^^ I too hope that they'll return as their respective voices. Even though they do have voices for those actors already as seen in the trailer, it wouldn't take too long to do some voice overs. Seeing as we're a little less than 6 months away from the premiere, there is still plenty of time to record a their voices.


There's a trailer for the mvoie??


Yeah, Here's the trailer from Celebration IV.

I thought that was a trailer for the series/season 1 as a whole and not the movie.

Series as a whole, but I imagine at least some of that footage will be in the movie, since the movie is just the first 3 or 4 episodes strung together.

Before episode I we never heard of Qui-Gon Jinn. Best thing about Episode I.

Before episode II we never knew R2-D2 could fly. That was fine.

Yoda's Kybuck is never mentioned in the films--doesn't detract from GT's "Clone Wars" (for the people who like it).

We never knew Chewbacca was tight with Yoda.

In five years, there will be no controversy here.


Exactly! I'll wait wait to see what happens when the actual content hit the screens, then make an intelligent view point. With all due respect!

Are you sure it is the first 3 or 4 episodes strung together? I've heard conflicting reports. For example, this blog entry on sfgate says the tv series will start where the movie leaves off: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/day?blogid=24&year=2008&month=02&day=12

This article seems to not support the idea the movie is just the first few episodes strung together: http://www.variety.com/VR1117980757.html

A relevant quotation from it: "The "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" movie is expected to run around 100 minutes and pick up between episode II and III. Anakin Skywalker is not yet Darth Vader. The story will then continue in 30-minute smallscreen installments."

I'm thinking that the debut movie will be 3 or 4 episodes strung together that picks up immediately where Episode II left off (or close thereabouts). I think the show will the air on television where the movie left off.

If it is going to be 3 or 4 episodes strung together I don't see it reaching the 100 minute mark like the variety article mentions. Of course nothing is set in stone yet though. Maybe, the content within the movie was originally going to be divided up into episodes, but now that they are going with a theatrical release they probably just decided they would start the series where the movie left off. Lucas or someone who works at Lucasfilm should really clear this up.

Well if it's going to be 4 episodes, each 22 minutes long then that would be just shy of an hour and a half. But, I also have a feeling that they had been planning this from the beginning which is to say that they may have designed it as a movie and not multiple episodes, per say.

I guess 4 episodes is close enough since that would be 88 minutes, which is just shy of an hour and a half like you said. The article didn't say it was going to be 100 minutes for sure, so 88 minutes seems to be close enough, but who knows how long it is actually going to be for sure? I know what you mean. They probably made the "episodes" as a self-contained story because they knew there was a distinct possibility it would be a theatrical release and if there was no theatrical release then they would have been able to air them when the show is set to premiere in the Fall.

A lot of animated action shows, like Transformers, have 3 or 4 part pilot story arcs, but the pilots are designed for each part to be able to be broken off into it's own episode so after the initially debut airing, they can more easily rerun the pilot storyline within the regularly shceduled 30-minute timeslot. I think it's very safe to say that's the case here- there's no way a TV network would start airing a show to TV audiences with the 5th episode, they'll want to air the story in it's entirety (assuming ratings sustain it wink ).

Maybe, the fifth episode is also meant to be a sort of pilot episode itself.

So what's the timetable. How long is the movie after AOTC and how long until ROTS will the series go?

I don't think that has been confirmed yet. The way I see it is they have a HUGE amount of time that can be covered. Theoretically, they can go from the last scenes of the clones departing Coruscant of AOTC to the opening space battle in ROTS.

Since it seems Anakin is already a knight as the series begins, that means the series starts no earlier than just after scene 3 of Chapter 22 from Clone Wars GT, which is approx. 30 months ABG. ROTS occurs at 36 months ABG, and the majority of the various lead-ins like Chapter 23, Labyrinth of Evil, etc start within a week or two of that, so figure the series has about 4.5 to 5 months of timespan where it doesn't overlap with anything major.

I hope they stick to this

For all the people that keep saying the series will cover the whole 3 years of the CW timespan have there been any pictures of Anakin or anyone else which would suggest the stories will take place at any point early in the Clone Wars?

I have only seen pictures that suggest it takes place in the timeframe suggested above after Anakin's knighting.
