i would think that it will be on the episode 3 dvd

[Luvinna]

Do you mean the animated series? Yeah, logically, you'd think they'll include it on the E3 DVD when that's released. However, I heard that they're doing another set this next fall, so they may just release a single DVD with both "seasons" after their out, like they did with the Beneath the Dome mockumentary.

Actually I would say there's no chance of that at all. (And that's not necessarily a bad thing, because Clone Wars could be released on dvd much sooner than that)

I'm sure they plan for the Episode 3 dvd to be pretty much the same as the Ep 1 and 2 dvds, in terms of the look and content and quality. The more they put on the disk, the lesser the quality.

All the episodes combined add up to about an hour and a half, that takes up alot of disk space. So it would have to be released separately on it's own disk.

There's no official plans yet, but there will probably a dvd released with all 20 episodes (or more depending on if they do decide to extended the series) of the Clone Wars, eventually.

I thought it was 10 3-minute episodes. So, unless I'm doing my math wrong, that's only 30 minutes. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

[Brian]

Actually, they were each a little over 3 minutes (~3.5 min.) each and at 3.5x20, that's about 70 minutes total. So that's where I think he was getting that number. I was going to jump in there with that comment yesterday too until I rethought it. Make sense? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Darth Vegas]

Yeah that might be a bit more accurate, although I do not believe that all of the episodes clock in at exactly 3 minutes.

Also next ten eppies air next month Luvinna, and they have talked about maybe doing more of them.

Plus I'm sure they would want there to be some special features on any Clone Wars dvd they might produce, they already have commentaries.

Add also the fact that the toons aren't really related to Episode 3 much at all....

Just saying, the Episode 3 dvd isn't a likely place for the Clone Wars.

[Emperor]

Dvd Afficionado has a single disk listed for the Clone Wars.

[JediTrilobite]

I would bet money that they will release it seperatly. Why? Because it was a popular series, and it being a seperate release will generate more cash. They did it with the R2D2: Beneath the Dome mockumentary.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Hey, quick question:
Is Clone Wars going to be released on DVD at any
point? I have missed every single episode!

[Sabrina Fried]

Hey Thrawn,

no official word yet from the Powers That Be at LFL, but I'm betting/hoping it will, since I am having trouble keeping up with the schedueling of new episodes myself. If you live in the States you can actually watch Clone Wars at the Official Site. non-Hyperspace members can watch a small screen version, while Hyperspace members get access to a larger version and some other assorted things. (or so I am told. As a non-Hyperspace member Canadian I can't watch any of it style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif)

If you are not in the states and are in one of the countries where a station IS showing it, keep an eye on your local listings. I know most of the stations are planning marathons at some point in the future.

If all else fails...um....well, those *ARE* the legal options...but I am sure like the holiday special the Clone Wars cartoons will kick around for quite some time yet in their own way *cough*bootlegs*cough*

Sabrina

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

lol, thanks for the info, Sabrina. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/y.gif

you can get them bootleg! i know a comic store that sells them!

[JediTrilobite]

Hopefully soon. I imagine that we'll see a DVD before Episode III, to make up some more hype for the film.

[Derek R.]

Not to mention you can watch them for free from cartoonnetwork.com.

[Soontir Solo]

You guys are talking about the cartoon im assuming? The one I can't see over here?

[jadeskywalker]

i missed most of them! then friday they all came on 11-20! so i taped them and finally got to watch them. they ought to come again on cartoon network. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/y.gif

[Commander Andersen]

any UK people that have Toonami can watch episodes 15-20 this saturday

[DarthAnakin]

To watch them from cartoonnetwork.com you have to live in the US. Outside the US you can download them from some sites. The Clone Wars will probably come out on DVD sometime around when the Classic Trilogy is released.

Clone Wars, Droids and Ewoks Headed to DVD
Sun, Jul 25, 04 03:27:18 AM EDT


TV Show on DVD is reporting that The Clone War cartoon, the Ewok movies and the Droid cartoons are all headed to DVD this year from Lucasfilm. Here's a clip of their coverage:
In a 2 hour presentation, Steve Sansweet, Head of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm, announced that 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment would bring the animated Droids Adventures to DVD later this year. The series, which premiered in 1985, only ran for 15 episodes.

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/giveup.gif

I can see them putting Clone Wars out on DVD but i just dont see a fan base at the right age to watch some dated 80's cartoons. The fans that are at the age that they might be interested in them, wouldnt have ever heard that they exist.

