Clone Wars goes CGI

[Digger[NJLP]]

If any of you can remember a couple of years ago there had been an animated series called Clone Wars that was on Cartoon Network. It picked up where the Clone Wars movie had ended.
I never got in to it due to the cartoon like animation. But apparently in 2008 we will be getting a new Clone Wars series that will have 100 episodes but completely CGI! The article is a bit old but I sort of missed it completely.

Hoping for a show somewhere along the lines of Reboot.


George Lucas readies 'Clone Wars' TV series

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The wars aren't over for Star Wars creator George Lucas. Lucas said Wednesday he's making an animated TV series of Clone Wars that could air next year, although he hasn't sold the show to a network yet. The series is set during the time when the Republic is fighting a civil war against separatists led by Count Dooku.
The mythic period hasn't been dealt with too much in the popular Star Wars movies, so "it's a fun place to go," Lucas said.

"It basically has all the main characters" such as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lucas said, but the stars who played them in the movies won't voice them for the TV show.

"There's nobody famous," Lucas told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

The show is planned as a continuation of the Emmy-winning Clone Wars that aired in 25 episodes on the Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005. That series used limited animation. The new version will use 3-D computer graphics.

It's one of many projects being pursued by Lucas, including a fourth Indiana Jones movie.

"We're working on it. We haven't agreed on a script yet," Lucas said.

Well they just released the trailer to the new Clone Wars TV series.
And to be honest it doesn't look to bad. Its not as "CGI" as Reboot but I like it. Though Yoda looks more like a bug then "Yoda".

It looks like that they based the character designs from the animated series. Do you know what channel is going to carry it?

I have yet to hear what channels will carry it, but the original animated series was carried by cartoon network, wasn't it?

[harlock]

Yes, it was.
