This is wonderful news. The new video looks even better than the trailer. And since CN isn't in HD yet and the series is being made in high def, it'll be great to see it that way on the reruns on TNT's HD channel. This puts TNT as an obvious front runner for the live action series.
It's going to be weird to see Star Wars without the Fox fanfare before it.

I don't know this for sure, but someone in another thread said that CN is going HD next season, so maybe by the time CW airs, it will be shown in HD.
I totally agree that it would be a natural move to also air the LAS on TNT. TNT is a station that has broad appeal and puts out high quality shows. I'm sure GL was looking for a station that could have the broad appeal to carry both the CW cartoon and the LAS. TNT is a good fit for that. I would expect that GL will see how it goes with the CW, and as long as everything goes smoothly, the LAS will follow.
I REALLY hope they debut the LAS on the big screen as well. It would just up the ante for the quality (and interest) of the show to the general public. Plus, GL would be breaking new ground as I can't think of a show in recent memory that has done such a thing. Fans would love it.

Yeah CN will be in HD, but like I said in that other thread, that stuff ALWAYS gets delayed. I'd hate to miss even one episode in HD.
A theatrical release for the tv series is practically free money. It's about the same as re-releasing a film (even though that isn't really done much anymore) because it's already been paid for.

I also think GL wants the CW series to be seen in some fashion on the big screen. It will really show off the ability of their animation studio, but I think SW (because of it's "epic" nature) belongs on the big screen in some way. Sure, I'll enjoy the TV episodes as well, but main, this release (I hope) will look great on the big screen!
Who knows, maybe SW is destined to be an animated epic from here on out. It does seem to fit quite nicely.
Also, not to put down Japanese Animation, but this looks different enough where it has some originality to it. The desktop wallpaper art looks fantastic. Love it!

I have a feeling this series is going to upset a lot of people for one BIG reason: continuity is probably going to be tossed aside. I don't know for sure, of course, but I get the feeling this show is going to forget the original cartoons and god knows what else. Anakin having a Padawan sounds bad..I have to agree. It doesn't "fit" and seems out of place. I'll still watch this show though, that'll never stop me - it does look amazing.
And maybe, this will open up the idea of further SW animated movies - maybe stuff that takes place during the Sith Era, etc...If it was done in the style of the upcoming Resident Evil Animated movie, it could be awesome.
I'll happily be in theatres when this comes out!

Is anyone familar with the work of Filoni and the writers? I just can't get excited about this until there's a guarantee the film will be as character-driven as the sextet.

I totally agree that the expansiveness of the SW saga does fit nicely with an animated epic. But don't forget that the LAS is coming in '09 (we hope) so there's still live action Star Wars to be seen in the future.

This is pretty awesome news. I saw someone mentioned that they hoped they have midnight showings. That would be awesome: midnight showings are the best!
Though, I don't know why, I am not sure I like the idea of Anakin having a padawan. It just seems to change a lot of already established things.

Actually, yes. The whole opening from the Fox Fanfare...to the Lucasfilm logo...to A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... to Star Wars and the opening crawl just won't be the same. It's been the same for 6 movies and I hope it doesn't feel any different. I just hope that there is any opening crawl. It wouldn't be Star Wars without it
