The first-ever animated feature from Lucasfilm Animation, this action-packed space adventure follows the heroic Jedi Knights as they attempt to maintain order and restore peace during a time of monumental galactic strife. The Clone Wars have engulfed the galaxy in chaos, and as the dreaded droid army of the Separatists wipes out everything in its path, the future of the Galactic Republic becomes increasingly uncertain. Meanwhile, Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano embark on a pivotal mission that pits them directly against the dreaded Jabba the Hutt and his criminal minions while Count Dooku enlists the aid of Asajj Ventress and the rest of his sinister agents in ensuring that the young Jedi fails in his noble mission. Back on the front lines of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda attempt to fend off the forces of the dark side with the assistance of a massive clone army. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
It moves fast, conquers armies, kicks into hyperspace and spits out idiotic quips with unapologetic cartoon brio.
-
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
The visuals are worthy, but the big screen brings the movie's script shortcomings and pacing problems into sharper relief.
-
Nathan Lee, New York Times
Star Wars: The Clone Wars comes as something of a surprise: it isn't the most painful movie of the year!
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
One of the more mediocre entries in the entire Star Wars catalogue.
-
Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal
Visually busy and visually forgettable, with a less than engaging story line, and characters who look like anime figures and move like the denizens of Geppetto's workshop, Wars will appeal only to the most tolerant, galactically minded children.
