Star Wars: Clone Wars

http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030220/202245_1.html

TOS (http://www.starwars.com/eu/news/2003/02/news20030220.html) and T'Bone (http://www.starwarz.com/tbone/eu_news/#toons) also have updates on this.

Twenty animated Clone Wars serial shorts will appear on Cartoon Network in 2003-2004. Each toon will be about 2-3 minutes long. Read the article above for more detailed info!

Very, very cool! I plan to record them all and convert them to VCD, just in case LFL decides to never (or take forever to) release them on DVD format... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[Darth Vegas]

That's just great!!! Thanks for the update!!

[J'mee]

I love Dexter.

Oh this is good.

Very, very good.

And I have a good feeling they'll do a very awesome job.

They are animated shorts. I suppose they will air in between other cartoons, kind of like commercials. I hope I don't miss any.

[J'mee]

You know, I've been waiting for the stories of the Clone Wars since about the first time I saw ANH.

God, I'm so glad their not half assing it. They have a lot of Clone Wars books and comics coming out. A recently released video game. Now, animated shorts.

Awesome.

Totally awesome.

Well, there's 20 of them. That totals 40-60 minutes of cartoons. Perhaps LFL will one day consoldate them into one big feature. That would be cool. But let's get them on T.V. first. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[Obi-Wan]

<span style="color:blue">I can't wait for em! I found out about them on TF.N! They are gonna rock! Cartoon Network has the best shows! Like Samurai Jack, Dexter, Justice League! I can't wait till fall!</span>

[Exar D'an]

I can't wait to seem them altough I will have to get them offline. Don't get Catoon Network...

here is a little preview:

Sweet!

[Nathan Butler]

Y'know what's funny? We talked about this on ChronoRadio back in December. After the episode, I talked to some LFL "VIPs" (Rostoni, et al) with the following info:

The show being on the Cartoon Network.
The show being set during the Clone Wars.
The show being a new multi-episode series.
The show being a new 30 min animated series
The show being rumored to be prepped by ILM for its pilot, in a Beast Wars style.

They returned with the comment that...

There is NOT a new CG-style 30 minute cartoon series about the Clone Wars coming to the Cartoon Network.

We left it at that.

Come to find out, they were telling the truth, except the part that really mattered: Their statement was correct because it said 30 min stead of 3, and CG instead of traditional animation.

Amusing.

Theoretically speaking, Clone Wars Beast-Wars style would have been awesome! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Nathan Butler]

Quite so, but only if they took the photorealistic approach, not a real close approximation of BW or BM.

[Exar D'an]

I agee, they would have to take a photorealistic approach, BW an BM were far to machine like. God I can still remember sitting down and watching BW when the first episode came on all those years ago.... GOD!!!!......

[Whuffa]

God I can't wait! Dexter rules and Im sure this will be great!

[Exar D'an]

It will be interesting that's for sure.

Here's the poster if you haven't seen it (like, duh!).

I'm very hyped over this news! I've known it for a couple of weeks but didn't see it anywhere on the GS until now. Figures it would be in the EU section. I'm sure some of you know my stance on EU, y'know, it sucks. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif
Anyway, this looks good, and I cannot wait! That artwork that is shown on TOS is interesting. The character holding 2 lightsabers looks a lot like the early scetches for the Sith character that was going to be used for EPII, y'know, before they went with Dooku. Interesting..................

GF, read the write-up on TOS and it will tell you that the character with the 2 Dooku lightsabers is based on the sketch from the early character Sith for AOTC. Her name is Asajj Ventress.

I left that little bit out because Mr. Fett thinks EU "sucks," but said that he was interested in the cartoon. ???

Oh, I haven't been able to get my hand on Republic #50 and Jedi: Mace Windu, yet. Books A Million hasn't gotten them, yet, and I have a 10% discount card. I think I will wait, though I hear the comics are "da bomb!"

[Nathan Butler]

Uhm, the cartoon will BE expanded universe. Lucas himself isn't making it. It'll be right there on par with the Droids and Ewoks cartoons. Licensed, created in conjunction with Lucasfilm, but pure Expanded Universe, Official Continuity stuff.

You can't say "EU sucks" and then say "Wow, the cartoon's gonna rock." Same thing.

[jangofett100]

Hey, doesn't it mention they'll be doing stories about Padme? Maybe this will clear up the issue of whether she went back to being a senator, or stayed on Naboo till Episode 3.

