These (and not the current debacle of the same name) were originally on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005 and were created by Samurai Jack alum Genndy Tartakovsky. I believe that these two short (each volume is a little over an hour in length) volumes were far better stories than the first two prequels and the middle of Revenge of the Sith. They are how the Star Wars Universe should have been portrayed.
Good but not great. It was a fascinating story to watch (except the part in Russia seemed oddly out of place) and I think that, in the end, the film knew exactly which heartstrings to pull. I, of course, cried at the end but not because of emotional involvement with the characters.
The Muscles from Brussels actually made a pretty good film here. He makes fun of himself just enough and definitely understands that being a star really means nothing in the ontological sense. This is good film and I do recommend it.
The intellectual weight of these two scholarly giants in one room!
