Star Wars: The Clone Wars
I have been excited about Star Wars: The Clone Wars ever since finishing the original non-cg-animated volumes. No offense to the new trilogy, but I found the animated version to be more exciting than all but Revenge of the Sith.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The good people at ComingSoon have caught up with George Lucas to discuss all television projects he has coming our way. Though we shouldn't expect the live-action Star Wars series to arrive until 2010, Clone Wars will arrive this summer. With the project approaching both a theatrical and television premiere date, Lucas was willing to give some new information from the CG production.
ComingSoon.net: How much overlap will there be between Genndy's "Clone Wars" animated series and the new feature film and television series? George Lucas: Well, the Genndy show was an experiment that we did with Cartoon Network that was 5 minutes each, they went sort of where commercials normally go, and it was an experiment, not only in doing five-minute shows, but it was an experiment in trying to translate "Star Wars" into an animated medium, and we felt very good about that. We thought it turned out really well, and we then took it to the next level, which was to do a full-out animated series of "The Clone Wars." There's not much overlap. Genndy did most of the animation and most of the stories for the first experimental series, and this one I'm pretty much following the mythology and the rules of the features, so it's a little bit different, but it's very much like the features except it's in animation. We decided to do it in a slightly different style than Genndy did, still in the anime genre, but we took it a little differently.
