Obi Wan Can Whittle A Beard With His Lightsaber

Clone Wars Obi Wan

So here are some photos of this summer’s Clone Wars. Good news, it’s not directed by Georgy boy. Bully. I’m somewhat unsure of the style. I saw a trailer with the characters in action, but it was taken down before I could link it up. In some ways, I kind of like it. Though it looks like Obi Wan is wearing a fun piece of folk art wood carving for a beard, this is a decent translation of the animated series style (the Might questionnaire is supposed to ask which is worse, the Clone Saga or One More Day, not Clone Wars. DOH!).

Clon Wars Anakin

Here’s emo boy Skywalker. Can’t they tell he’s got evil tendencies by now? Those aren’t the eyes of the chosen one. Those are the eyes of a Sandpeople murderer!

Clone Wars

Apparently, when you become a Sith Jedi, your skin goes bad and you loose your hair. Well, except for Duku. But I suspect he wears a wig.

I hope some of the other Jedi get more face time. We know Obi Wan, Anakin, Mace, Yoda. I’d like to see more than just a cameo or two from some of the other Jedi. Also, I thought this was going to be on TV, but according to the blurb in Empire, sounds like it’s headed to theaters.

So Star Wars fans, does this reek of awesome or does this make you cry?

    The style is meant to be reminiscient of the old Thunderbirds wooden puppets, as George Lucas wanted to do something not-quite anime and not quite Final Fantasy photo-realistic .

    I think as far as what he was going for, it works. And from the trailer that I saw on StarWars.com, this will definitely deliver and earn its place next to Genndy Tartovsky’s Clone Wars cartoon miniseries.

    I am so used to weird styles that I barely even notice them anymore. I think it would be nice to see more star warsy action.

    And she isn’t human.

    Meh. I’m sure I’ll eventually get around to watching it, but Lucas pissed me off so bad with 1-3 that I have all but zero interest in Star Wars at the moment (though I saw Aaron Alston is writing SW again….).

    As far as Sith Lords being bald, well, a major cause of baldness is too much testosterone. I think they definitely qualify. So either Jedi are nancy boys or the universe could have been saved by getting the Sith laid a little more often.

    Well, we all know that Lucan and Art Direct and Production Value a filn to frakkin DEATH. But the stunningly lame scripts, dialogue and acting of Episodes I-III conviced Me that not only does George has his head up his millionare ass, he’s totally screwed the pooch AND jumped the shark for Me. And apparently no one at lucasfilm is either high enough on the food chain or has the stone to drop script on George’s Desk and say “My GOD, Gorge. We can’t shoot this crap. This SUCKS. It reeks of EPIC FAIL.”

    Come on, seriously. That whiny emo punk Annikin in vader’s armor… Nigga’, PLEASE. This thing may look fabulous, but I have little hope for the script.
