Comic Con Report 2008: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Panel
By Chris “El Guero” Mora on July 25, 2008

THE WARS BEGIN AGAIN


Hello legions of the Star Wars faithful, El Guero here reporting from Hall H or as we here like to call it the Hell Hall. There is a lot going on in the Star Wars universe and its ever expanding merchandising world.

First we had a good look of the video game know as Star Wars The Force Unleashed a fist person video game that tells the story of Darth Vader’s apprentice, that’s right folks I never knew he had one either. The graphics and game play rival the effects of the movie with a lot of familiar ships and characters interlaced with new characters. For any techno geek the game will be very appealing especially those of you who ever wanted to become the man/robot Darth Vader himself.

Nintendo not to be undersold has also come with a game lone to cash in on the Star Wars franchise. We saw glimpses of the new game that will allow players to wield their own light saber in the Star Wars world. Again rock solid graphics and true style game play from the looks of the clips they showed us.

As I sit here wedged between Boba Fett and the ugliest Princess Leia I have ever seen I thin back to a simpler time when the films were good and the marketing limited. Now this explosion of merchandising madness seems to take away a little form the experience and I notice a lot of empty seats as the extended previews begin to roll. The animation is stylistically different from any other form I have seen but it looks great on the massive HD screens here in the Hall. The Clone Wars covers that period of time that most do not seem to care about between episode two and episode three. I have to give credit to Warner Brothers they not only provided a lot of clips but each of them were close to two minutes long.

The movie and subsequent eventual television series looks in a word awesome, the effects and overall feel of the films seem to capture the essence of the Star Wars franchise. Clearly the film and television show are a chance for the money grubbing corporations to continue to cash in on the Star Wars franchise, but the film looks great. It is clear that a lot of hard work went into the development of this newest version og the franchise. It is also a chance to give the fans more of what they are dying for more of the feeling we all got from those original movies.

Guero out from the Hall of Hell
