From what I understand this new movie is actually supposed to be the launch a new tv series.  Quite honestly I'm a little disappointed by the new look of the movie.  George Lucas implemented fantastic 3D effects to revitalize the first triology and produce the second.  This new series looks way too anime.  The hair doesn't look transmapped and the skin/texturing effects look rather simplistic.  Anyone else wishing for something a little more?

Ok.. quick caveat, not the biggest star wars fan to begin with.  I enjoyed the originals, don't get me wrong, but the second trilogy set had me rather annoyed.  Special effects were A+ of course, but the plot line.. sheesh.

Ok, we need to make Amadalah a Queen because Leah is a princess.. well, except that she apparently gets democratically elected to Queen and only holds the position for 4 years?  Oh, and of course nobody would know Leah is actually a princess since she was secretly adopted by the Organa's anyway.... ick.. Some serious plot holes and obvious gaffe's in the story cropped up almost immediately.  Honestly by the end of the 2nd movie in the 2nd triology I was just begging for Anakin to finally turn tot he dark side, the sooner the better.  Anything to stop his incessant whining.

So when it comes to Star Wars I must admit it's hit or miss with me, but this TV series looks like a total miss.  The animation is beyond low budget, it's horrible.  I've seen stuff with much higher production values done by Star Wars geeks with home video cameras and hobbiest software like Poser.  And if the animation is that bad, one can only imagine how little attention was paid to storyline.  Nope, looks like this will be a pass for me.

-Never fear, RenderDog is near!  Oh wait, is that a chew toy?  Yup. ok, nevermind.. go back to fearing...