[RollaFett]

If it's got Star Wars on it, people will buy it. I'm not surprised at all about that announcement.

[bluemilk]

If it is true then that's so awesome! I would love to have the Clone Wars cartoons on DVD style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

Yes it's true, it was posted on Starwars.com (http://www.starwars.com/hyperspace/member/kessel/f20040720/indexp6.html) Saturday along with all the other Comic Con stuff but apparantly fell under some people's radar, what with the title announcement and all.

[Sabrina Fried]

It's true, it was announced during the Star Wars Spectacular at Comic-Con. From my notes, paraphrased from the presentation:

"There will be three box sets available: On consisting of the Droids cartoon series, one of the Ewoks cartoon series and one of the Ewok live-action movies. They should be out in time for the Christmas gift giving season."

Hehe, Can the Holiday Special be far behind?

Sabrina

[bluemilk]

thank you Teeks and Sabrina style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif I'm always a little sketchy when people announce things they read on TF.net. Now that's another thing to add to my christmas list this year along with my die-cast x-wing style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thud.gif fantasic!

Sniper,

We are. That's the third box set I mentioned above. Looks like I'd better start saving my pennies now.

Sabrina

[Jjm3233]

Have they announced any technical specs yet? Any word on special features?

[Clara]

<span style="color:#7000CC">All I can say is I've got my fingers crossed for a Region 4 release. Hope they release the information on which regions will be getting it.</span>

[bigscreensatellite]

hello, first post of many....

any idea when these dvds are likely to hit i've heard that they are due before the sw DVD box set...?

as for being unpopular - these will fly out - especially as they will tie in with the OT release on DVD...

as Gollafett said - you only need to stick the words Star Wars on anything and people will buy it...

they wont be as popular as the OT on DVD but hell most people don't even own the videos of these 'spin offs' - so to own a cleaned up DVD will be super special

cheers

Matt

[bluemilk]

If you receive the StarWars.com Homing Beacon newsletter in your email then it has a link to an article about when to expect these DVDs which I believe is around christmas. If I find the link I'll post it up.

[Whuffa]

Does anyone know what regions the DVD will be released in?

[Sompeetalay]

Let's hope they get released quickly on Region 2. If not I guess there will soon be pirate versions going around. I think LFL has learned from the past. I'm really looking forward to the Droids. I've always liked these cartoons a lot.

Me too, but I really wish they were coming out sooner.

<span style="color:red">Only four days after my birthday. Near perfect timing.</span>

[Tarkin the Ewok]

I am excited about this release, but I'm hoping for a little more care than was shown to the Ewoks/Droids/Ewok Adventures DVDs released this fall. We know the commentaries exist, so those are a given. I would be very surprised if there was not some concept art and/or a documentary as well.

I would also like to see a "Play All" feature that runs the entire hour with no titles in between the chapters. Fans should be able to see it either as one long story or in separate pieces as it was originally aired.

Ditto and Ditto.

Definitly a must have since I no longer get any of the TV channels that would show these in Canada.

Sabrina

[JediTrilobite]

I wonder what it has for special features?

[Whuffa]

Does anyone know when these will be available in Europe?

[DarthSolo]

^you can get them on SW shop the same date as the US i think....

has anyone heard if there will be any special features, like maybe some EpIII previews or behind the scenes stuff etc.

[housse]

This sounds very interesting. I can't find it on Amazon in England yet though, so I wonder whether it has been released over here yet.

[DarthSolo]

hasnt been released in america yet. March 23 is the shipping date i believe.

[Soontir Solo]

I've never even watched the show. I haven't watched cartoons for years and years. I won't even watch animated movies.

[DarthSolo]

really? man, there are some good animated movies out ther. The incredibles was, well, incredible! why not if i may ask?

[Soontir Solo]

I just consider it to childish for me personally. I saw Monsters Inc and Shrek and didn't like either of those. It pretty much follows right along with why I don't like comics.

[Kapit]

a shame....

[Soontir Solo]

I was actually watching Finding Nemo last year at a friends house. We were watching it with his girlfriend and two or three other people. I feel asleep within the first half hour of the movie because I was so bored.

[DarthSolo]

eh, well, to each their own. i happen to like not attempting to be adultish every so often. this SW cartoon though wasnt quite what it shoulda been IMO. im not a comic fan either, cant take em seriously.

