There was so much more that could have been done. I think Lucas needs to sit down and watch some anime like the Kenshin Trust/Betrayal OVA. I have no idea why Lucas wanted to make it look like the Thunderbirds. Helloooooo... This is about Anakins transition to the Dark Side. Asoka is such a great character. I can't see how Lucas keeps messing up with such a great franchise, and storyline.; ▶ Reply to This

Which I feel is the best thing from the new trilogy. I also felt this film was a big disappointment, it was too "kid-ish". Animated series should take a page from "Hulk Vs." and "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm". These are animated projects that not only stay true to their roots, but help perpetuate the overall saga for old fans and attracting new fans.
