The site looks cool! And the soundtrack is awesome! I love it! Anyway, I don't know whether it was discussed, but I need to ask, what will be there in the series? I mean will we see an adaptation of some of the comics or the books, or will they will make up new battles? And another thing...what is that super weapon Grievous is using in the sneak peak and will we see it in the movie?

They haven't specifically said they will be redoing or reinterpreting stories from the Clone Wars campaign (novels, comics, video games, Tartakovsky's short CWs).
As I mentioned before (but don't expect at all), I'd love to see an animated version of Shatterpoint by Matt Stover.
I think we're going to see brand-new stories, with references to other EU events during the Clone Wars.

I will view this series as a Clone Wars reboot. I can only hope that someday Lucas will reboot The New Jedi Order.

Interview with the maker of The Clone Wars video game, exclusive to the Nintendo Wii.
Interesting that he mentions film, DVD and tv series. Will we get the DVD version of the theatrical release soon after?
ARTICLE HERE
Interview: Star Wars: The Clone Wars
LucasArts gives us the scoop on its Wii-exclusive lightsaber duel-fest.
by Matt Casamassina
June 18, 2008 - It may have been slow to arrive, but that galaxy far, far away has finally come to Wii. First, with LEGO Star Wars and next with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. But LucasArts may be saving the best for last in the form of a ground-up Wii-exclusive effort based on the upcoming animated movie and TV series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The title, developed by Krome Studios, is set to hit Nintendo's console later this year and it's designed to make full use of the Wii remote. Find out how in our exclusive interview with producer Ken Fox below. We've also been able to use the Force to bring you the first screenshot of the game in motion.
IGN: The game is developed for the ground up for Wii. What has this allowed you to do?
Ken Fox: The biggest thing has been the opportunity to design and tune the controls around the unique controller. That's the hook in many Wii specific games, but I think we've been able to take advantage of it like the market really hasn't seen yet. The difference between swinging your Lightsaber by hitting a button and swinging you r Lightsaber by swinging the Wii- remote is huge. Developing specifically for the Wii also gave us the opportunity to really dial in the look of the game to match the show very closely rather than needing art assets to be usable cross-platform.
IGN: Describe the gameplay in The Clone Wars. What exactly do you do? Is it a beat-'em-up? (Right now, we're picturing something like LEGO Star Wars. Please help us understand exactly the type of game you're making.)
Ken Fox: Clone Wars for the Wii is all about lightsaber dueling. It's about swinging your Wii remote like a Lightsaber and recreating what we know will be classic Lightsaber battles from the movie and the show. It's also about the character development that happens in Lightsaber Duels. We have one of the main writers from the movie and the series writing and all the voice talent from the series recording over 4000 lines of dialog for the game. So, when you as Obi-Wan versus General Grievous, they will say things to each other that they will never say to any other character. We think this is something that we've never seen in a game like this and is perfect for Star Wars and the Clone Wars franchise in particular.
IGN: LucasArts is really pushing the game's lightsaber battles. How do you control your lightsaber with the Wii remote?
Ken Fox: We've tried to make the lightsaber control as intuitive and fun as possible. It's not a Lightsaber simulator, but when you swing your Wii remote left to right; your character does the same. You use the thumbstick on the nunchuck to move your character and swing the Wii remote to swing your Lightsaber. The buttons all do cool stuff like use the force, block and dodge, but the focus is really on putting the Wii remote in the players hand and saying 'This is your Lightsaber!'
In-game screenshot of Lightsaber Duels
IGN: A lot of games have tried for one-to-one swordplay, but none have nailed it. Are you going for it?
Ken Fox: I wouldn't describe what we're doing as one-to-one in the way that you might picture, but we really tried to make it feel like you get to swing your Lightsaber 'manually'. In short, it feels like the most natural and convincing sword type experience I've had on the Wii. And on top of that, it not just a sword, it's a lightsaber.
IGN: Are you using pointer-based and gestural gameplay controls?
Ken Fox: We are not doing much with the pointer beyond menu choices as we felt like it might take away from the feeling of the Wii remote being like a Lightsaber. As far as gestural controls, there's a few 'mini game' moments that use some light gestures, but still within the context of wanting it to really feel like you're swinging your Lightsaber not using a game controller.
IGN: How can you use the environments to your advantage?
Ken Fox: Well, although we wanted to keep the focus really squarely on Lightsaber dueling, we thought you just wouldn't feel like a Jedi unless you could use the force to pick things up and throw them at each other. So we made sure that you could, you know, pick things up and throw them at each other using the force, but to make it more Lightsaber centered, we made sure a lot of the things you can throw need to be sliced off first with your Saber.
IGN: You can play as different characters from The Clone Wars series, both good and bad. How does that work?
Ken Fox: In the story mode, where we are recreating the greatest Lightsaber battles from the movie and the series, you play through as the Jedi. But in the other modes of the game, challenge, multiplayer etc. you just pick your favorite character and go to town!
IGN: What are you most proud of visually speaking in regard to the game?
Ken Fox: We are very happy with the look of the game. We use a lot of the visual tricks that the Wii is best at, but more than any specific technical achievement, I am proud of the fact through all of the technical achievements and the very close contact we have had with the animation team making the movie and the series; we have been able to achieve a look that really matches the source material and creates the very real feeling that you are playing the show.
IGN: Is there a multiplayer mode of any kind?
Ken Fox: Yes! We really see multiplayer and the social aspect of this game as a huge part of its potential. We see a scenario much like with sports games where fans will watch a real game on TV and then boot up a video game and replay the match they just watched. We see fans watching the show every week and extending the experience by booting up the Wii game and re-enacting the great lightsaber duel they just saw, then picking their favorite characters and dueling some more.
IGN: Wii owners are a finicky bunch. Why should they be excited about Star Wars: The Clone Wars?
Ken Fox: The promise of a Wii Lightsaber game has hung in the air since the Wii hit the shelves. We think this is the game that delivers on that promise. It also delivers on what we think Wii owners will want from a game based on the new Clone Wars Movie, DVD, and TV series. The Clone Wars is an exciting way to relive the duels from the series using your Wii remote as a lightsaber, as well as keep the gameplay open and accessible to everyone.