[Kapit]

i thought the clone wars series was perfect, but like you said, to each his own...

[Soontir Solo]

Was Lucas the main producer of this series?

[Kapit]

no, he was more of a creative consultant

he basically said, this is good, this is bad, other than that, he did nothing

[Soontir Solo]

If Lucas was the main producer I know I would dislike it.

[Kapit]

yeah, i think you've made that clear....

[Soontir Solo]

I did like Dragonball Z back when I lived in the states in Middle School and my Freshmen year of high school. Haven't seen DBZ in years though.

[Kapit]

i used to too, in fact, i used to draw it all the time, and i don't wanna toot my own horn, but i got to be pretty good

[DarthSolo]

i could never get into that kinda stuff. Hey, soontir what do you tink of cartoons like Family Guy and the Simpsons? Ya know, adult cartoons!

[Kapit]

the best cartoons!

[DarthSolo]

speakin of clonewars stuff, hyperspace members canget a preview of the 5 episodes coming in march. there are 33 pictures, and IMO the drawing is a little worse. its got some jedi fighting some wierd monsters and the like, shots of some ships (one looks alot like a Chiss Clawcraft to me), some wookiee (that look dreadful IMO), some strange creatures, a bunch of tall jawa type dudes all chained up walking like they are captives, shots of padme, anakin, obi-wan, clonetroopers, some wierd looking weapons including what i think are quarrens on a snail like thing, c-3po (looks dumb IMO) group shots of some people, Deppa Bibla (or whatever her name is) with some cleavage for some reason, a really dumbass pirate looking Even Piell (sp?), a really dumb looking atmospheric fighter that we saw in AOTC with a really stupid design. thats about it. i think the art in this is even worse than the first 20 eps, but its probably not final, so who knows.

[Soontir Solo]

The Simpsons and Family Guy just don't appeal to my sense of humor.

[DarthSolo]

eh, fair enough.

[Whuffa]

Oh I love the Simpsons! And Futurama, South Park, Cow & Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory... Wow, I watch too much cartoons for an 18 year old. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[RougePilot09]

I'm so excited...the DVD's come out on my birthday...its gonna be a good birthday.

Depa Billaba? Isn't she in a sort of coma or did she get out? I hope she gets out. She could free Vastor and join Dooku! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/maulxmas.gif

I think it was Depa. I might have mistaken her for another female humanoidish Jedi.

[Ithorian guy]

ive seen the season 3 pics, i have to say the look awesome. But in one of those pics, Padme has a double bun hairdoo like Leia in ep. 4. i hoped ep.4 was the las time i would ever see that again.

[Horse_Head]

You will see it again on Padme in ROTS

[Ithorian guy]

rats! that will be unbearable! but padme is hot anyway

[DarthSolo]

the pic of padme in the "cinamon buns" as i like to call them from the trailer i actually thought looked pretty good.

[Katarn]

I hope the DVD's come with fine behind the scene's and some extras.

[Tarkin the Ewok]

The Digital Bits has a listing of the extras on the Clone Wars DVD in today's My Two Cents column. It looks pretty nice.

The Clone Wars DVD is scheduled to be released March 22nd, 2005.

I've been waiting for the DVD for awhile. I'd like some good quality transfers of them. I've tried watching them on Hyperspace but they load soooo slow for the quality that they are. You'd think they wouldn't cap Hyperspace members at such low speeds.

Got this bugger early. Expect that on March 22 when the DVD comes out, there'll be a ChronoRadio DVD commentary released for it.

http://www.starwarsfanworks.com/chronoradio.html

[mattypo]

mine just dropped through my letterbox today style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happydance.gif

it was great to watch all of the chapters edited together into one hour or so long session the all tied together nicely.

the bridging the saga documentry has a few new shots form the opening battle of episode 3

[empire21]

4 more days until CW goodness style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bigsmile.gif

[Master Magnus]

Hmm, I wonder when it's released here in Sweden, I must open an other window... No Swedish edition with subtitles, but the Region 2 edition will be released May 13. Bummer.

[dFett]

I'm sure this has already been covered but they are all edited together into one nice long piece right?

