The trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars has hit the net via Yahoo! Movies. Those who caught the broadcast of it on the 8th were lucky, as the Yahoo trailer is in less than ideal condition: just when things started to get good, the sound cut out on me! (So take my opinion with a grain of salt.) While I got all nostalgic and excited upon hearing Obi Wan's Theme (one of John Williams compositions, I think), the rest didn't fill me with much confidence. It looks less like a trailer for a movie trailer than one for a video game -- and not because of the animation, but because it mostly is made up of "Look, how cool!" shots. But, like I said, the sound died when the plot started to pick up, so I will re-watch it when the glitches clear up and form a new opinion. If it worked for you, please tell me if I'm wrong -- and if it is way better than a video game trailer.

The Clone Wars hits theatres August 15th. I wonder if Star Wars fans are already lining up?

I can't believe anybody's looking forward to seeing that. With computer graphics what they are today, you'd think they'd add a little bit of life to the characters. I mean, come on...square beards that don't move? The thing looks ridiculous. I'm a Star Wars fan, but this cartoon doesn't belong in the theater...it belongs on Saturday morning where the kiddies can watch it.

Really? I thought the movies were supposedly wrapped up? Yoda sends the Jedi out to rescue Jabba the Hut's son? Really? I don't get it - what are you trying to kill the legacy of Star Wars? This is stomach turning...

I didn't even mind the new trilogy that much, but are they really putting that in theaters.
It's fine as a TV show and video game but the actual 'cannon' movie saga shouldn't be tainted with this.

Elisabeth, I'd recommend using one of the HD links, the trailer looks great.

They played this before Speed Racer at my theater on Saturday.

I don't know, I think it looks cool, even if it is weird they're putting it in theaters.
