After the lashing its gotten from some of the people here, I was expecting much worse. If you watch it knowing that A, it was originally intended for television, and B, that this is basically the pilot for a cartoon series that's getting a vanity run in theaters, it's actually kinda cool. I'll be there.

Listen, kids, THX 1138 and American Graffitti happened decades ago. In recent years, all that Lucas has done includes SW and producing Indidan Jones. Now, I have nothing agains it, I love SW as much as the next guy, Indy too, but isn't it time for George to finally let go? Isn't it time for him to direct/produce/create something new? Or the money just looks too green this way?

I speaketh not of purity, but quality of visuality.
Ok, enough bullshit talk. The quality of animation is extremely inferior to Imagi Studios' TMNT movie, and even further inferior to that of Pixar. I'm not complaining about designs, voices, or even story. I'm complaining purely about animation quality. This CG doesn't even look cinema-worthy. You get this kind of crap CG from Saturday morning cartoons. Who is dumb enough to think this meets cinema standards?
In the words I would've used in a face-to-face conversation: "This shit's fucking ghetto."

The characters actually looks better animated than as the rather bland actors, specially the ones acting as Annakin and Obi-Wan. The bad scripts and lame dialog had a lot to blame for the actors blandness. Though this animation is a bit square and static, the faces got personalities. The cartoonishness makes the characters look more interesting. Specially the villains, they look nice. What looks too flat is curiously the backgrounds, it seems like they could easily have made those alien landscapes richer and livelier.

This looks like such a giant waste of time on the big screen. I realize some will like this, but c'mon now really? I love you George, but you are really starting to push some of us. I know I'm not the only one either. And I hate all of the animation as others have said. It plain ol' looks creepy & cheap, no wonder it was meant to be on TV.

What I find unsettling is that this will be in theatres. I'm having a hard time accepting this as an actual star wars movie. With all the money and energy put into the two new star wars shows, Lucas should really do what everybody wants and make an episode 7. I think more people would be excited to see Han Luke and leia again than to see computer animated television shows based on the prequels that nobody really liked but dealt with it anyways.

Forget this steaming pile. After hearing about the disaster that is the new Terminator. Donnie Darko 2 next. Flooding memories of the horrible, tasteless Prequel trilogy is all that this aroused out of me. The concensus among the fans seems to be about the same. The only difference is you guys are saying you'll still see this turkey even though you don't won't to. Forget that fans. Boycott this shit and everything else Lucas and the bunch throws at us. Maybe they'll take a hint.

Despite of how crappy it looks I will watch it anyway, probably with my little nephew. But seriously the last films left me desiring something more, this was not what I had in mind, but considering it wasn't done by Lucas per se, maybe the story and the action is actually good...despite of how crappy it looks. ( why couldn't they just do it PIXAR style if they were going animated?) PISSES ME OFF! Maybe when they all finally learn they're lesson they will do a GREAT star wars movie like the old trilogy.

...this commercial for the new Star Wars video game looks awesome. Wait...this is the trailer for the new movie? You mean we have to just sit in the theater and watch this awful animation? Nice work, George. Keep on crapping on your legacy (although it's safe to say you accomplished that a long time ago with a little movie known as The Phantom Menace). You better hope Indiana Jones 4 kills at the box office this summer or you're going to see SkyWalker Ranch on the real estate market faster than you can say "Neverland".

It's tough to decipher if the majority of critics are negative because of what this is, or because of what this isn't going to be.

The character design isn't the priority here. I'd rather watch n animated film with "cartoonish" characters that has a great story, as opposed to a subpar story but realistic character designs. Don't get me wrong, I love detail in such films as Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within, but if that's not the direction then it's certainly not going to be the end of the world.

Usually, a movie introduction to a TV series gets aired on a prime time slot. I am guessing that faith in the fanbase (Be it because of their interests or their wallets) is the sole reason why this is being released to theatres.

The important thing that people should take into account, is that this hasn't been presented to us on the same level as a Star Wars feature length film. All the more reason why we shouldn't be looking at it as such.

I didn't love the trailer, but I didn't hate it. As for the animation, each studio has their own style (pixar, dreamworks, etc) so i think this is just a different approach. While the human characters don't really impress me, i think it works great for some of the spaceship and battle scenes. I didn't care too much for the cartoon network animation for clone wars, but it seems to resemble that. I'm not sure how they plan to stretch a whole series out of this premise though.

Also, i agree it's very different to not see the 20th century fox logo in front of anything star wars.

Right now it looks like the animation found on most kids shows. No where near Pixar quality, but then again, isn't this supposed to become a TV series?
