Star Wars - The Clone Wars

Once again, we journey through time and space to a certain galaxy a long time ago. Jabba the Hutt's son has been kidnapped and the Jedis are racing against time to retrieve the wayward child and prevent the separatist army from gaining more power.

Yes, it's a Star Wars movie. The series' first feature-length outing in animated form, this is by no means a bad movie. The action sequences are kinetic and hold the eye, the animation style is detailed and it remains within the boundaries of the canon.

That being said, the dialogue is almost unpalatably wooden in parts, Ahsoka really starts to grate on the nerves and the plot feels a little incomplete and lacking a climax.