From the latest homing beacon:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Genndy Tartakovsky gets up at seven in the morning, spends some time having breakfast and playing with his boy, and then heads off to work, to tell tales of samurai and Jedi. The acclaimed creator of "Dexter’s Laboratory" and "Samurai Jack" for the Cartoon Network, Tartakovsky is now helming Star Wars: Clone Wars, the series of animated shorts that will air on the network this fall.

"Clone Wars fits in my day here and there, as with everything else," he says. "Luckily ‘Samurai Jack’ is just ending up. I finished the last storyboard in December. So, slowly, Star Wars just took over. I'll still be doing post-production on ‘Samurai Jack’ until the very end of Star Wars, and we’ll be done Star Wars by late summer."

Many of the talents that helped mold "Samurai Jack" into the success that it is will be working on Clone Wars. "We're a pretty slim crew, because I wanted it to have more of a personal touch, so it doesn't get too huge," he says. "We have the Art Director Paul Rudish, who is doing all the main designs. The way he draws is the look of the show. We have Dave Dunnet, who is doing the background designs. Scott Wills, who is the background painter from ‘Samurai Jack.’ He's doing all the paintings. It's basically all the same people that did 'Jack,' except for a couple of new ones here and there. We have this guy from Oregon, Michel Gagne, and he's doing all the effects designs. I wanted all the effects to be really stylized and specific, so it feels more nurtured. He's going to design them all and animate a lot of them himself."

Genndy Tartakovsky was born in Moscow, and emigrated with his family to the United States in 1977, the same year the first Star Wars film burst onto the silver screen. "I just missed when the first one came out, but I saw it a year after that," he recalls. "As soon as I saw it, I fell in love. I loved comic books and cartoons when I was a kid, and samurai stuff with lots of action. So, Star Wars filled that niche with everything. It's got great fights, great characters, a classic hero myth -- that was what I was drawn to, the whole mythology of it."

It wasn’t long before Star Wars did sneak its way into young Tartakovsky’s sketchbook. "Just a little bit," he notes. "I couldn't draw that well when I was younger, so I was drawing more Scooby Doo and stuff like that. But Paul Rudish’s sketchbooks -- he's been drawing droids and stuff since he was 12. It's been a part of our life ever since they came out."

Gates, I know that you know better, so this isn't directed at you. Did anyone else see the 'wink' emoticon I included in my earlier post when I said, 'EU sucks'? Or did you conveniently ignore it so you could go ahead and bash me? Lighten up, people! Jeez!!!

I know you jokingly say EU "sucks"...but I think you really think it does suck...which is cool with me. I just figured you wouldn't be interested in a comic that featured Asajj Ventress. Or are you taking about someone else? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[RollaFett]

Oops, I meant to type, 'this is not directed at you'. Sorry.
Man, that 'EU sucks' crack will live with me forever, huh?
For the record, I actually do not think that the EU sucks. I happen to have a few of the novels myself, nothing recent, because I lost interest, but not because I thought it sucked. Whew!

[Brian]

Bump.

[RollaFett]

For the record, I am extremely excited about this cartoon, and EU, chapter in the SW universe!!!

[Obi-Wan]

<span style="color:blue">TheForce.net is reporting that the latest issue of Toyfare Magazine is sporting an article on the new Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon series, coming to Cartoon Network this fall. Star Wars: Clone Wars will be a series of twenty animated shorts that will air on Cartoon Network in beginning this fall.

The article reveals that the premiere date is 8pm (ET) on November 7th, 2003, and throughout the month of November, a total of ten episodes will air. The remaining ten are scheduled to air in February 2004.

Star Wars: Clone Wars continues the saga where the live action feature film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones left off - at the beginning of the Clone Wars, an epic civil war that pits the old Republic against a vast separatist movement led by the forces of evil.

Each episodic short will be two to three minutes in length and will air exclusively on Cartoon Network at regularly scheduled times during the network's regular programming beginning later this fall. Clone Wars will be produced at Cartoon Network Studios by a team led by Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory.

As Clone Wars unfolds the valiant Jedi Knights lead the Republic's Clone Army against many new and ruthless adversaries across the galaxy. These new characters, epic battles and intricate stories will add an exciting new dimension to the Star Wars saga.

The series is expected to be collected on to DVD in time for the release of the sixth, and final, Star Wars movie in 2005.

Hope this info helps everyone. I can't wait!</span>

[RollaFett]

Yeah, someone could tape it for you, or, you could wait for the DVD (which I'm pretty sure will be released), or, you could check out the 'Hyperspace' portion of starwars.com. Bear in mind, it's a pay section of the site, but I think they plan on showing some, if not all, of the series at some point.

