Star Wars returns to theaters?

During one of the stock holder meetings, Hasbro announced LucasFilm would have a theatrical debut of their "Lucas cinamation"(Clone Wars) that "Star Wars will be back in theaters 08/08/08."

8/8/08 You keep reminding me one way or another...

For any who don't know and want to know:

Spoiler:
In 2008, Star Wars: The Clone Wars expands the Star Wars universe with plenty of surprises. This week, Lucasfilm begins offering a glimpse at some of these surprises during the annual Toy Fair events around the world. As it unveiled many of its upcoming toys and collectibles, including those from the Clone Wars TV series, among the familiar characters like Obi-Wan, Anakin and Yoda is a mysterious new Padawan named Ahsoka Tano.
This young Togruta is eager to prove herself as a worthy Padawan to her bold Master, Anakin Skywalker. Able to wield a lightsaber and pilot a spacecraft with great talent, Ahsoka promises to become a worthy Jedi.

There is much more to learn about Ahsoka and the role she plays in the epic Clone Wars adventures and the Star Wars saga. Keep checking StarWars.com as more news comes to light about the series and this intriguing new Padawan.

The new CGI project looks TERRIBLE!!!!!! They remind me of dolls

Of course the new CGI project looks terrible, instead of using realistic looking CGI, like with Advent Children, they just made the deformed animation style of the cartoon 3D. Why in god's name they did this I don't know, but whoever made that decision is a moron.

I agree. They should've used the CW cartoons to create a new series or new movies maybe from the years between ROTS and ANH, or something like that.

Scenes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Coming soon to a theater near you..

One big reason why I like this series is that I heard it will make the jedi seem less like gods as seen in the previous clone wars series and thus overriding it as canon. And I agree whoever came up with this CGI needs a good slap in the face.

FFFFFFF****! I was hoping to see a new movie!

The CGI may not be the best, but I think the story will be really good.

For any who haven't seen it

My appologies for the doubble-post.

That looks horrible.

Money-grabbing *ssholes.

It looks like the story will be good. It is the un-told story of a war that truly little is known about. There have been stories, here and there, but this will finally delve into the true conflict of one of the largest wars in galactic history: The Clone Wars.

There is a documentry on StarWars.com. I can't get to it now since I am at my grandparents' house, and they have dial-up. 🙁

Nah, the story will be as good as the Prequels. Poor.
