Not a bad addition to the Star Wars universe. I liken it to one of the many Star Wars novels that have been written made into a film. The target audience is definitely children, but there's enough here to satisfy fans of all ages. I liked the animation and the battles, though some of the kid-friendly dialogue got a little tiring. People love to tear down George Lucas for some reason, so it didn't surprise me that critics hated it, but it's really not that bad. I could have done without the late subplot that got Padme and C-3PO involved but understand why it was in there. Check it out if you're a fan.

The Star Wars universe attempts to break ground through computer animation. The outcome is a bevy of retreaded, yawn outloud, and block figured characters attempting to solve a kidnapping conspiracy. Nothing in this appears the slightest bit thought out and degrades the franchise further into mediocrity.

This latest addition to the Star Wars lexicon introduces a bevy of new villains and a huge amount of battles, but it leaves too many characters out of the picture (like Obi-Wan, Mace Windu, Yoda, Padme, etc.), introduces a new character who has never been mentioned before, and is just a series of build-ups and let-downs. My advice, watch the animated series and you'll see what its like for free. Final Grade: C
