Yeah, probably one of those "extras" you get for paying for the Hyperspace version of the Lucasfilm online newsletter. :angry: I'll probably miss them, like I missed most of the comics that have come out over the past three years.

Weeeel, I reckon we will see a lot of these turn up on the net for direct download - if they are that short they will hardly take up any room. Heck, you could email it to your friends!

Not that I condone illegal file sharing or anything.... but I don't think emailing these things to people you know is outside of legal fair use.

Sorry, didn't mean to ignore you! We must have cross-posted.

please look at this thread for US/UK air dates and channels.

And oh yes, its animated all right!

ok so i have seen the first one, and it was only 5 min long, and looked........

welll lets just say i cant decide wether to shoot myself or laugh out loud that they are calling this star wars:rolly2:

I can't get the ToonAmi channel, and I haven't heard of it being on any other channel in the UK. But I have seen stills and I agree that the animation isn't as good as I had hoped.

I have a question though:

My son love the Star Wars figures you can buy, and there seems to be a new range that aren't from any film, and have the title "Clone Wars". Are these from this animated series, or are they from somewhere else i.e. Expanded Universe books.

timdgreat · 13th November 2003, 04:48 PM

i think its a combination of both, although it i cant really say for sure, because i havent seen anything on the next movie yet, so it might just be from the show(shrugs):rolly2:

Dave · 30th November 2003, 09:38 PM

My son reports that Cartoon Network has begun to air the Clone Wars shorts. He's seen two of them, and they are on about 4pm. I've not seen them yet, but he doesn't think much of them either.

ray gower · 30th November 2003, 10:58 PM

Wondered if they were going to be an attempt to fill in a few gaps. But having seen one it looks more like an attempt to cash in using cheap animation from a failed console game.

timdgreat · 2nd December 2003, 03:09 AM

i agree with u Ray, it seems like a combi getting some money out of it, and also trying to mabye grab some more attention for the failing star wars universe:rolly2:

Dave · 2nd December 2003, 09:15 PM

I've just see part of one:

Darth Tyrannus was fighting something with a skull for a head and then introduced it to his Master, Darth Sideous, who now apparently travels around on a turntable with three mechanical legs

timdgreat · 4th December 2003, 06:43 PM

lol, no dave that wasnt darth Sideous it was a holo prjection of him, and the "turn table" was infact just a mobile projector u can also see one of the same desighn in the first movie Phantom Menace:rolly2:

I've seen all twenty of these now and the stories are a little hit and miss, some being much better than the others. Because they are so short and because there is no constant narrative throughout, other than them being set during the Clone Wars, they seem very disjointed.

You do get to see why Obi Wan and Anakin become so respected as Jedi warriors. You don't get very much background to General Grevious (which is what I was looking to see.) One interesting part is an underwater battle featuring Kit Fitso. There is a great deal of animated explosions and lightsabre fighting, if that is what you crave!

timdgreat · 20th May 2005, 04:57 AM

yeah i enjoyed it for what it was, a filler for the time between movies. and besides it was funny to see SW animated

:rolly2:
