This was an early Now Playing Podcast review, shorter and spoiler-free. It was not intended to be part of our Star Wars Retrospective Series.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars arrives as something few people expected: a brand-new Star Wars movie in theaters. Animated rather than live-action, this film serves as an extended pilot for the upcoming Clone Wars television series, setting the stage for a new chapter in the saga. Hardcore fans will show up automatically, but the real question is whether this movie offers anything for viewers who are not already deep in the mythology. Star Wars non-fan Stuart (from our review of The Midnight Meat Train) is back to take on The Clone Wars to see if it stands on its own or functions strictly as fan service. Listen in to find out who this film is really for.
