First Theatrical Trailer for Animated STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS to Premiere Exclusively Across Multiple Turner Networks Thursday, May 8

Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang All to Showcase Newest Star Wars Adventure at 7:58 p.m.

[ The Trailer & Poster for Star Wars: The Clone Wars ] Star Wars fans will get an unprecedented look at the newest intergalactic adventure on Thursday, May 8, when the world-premiere trailer for the upcoming CG-animated movie Star Wars: The Clone Wars debuts across five Turner networks simultaneously.

At 7:58 p.m. in all U.S. time zones, Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang will debut an action-packed, two-minute preview of the animated adventure from creator George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation. It marks the first time a theatrical trailer has received a simultaneous, cross-network airing on Turner Networks. The trailer debuts in theaters on Friday, May 9, along with the first poster for the movie. The poster is available for pre-order exclusively at StarWarsShop. Check it out here.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars opens in movie theaters Aug. 15.

"By combining the power of the Turner Networks and the power of the Force, we're able to create a fantastic event for Star Wars fans of all ages," said Howard Roffman, vice president of Lucasfilm Ltd. "We're incredibly proud of The Clone Wars, and eager to be able to showcase it for the first time in such an exciting way."

The newest tale of adventure, intrigue and excitement in a galaxy far, far away combines the legendary storytelling of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars Saga with a signature animation style from Lucasfilm Animation.

On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains -- led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous -- are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations that fill Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The theatrical release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars tells an all-new story that leads directly in to this fall's premiere of a weekly, animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT.

Suprised they didn't debut the trailer on May the Fourth...

TV show comes out next year too

Slightly off topic: Sarge did you see Blue Harvest yet? Family Guy version of Star Wars...

may the fourth be with u khem

yeah man harvest was great

the pics ive seen of the clone wars look cool too, hoping that it aint cheesed out for kids to much

i prefer the original clone wars cartoons, sorry! these ones look like 1990's pixar equivalents

Nope the original cartoons were poo!!!

NO WAY!

if u think the new ones are better, thats cool but seriously, the older clone wars were WAY better animated, stylistically. i just dont know why they need to do the Clone Wars AGAIN, also? why not focus on a different story arc?

Now this I totally agree with!!! There are so many books set before and after the movies that could be used.

i know, Shadows of the Empire woulda been a great choice!

this looks like it will be great

theres a few diffrent vids on u tube

[video: www.youtube.com]

I think it will be decent.

Don't get me wrong, I love my traditional animation (especially anime) but there's something special about CG productions, when done to a high standard, it's just nuts. I love it!

I have friends who are 3D modellers and the amount of work and effort it takes to create an awesome object is unbelievable.

I wonder how much it takes in comparison, drawing the individual animation cells versus creating one fully featured model then stepping it through the animations on the PC.

I think it would be interesting to see what method is quicker...

i'm with anna... cartoon network did a fucking ace job of the animation of the clone wars! but then i loved samurai jack aswell.

personally i'd like to see something along the lines of stories set between revenge of the sith and the original star wars, or even stuff set way before the whole saga.

Check out the attitude on Anakin.

or yoda!!

thanks for posting the clips.

it will basically be revenge of the sith without dodgy acting.

ok so the trailer looks pretty damn awesome

EmpireOnline Clone Wars trailer!

Who gives a fuck?

Star Wars died a horrible death the day George Lucas released those abominable 'special editions' of Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Don't even get me started on the new movies. Huge, firey bus crash of a trilogy if ever there was one. Retarded seals with crayons in their mouths could have penned a better script.

This animation will be 100% shit. Don't waste your time, money, energy or brain power on it.

Caravan of Courage FTW!!!

I liked that film.

I remember being scared by the giant troll thing

Damn straight. That movie and one other scared the shit out of me as a kid. The other was 'Harry and the Hendersons'.

Really?

The one that got me, and I still can't watch it to this day as a 26 year old, is 'Dark Crystal'.

Nightmares for days.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i love doing this ......



















SKEKSIS MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Seriously uncool.

If that's not enough to make an 8 yr old shit his pants, I don't know what is...

fuck this shit

im waiting for the proper TV show thats being made now that focuses on the years between revenge of the sith and star wars. real people and darth vader being a cunt, cant lose.

pretty sure that was going to be animated as well, but i could be wrong...

hope not

the thing i read was all about normal actors, shitty lines aside
*fingers crossed*

Yeah, same R&T. Not to mention Dexter's Lab and Powerpuff Girls


One story set between Sith and Hope is the videogame The Force Unleashed

But unfortunately you won't see anything before or beyond Vader, not by Lucas anyway (and maybe that's a good thing). Lucas has said "There really isn't any story to tell there. It's been covered in the books and video games and comic books, which are things I think are incredibly creative but that I don't really have anything to do with other than being the person who built the sandbox they're playing in."

saw the preview at the movies on sunday, looks awesome.

not far away now, wicked

didn't it. lol and both turned to each other saying "fark, simmo would love this!"

oh and yay!

It's been announced so I can talk about it - Krome are making the Wii version of the game  :biggrin:

the highlights reminded me of lego star wars

lets hope the movie is enjoyable

i know the story line will be

Schwatta is talking this shit up which is surprising as he'd normally say star wars is wack, but apparently he's keen on seeing a pixellated yoda "do some cool tricks"

i don't post this shit often but LOL

im booked in 2moro night 2 see clones. hope its good

was keen for a midnight screening (if there was one somewhere) but ill have to go see it next week instead.  Hope Lucas hasnt fucked it up, but Ive got a feeling this will be wicked.  :)

il most likely be seeing it this weekend
someone who sees it tonight let us know what u think

Good lord! You are all ever so nerdy! 




And as if nobody had used this emoticon yet! :jedi:
