Last rumors say he would actually play an important role. Since it's situated between ROTS and ANH, it's quite possible.

Well, no rumor says will not be STARRING.

Not as an actor no... I see you haven't lost you knack at nitpicking.

I like accuracy.

Annoyingly...

Welcome back Alliance, nice to see you and your poor as daft signatures again.

Lucas is really taking a risk with this. If this is released into theatres and does poorly, he's going to have a hardass time getting the show put through, and getting the future show done.

I'm almost kind of surprised that he didn't take the Movie-Series approach with the Live Action show and just leave the cartoon to the series (which has proven to work).

He may in fact take the approach of shoving the first few episodes of the live action series into the Cinema's. I guess this'll be a test run as things go.

You think? That's rather surprising.

Thank you, I'm out of practice.

And yes, I feel it certianly is a test run. And I sincerely think that since the episodes aren't supposed to be contiguous (as the previous series) that the movie itself will be a containted plotline. If its supposed to be immediately after AOTC, I wonder if they will expand on the Geonosis sequence to what they had originally planned in the films?

But it certainly is a test run, hence the riskiness. There could be a lot of public backlash over animated Star Wars, especially from the general public.

"Kid Stuff" they'll call it.

Sincerely I hope that the series actually works and is worth watching, for the general public aswell as well-honed neophytes, even if the theatre release is a tad insincere. Hopefully I'll be kept happy by a supply of Underworld characters; Smugglers, Bounty Hunters and Scoundrels all vying for a piece of the action. Something tells me this is melodramatic Jedi fare though.

It will be the first 3 or 4 episodes of the up-coming Clone Wars TV series.

News to me......

ANd also that idea is a stupid one imo and this is what it has on the star wars wiki

Movie
On February 13, George Lucas announced that his spin-off TV series, Clone Wars, will be preceded by a feature-length pilot movie to be released in theaters

Sounds like a long pilot episode to me..

Yeah, I've stated before why it WON'T be a sandwich of the first episodes.

Its a long pilot, but it will be a story into itself. Stargarte comes to mind with the intitial film followed by a TV series (though that wasn't as planned or contiguous as this).

I think so too. Stargate is not a great comparison since the series is a spinoff, but I understand whatcha mean. GL is just doing new stuff...

How is this forum addressing the Clone Wars movie considering it is blurring the barriers between EU and film canon a bit?

Good call. Just waiting for a tv series forum to be opened...

Actually, this would be a good time.

This forum is addressing it becuase the entire series takes place between AOTC and ROTS. And, because its becomming a movie, I really think that we can start to view the Clone Wars series, the The Clone Wars series and movie as Lucas' NEW canon.

Yes, it is a righful place for now. But I hope to get a separate forum for it.
