Why in the hell did they have to go with CG for this? Genndy Tartakovsky's stuff looked great.

Does this replace the two-part cartoon movie, or how does it work?

That looks pretty damn cool. Hope it's as good as the Cartoon Network animated cartoon shorts.

It's a continuation of the miniseries, I think.

Loved the 2D Cartoon Network stuff. Hopefully this isn't shitty.

The Clone Wars cartoon was already 5000x better than any prequel.TemplaerDude said:
General Grievous was completely neutered in Episode 3. I was so disappointed after watching him kick so much ass in the cartoon.

Scratch what I just said, just saw it in motion. What the hell, looks like another boring Star Wars movie with wooden acting and boring action.
Check it out for yourself.

Looks pretty cool. In terms of CG, it's not mind boggling. But let's hope the stories will be good.

It's Mace Windu's fault that George Lucas can't choreograph an action scene to save his life.

Yeah, but come on... he's an unstoppable threat at first, taking on seven or eight jedi at one time and killing most of them in the miniseries, and he turns into some robotic Dracula impersonator because of just that? His saber duel with Obi-Wan was beyond pathetic.

gtfo that fight was awesome as fuck. And it started off awesome too with Grievous spinning the blades around like helicopter blades and driving them into the ground making all the sparks (goddamn this needs to be on Blu-ray). Just watched Episode III again for the first time in a year or so last night, it remains my favorite episode. Yes that's right I don't have the almighty Empire Strikes Back dildo shoved up my ass like everyone else!
even though it's my 2nd favorite

For once the human CG models don't make me want to hurt ducklings. It was my only problem with the new TMNT. The turtles looked great but goddamn the humans looked awful.
Shard said:
Oh yeah the Maul fight IS better, but what's wrong with the editing during the Grievous duel? Considering the special effects and animation that went into it, I thought it lasted pretty long, I mean having Ewan McGregor fighting something that fiercly that doesn't even exist is pretty impressive, IMO.

Yes, it started off awesome... and then he lost his arms and he ran like a coward. A total joke compared to the Clone Wars battles.

The animation looks stiff as hell. Thanks, George.

His action scenes look cool, but they almost never live up to their potential and inevitably err on the side of cheesiness.btrboyev said:
Grevious vs. Obi-Wan was one of the most disappointing action scenes I can remember ever seeing.
Anakin vs. Count Dookoo round 1 didn't live up to its potential at all. Anakin started fighting with two lightsabers, which was the coolest looking thing in the whole movie, but Lucas ruined it by having him lose one of the sabers within five seconds.
Fleet battle over Coruscant was ruined by being focused on vulture droids on Obi-Wans ship for about 75% of its duration.
Yoda vs. anyone is completely ridiculous.
The best action scenes in the prequel trilogy, IMO, are Darth Maul vs. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, Jango vs. Obi-Wan, Jango chasing Obi-Wan in the asteroid field, and Palpatine vs. Mace Windu.

I'll see it, definitely. The only Star Wars stuff I can seem to get into is within the six film time-span. Besides the Knights of the Old Republic era, all the Expanded Universe shit bugs me.

Well, he ran off like a coward during the entire movie, even at the beginning. I kinda thought the whole point of Mace crushing his chest was to explain this. I do agree that Grievous was more badass in the cartoon, but I still liked him in the movie and thought he was hilarious.
Ahhhh General Kenobiii! :lol

this is probably my favorite dual in the ENTIRE series next to Luke VS Darth Vader in Empire
....and WTF at this news....wasn't the 2D Cartoon (which was really quite good) enough?
Night_Trekker said:
Probably because they believe that CG would draw more people in than a 2D cartoon film.
If it was a cartoon film, many would believe it was a kids film, however being CG it could be perceived as a family film, so more $$$.
Plus Lucas immeasurable desire for all things CG.
brandonh83 said:
Yeah that was awesome, the whole series of prequels were leading up to that battle imho.

The final battle in Episode III involving the intercutting between Anakin and Obi-Wan and Yoda and Sidious is pretty much my favorite continuous action sequencing of all time. The editing is fucking amazing especially when it cuts from Anakin blocking the saber attack while lying on the table to Yoda and Sidious throwing down on the rising senate pod as the music explodes... awesome shit if you ask me.

The Sidious/Yoda fight was great, but the Anakin/Obi fight sucked! The biggest dissapointment was that you never get to see Darth Vader unleashed! He should have been tossing shit around with the force. Yet, we get a lame force block that shows that they are both equally strong. Vader gets beat due to his arrogance, but he should have demonstrated how strong he really was.

I'm pretty sure that the creators of the Clone Wars cartoon didn't know everything about the Grevious scenes in Episode 3, and vice versa. They probably just got a description of the character and his abilities.brandonh83 said:
With that said, it doesn't look good for Lucas that some cartoonists were able to come up with far more imaginative uses for his own character. Clone Wars' Grevious blows Lucas' Grevious out of the water to an embarrassing degree.
DarkJediKnight said:
He was still woefully inexperienced compared to obi-wan and his belief that he was "better than all the jedi", betrayed him in that fight. Though he put up one heck of a fight which showed his raw talent.
Greatness Gone said:
Yes, yes it is.
Disney made some brilliant movies, but unfortunately it was them more than anyone that contributed to the "2D is for kids" attitude we have today.

I didn't really look at it that way. I always considered Anakin a "could have been." He was just pissed and blind with rage. Still thought the battle with him and Kenobi rocked fucking hardcore.

It was pretty good. Needed more force-telekinesis. Vader throwing stuff at Luke in Empire was one of the best parts of that fight.brandonh83 said:

I wouldn't have complained or anything. I just like how layered the fight was and how much ground it covered. Epic, and fast moving. The actual saber combat was very speedy which is all I really wanted. I also love the bit when Anakin and Kenobi are standing in just one spot in a sort of "draw" match, spinning their sabers blindly waiting for one or the other to strike. Found that unique and very cool.
