I know about playing as Han as a secret character. But I'm not sure if you have to "find" him or just collect enough LEGO studs to purchase him at the Barnett Library.
Guess I'll have to consult the old Prima Guide for that answer.

In all honesty, I'm not a huge fan of midnight showings. I'm up every day at 5:30am, so I am much more of a morning person than a night person.
The last midnight showing I went to was for Terminator 2 back in 1991, and I was fighting myself to remain awake, even with an action-packed film like T2.
For me, I'd much rather continue my SW tradition of taking off from work on the first official day of the film and catching the first morning showing in the theater. Dianna and I did that for all three PT films and the SE releases back in '97.

I've gotta agree with you there Justin. It's exciting, but I'm getting older and it's just not worth it to me anymore. I'm not in any big rush to see Clone Wars. Oh I'll see it in the next week or so, but I've got other stuff going on. Friday I've got a co-workers retirement dinner and then Saturday I'm taking my son to get his first guitar and then he and I are going to his 1st football game. I've had season tickets for years but now he's showing an interest so to me that's more important then a cartoon.

I think the excitement level is still there for the midnight showings. But more important to me is that I want to experience a SW film in the best "mood" possible. For me, that's a morning showing on opening day after a good night's sleep and a nice breakfast. I'm wide awake and ready to go!

Ok, so what are everyones reactions to the Clone Wars?
I will hold back my opinion, so as to let others chime in first.
Hugs!!!

Without going into a detailed spoiler-filled, over-analyzed review, my CW experience can be summed up in two words:
LOVED IT!!

Seriously? I've been hearing horrible things about it since it came out. The early reviews (couple weeks ago) were all great but now it's been nothing but one bad review after another. I've heard it's only for kids and that Jaba's son actually makes Jar Jar enjoyable. I started to lose interest in this movie but now I might have to check it out. You've peeked my curiosity.

Obey Wann from the Rocky Mountain FF sums it up pretty well, in his review. This is also close to the reaction I've gotten from a lot of my friends who have seen it:
"Actually, I loved it. I liked the other cartoon more than any of the prequels, and I'd say that I liked this as much or more than the other cartoon. Why? it was fun. Campy. A metric-butt-ton of action. devil Fantastic lightsaber fights, great clone action, good space scenes --pretty much everything the PT lacked. And at least this was 100% CGI vs 50-75% CGI with bad acting, bad directing and bad writing.
This was a great flick to bring out the kid in me and enjoy some good old fighting and mayhem. Yes, it had some plot holes, and I thought Ziro was a zero --more bad accents and such, but all in all, it worked for me. And the kidses will love it. And IIRC, SW, the original ANH that we all saw when we were kids, didn't take itself too seriously. This has that same sort of wonder and fun that ANH and ESB had."

I think alot of the negative reviews have been coming from people who hated the PT. Everybody compares any new SW-related show/film to the OT, which is simply not possible IMO.
For me, TCW is an excellent method to continuing the SW legacy. I loved the film from start to finish. Yes there are some moments/characters in the film that make you scratch your head. But that was the case with the PT as well, and they did not weigh heavily in my review of them either.
Again, this is all my personal opinion, and I am in no way trying to sway anybody's own review.
I feel extremely confident that the future of SW is in very capable hands with Dave Filoni and his crew.
4/5 stars for me.

I'll have to check it out. Guess I'm just looking for something new. I'm kinda sick of the whole "clone war" era. I would have liked to have seen something taking place after Sith or WAY before it... the formatin of the Jedi counsel or something like that. There's a story there.

That's the beauty of this whole new animation style. GL and crew can delve into any time frame of the SW universe, explored or not explored.
He is not bound by the limitations and constraints that live-action films present.
If this method of delivering SW to us is widely accepted by fans, we just might someday see animated episodes based on the events you describe.
And from what I've seen so far in TCW, my fingers are tightly crossed that this is the case.

I'm trying to find a teaser trailer for I believe Attack of the Clones. I only saw it once and it was bad quality. It was the first time we saw Yoda pull out his saber... I believe the clip I saw was shown at a convention. If memory serves, they poked fun at Spider-Man, referring to the summer and something about a web. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