[JediTrilobite]

I think that a DVD is inevitable. I also think that I'll get hyperspace.

Hey y'all download a teaser for the toons here (http://www.theforce.net/episode2/index.shtml#22049)! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

[goodwije]

This may be posted somewhere i have been searching and can't find it though

The welcome screen at http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/clonewars/index.html has four different screens. That is about all there is there, except a downlaodable screen saver. But the pictures are cool. It is possible there are more but these are the only four i saw after refreshing about 100 times. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

the four are i found are:

Count Dooku
Clone Troopers
Obi-Wan
Droid Army

This probably belongs in the EU section... sorry.

[Darth Vegas]

Here's something about the Clone Wars Toons you'll all find interesting form the latest Entertainment Weekly:

"We were given two new villians (Assaj Ventress and the armored bounty hunter Durge) they wanted to see featured, art director Paul Rudish recalls of Lucas' directives.

So Lucas wanted Assaj and Durge featured in the toons... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/scratchchin.gif

The article also mentioned that we'll see a lightsaber(s) get built, and the Jedi's Force Powers will be expanded upon, and it has a little pic of a duel between Anakin and Ventress.

The show will also feature authentic Star Wars sound effects and music.

[JediTrilobite]

I need to find a copy of that EW. Looks very good, expecially that picture that TFN had online, Anakin vs. Ventress

One of the screenshots shows Durge with a bunch of droids that look like IG-88!!!

[goodwije]

Very Cool, although i didnt see the IG-88 like droid, maybe i didn't look hard enough. I've heard some complaints about the animation style, but i liked it. Had they had someone else try to do a exact rendition of the movies well i think it would have ended up a jumbled mess. This way we can concentrate on the action and the fun.

[Darth Vegas]

Here it is, goodwije.

Durge on his swoop bike, behind him there are a bunch of droids on speeder bikes that are very very similar to IG-88.

[goodwije]

Thanx Bond, i see it now, they are in shadow i thought they were the backround. I just got up though so.. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sleeping.gif i'm still half there.

[Darth Vegas]

There were also some IG-88 like droids in the last issue of the Republic comics series, only they were alot more sleak.

I had thought such a connection would present itself in this era between IG-88 and the droid armies.

If you don't have Cartoon Network, you can watch it online! The first episode will be on the website tomorrow. Clone Wars (http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/clonewars/main_exclude.html?goHome=true&homeSide=dark)

[du365]

That first episode sucked so hard. The animation was bad enough especially Palpatine looking like he died 20 times over but Anakin throwing off his rob like some God-damn ninja was horible. Who was that little girl who look at Anakin. She looked like she lost her dog. Complete trash!

[T-bone]

I'm going to make a new thread for this first Episode so please copy your comments there and let's keep a new thread for each. Cleaner that way - thanks.

[goodwije]

I disagree, in fact i quite enjoyed this first chapter by way of introduction, i am looking forward to the others now, when we get more into the story line.

I do find it a little hard to have that feeling of awe when it is attached to cartoons.

[T-bone]

Wow - LOTS of complaints about not being able to download and see this thing. I personally had no trouble but I have to say that I completely understand everyone's frustration. I'm sure the next time there won't be a problem. This happened when the web cam started out too and it just took a little tweaking and such. Let's see what happens with part 2.

Still I agree - if you're going to offer the service, hype it up, and make people pay - you gotta test and come through with the goods.

I understand your pain, folks. However, let's give it a 3 strike rule.

Try hyperspace.

[Darth Darthy]

I have to admit, the more I watch this the more I'm dissapointed. The battles just aren't exciting. The small clip we saw of the space battle was shockingly poor. The ground battle was almost as poor - one hit and the Republic flack platforms blew up.

The next ten episodes will be out sometime in the Spring, but don't quote me on that. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

I agree with you, watching them all in one shot is a lot more satisfying. Overall the CLONE WARS cartoon is a satisfying piece of animation. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif


-WoS-

[James T. Skywalker]

The next ten episodes will air in late February.

~JTS

[Sabrina Fried]

Finally saw the first few episodes myself tonight..Excellently done!

Now I can only hope I will NOT have to wait until the summer for teletoon to get the license to air season 2 (I plan to be travelling this summer...ie away from teletoonland).

Unfortunetly afaik, Teletoon's current license only covers the first 10 episodes so far. But someone correct me if I am wrong (please OH please correct me on this one!)

