Holy press crush Batman! And they like it! (Mostly.) Yes, more spoilers.
- Los Angeles Times’ Show Tracker: “It just might be better than all the live-action prequels put together.”
- The Live Feed: “‘Clone Wars’ is likely the most photo-realistic animated TV series ever produced.”
- Premium Hollywood: “If this series stays at the quality we just witnessed, I’ll be there week after week after week.”
- Scott D. Pierce’s TV Talk (Deseret News:) “…Holy cow, it was great!”
- Tim Goodman’s The Bastard Machine (SFGate:) “I’m not sure your average adult is going to be watching this regularly, but I know my 5-year-old is going to flip for it.”
- Variety’s take is… businesslike, The Star-Ledger’s Alan Sepinwall is skeptical, IGN is mainly positive, and Zap2it’s From Inside the Box has the best collection of Dave Filoni quotes.
- The negative voices are The Oregonian’s Idiot Box, Andrew Ryan of The Globe and Mail’s L.A. Diary and MeeVee’s Joel Brown.
Joel Brown@ MeeVee: “Every time I go to Toys R Us,” Filoni said, “there are kids picking up light sabers and imagining themselves in that galaxy far, far away, and as long as it inspires them, I’m happy to make more.” Kids, we have to talk.
What point in Star Wars is for kids doesn’t Joel understand!
