Clone Wars information and Episode III spoiler news - *Contains Ep3 Spoilers*

I don't think loosing a lightsaber is a big thing in the PT era. He'll probibally just get a new one.

 

If anything I hope the CWC increases in Animation... because Cartoons are judged by their graphics, never their story... which sucks sometimes.


I really do hope they dont use Sammuri Jack Graphics... those are lame... bring on Pre-CGI or High Quality Anime.

 

I'll even take 1970's Scooby Doo over Samurai Jack.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about the animation. The reason why the CN original cartoons are a bit lackluster animation-wise is because of the tight deadlines involved with weekly half hour television, and the budget limitations. I think the CW cartoon will benefit from being shorts rather than 30 minute episodes...think about the quality difference between a 2 minute commercial and your average episode of basic cable tv. (okay, maybe not as good as a multi-million dollar commercial, but you get the idea) I like the design of Samurai Jack, and I think the sample CW artwork on the official site looks good. Here's hoping...

 

Sapient-

Hey, I like the Scooby animation!


I'm not sure about the Samurai Jack style for Star Wars, though. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, ah?

 

Hmmm...

That would be interesting but I would place my money on a design more similar to Stormtroopers

 

I agree with you 100%. If there are to be deviations, expect them to be even closer to that of the OT stormtrooper.

 

Actually, I dunno. Durge and some other characters were designed by Lucasfilm. I wonder if the ARC troopers were designed by Lucasfilm...

 

Well in a way isn't every thing designed by Lucasfilm ?

I mean if I said that the characters in the Clone War video game were designed by LFL I wouldn't be wrong. It doesn't mean that Lucas is there with his stamp making sure that he likes all of the designs (remember the stamp from TPM docu. Hillarious).

 

It would be interesting if Windu has a different Lightsaber in III... He would have a different one in every episode he appears in... I believe thats a record.

 

Well in a way isn't every thing designed by Lucasfilm

No. In this see, i think they mean artists that actually created some of the concept art for the movies.

I mean, if Dark Horse artsists were the sole group responible for creating the ARC troprs, you ouldn't say they were esigned by Lucasfilm.


They don't say other original characters arecreaed by Lucasfilm.

I mean if I said that the characters in the Clone War video game were designed by LFL I wouldn't be wron

Yeah you would. Specifically, they woud be designed by LucasArts. I don't recall the Lucas Arts website saying that "this character has been designed by Lucasfilm" too often.

Spotlight: Anakin's modified Jedi starfighter
Anakin's starfighter began as a standard Delta-7 Aethersprite that was heavily modified by the Chosen One to suit his demanding tastes for speed and control. It is more heavily armed than the standard Jedi starfighter, and handles better during atmospheric flight. These concept design sketches are by Ryan Church, one of the Concept Design Supervisors for Episodes II and III.

Is that fighter based on concept art for Episode II?

Anyway, the only real difference between the stormtroopers in AotCs and the ones in the OT are the helmets. Let's face it, i you wanted to make the stormtrooper armor anymore OT stormtroorish, you're basically going to have an OT stormtrooper. I can't see GL throwing away the AotCs look so quickly. We haven't had enough time to enjoy them yet. Te ARC clone trooper armor looks different enough from the AotCs armor, yet it doesn't It looks somewhat like an OT trooper but not too much.

It has the shoulder pauldrons thathe stormtroopers in ANH wore, and it also has the cloak that that the snowtroopers in the Empire strikes Back wore.

 

Up! (not looking... )

 

Is General Grievous actually Assaji Ventress? Maybe Assaji got fatally injured durung the clone wars, and Dooku saved her with bionic and droid implants and she became resurrected as the cyborg Grievious. That would explain Grievious' lightsaber wielding capabilities.

 

I doubt it very much

Oh, and Rick McCallum has said that ARC Troopers are not in Ep3.

 

That's a good idea 2ndQuest, I would really like that

 

I want ARC in EP3 plz

or they are all dead?!

 

Rick McCallum said there are no ARC Troopers in Ep3

But with how much the fans' love them, I think it's madness that we won't get a single glimpse of them on the big screen

 

"Though, after the popularity of the cartoon, it wouldn't be difficult for them to insert a couple ARCs into the background, since all the trooper armor is CGI anyways."

Yes, that would be great.

Let's hope...

 

I like the idea of Grevious being Asajj, but I have been thinking that it is in face DURGE. I mean, it would almost make sense. Am I just a crazy old wizard?

 

Anyone know if those funky clone starfighters Torrent-V19's or whatever are going to appear in Episode 3, or are they another thing invented soley for the cartoon?

 

They are not confirmed yet Jaypee, and I do believe they were designed for the cartoon. But I would love to see them in the film to give a link between the series and the movie.

 

One thing that bugs me is when people FLIP OUT at the name 'General Grievous' saying that it is an Episode III story. It ISN'T! And you wanna know why? Because www.starwars.com posted it there, therefore it is NOT considered a spoiler. Unless you think that Chewie being in it is a spoiler as well.

 

Some people even find a character name a spoiler. It is considered a spoiler, and even TOS posts spoilers, even though it was an accident that was up for only 2 hours
