What Parents Need to Know
About Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Parents need to know that this CGI film is much tamer than the most recent live-action Star Wars movies, but it's still full of non-stop animated action, including weapon use (lightsabers, blasters, etc.) and several urban warfare sequences. The sci-fi settings, computer animation, and bloodless battles somewhat lessen the overall effect, but the level of intensity is high and constant. The plot also involves an alien infant being kidnapped; even though he won't look as cute or vulnerable to audiences as a human baby (he's basically a giant tadpole), younger children may worry about a child -- no matter what their shape or species -- in peril.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about different kinds of movie violence. Does the fact this film is animated make its depiction of war and combat more acceptable to viewers? Does the sci-fi angle make the consequences of the fights and conflicts seem less realistic? Families can also discuss how this film compares to the original 1970s live-action saga that many parents grew up with, as well as the more recent trilogy. Why do you think George Lucas decided to make another Star Wars movie?

I love it!
I love Star Wars. It is so cool! I think that it should be rated G. I like the clones best. I like R2 because he doesn't have any legs, he's a robot that has little things that movi him around and are triangle shaped.
Lives in MaineI rate this title on for age 4 and give itbooooooooooooooo
it sucked
Lives inI rate this title on for age 7 and give itGreat!
I thought that this film was great, although I do agree with the review at the top about the conflict. What I think made this film excellent was the development of the two main characters: Anakin and Obi-Wan. Anakin grows as a teacher in this movie, revealing another side to him and shows his responsibility for his Padwan. Anakin seems more of a protector in this way, more in charge- it was great to see him as the teacher this time instead of the apprentice. Obi-Wan has more humour in this movie which I think is also good. All in all, a great, character-developing movie.
