I've never been so bored by a movie with the words "Star" and "Wars" attached to it.

Basically, we step back in the Anakin Skywalker storyline to a time during the Clone Wars when he and general Obi Wan Kenobi are fighting the seperatists droid army.

Except now, we have a new Sith lord named Asajj Ventress. Where the f*ck did she come from? I thought Sith's only came in pairs? The master and the apprentice. Who is this chick attached to? And I thought all Sith's were deemed "Darth." What makes HER so special? F*ck her.

So, the big objective for Anakin is to rescue Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped son, referred to as a huttlet. WHAT? It was beyond lame.

The last problem with the storyline was Anakin gets a padiwan learner. How can he when he's still technically the padiwan of Obi Wan? Can a padiwan HAVE a padiwan? Not by what the double trilogy has taught us previously.

I know I'm flying my nerd flag by pointing all this crap out, but these are fundemental Jedi plot points getting bent. So, that's what I say to this piece of sh*t animated project. Get bent!

I've never been so bored by anything with the words Star Wars attached to it. The story was NOT engaging and did NOT feel like it fit into the entire Anakin Skywalker storyline. AND his padiwan Ahsoka could NOT be more annoying.

The animation was so-so at best as was the vocal performances; however, Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings trilogy) reprises as the voice of Count Dooku and he's awesome, but whatever…it couldn't save the movie.

Simply, this did not feel like a Star Wars venture and doesn't deserve our time. It should be skipped. It is maybe NOT the worst movie of this year (2008), but it could be for sure the most boring
