(Which is great if you happen to have Cartoon Network. Remember that almost 50% of the planet is not the USA.)
I'll be seeing it, even if it does smack of Lucas seeing what Tartakovsky did and saying "hey, that's kinda cool. . . Gimme that. HEY EVERYBODY, LOOK WHAT I'M DOING!!!"
I just rewatched the Tartakovsky series, and there's a time jump right after Anakin becomes a knight. He loses the braid, and the next time we see him, he's got his shoulder-length RotS 'do. The CGI series has his hair at what looks like halfway between the two styles, so it could likely fit in there. Grievous is still a threat, as are Asajj and Durge.
And Lucas' involvement is. . . ambiguous. He's credited as the screenwriter, but that may just be for the pilot/movie (if even that much; I'm sure his Highness isn't above playing fast and lose with other peoples' screen credits).
Tartakovsky's series and the Republic Commando novels were the best things to come out of the Prequel era, and this looks to combine elements of both. Knowing that this is basically a series pilot (and that Lord Lucas would never sully his hands to screenwrite a full series), I'm hoping series writers George Krstic (co-creator of Megas XLR), Henry Gilroy (Transformers Animated: "Sound and Fury"), Paul Dini (Justice League Unlimited), and Scott Murphy (Angel) at least got to offer ideas.

To me this movie seems like a bad fanfiction. They should really leave Star Wars alone now, because in my opinion, they stopped being good after the original ones.

I had a conversation with a friend of mine the other day about this that went something like this:
Friend: So? Clone Wars?
Me: Yeah, I saw the trailer.
Friend: You gonna see it?
Me: Yeah. You?
Friend: Yeah. You think it will be any good?
Me: Honestly, I think it's gonna suck.
Friend: Yeah. Me too.
LOL! I'm a Star Wars fan, but I really am quite sure this is gonna be terrible. The real reason I want to see it is that I do CG animation as a hobby. I love looking at animation for the art form that it is. I'm going to see it for that reason. I just want to see the camera angles they chose and the visuals.

I hated it, if it was just a film on its own then id say it would have been great, but as i want to know more about the whole story then it just felt like some sort of filler like you get in anime.
