Is it the first time they meet? I know Grievous first appeared in the other Clone Wars animated series, and I think he was also in some of the comics, so he might've seen everybody before that.

No, Oct. 3rd starts the next story-arc after the "movie."

Personally I'm going to watch the series on Cartoon Network first to see if this thing is any good at all or sucks as bad as I'm constantly hearing. If I like it at all, then I'll think about renting or buying the Clone Wars Blu-Ray.

IMO the movie sucked, it was geared towards little kids. I will probably rent it just because it will look good in HD but not worth buying.

God what a horrible "movie". I felt like I was watching someone play a video game. Even I, a big Star Wars fan, would never recommend this pile of shit to anyone. I cant decide which is worse, the movie 10,000 or this.

[ben1080p]

PASS for me. This is just a wannabe Star Wars flick that was made just to get some quick cash.

Will definitely pass this. It was fun to watch once in the cinema, but that's it. I won't buy this for home viewing. And this is coming from a Star Wars fan. It's just awful.

Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but will this be the first Blu-ray to be THX Certified?

[halokilla77]

Missed it at the theaters, will pick this up. The Target cover is nice. Now, when will the Star Wars movies make it to Blu-ray?

Was is that bad?

[gene9p]

I have them on dvd and they are well done and interesting and they look great upconverted..but the movie put me to sleep..it is definitely eye candy and the sound was probably the best I ever heard in a movie theater...it is definitely a rental till someone sells it here for 10 bucks shipped

Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was more fun staring to down at my popcorn. My 5 year old boy even got bored w/it about half way threw.......!!!!

I guess this will be a digital download for me. From XBL since that is the cheapest for me since I only pay $10 to $14 for 1600 points.

I honestly didn't think it was all that horrible. My 5 year old loved it so much he was Captain Rex for Halloween. Is it as good as the original movies? No, not much is. However, it was a fun afternoon with my son.
