Animated Film Set To Kick Off Star Wars TV Show 270
Sasseen writes "George Lucas has announced that the animated Star Wars television show, which we've discussed previously, will be kicking off with a feature-length theatre release. Lucas felt that, 'there were a lot more 'Star Wars' stories left to tell. I was eager to start telling some of them through animation and, at the same time, push the animation forward.' A fully animated film will be released in theaters on August 15 with a TV series of more than 30 episodes planned to follow on Cartoon Network and TNT. Also of note from the article, 'A new character named Ahsoka, Anakin's padawan, will be the first female Jedi to be a character of focus'."

As soon as I saw the "quality" of the CG and character design, I lost what little interest I had in watching these clone wars.
And here I thought it couldn't get much worse than the animated shorts they had on Cartoon Network a few years back.

There are only 2.
Unlike Immortals, or which there can be only one. (going for the second sci-fi reference in the same post)

Seriously, though the animation sucked, the animated Star Trek often had much better stories than the original Trek. Let's hope this series does as well. Only with better animation. MUCH better animation.

Of all the things wrong with this entire concept, it's not the training timeline.

Umm, no according to The Wookieepedia the main char is a Human Male [wikia.com] done by the guy who played LT in the first season of Battlestar Galactica. Anyways, during the previous cartoon network Clone Wars, there was Sidious, Tyranus, and the chick who tries to kill Anakin, so they apparently don't hold fast to the two and only two rule.
