Ended, Finally, These Clone Wars Have

I took Evan to see Clone Wars. Honestly, it wasn't as terrible as I expected, though it dragged quite a bit.

Two observations:

1. If your aim is to build an invincible clone army to keep order, please try to avoid naming your commanders things like "Captain Rex" and "Commander Cody." That suggests that you really wanted to raise Golden Retrievers and only got into the army-building thing by accident.

2. If one of George Lucas' kids turns out to be gay, I can't imagine how George will ever look him or her in the eye after pushing the whole flaming gay Hutt thing. Really, that was just embarrassing.

    You crumbled under the power of the Happy Meal too, eh? Mostly I've got to agree with the AV Club's take on it in that it feels more like a video game than a movie. How many times have you heard "You must destroy the shield generator before their army reaches us or you'll have to restart the mission!"

    In that spirit: the shooter levels are better than the lightsaber levels, the best thing that can be said about the stealth levels are that they're mercifully short, and you'll occasionally see some muddy textures when you get too close to the models. Worth a rental but not much more than that. Three stars.