The game looks cool! Anyway, I would like there to be series focused mainly on the Clones and their perspective, it would be boring if it is entirely Jedi-centric. I would like to see the Republic Commandos or the Null ARCs...After all it was called the Clone Wars...And they should show the moral dilemma the Jedi are facing by participating in this war...And at last show Grievous's true strength, not running when he sees a strong Jedi...

As far as I know Admiral, they haven't released too much information about what's going to be involved in the Clone Wars except for what's in the trailers and on the new site. I believe that we'll be seeing totally new things, battles, etc. instead of adapting the books or comics, but then again, not too much has been released. As far as the Weapon Greivous is wiedling, I'm not sure what that is. About the only thing we do know is that Anakin has an apprentice named Ahsoka and the existence of Captain Rex (if anybody else knows more, please say so!).

Lucas has name-dropped Band of Brothers, so I'm guessing we'll see a whole bunch more of the clones.
Another game shot:

I had my doubts about this game, but like I said a month or two ago I'd know exactly how I felt once I saw the first SC. Now I can say "Lightsaber duels" looks awesome. I like how even in the game Grievous's two main sabers are Luke's ROTJ and Luke's ANH.
Everytime I see that in ROTS I giggle to myself a little.

When the movie comes out is it going to be a TBC?? Also do you think when it comes out on DVD format that the first season of the cartoon will include the movie with it or is the movie going to be a by itself? Just want to save money when i buy this

Once again, a great find GARTH. I have really been wanting another Wii game to buy, and this will be it. Though, I would like to have a first person sort of thing like they had with that arcade game, that's what I was hoping for in the lightsaber simulator. This does sound great, none-the-less. 
adx: I am not sure if they had said. I thought I read around here that the movie will actually be the first couple of episodes. Though, do not quote me on that. And, about the DVD, I would assume that they will sell it separately because they like money.

I'm not sure exactly how we'd get into contact with her. I don't think she visits these boards (I could be wrong). Even so, I doubt they'd release info about that.

DN- that arcade game defined my childhood! I loved playing that game, blowing up the death star, fighting on hoth, speeder bikes, bobba fett and Vader. That would be awesome if they made a game like that for Wii. I still wish they made video games of either episode of the Saga- ROTS style, playing as the main characters and following the plot of the movie. I don't know 'bout chall but I'd buy it.
adx- I'm taking a good guess that the movie will be released seperatly from the DVD season. It will probably be titled "Clone Wars- The movie" and the seasons would probably take off right after the movie. Why? Because Lucas likes his money and even though the movie is just the first few episodes it was combined to be a feature length film. Though, if it was released with the seasons I would be incredibly happy.

So you think that it is going to be seprate relases but not doubling up on each other meaning that the dvd of the movie will be just the first 3-4 episodes of the series and then the series dvd will follow with episode 5 ?