[Nathan Butler]

They are, but there are some changes. I noticed at least two. First, they flip-flopped the order of chapters 4 and 5, so now we leave Muunilinst after the ARC Trooper mission and head for Mon Calamari, then head back to pick up Durge's introduction before going to see Ventress/Dooku. Originally, the first segment on Muunilinst went all the way through Durge's intro, then we moved to Mon Cal and straight to Ventress/Dooku.

Also, there's at least one poorly-added transition. Whereas Chapter 2 originally started with Obi-Wan entering the room to talk to the ARC Troopers and then they dropped out of hyperspace and showed the cruisers in space, we now see a shortened, but identical, version of the hyperspace exit immediately between Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, so it goes: Chapter 1; cruisers briefly; Obi-Wan talks to ARCs; cruisers exit hyperspace (again?); then continues onward.

Some of the segments merge seamlessly, though, like the Ventress/Dooku bits, the stuff on Ilum, and the final few with Anakin/Ventress. Those are beautiful put together.

[empire21]

Sounds like my first viewing of the CW toon is going to be great.

Yes, what did GL have to say?

[Nathan Butler]

Well, GL doesn't appear on either of the commentaries. Both are just Tartakovsky.

The BTS featurette is the one we already saw on Comedy Central (I believe it was) ages ago.

Lucas only shows up in Bridging the Saga. He opens up just by saying that the Clone Wars have a lot of opportunities for adventure, but in the films, we never actually see it, just start it in one film and end it in another. Lucas says he liked it because it has a slight anime feel to it, and he was very interested in moving into a type of animation they hadn't done, and Tartakovsky was very good at making that traditional animation / anime blending.

He talks about Season 3 by saying that it leads up to Episode III, but doesn't give any real details, though we all know what is must deal with after ROF and LOE.

And, that's all. It's mostly Tartakovsky, really.

Conveniently (I guess), I missed tonight's showing of Chapter 21, so I'll be able to rewatch the first 20 before catching 21 online. This is why it puzzles me that they didn't release the DVD the week BEFORE the new season.

[Dutch]

I hate to whine, but why doesn't the DVD have 5.1 digital sound?

That bothers me a little bit,

[empire21]

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out.

[Tarkin the Ewok]

First of all, I really liked Volume 1 for its great action sequences and characters. Also, I was happy to see that they decided to include extras for the first time on a Star Wars television DVD.

However, the extras were pretty weak. I liked "Bridging The Saga," the Hyperspace commentary, the ROTS teaser, and the artwork. The rest was just fluff, and I was upset that the commentary from the Cartoon Network site was only marginally different from the Hyperspace commentary. I would have preferred having the Hyperspace commentary and a second track that was recorded more recently with the DVD cut of the series.

Nathan's commentary is much more interesting, lively, and informative than the official ones, so chalk up another point for fan creations.

I give this one 4/5 stars, mostly for the cartoons themselves. If you want a Star Wars DVD other than the films, this is definitely the one to get.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>ANIMATION A-GO-GO! TWO NIGHTS WITH GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY

Presented in conjunction with Cartoon Network, Lucasfilm, and ASIFA-Hollywood (International Animated Film Society)

March 18 – 19, 2005

Moscow-born creator/writer/director Genndy Tartakovsky parlayed a lifelong interest in comics, cartoons, and cinema into an array of pop culture hits for Cartoon Network since graduating from Cal Arts. First came the comical stylings of a neurotic boy scientist and his bungling older sister in "Dexter’s Laboratory," then Tartakovsky swapped funny for the fantastical in the visceral action epic, "Samurai Jack." Those renowned gigs—along with directing/producing stints on other cartoon staples like "The Powerpuff Girls"— netted the attention of George Lucas, who fulfilled Tartakovsky’s boyhood dreams, awarding him the chance to fill the void between EPISODES II and III with "Star Wars: Clone Wars," an animated supplement to the seminal sci-fi franchise. Tartakovsky has since begun his transition into features and is currently toiling away on a few pet projects. This two-night mini-tribute will feature everything from student films to sneak peeks at future projects, as well as a hearty helping of classic cartoons by some of Tartakovsky’s animation heroes. Genndy Tartakovsky will appear for an extended discussion each night.

This two-night mini-tribute will entail everything from student films to advance looks at future projects, as well as a hearty helping of inspirational material, comprised of shorts and clips.

Series Compiled by Jon M. Gibson and Dennis Bartok.

Special Thanks to: Cartoon Network; LucasFilm.

