I really liked the cartoon, more than ep 1-3. So on one hand I'm pretty excited about this movie. On the other... it looks like they are just re-doing the cartoon and extending it to a full movie. So we'll see.
