   "Kids" is a relative term - I didn't mean 5 year olds.  :-)   
      
   Even having said that, the so-called "trade route blockade" and   
   "political maneouverings" were really minimal. They could have been   
   MUCH more "boring".

   "Looks good" is simply a personal opinion, which is why I never said   
   that above ... it does look good to me, although some characters are   
   better done than others, and some of the voices actors for the   
   characters are miscast (most noticeably Ziro the Hutt and the Sean   
   Conery-sound-alike Separatist commander).

   It still fits well with the movies, even if it is done in a very   
   different style. The voices of the main characters are mostly close to   
   the movie actors (and in a couple of cases are the movie actors).   
      
   The previous Clone Wars animated show was in a different style again,   
   but was still good ... and much better than I was expecting after   
   seeing the hopeless Samurai Jack done by the same team.   
      
   Again, as a personal opinion I would have probably preferred a Starship   
   Troopers: Roughnecks style of computer animation, but I'm happy with   
   the movie as it is.

   I should have more acurately said that nothing can be as bad as the   
   Holiday Special.