[JediSenshi]

Who are the voice actors and which characters do they play.

[Darth Vegas]

To kick this thread off, here are some short summaries of season 2's eppies.

*slight SPOILERS ahead*

Chapter 11
Anakin continues his pursuit of Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress, disobeying Obi-Wan’s strenuous orders not to do so. During an intense dogfight, he tracks her through hyperspace to Yavin 4. Obi-Wan Kenobi, who is acting as a General of the Army of the Republic, dispatches a platoon of ARC Troopers to support his Padawan.

Chapter 12
Jedi Mace Windu leads his troops in an intense battle on the desert planet of Dantooine. The Droid Army counters the offensive by the Army of the Republic with an enormous vessel that releases a seismic charge, devastating the Clone troops. Mace Windu finds himself alone and surrounded by the massive Droid Army – without his lightsaber.

Chapter 13
Mace Windu continues to battle the Droid Army singlehandedly on Dantooine. Facing an overpowering enemy assault, the unarmed Jedi Master must rely on the Force as he seeks to thwart the Droid Army.

Chapter 14
On the icy planet of Ilum, chameleon-like Droids are planting explosives in the sacred Jedi Ice Caverns, the source of the crystals that power every Jedi’s lightsaber. Jedi Luminara Unduli and Barris Offee are on Ilum and engage in a ferocious battle but are trapped after an explosion. Yoda, aboard Padme’s ship, senses these two Jedi are in trouble and decides he must help rescue them.

Chapter 15
Padme’s head of security, Captain Typho, believes that going to Ilum is too dangerous. He tries to convince Yoda not to go, but the ancient Jedi Master is committed to rescuing Luminara Unduli and Barris Offee. Once the ship lands on Ilum, Yoda sets out in the snow, alone. To enter the sacred cave, he must first defeat a battalion of Droids.

Chapter 16
Padme is worried about Yoda, so she leaves the ship and heads out into frigid Ilum with C-3PO and R2-D2 to find him. As they approach the cave, they tangle with Droid soldiers. Inside the cave, Yoda tries to free the trapped Jedi. The entire crew then must battle Droid forces as they return to Padme’s ship.

Chapter 17
Back on Yavin 4, Anakin has cornered his would-be assassin, Asajj Ventress. Now the battle between these two highly skilled warriors truly begins.

Chapter 18
Anakin and Asajj continue their hand-to-hand duel on Yavin 4. Ventress, an expert fighter who battles using two lightsabers at the same time, proves to be a formidable foe for the young Jedi.

Chapter 19
The battle between Asajj and Anakin becomes more intense. Anakin, filled with rage, attacks his foe, the Dark Jedi and ally of Count Dooku, mercilessly. Still, she is a crafty fighter with a few tricks of her own.

Chapter 20
Obi-Wan Kenobi celebrates a successful campaign on Muunilinst, and the Army of the Republic has taken many prisoners. When Anakin returns from Yavin 4, the Jedi Master upbraids his charge for disobeying a direct order. Still, Obi-Wan is impressed with Anakin’s bravery. Meanwhile, on a distant planet, a band of Jedi Knights faces a mysterious and powerful enemy - General Grievous.

they sound good cant wait to watch them this friday

May be a dumb question, but does anyone know if the Clone Wars cartoon will be released on DVD? I don't get the Cartoon Network or subscribe to Hyperspace, so haven't seen any yet!

[Obi-Wan]

Rumor has it that it may be released in time for EPIII or before the release of the OT on DVD, personally that's what I hope it is since having them on DVD before this year ends would kick total ass!!!!!! Watching Grievous over and over and over and over......

Of course if you still haven't seen the first ten chapters you can go to Cartoon Network.com and watch them for free on The Clone Wars website. The final ten will also be up there.

Star Wars: Clone War (http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/clonewars/) There's the link for you dude.

Chapters 11 and 12 were on teletoon on Saturday, unfortuently I was at my money job style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

No official word yet, but it'll most likely be released on dvd, probably with a small handful of special features.

[JediTrilobite]

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif Just a couple more days! And I'll be away.

[Hemingway]

Well, just finished watching episodes 11 and 12.

Episode 11 is pretty straightfoward: Anakin chases Ventress. There's some pretty funny stuff with Anakin and Ventress buzzing OB on the planet down below.

Episode 12 is way cool! Mace is kicking droid all over the planet, until this crazy new droid weapon about crushes him. I don't want to spoil it, but this new weapon/ ship is pretty cool.

