Good grief.
I suppose you could say I have a certain affinity for loving Star Wars; I've always been drawn to just about anything within that universe. I am fully aware that it is a work of fiction designed to appeal to the widest possible demographic, spanning from children to adults alike. In my estimation, the original trilogy was nothing short of brilliant, and while the prequels were merely acceptable, I even managed to tolerate Jar Jar Binks.
But this...
This is sheer madness.
It has been quite some time since I have witnessed such a concentrated mountain of idiocy on screen. It seems that everything which once provided substance or quality to Star Wars has been either completely omitted or utterly butchered, whereas every single element that was previously nonsensical has been amplified to a degree that feels insulting to one's intelligence. If you thought you disliked Jar Jar (and frankly, I doubt anyone didn't), then I suggest you brace yourselves for two characters that are significantly worse: Rotta the Hutt is a baby Hutt that does little more than drool, fart, and stink—essentially acting as a non-stop fountain of cheap toilet humor—while Ziro the Hutt is presented as a feminized gay Hutt, which feels terribly stereotypical and gratingly irritating. There is simply nothing of merit to be found in the Clone Wars, not even for the most die-hard Star Wars enthusiasts.
George Lucas, I implore you, please stop! Perhaps you might consider watching Wall-E or perhaps something else from Pixar just to learn how one actually crafts a high-quality animated film!