Genndy Tartakovsky Tribute – Program #1

Encompassing many of his early, short works—including rarely seen, unreleased ditties from his days at Cal Arts, like "Changes," the basis for "Dexter’s Laboratory"—this first night chronicles Tartakovsky’s evolution as a filmmaker. Then, samplings of the first season of "Star Wars: Clone Wars"—as well as the ground-breaking two-part "Samurai Jack" episode, "Birth of Evil"—will be washed down by a few of Tartakovsky’s favorite classic cartoons from legends like Tex Avery (shown in 35mm glory). No doubt, there will be a few surprises, too—some never-before-aired… anywhere. Genndy Tartakovsky will appear for an extended discussion after the program, moderated by animation writer Jon M. Gibson.

An Egyptian Theatre Exclusive!



Saturday, March 19 – 5:00 PM

Genndy Tartakovsky Tribute – Program #2

Tonight’s clincher: the World Premiere of the entire second season of "Star Wars: Clone Wars," which Tartakovsky will have completed mere days before its debut. This second night also veers off the beaten path a bit to uncover the side-projects that have nabbed so much of his imagination, including interstitials he created for Cartoon Network based on vintage Hanna Barbara characters, as well as more inspirational offerings from the masters of animation. Genndy Tartakovsky will appear for an extended discussion after the program, moderated by animation writer Jon M. Gibson.

[empire21]

Just finished watching all the episodes, once I got past my dislike for the animation, I really started to enjoy it. Can't wait for the next DVD.

[DarthAnakin]

I bought the DVD today! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[Ripley the Warmaster]

<span style="color:blue">I like the cartoons edited together. Some of the transfers from chapter to chapter wasn't that good, but it's overall entertaining to watch.</span>

[jedi hunter]

Not sure if this a little of topic but volume one dvd was great but i hope volume 2 comes out before ep III since i missed the whole 3rd season of the clone wars.

[empire21]

^that would be nice

[RollaFett]

I just bought Vol. I yesterday and watched a couple of hours ago. Then I caught all of season II on the cartoon network website. I've got to say, I was pretty impressed with all of it. I wasn't crazy about the animation when I first saw glimpses of this series being made but never really thought about that at all once I had the chance to watch it in full.

I watched the entire set back to back ot back, etc. earlier this morning. If you have high-speed internet it's a breeze.

[DarthAnakin]

Has anyone else watched the "Bridging The Gap" featurette? It actually has like 30 seconds of the openning space battle from ROTS!

[empire21]

I totally forgot about that, thanks for the reminder.

[DarthAnakin]

No problem

I was shocked when I saw how much of the battle they actually released, I almost peed my pants. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[empire21]

Great. Not about your pants, I will watch the footage now.

I'll have to watch the special features, I guess. I was too preoccupied with how good the picture and audio was. I'm not a huge audio expert, but that's got to be one of the best 2.0 stereo mixes I've ever heard.

They did show quite a bit, and it looks great.

[DarthAnakin]

Yeah I was absolutely shocked when I saw it. One second im watching some dude talk, then next im watching a scene from ROTS! And I had no clue it was going to happen, it wasn't mentioned anywhere.

[Bretsch]

^Surprise, surprise!

It was great indeed, that space battle will deffinitley set a new standard for any space or air battle we'll see in the future. You have to give it to GL style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif

pick it up, its really quite good. especially since they are all back to back instead of in 3 minute episodes


the series also got me thinking about the clone/storm troopers. the lines are getting blurred for me now. there are the clone troopers marching into the star destroyer as obi wan's army with the imperial march playing!!!! man, they are supposed to be the bad guys without a doubt, now we have sympathy for them?? and i think they need to change the name of the imperial march if its from a time even before the empire!


But when it the second series coming out? that should be good too. does it match up with the book, 'labrynth of evil'?

[Valin Kenobi]

Volume II/Season III has already come and gone on TV. It is currently viewable at StarWars.com and Cartoon Network's website.

Nobody knows when it will be on DVD. Probably later this year, such as around the ROTS DVD.

And it doesn't really match LOE. Without spoiling the cartoon for you ... there are two plotlines, one on Coruscant and one with Obi-Wan and Anakin on Nelvaan. The Coruscant plot covers many of the same events as LOE (Coruscant invasion, Palpy kidnapping), but they are depicted in a noticeably different interpretation. The other plotline has no relation to LOE, and in fact directly contradicts other sources, among them Jedi Trial.