[cj790]

Cheers Ob1 and TK!

*goes to have a look...*

[Sabrina Fried]

Episode 12 was great! I was swearing at my TV when it ended becuase of the way it left off.

Havent done that with a TV show in awhile.

Sabrina

[JediTrilobite]

Sab, you want to get a detailed summery?

[Sabrina Fried]

Tril,

Thanks but not right now, I want to watch these unfold in their own time.

Sabrina

[Darth Vegas]

Think he was asking for you to give one. Typo I think.

[cj790]

Well I've tried to download them on about 4 different PCs and none of them worked style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

Guess it's just not my destiny to see them...

[Darth Vegas]

Well that Episode was ok. Most of the vioce overs still suck, Anakin still looks like Vanilla Ice, but other than that it was a decent start for the second season of Clone Wars...

That tour of Steve Sansweet's Rancho Obi-Wan was pretty cool though.

[P-Ray]

I missed it. Too busy & forgot. Chapter 11 was on last night. Does anyone know if & when they are replaying it?

Also, is the next chapter on tonight or Monday night?

[Darth Vegas]

Episode 12 will be on Monday at 8pm.

I downloaded Chapter 11 from Starwars.com. I like it. Apparently, it's going to take 2 or 3 shows to wrap from Chapter 11.

Well you should. This season is going to be ALOT better than last.

[P-Ray]

An awesome Mace episode!

And I agree Gazelle, these are going to be even better.



Chapters 11-20 are leading into episode III right? I know Grevious is in the last one.

[Gazelle]

Okay guys, I will give it a go.

No, not really. This is a good 2 years before Episode 3.

[Darth Darthy]

That was a rather good episode. I liked the way it had that litttle lone local boy looking on at the chaos unfolding. His headgear was a litle familiar too... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/scratchchin.gif

I'm used to the style of art now but Mace really does look a bit odd - why is he always squinting - he constipated or something?

[Obi-Wan]

The Mace episode kicked ass! He was going through those droids like they were nothing!!!!!! Plus they even got a scream in there. I loved it! Can't wait for tonight's episode!

[P-Ray]

Chapter 13 was incredible! That definitely showed that Mace is da man.

[Obi-Wan]

This was one of the best episodes!!!!!!! Mace is so badass it's insane! All the force powers and punching! He is great! This guy is the baddest! I loved it! How he used the force and turned those screws into acting like bullets that tore up the droids was just kickass! Loved it!

[Queen 'Onna]

Episode 12 and 13 are by far the best.Mace kicks butt.I liked the force run and the jump-flying thing. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/satisfied.gif

[Darth Darthy]

Hmm, #14 was a bit hit and miss. All that 'you are the lightsaber, the lightsaber is you, the crystal is you, the crystal is the lightsaber blah blah' mumbo-jumbo was a little EU and silly.

[Darth Vegas]

Yeah #14 was not quite as good as the last two, but it was decent, and I like how it sorta echoed TESB, especially the bit with the droid crashing in the snow.

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif OMG, do not be alarmed people, this will most likely only happen in the cartoons, and not in Episode 3, click here (http://www.starwars.com/clonewars/explore/timeline/img/60.jpg) for the spoiler from Clone Wars Chapter 20.

I loved that SW junk. The talking is what these cartoons are missing. Hope we see some stuff in Ep3

[Darth Darthy]

#15 was much better. Yoda knows how to kick ass without breaking a sweat. Or wind.

[Commander Andersen]

i hope there's more then 2 series

[Darth Whaler]

Regarding Chapter 14...perhaps someone can explain this to me. I know it's trivial. In the temple or whatever it was, there were three different kinds (colors) of crystals. They all seemed pretty abundant. I found it very odd that since purple crystals are plentiful, Mace is still the only one with a purple bladed saber.

I wish that this scene did not show so many purple crystals available. Is Mace the only one allowed to use a purple one? If so, that's seems like it's a bit of a waste. Even if it's because Mace is such a powerful Jedi and it's a respect or honor thing. But think of when a Padawan goes into that temple to construct his lightsaber. His master says, "Select a crystal from this temple...but leave all the purple ones, they're for Master Windu only." Just doesn't make sense. Not that it has to...I just like to nitpick.

Before I saw this scene, I just had my own interpretation: Mace used a combination of a blue and synthetic red crystal to make a purple colored blade. My new crappy interpretation: purple crystals provide more power and only an experienced Jedi master with the skill of Mace Windu can control it. I still wish there were other Jedi with purple sabers.

