Cartoon Network Previews `Clone Wars`

Quote:
The Cartoon Network unveiled the first footage from its pending series of "Star Wars: Clone Wars" shorts Thursday (July 10) to reporters at the TV Critics Association press tour.

Quote:
As the title implies, "Clone Wars" will follow the story begun in "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones." Jedis Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker lead clone troopers in a war against separatist forces led by the evil Count Dooku.

Quote:
Other familiar "Star Wars" characters, including Mace Windu, Padme Amidala and Yoda, will also be featured in the cartoons.

Quote:
The series of 20 shorts is scheduled to premiere Nov. 7.

Quote:
"Samurai Jack" and "Dexter`s Laboratory" creator Genndy Tartakovsky is leading the "Clone Wars" team, with cooperation from "Star Wars" creator George Lucas and Lucasfilm.

Quote:
The clips TV critics saw contained finished animation but temporary sound and music tracks. They included several impressive battle and flight sequences, and a scene in which Chancellor Palpatine puts Anakin in charge of a clone-trooper regiment, over the objections of Yoda and Obi-Wan.

Quote:
The Imperial March plays over one scene of marching troops, although that may not make it to the final version.

Quote:
"Clone Wars" will continue the story laid out in "Episode II," although it doesn`t appear that it will establish plot points for "Episode III".

Quote:
Lazarus does say that the shorts could lead to Quote:
"a more longer-form partnership between Cartoon Network and the `Star Wars` franchise."

Lets hope the animation isn`t like Dexter or Samuri Jack.

the animation on Samurai Jack is outstanding.. it has a great cinematic feel that will suit the star wars universe..

I`ve seen the pictures of Anakin and Obi Wan, and the style is the same as Dexter`s Laboratory, just with the Star Wars Twist.

I`ll watch them, but I`m not really too bothered since they are so short.

Star Wars is dying, leave it alone.

Ok, so because Soprano says Star Wars is dying, it must be true.

Seriously, over $600m at the Box Office for Attack Of The Clones, which is the 5th film in the series. How many other films make that kind of money, and how many films in their 5th outing do that?

Star Wars is very much alive and well.
