Moriarty from AICN has just completed his bitchfest about being “blocked” forever from Skywalker Ranch, an insult to him so great that now he has lost his love of writing about the star wars universe. Apparently the grey headed man himself blocked him from putting up a review for the new animated clone wars movie (and only him, Mr. Mcweeny moans), and now he’s acting like a 2 year old on a temper tantrum over it.

Drew Mcweeny has had many opportunities in the film business, a friend of Harry Knowles, a writer of two (2!) TV-movies that were directed by John Carpenter, and a fanboy who had the opportunity to screen the prequel movies early.

What a little bitch. I would love to be personally banned from Skywalker ranch. Someone so well known in the entertainment industry that George Lucas himself fears you for fear of what you will write about his movies. Especially when the movies you get to write with one of the best directors of all time are utter horse shit. The only entertaining thing this little bastard writes are his movie reviews.

Enough of the AICN whinefest, is the clone wars as bad as Roger Ebert, Harry Knowles and his compatriots, Variety, and a slugfest of other critics would have you believe? The answer is, it depends on you.

1.Did you like the Prequel trilogy?

2.Do you like kid’s cartoons, like Avatar?

3.Are you smart enough to understand that this is a cartoon made by a fan for fans, and not a real Star Wars movie?

If you can answer yes to all three of the above questions, you will like this movie, a lot. This is a promotion reel for the new 100 episode TV series debuting on Cartoon Network this fall. This is not Episode 7.

The music is not the same! There’s no fox logo! There’s no title crawl! The animation makes the characters look like action figures! There’s a whiny tween girl Jedi in it! There’s a Hutt that talks like a gay deceased journalist! I live in my mom’s basement!

Please stop. I was so worried after reading this stuff that I was worried I was going to hate it. This is a movie for Star Wars fans and their children only to enjoy. If you are looking for a Daniel Day Lewis or Scorsese Oscar winner, you are in the wrong auditorium.

I’m not stupid. The prequel trilogy is not as good as the original trilogy. We all know Mr. Lucas is only as good as those he surrounds himself with, and is a better idea man than a writer. The animation in this fan film cartoon will have you reaching for your controller. But I had a lot of fun with this man’s entertainment. And I hope he keeps making stuff like this as long as he’s alive. His crap ideas are better than most men’s great ideas when it comes to storytelling, and that is a compliment.

He once said that he likes B movies, and his movies are all big budget B movies. He warned you, Drew McWeeny and Harry the Hutt. And those people who say he writes this crap to sell toys? Yeah, he does. Would you?
