Re: Will Clone Wars do Star Wars justice?

100 episodes?!? I assume is not going to be 'primetime'...let's hope for the live action series...

"Following the theatrical debut, the television series will premiere in the U.S on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT."

"Each week, viewers will see a thrilling 30-minute "mini movie"


-SW INSIDER

(sounds primetime to me. i read the 100 ep. quote somewhere else. i don't have it in front of me at the momment to post.)

Well I just finished watching the new Hulk movie (WAY better than the first one btw) and they showed this new Clone Wars trailer at the beginning. Looked pretty good on a big screen.

In the spirit of Star Wars...here's the new launch trailer for Star Wars: Force Unleashed.

This is why you play SW: The Force Unleashed. It fills in some space between 3 and 4.You even get to play Vader in the beginning of the game.

There's a bunch more at starwars.com. Movie looks ok from what I can see but so far nothing amazes me the way a Star Wars movie should (I probably sound like I'm asking too much). Anyway, it seems like it's geared for a young audience kinda like the prequels.

Well fellow Star Wars nerds, it looks like the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated movie is going to be the first Star Wars movie released on Blu!!!!

I think this will. The little cartoon shorts that were on TV had more creativity and energy in them than the prequels.

They all look like Jay Leno with those square jaws.

The Clone Wars movie -- which takes place between Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith -- sees Anakin and Obi-Wan (voice actors Matt Lanter and James Arnold Taylor, the latter of whom has been the voice of Fred Flintstone) trying to secure the co-operation of Jabba The Hutt, whose son has been kidnapped by Dooku (Lee), who in turn attempts to convince Jabba that the Jedis actually committed the kidnapping.

So it is that Anakin and his new Padewan, a 14-year-old girl named Ahsoka (Ashley Eckstein) set out on a rescue mission while droids battle clones and Obi- Wan battles Dooku's own Sith apprentice, the lethal Ventress (Nika Futterman).

For such a male-centric series, it's a change of pace to add not one but two female characters, both of whom can take care of themselves. "I happen to have a couple of daughters. So I said, 'Instead of making it a guy, why not make it a girl? It's fun and girls are just as hard to deal with as boys are when they're teenagers.

"With Ahsoka, I wanted to develop a character who'd help Anakin settle down. At the end of Episode II, he's kind of a wild child, and he and Obi-Wan don't get along."

There are few voices from the movies here -- including Lee, Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu and Anthony Daniels as C-3PO. Part of it was budgetary, Lucas admits. "A really great actor, like a Tom Hanks, doing an animated movie was a revolutionary idea that belonged to (Dreamworks animation boss) Jeff Katzenberg. They do it for the publicity, two days in the studio, then they spend two weeks doing press.

"Well, there are a lot of great actors who aren't movie stars. And to be honest with you, much as I love you guys (in the media), I don't think I need a big movie star like Angelina Jolie to go out and publicize my movie."

There's more at the link. I think this will be shown in 3-D IMAX, if so I'll see it cause my 6 yr old wants to see it. Honestly, it's cause of him. I'm such a good parent.

BTW, Angelina Jolie as a female Jedi...two tumbs up!
