George Lucas announced that he'd be sending The Clone Wars series to theaters soon.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars were an animated series of 2-minute shorts that aired on the Cartoon Network while I was in college. They added up to about 35mins of solid footage. They were pretty well done, and built up the characters of Episode III. General Grevious made his official debut on the series, as did another similar villian. These shorts are cool, yes, but I'm not sure they'd flesh out to an entire stand alone film. Still, anything that brings Star Wars back into the public's focus is cool with me. I just don't understand why the keep fleshing out the same storyline and characters with so much Lucas-approved material that came out in the first few books. The story-arcs featuring Mara Jade, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Luke's new Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 provide so much content that could become a seriously kickass feature film.

It would for sure do well, people love that series, from some of the films I have seen lately, it would only be a step up
i never read the books and i suppose i should, but i sorta don't want to tamper with the magic of the 6 movies.
i saw this article this morning and wondered if the cartoons were any good. not sure if i'd be up for it or not....ok, of course i'd be up for it. :)