What are your opinions?

[Darth Vegas]

Mace is special. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

It's only EU, so I try not to worry about it. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[general grievous]

i cant wait for e20 style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/devil.gif
die jedi!

[Obi-Wan]

Yoda's episode kicked ass!! He was sooo sweet!!!!!! I can't wait for Monday!!!!!! Anakin Vs. Aasjj!!! Plus Grievous on Thursday!!!!!!!!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif It's gonna be a great week!!!!!!!

[Darth Darthy]

#16 absolutely stunk and served no purpose whatsoever. Seemed to just be an excuse to put Padme in the series. And why did the cloak droids blow up with her bomb but Threepio didn't? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

[general grievous]

Originally posted by Darth Darthy@Apr 4 2004, 12:00 PM

that is a good point
i didnt care for this episode either

[8-Ball]

yea, Yoda sucks.

so Anakin will be fighting in tonights (monday) episode?

[Dutch]

I gotta preface this with a general thumbs up to Tartakovsky with what he's done with this series. I like it a lot, I really do, but..............

This is what SW would look like if many a basher or fanboy was in charge of making it. Lightsaber battle after lightsaber battle with no cohesion or real story. The whole series is gettin a little tired for me. New location, new Jedi twirling a lightsaber around cutting droids.

I wonder if they will flow together better once they are released on DVD and there is an option (hopefully) that you can watch them all back-to-back.

Again, although it is SW, and to me any SW is good, it really makes me appreciate just how well George does it. He has the intense action scenes, the cool ships, the awesome special effects, but he really does a nice job of balancing them with slower scenes that let you catch your breath and connect the story.

[Obi-Wan]

They do only have around 5 minutes or less to make the show. Not much you can do with that. I thought GT did a good job with what he had, now if GL gave him more time the story would've been fleshed out more.

[Commander Andersen]

i can't wait for the Greivous one!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarthAnakin]

Oh Man The General Grievous Episode Is Gonna Rule. Except For One Thing......It's Gonna Be The Last One NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarthAnakin]

which sith person is that again? isnt it the one in the dress and its the alien girl sith?

[Obi-Wan]

Yep, the pale one with no eyeballs. Just white glowly things like Batman. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[Grievous]

Its allready ch 19 allready? Damn the two weeks have gone too fast.

[P-Ray]

#19 was an awesome battle and awesome ending.

Question:


Why couldn't Ventress control her fall with the Force?

[general grievous]

^ thats a good point
i liked how anakin seemed to slip into darkness there
im not gonna be able to sleep just thinking about e 20
grievous is bad style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif
i saw one pic on starwars.com that had him using a lightsaber with his foot

[Dutch]

Chapter 19 was the best episode so far.

-Anakin getting stronger as the fight went on
-Her look of fear as he was overpowering her
-Him using the red saber as Yavin hung in the background
-THE FLASHES OF QUI-GON,OBI-WAN, AND YODA~!!!!!!

Awesome, Awesome Chapter.

Even though I can't wait till tomorrow to see Grevious for the first time, Chapter 19 would have been the perfect Climax to the series with Chapter 20 maybe showing the Main Jedi regrouping on Coruscant with Yoda spewing some convoluted philosophy as they get set to go back out into the fray.

Oh well, I shouldn't complain. Chapter 20 is probably gonna be pretty good as is.

[P-Ray]

Here's another question. Isn't Chapter 20 suppossed to be twice as long as the others?

[Obi-Wan]

Yep, guy that works at a TV station said it was 9 minutes and 12 seconds long. He's on the JC. He's already seen it.

Ventress may have controlled her fall to slow her decent and survived.

I'm sure she'll be back especially in the comic book.

Asajj did survive the fall, by order of the timeline she returns and captures Obi-Wan while on Jabiim. Anakin doesn't know about her though.

That's right...because they haven't seen each other in the comics yet, have they?

[general grievous]

no its just been between obi and asajj





wonder, if asajj surrvives the cartoons did durge?

[Darth Vegas]

^If the cartoons killed her off, then there's a huge continuity error. Same with Durge. In the comics they're alive and kicking months after the toons take place.

OMF!!!!!!! That was the best episode!!! Grievous kicks ass completely!!!

Fave quote-"But know that I, General Grievous, am not completely without mercy. I will Grant you a Warrior's Death."

