Meh. Tolerable, but I'm still not very entertained by this series. It's so... dull. I wonder if it has something to do with it being all CGI? And its missing the iconic Star Wars music. I liked the Tartovsky (sp?) Clone Wars so much more... even if it was in that cartoonish, hyper-real style.
There's something seriously wrong with a star wars show or movie NOT having that music. Even the Family Guy spoof Blue Harvest had the John Williams music.
I never had the hate for Jar Jar so many people do. Sure he's annoying and outlandishly clumsy, and dumb as a fucking brick, but I know some people just like him.
I'm willing to let it continue until they decide Grievous should be an asthmatic pansy again; in which case it will be nuked promptly with Jar Jar strapped to the warhead.
First they turn Anakin into a respectable leading man, and now they've made Jar Jar tolerable? I'd say they're doing pretty well.
Still annoying as hell. I can't be the only one thinking "Well, maybe he'll meet a gruesome demise...wait, didn't he have about 10 seconds of screen time in EpIII? "
The problem is when you introduce a character who is directly aimed at kids you can't later chop his head off with a lightsaber. Not without scarring some six year olds mind. "Look Mummy, It's Jar Jar Inks!" - 'Mesa not like da look of dat lightsaber' - - zap - "OOhhhhh my God! AHHHHHHHHHH! Jar! Jar!"
