And adults told to quit smoking are notorious backsliders. in a nutshell: Genndy Tartakovsky (creator of ``Samurai Jack'') has made some short but sweet, very coolly inventive and epic-on-a-small-scale films that are must-sees for the remaining ``Star Wars'' cult members and keen diversions for backsliders and everyone else.