His voice was done perfectly and the animation was top-notch! I loved the three Lightsaber thing! And the ending was spectacular! I loved how they switched to Yoda at that moment Ki-Adi was gonna get it. Of course he didn't but it's stiil great! I can see why he is feared so much by the Jedi. He's the most deadly hunter ever. Who needs Dooku or Asajj?! The close up on the eye was done amazing too, he looks fearful. He's just so style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/censored.gif amazing!!!!!!

[general grievous]

nothing beats this


though the os is only letting hyperspace users see it

[Obi-Wan]

BTW, anybody who still thinks Durge was killed in Chapter 9- the commentary confirms that they had originally planned to include some more wrap up on Durge in Chapter 20, but ran out of time.

So, he definiately was meant to survive Chapter 9.

[mattypo]

very nice, great way to wrap up the series. i preffered the longer format felt just right

is grievous ment to be that large in the movie or is it down to the exagertaed nature of the toon?

[Obi-Wan]

Grievous has the ability to grow in size and shorten in size. This was confirmed.

Well I doubt he can grow into the size of a megazord! LOL. The OS says this on his height: 1.904 meters (default configuration) Considering he's part droid he has the abilitie to do many things with himself.

yeah, it's just he seemed a little too large but again that could be down to the style.

all in all a great end to it all, (although my fave was chapter 19 if that had been double lenthg that would have been very cool indeed)

What he does in the cartoon isn't necessarily what he'll do in the movie.

Looked to me like he was just concealing his true size and stretching out (that was very effective too), not like he was actually growing.

[8-Ball]

I thought GG was just OK. He was too fast but I think they did that just cause of the cartoons. If anyone is going to kill this guy, its GOTTA be Anakin!! I just think his character is gonna add to the madness of getting everything in on EP3 and making it legit.

I personally don't see any reason for them to continue it. I felt episode 20 was a nice segway (sp?) into Episode III.

[Darth Vegas]

^Episode 20 like all the rest of the Episodes takes place 4 months after Episode 2, making that over 2 years before Episode 3.

That's a pretty huge gap if you ask me.

[kopernikuz]

That was crazy!

To avoid spoiling... since I haven't read the comics... does the last jedi fighting GG survive? It certainly looks desperate, but I can't imagine they'd leave it hanging there and just have that jedi alive in Ep III without showing how he escapes that desperate situation. In fact, there are several Jedi in that final sequence that I wonder about their survival. Did they?

Except for the guy who looked like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo... he can die, that's okay... he even acted like Shaggy, all scared... LOL... "Padawan, will you fight Grievous for a Scooby Snack?" My wife and I chuckled at that guy...

The "last Jedi" you're referring to are Shaak Ti and Ki-Adi-Mundi.

And here is a list (http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/castcrew.html) of the Episode III cast (and crew).

They survive. You'll just have to read the rest of the material in the Clone Wars to find out how... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

To avoid spoiling... since I haven't read the comics... does the last jedi fighting GG survive? It certainly looks desperate, but I can't imagine they'd leave it hanging there and just have that jedi alive in Ep III without showing how he escapes that desperate situation. In fact, there are several Jedi in that final sequence that I wonder about their survival. Did they?
The "last Jedi" you're referring to are Shaak Ti and Ki-Adi-Mundi.

And here is a list (http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/castcrew.html) of the Episode III cast (and crew).

They survive. You'll just have to read the rest of the material in the Clone Wars to find out how... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

ROTFL!!! I KNOW who they are... I said:

I didn't want people who haven't seen the cartoon to know that they had been killed if in fact they had been... some people still haven't gotten to see the series. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Oh well...

Good to know they survive... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

The rest of the Clone Wars material hasn't and most likely won't be covering how those Jedi managed to escape that situation.

Except maybe the Clone Wars adventures comics, but I kinda doubt that'll happen.

How about that evil Sith lady that falls off the cliff? Who wants to bet £10 she's back in series 3?

Possibly, but she was already seen alive in comics that take place months after the cartoons long before the toons ever premiered.

So if they really intended for her to have died in Chapter 19 then the cartoons really can't be considered as part of the real Clone Wars continuity.

[DarthAnakin]

We know that Asajj Ventress survived her duel with Anakin but what happened to her after Obi-Wan and Alpha escaped her private fortress on Rattatak? How come she doesn't appear in epIII??

Just wait and find out like the rest of us.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>How come she doesn't appear in epIII??[/b][/quote]
Why would she?

[DarthAnakin]

^ I just thought that she would want her revenge on Anakin and that she would again try to prove herself to Dooku.

