Okay here goes my strange distorted and fragmented review. First yay I finally saw a SW "film" with true SW fans, not just friends who happen to enjoy the films. I don't believe this will have as broad appeal as the main films because as mentioned before this is really just a grand intro to the series whose target audience are the real fans and kids ("Yeah lets make some more fans to buy all these toys and build my empire").

It was fun to me and I enjoyed it alot. There was a fair amount of humour which will appeal to adults and kids both fan wise and mainstream which will be crucial to the series success on tv. I did actually enjoy seeing the characters well developed but more development in certain characters. I think Uncle George passed it on that the story most important here.

I think Campbell's description of the "Thunderbirds" look of the characters is pretty accurate and not especially appealing, particularly Obi Wan or Count Dooku. But this is very high level of stylized anime and each character seemed to have their look developed based on the qualities of that character. I can say I like this incarnation of Assaj Ventriss's look the best. And Jawa's are gonna make some new fans. The visual shots and "camera" angles especially during the action sequences was fantastic and just built on what we've previously seen on film. Some sequences I liked better that the films. (I will refer to the others as films cause I do consider this like part of the series)

Though the animated Jabba looks carved from wood he's not just a big slobbering disgusting bulk. There's a real personality here that maybe we'll actually get to understand how a huge slug could come into his power and maintain it despite relying on all the ne'er do wells who could probably dispatch him quite easily.

As Campbell mentioned I liked the interaction between Anakin and Ahsoka as well as he and Obi Wan. Where so many people had difficulty understanding Anakin's sudden turn to the darkside, we'll get to see the build up of events which made that turn easier. This story is always going to be about Anakin but seen through maybe more than a few different pairs this time. Ahsoka's gonna be an important in that viewing and progression.

Whether we get to see anymore of Jabba's Uncle Ziro we'll just have to wait and see.......My decription actually relates to a comment Campbell made in the theatre and the one above. Imagine Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote playing the part of (played by) Kevin Spacey in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"

more to come I'm sure
