I see alot of talking about the animations and stuff of this, but when i read it, it sounded to me like it would be an actual fluid piece of work and animation. even if it is flash, there are alot of decent pieces of flash work out there.

I might just get it for that bonus. I wouldn't worry if you are outside the US though, it will show up on a torrent or youtube a couple days after the US release. If you pay honest cash for the DVD, I wouldn't feel bad about downloading an extra.

Wait, this guy is the editor-in-chief and he didn't even know they made an animated feature based on the prequel comics? How is that possible? Wouldn't they have to secure the rights to it and get permission and all that good stuff? Sounds like some BS, or else this guy's just really out of the loop.

Oh crap! You're probably right! When I read "cool movement of panels", I thought they meant panels during transformation...

If it's just some stupid "read-along with Peter Cullen", where you just look at the panels of the Comics and hear the voice actors read them out loud, then that is well... pretty frikkin' lame. I could do that myself, what's the point?

I was all excited thinking it was a new cartoon or something, but the more I think about it, the more you're probably right. I guess this story doesn't deserve the breaking news banner anymore!


To be honest, I've been thinking about this more and more and it's probably going to be OK at best. The last Walmart exclusive like this that I bought for Star Wars was actually a clips piece for R2-D2 or something like that a couple of years ago. It was a separate DVD that I think it came with the ROTS dvd-Walmart only. The video wound up being fullscreen (came with my widescreen edition) and the video quality absolutely sucked. With this being a pan and rehash of the stills with little new action (from the description anyway), it just might not be worth getting all excited about. I know the video that came with ROTS was so bad I never even watched the whole thing.

I just hope that it's an actual extra versus a separate DVD. That way, at least it'll be widescreen. Keep your fingers crossed that they'll do this right.

I dont think the comic thing is going to be fully animated. I thinks its going to be like the Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel for the PSP. Its still like reading a comic except parts of the panel are animated and theres voice over and sound effects. If you have a PSP check it out. Its pretty damn cool. Cant wait for this DVD. Wounder if i can reserve a copy at walmart?

Nice, I couldn't get all the prequel comics. Flash animation or not, it'll be cool to see all 4 issues in one way shape or form.
