Ok, this whole marketing campaign for the new Clone Wars movie is really annoying me. I have no problem with them making the movie itself (Ok, I have a little problem, because um, didn't we already go over the events of the Clone Wars? I'm pretty sure we did.) but they're marketing it to five year olds, at the expense of the rest of us.

I just saw an ad where Anakin handed a toy to a kid. There's one or two where they glorify the Clone Troopers. Did these people see Revenge of the Sith? Did they miss the part where the Clone Troopers become the Storm Troopers, and were more or less under Palpatine's control the entire time? And Anakin + kids = NO. He killed the younglings, remember?

I realize that this movie is geared toward kids more than any of the other Star Wars things were, but it would be nice if they remembered that they have a large number of older fans too. And, you know, stop lauding the Clone Troopers. Being one of those is not exactly what should be high on a kid's career list.

AMEN...


I even contemplated taking a week to hate Star Wars...


Then I saw that they made new toys that aren't related to the cartoon and I had my own little *squee* shhh, don't tell anyone.

It's ok.


Andrew and I got toys from McDonald's, and were pleased to get Wicket and C-3PO, nothing related to the cartoons. :)
