   	Oh, that's all right.  I never got around to seeing the movie at   
   all, much less in November, so you're still ahead of me.

   	I'm a touch surprised by this expectation, actually.  While   
   I didn't know anything about Clone Wars: The Movie before seeing the   
   trailer ahead of Wall-E, the trailer did make it look ... well, like   
   a thoroughly nonessential bit of fluff animated by people who didn't   
   know they were going to have to show the rough drafts.  The cardboard   
   stand out front, by the video games in the theater, didn't help that   
   impression any, and the whole production seemed to just be covered in   
   a hope-dampening field.  Maybe the cool parts of Return Of The Sith   
   just weren't good enough to overcome the vague sadness all the post-   
   1997 Star Wars stuff has provided.   
      
   	(I know there are people who were wildly excited by the Clone   
   Wars Little Cartoons from the Samurai Jack guy, but when I did see them   
   circumstances called for them to be run all together at length and that   
   just exacerbated how these things seemed to be produced by a Markov   
   Chain generator inspired by actual Star Wars stuff.  How The Movie   
   worked out I don't know, although it does seem to have been less of an   
   algorithmic routine.)
