Wow. I liked the Genndy Tartakovsky cartoons a lot, but I *really* don’t like the animation style on this new series. Lucas is beating a dead horse and hoping more cash comes out of it at this point.
I don’t know how I feel about the style it’s like 3-D version of the animated series.
That looks fantastic… for a video game.
For a feature length movie, not so much.
They would have done better with that fantastic 2D animation they used for the Clone Wars cartoon (on Amazon). That come out in 2003, so it must not be the show referenced in your post.
Did they accidentally release a rendering preview as a trailer? I agree with the previous commenter, this is an unfortunate departure from Tartakovsky’s style. Wooden and soulless.
I was at the midnight showing of the new Indiana Jones, and had to stifle a laugh. Then I noticed other people doing the same. Then we all noticed each other, and the whole theater erupted in uproarious laughter.
The slogan is what did it, I’ll betcha $50…
“It’s Star Wars… like you’ve NEVER seen before!”
Well, that’s for sure. I don’t think this was the response Lucas was going for. Regardless, I look forward to some day watching this fine piece of cinema at Bad Movie Night.
…So it’s like paying $12 to watch someone else play a video game for 2 hours…
Remember the original Hobbit and Lord of Rings animation? That had a lot more soul and has aged better over the years. Even Akira or any other anime that was put out over a decade ago is preferable to this ….
Looks pretty solid from a fan perspective.
Is it just me, or are the lightsabers obscenely long?
