TFR 89: Stinky the Hutt

Hey, does anybody remember the Star Wars animated film that came out in theaters around 2008? Me neither. …at least, that’s what we’d be saying if the resulting Cartoon Network animated series didn’t, um… get really good.

Yes, we’re covering the 2008 theatrical Clone Wars movie, aka the Thing That Almost Killed Star Wars As a Viable Franchise. Barring the actual Clone Wars series, we get into the nitty gritty of the era of Star Wars between Episodes III and the Disney takeover where George Lucas just sort of gave up. Between the awful pilot being released as a theatrical movie, the Dark Horse comics being subpar, and prospect of any more live action films being made basically dead, it was a dark time.

So grab your lightsabers and lets rip and tear Clone Wars: Hutt Family Reunion!
