For starters, I must say that this film's story and approach are a complete disappointment. Not only did Lucas and company attempt to recreate the galaxy far, far away through computer-generated animation, but they made the animated characters resemble the actors that portrayed them in the three recent, live-action prequels. To many this would seem the right thing to do, and to that I couldn't agree with you more. However, make sure that you hire voice actors who can accurately mimic their voice as well, which is something that Clone Wars did not do.

Additionally, the story was extremely simple as it resembled the look and complexity of an extended Saturday morning cartoon. Gone were the interesting characters and visuals as well as the staged dilemmas and 'Jedi' ideas. Instead, every problem has a staged, easily foreseeable conclusion, prompting me to believe that this film was never intended for the older, die-hard fans but rather the younger, possibly new audience that has yet to see their seventh birthday.

Not to mention the boring and lifeless story that handicaps the film from beginning to end. As it starts out, we learn that Jaba the Hut's son has been kidnapped by an unknown intruder; thus leaving it up to Anakin and his padawan learner, Ahsoka, to save the day. In the midst there are dreary fight sequences and constant power struggles as the dilemmas are elementary in strength, yet take the power of a Jedi to defeat.

But, I must also mention the positive of Clone Wars, which is that it will effectively introduce the Star Wars franchise to a mountain of new fans. Sadly, they will be introduced with a subpar film that will possibly turn them away from the series forever, never allowing them to experience the joy and excitement that was and still is A New Hope.
