Apparently the reviews have been so bad that Lucas has embargoed the reviews and sent out take-down notices.

Me, personally, I'm kind of ambivalent about the movie. The animation, to me, looks like a computer game. And I'm just not sure that I want to spend $20+ (two tix + junk food) to see it. Maybe I'll wait for it to hit the dollar theaters (which are $2.50).

Russet told me about this over dinner and we were kind of dubious, but it sadly is true.
"Bush's Prescription for Bad Health Care
A new Health and Human Services rule has been proposed by the Bush administration that would put radically anti-choice ideology above women's health care needs. The rule deliberately confuses many types of birth control with abortion and would allow health care providers to deny patients basic services and information on the basis of personal bias.
In practical terms, that means that critical sexual health information could be left unsaid, and prescriptions for basic birth control left unwritten. When more and more families are uninsured and having difficulty accessing health care at all, implementing a rule that will limit access to health services is unconscionable and just plain wrong.
This rule will only hurt the women who most need help at times when they are most vulnerable, and we must do everything in our power to stop it from taking effect. We need you to speak out. Please let President Bush know that this change is wrong."
