"By the moons of Tatooine! I'm a card-carrying member of the Boba Fett Fan Club, but does anyone else wish that George Lucas would make a movie set in a galaxy far, far away from Star Wars? Not Lucas himself, apparently. Remember that animated Star Wars series about the Clone Wars? Well, it seems that Uncle George liked the results so much that he's ordered up a full-on theatrical release for a new Clone Wars animated film that will kick off a new series. "I felt there were a lot more Star Wars stories left to tell," says Lucas, executive producer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which will premiere on the Cartoon Network in the fall. "I was eager to start telling some of them through animation and, at the same time, push the art of animation." (Start telling?) The new film, which takes place between the events of Episodes II and III (before Anakin becomes Darth), will hit theaters on Aug. 15. And I'll probably be there on opening night. Sigh. — Mickey O'Connor"

Uh so how is it gonna be different from the Clone Wars cartoons that aired a few years ago?

2/13/2008 11:01:00 AM

it's all cgi

so really you have to ask "how is it different than the movies"

jk

here's the trailer

*sigh* at George Lucas

Just when you thought that Star Wars couldn't be milked anymore.

and so will all of you

the Clone Wars cartoon was decent

the only problem is that George didn't have an active role in that

whereas with this he apparently does

2/13/2008 12:36:28 PM

i wish george lucas would stop plastering the star wars name all over his steaming piles of shit.

Fixed this for you.

Oh, yeah, that was unclearly written.

I meant that the problem with the new series will be George's involvement.

this seems [old]

and by [old], i mean already posted on here like a year ago or something

Fuck, I'll spend my money on it.

2/13/2008 10:32:21 PM

I'm okay with the idea, however I do not like the art style in that trailer. They should just do more Clone Wars cartoons.

2/13/2008 11:10:45 PM

I guess I was the only one that didn't think the Clone War cartoons were any good. Just a series of quick action scenes in rapid succession.

Star Wars movies are completely played out and I'd like to think that I have some self control. The only way I'd check this out is if it were a video game, not a movie.

The only way I could be convinced to buy anything anymore star wars related is if they sold the original dvd trilogy without the god awful updated cgi parts.

2/16/2008 3:53:45 PM

i think they already did that.

2/16/2008 4:22:50 PM

They did indeed, except the film for each is no more than a reproduction of the laserdiscs from the 80's. Visual quality is quite poor.

2/16/2008 5:22:24 PM

What they need to do is release the THX version of the original on DVD. That way they are cleaned up with better sound. I'd buy those in a second.

2/16/2008 6:30:39 PM

imma see it

According to that site, the movie will just be 3 or 4 of the TV episodes stitched together so, I'm not as impressed. I'll probably just DVR the series and watch them.

looks better than episodes I, II or III.