[darth bangkok]

Thank you for the nice summary

[cj790]

Just saw the new series of CW on TOS - wow!!!

I haven't seen the original series yet, but if it's anything like this I am getting the dvd the minute it hits Britain!

I absolutely Loved it, the art, the pacing, the sense of adventure and danger...
Really captured the essence of SW for me style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Sam Kenobi]

The original seasons are on there, too.

That's What I'll like to know, Why did they just put out on dvd the day before The opening of Episode III, (Their only 5 Chapther's)style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/giveup.gif

[Darth Rebelo]

The current speculation is that it will come out at the same time as the Revenge of the Sith DVD, which is rumored to be released on November 15th.

[Darth Rebelo]

Digital Bits (http://www.thedigitalbits.com/rumormill.html#0722) is reporting that the DVD of Clone Wars Volume 2 will be out on December 6th!

No official confirmation yet, but that date sounds pretty reasonable. I was hoping it would be out in November at the same time as Revenge of the Sith, but i can wait one more month. Besides, I have Hyperspace so I can watch the 'toons anytime I want. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[Sabrina Fried]

wow, November/December is gonna be an expensive month!

Episode III on DVD, Clone Wars Season 2 on DVD, a whole bunch of new hardcover art books...

Its getting to the point where I need to get a second job (again) to afford my hobbies.

Sabrina

[cj790]

But will there be a discrepancy between the UK and US release times again?
I have to say that the late release date of CWv.1 here in the UK was quite annoying.

[JediJoZe]

Not to seem cheap or anything, but what else is gonna be on this DVD? The 2nd volume is not nearly as long as the 1st, couldn't it be cheaper? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whip.gif

[Darth Rebelo]

Actually the second volume is about the same as the first.


Volume 1 = 20 episodes at 3 minutes each = 60 minutes of toon

Volume 2 = 5 episodes at 12 minutes each = 60 minutes of toon

not to mention Star Wars: Battlefront II on the same day as Revenge Of The Sith

[JMAS]

Somehow, I don't think Episode III will come out on DVD before Vol. 2 of the animated clone wars series does. Until there is official confirmation from Lucasfilm, my guess is that Vol. 2 will actually be out on DVD on or before November 1st.

[KingKongsK]

My guess is sumwhere in October

[KingKongsK]

Season 2 is alredy on DVD.

Vol 1-Seasons 1 and 2
Vol 2- Season 3

[Ant]

I can't wait for it, I had never seen one before and today I bought it on DVD on a risk, and it payed off. I love it it, it is amazing best cartoon EVER !!!!

[the c0unt]

I was kinda disapointed on how Volume 2 messed with LoE stuff.

[MANVERU]

December!

na, i reckon it's gonna be earlier

[Darth Fool]

The UK will be getting the Volume 2 DVD on 5th December:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...6736927-4088646 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000B3MIZQ/qid=1125566153/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_10_7/202-6736927-4088646)

[Darth Fool]

I wouldn't be surprised if this means the US does get it a day later on the 6th as the UK is getting the ROTS DVD a day early too.

[cj790]

Cheers!

Well the end of LoE depicted the battle of Coruscant a little differently. Different things happened as opposed to the cartoon. And in the book Anakin and Obi-wan went after Count Dooku on some planet, not the beast world thing like in the chartoon. Since the end of LoE and Clone Wars Volume II takes place at the same time, it causes a bit of a problem.

Just got it today, along with the second half of Volume One (which I watched after class yesterday until I decided to take a nap)...I agree, the sound really kicks on this disc! And did anyone else get a kick out of the THX intro?

[Darth Fool]

This third season is better than I remembered but I think volume one was far superior.
Best thing about this DVD was the inclusion of REVENGE OF THE BRICK.

LOL, I was just thinking about that.

[star_shooter]

I hope they release the Droids and Ewoks complete shows on DVD sometime. As well as the Holiday Special, despite being quite horrible, it had its moments:D

Does anyone think Star Wars will relase some sorta huge DVD set with all six episodes/the clone wars/droids ewoks etc, kinda like the Matrix and Planet of the Apes sets?

It would be cool if they did this, maybe on Blu-Ray or something

[Enfilade]

I had heard that Lucas wants to pretend the Holiday Special was never made?

Releasing Droids and Ewoks in box sets would make sense, IMHO.
