Title: Star Wars: Clone Wars

Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment, but I thought the new trailer (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809991325/video/7744414/) for the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars thing looked kind of cool.

I found the currently available DVD somewhat shallow and disappointing.  Kind of like the movies of Episodes 1-3.

Definitely shallow, although it seemed like the people behind it were having more fun that Lucas was with (at least) Episodes 1-2.  Still, I remember it had some cool set-pieces.  (Rain sizzling on Anakin's light saber was a nice visual.)

This is a new series, though, fully CGI'd, with the first four episodes or so getting a theatrical release this summer.  I'm the first to admit that a CGI cartoon movie makes me feel...nervous.  But I thought the trailer was interesting...

Well, that trailer was put together well enough to definitely spark my interest....
