errrrrmmm....how isn't it?. It's a cartoon with cheesey dialog and no actuall gore, adult humour or scenes or any inults.
Anyone could see it was for kids.
The old trilogy was for everyone. I remember watching it when i was 7 in 2000 and thinking how boring it was...look at me now!
Re: The Clone Wars destroyed much of the Star Wars franchise and fanbase.
So... let me see if I got that right... you think Star Wars is for kids? Then Lord of the Rings is, too. And Stargate.
Did you ever consider including something else into your theory than the fact that it is not real?
I mean, if Mickey Mouse took out a lightsabre and started slicing other Disney characters for any cause except bloodthirstyness, that would still go as "for kids"?
The Clone Wars just lacked any kind of seriousness. Not necessarily because there might have been nothing serious about it but because the style and certain sequences simply ridiculed any attempt to be serious in the first place.

I don't mind the The Clone Wars. Well, I didn't really like the movie but the TV Show isn't all that bad. I watch it online from StarWars.com every week since I don't get Cartoon Network but remember, some Star Wars is better than no Star Wars even if it means Cartoons, that's the way I see it. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Would you rather nothing? At least they're putting an effort into refreshing Star Wars and making something new without ruining the movies.
I think it actually draws in more fans now than it destroys. Each story tells of something new that happened in the Star Wars Universe whether its told as a Cartoon or a real life motion picture, its still the same. Just think, the kids that watch the show now will grow up enjoying Star Wars and well, make more dedicated fans in the future. And the show isn't just for little kids, look at me I'm no little kid but I still watch it.

Sigh.......... The original trilogy was written for a young audience. Just because it is watched by millions does not take away from that fact. Yes, just like Lord of the Rings which Tolkien wrote for his children (thems kids too).
I'm a huge SW fan and a huge LOTR fan, but at 21 I can still see the simple truth. It's not a bad thing.
Another example is Harry Potter. Books written for kids. Movies made for kids. Enjoyed by all ages. I love loads of different movies. Loads of kids movies. Do you think I'm insulting you by saying that Star Wars is for kids? If that is the case you really need to get off the computer for a bit and take a reality check. Wow.

Re: The Clone Wars destroyed much of the Star Wars franchise and fanbase.
*Kinetic, do me a favour and take a chill pill before you post again. Here, I have one right here:
I'm sure you can prove your points and carry a discussion without resorting to personal attacks. I don't care who you are, how old you are and how much you know about Star Wars. Everyone here are entitled to their own opinions. If you agree with them, good. If you don't, be respectful and agree that you disagree. Respect and maturity are the keywords here.
Also, take a look at the forum FAQ/Rules and read the guidelines before you continue posting, ok? Thank you.

In empirical sciences, we tend to provide proof as fact and not just say something and call it fact.

Aaaaaaaand I'm 20 and still don't see the point you're trying to make here, sorry.

Tenno Aang herewith wishes to state that he did not, does not and never will like or, even worse, enjoy Harry Potter. Quite the contrary.

No, I'm not but if you feel that attacked so fast, you my friend need to get out and talk to people. No offence.

Could you provide me a list of characters that have died in Disney movies? And please only come back to me when they number at least in the hundreds.
And now... other than presenting more evidence etc., I suggest we drop the Disney topic and get back to berating The Clone Wars.
