As more star systems get swept into the Clone Wars, the valiant Jedi knights struggle to maintain order. Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano embark on a mission that brings them face-to-face with Jabba the Hutt. Plotting against them is evil Count Dooku and his agent, Asajj Ventress, who would ensure that the Jedi fail. Meanwhile, Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi lead the clone army against the forces of the Dark Side.

Critics Consensus

Mechanical animation and a less-than stellar script make The Clone Wars a pale shadow of George Lucas' once great franchise.

C-

The movie really is just a series of long emotionless action scenes. That's really all this movie is.

The "Star Wars" franchise has become what the marketing executive always thought: an excuse to steal money from children. The Lucas empire has finally succumbed to the Dark Side.

Despite some absolutely gorgeous animation and adjusting expectations for what Clone Wars is meant to be, the Force is not strong with this one.

Not a friendly flick for anyone who hasn't stayed on top of the Bunyanesque, expanded universe timeline.

Pretty crap but it produces one of the best characters in Star Wars, ahsoka tano Although she isn’t likeable at first if you watch the series you will love her. Also it opened the doorway to the Clone Wars tv show which is one of the best Star Wars series in my opinion.
