George Lucas sux
A few years, the creator of Dexter's Laboratory introduced us to "Clone Wars". It was a wonderfully animated show that I was not able to follow. I only watched it because it was out around the same time with Samurai Jack (also from the same creator). It ran for 2 seasons and quietly ended in 2005. Then, out of fucking nowhere, the trailer and tv spots started showing up.
It was a pleasant show but does it really deserve a theatrical run? This kinda stuff should be direct-to-dvd and/or make its debut exclusively on Cartoon Network. George Lucas decided 3 years later that it should be a movie? Really? Are there really Star Wars fans that wanted this?? Oh wait, this is the guy who wanted aliens and gophers and Shia swinging with monkeys in "Indy 4". It made a lot of money but lost what made the trilogy great. What a big slap in the face for Steven Spielberg and Frank Darabont.
"Clone Wars" is appropriately getting early but very negative reviews after the advanced screening. And that's not the worst part. Lucasfilm has enforced a NO NEGTAIVE REVIEW EMBARGO, where negative reviews from notable movie critics are asked to be taken down or withdrawn until after 8/15.
Look, we get it. Star Wars is great but let it have a decent legacy ok? Yoda, Darth Vader and "The Apprentice" are on Soul Calibur IV. You win on that one... but don't go censoring critics on your bad ideas.
Oh, and studio plants trying to pose as normal peopleare welcome to diffuse this.
