I like the style, but the clip was just dull. I've seen more rousing battle footage in the Clone Wars game, let alone TV or film; it's all by-the-numbers, and Anakin's "plan" - what, he hangs back until a few clones are dead, then drops down and toys with the WotW droids while more of his men die before finishing the walkers off with two slices? Really? That's a plan?
I suppose you can easily excuse it as being meant for kids, and deliberately made easy-to-follow, but I'm not sure even kids will find this thrilling.

Upon reviewing that video again.
Did anyone else see both clones and B-1s taking blaster hits without going down?
Maybe that's why the clones aren't afraid of charging.

And this is why you don't watch anything produced by Ronald D. Moore after he had his brain surgically removed and replaced with a bag of elephant semen.-Gramzamber, on why Caprica sucks
Look what they did to Yoda's voice!Ender wrote:Man, Obi-wan's voice is so different it just jars me. The tactics were stupid, though if the idea was cause confusion and focus so that Anakin could get in position I guess it makes a bit more sense. And man did the AT-RTs move fast.

It does look bland, doesn't it? Yay for another movie with fucking Tatooine in it.

The unsound tactical methodology of both the GAR and the CIS aside (something that AotC and RotS have steeled me against), I have to say that the clip was remarkably unengaging. The animation style is a bit jarring, but I think the sequence fails more due to visual direction. There's little cohesion between each shot: some, like the bits where Kenobi's troops charge, seem almost like they've been sped up, while others linger on a particular perspective for too long. The voice acting honestly doesn't bother me that much, and there were a few interesting moments, but overall, it does fall flat.
