Got this over at starwarsfan.org: 20 Animated "Clone Wars' Serial Shorts to Appear on Cartoon Network in 2003-2004 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2003--Cartoon Network and Lucasfilm Ltd. announced today a partnership to create Star Wars: Clone Wars, a series of 20 animated shorts that will air on Cartoon Network in 2003-2004 between other programming. Star Wars: Clone Wars continues the saga where the live action feature film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones left off - at the beginning of the Clone Wars, an epic civil war that pits the old Republic against a vast separatist movement led by the forces of evil. If this is done right, which I think it will be, it will be AWESOME!!! If not, here we come Ewok Adventures to quote a friend.
My biggest complaint would have to be with the length of the episodes--2 to 3 minutes each? How do they intend to cover the massive clone wars in such a short period of time?
