Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
Clone Rangers
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Based on a story by producer George Lucas, this animated adventure takes place somewhere between Episode II and Episode III. Whoever rescues Jabba the Hut's kidnapped son gets free passage through the outer rim. But Count Dooku has evil plans afoot, and Anakin has a new, hotheaded girl padawan (apprentice) to deal with. The film copies Lucas' writing style: stiff, expositional speeches and witless banter, and a plot full of holes. (Why is Obi-Wan Kenobi always off negotiating somewhere? How long does it take?) However, the crisp pacing offers a surprising low-key charm, and the characters even look a bit like hand-crafted, hand-painted wood! Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and Anthony Daniels lend their familiar voices, but the rest of the voice cast is new. (Not to be confused with the awful, straight-to-video Star Wars: Clone Wars, from 2003.)
