    Someone really was doing their job over at E, weren't they?

    They probably fell asleep during the movie. And can you blame them?

    Wow this is just what I've been waiting! An animated Clone Wars! Lucas you genius you've done it again! I'm sure through watching 2-3 minute cartoons all the battles will be completed and the plot will be golden. I can't wait to watch the battles to see an animated Anakin Skywalker, because animated is so much better than CG and real live actors! Damn Lucas is a genius!

    Thanks a lot spolierboy.

    Not that I was going to see the 3rd movie, but if they had been any good I would have been pissed about reading this. Oh well.
