First impressions of the new Clone Wars movie?

I must say I like the look of it.

Looks great. Us Northerners are going to see it at the cinema together and then have a BBQ afterwards. You guys in Scotland should do something similar wink

Then of course in the third reconciliation of the
last of the Meketrex supplicants they chose a
newform for him, that of a Sloar. Many Shubs
and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the
depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you.

IAG and MJ - Genndy Tartakovsky is off the movie (he's the, well essentially, the visionary behind the Cartoon Network shorts) this is partially due to the new 3D series moving to CN's rival, Nickelodeon, after the movie. Spokespeople for the 3D film said Lucas didn't find things like Mace WIndu taking on a whole army of Super Battle Droids believable and wanted the 3D movie to be more in keeping with the films. All a bit of a mess. As a result 'The Dark Crystal 2', a project Tartovsky was helming after Lucasfim bought the movie rights from Henson Associates, is no more, Tartakovsky walking off the project.
What seems to be happening - with an animated movie of the Classic Trilogy now rumoured - is that, with animated versions of characters, creatures and vehicles, Lucas can, as with Disney, completely own the likenesses of his creations. This seems to have the hands of Lucasfim lawyers over it, rather than completely Lucas's intention.
That's the, slightly depressing, skinny on the new animated film - which I will still go and see. Oh, just one more thing, it will have the Warner Bros. logo at the start instead of the 20th Century Fox logo and music. Not nice for original fans, but Lucas made the move to express distaste at Rupert Murdoch (who owns 20th Century Fox). He nearly did this with the prequels (Dreamworks were put 'em out) but was persuaded not to, to make the saga fit, stylistically.
Anyway, on a Glaswegian note, this opens at the same time Glasgow has its Memorabilia fair. So I'll be off to that then go see this.

Would anyone be interested in meeting up, going to see it then going for a few drinks or something to eat or something like that?

Doesn't have to be the exact release date I suppose if it's a difficult day for anyone.

bugger it, lets those of us who can go on release day, do so.

some sense of event to what has so far been something of a low-key SW development

drinks beforehand would perhaps be a good idea too. just in case its baws...

Sounds like a good idea, plus there hasn't been a meet for ages. If it turns out to be guff we can always go drinking.

Clone Wars opens on Friday 15th August.

waiting to see if Cineworld will do their traditional Thursday midnight geek preview, as they did with all the prequels...

but maybe this one isn'y a big enough fuss to get special treatment.

I'll pop in and ask next time I'm passing (seeing as I work next to it, this will not be difficult)

But ASSUMING it starts Friday 15th, who wants to meet in a city pub beforehand and definitely NOT bring plastic lightsabers, helmets or too much bad 'im a jedi, me' patter?
