Right. Sometimes people confuse "children's" for a lack of sophistication. That is not the case at all with Star Wars or many Disney movies, etc. I think of Star Wars as being for "the 8 year old in all of us." I know a lot of people whose inner child is dead. They don't like Star Wars much, or
Disneyland! Honselty, I don't see a big difference in tone from the OT - it also had scenes with whimsy and scenes that get pretty dark. Clone Wars goes for all of that over the course of its run, even in the first season.
