Mark your calendars for August 15, 'cause that's the day more Star Wars comes out in theaters. Some of you may say "More Star Wars? Didn't they finish that already? Didn't Anakin already become Darth Vader?" These are all true. A quite successful animated mini series called The Clone Wars was released on Cartoon Network between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. If you haven't seen it, and you're a Star Wars fan, you must watch it! I think the series is better than all 6 hours of the entire prequel trilogy (Episodes I - III). Anyways, on the heels of the success of that mini series and also the completion of the prequel trilogy, George Lucas has started developing Star Wars television series. One of them is a CG animated series on the more of the Clone Wars. The film releasing on August 15 is a compilation of the first 3 episodes of the show. The success of the 1st Clone Wars series, I believe, came from the fact that it was full of massive battles, was devoid of all the boring dialogue from the prequels, and Lucas did not have a n active hand in the story or the development. This new series is Lucas heavy in influence and I'm not sure if we're going to get the same magic we got before. I'm still excited about seeing more Star Wars in theaters though! Below is the theatrical trailer that released, as well as the original sneak peek of the series. Again, if you haven't seen the original Clone Wars series, give it a shot! I've got pics of what the DVD's look like under the trailers. If you Netflix, click the pics to add them to your queue.