[Darth Vegas]

She probably won't even make it out of the Clone Wars alive.

I fully expect her to die in Jedi Trial.

[brookie]

does anyone know when the series will come out on dvd?

[Darth Vegas]

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif NO, and nobody even knows if it's coming to dvd at all for sure.

[kopernikuz]

Earlier in this thread I commented on how the Jedi padawan that gets thumped first by Grievous reminded me of Shaggy from Scooby Doo and he was all cowardly. Then we made a few jokes about it.

I just noticed in the databank today that that Jedi's name is:

Sha'a Gi

Abso-fricken-lutely hilarious. Very funny little in-joke considering the show airs on Cartoon Network. I like it. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

From a recent interview with Art Director Paul Rudish:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>SWD: Is there any chance that a third season of Clone Wars will be made?
PAUL RUDISH: There are talks happening between the powers that be, and what happens, I don't know yet because I'm farther down the ladder.

SWD: Is there time to do one more season before EP3?

PAUL RUDISH: Well that's just it, they better decide soon...[/b][/quote]

[Longshot]

Any more news on series 3?

[James T. Skywalker]

I really hope there is no season three. Leave it to the comics and the novels; the TV stuff just messed with continuity a little too much...

~JTS

[Darth Rebelo]

Personally, I would love to see a season 3 just so that some closure is provided on how all those people who seemed to be killed survived.

[Darth Vegas]

That could possibly be covered in Clone Wars Adventures.

[Darth Rebelo]

Possibly. But since many people who watch the cartoons will never pick up a comic, a vast number of those who saw the toons will not see the loose ends tied up, unless it happens in a third season.

[P-Ray]

TF.N has reported today that 20 episodes of Clone Wars:season 3 will be out for the spring 2005 just before EPIII premieres. They also stated that the Clone Wars DVD will be anounced soon. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Hopefully it's true! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/scratchchin.gif

[P-Ray]

StarWars.com has just confirmed that the Clone Wars micro series will continue March 21, 2005 to March 25 with 5 - 12 minutes episodes from the same creators.

That's cool! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif

[pudooku]

^ The longer show format will certainly make it less annoying to watch...

But it adds up to the same length for the DVD... Nice

Wonder where they are going to go with it though - will they carry on to the start of the movie? Maybe explain the run up to events at the start of EPIII...

Do you think we should continue this theme in the prequel spoilers section?

Pudooku

[cj790]

Finally! A DVD for us non- Hyperspace UK members!

Personally I really like the idea of longer episodes, even if there will be fewer of them per season. No mention of any DVD yet, but I'm sure that will come soon. Stuff this good has to be watched commercial free style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

5 new 12 min episodes will end up being 60 mins. YAY style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif another hour of Clone Wars, too bad we have to wait like 10 months for it. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

(Put this where you will, or leave it here, I don't care. I just need it answered!)

Did Clone Wars Season III start yet? If so, what is the schedule?
And if not, when does it air?

I already missed the first two seasons because I didn't have
cable, but now I finally do and I want to be sure I see season III.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I had MAJOR computer problems. I'm pretty sure I was using the first computer ever built (about fifty years old to be exact style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boxed.gif )
My computer actually crashed and has been down for several months (reason for my absence)
But I was finally able to save enough to get a new DELL, and now I have returned.

I thought there was only five or ten episodes, since they're longer.

[Fiffis]

Does anyone know what time it'll air? Information would be greatly appreciated.

[Darth Rebelo]

There are 5 new episodes total, each one will be about 12 minutes long.

They will air Monday thru Friday, each one airing at 7:00 PM on Cartoon Network, and becoming available on Hyperspace at about 7:20 PM.

[Fiffis]

Seven in the PM. Thank you. It's very appreciated.

[Luminara Skye]

It's 7 pm Eastern time all this week.

[TuskenRaider1]

Should be good. For non-Hyperspace members, CartoonNetwork.com is showing the eps after they premiere, I think by the next am. Double check the site, but good stuff there.

Clone wars III update!

not too shabby, the first part was great, i loved the custom paint job on the LAAT/i and the clone with the quad lasers strapped to his chest

but, i don't think the love story translates well to the cartoon medium...

[Valin Kenobi]

Due to uncharacteristic stupidity in translating Eastern to Central Time, I missed the TV premiere. In a way it worked out for the best--the DVD is out tomorrow so I'll rewatch the first 20, catch 21 online, then see the 22 premiere. This is why it puzzles me that they didn't release the DVD the week BEFORE the new season.
