YouTube - NEW STAR WARS SHOW SNEAK PEEK!!!

Looks better than the live film prequels.

[Bo8a_Fett]

They're releasing it as a movie in the theaters first so I hear before it airs on tv.Looks awsome...

[huedell]

Looks cool, but I'm more interested in the post-ROTS era...
you know, once the SITH are "large and in charge"
(and I heard there's gonna be a show based on that)

Though, again, the CLONE WARS thing still looks cool.

the Force Unleashed is the first part of a major cross media post Sith story in everything except film/tv...a bit like Shadows was.

I followed SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE---bought the book and the action
figures----I liked the story pretty much and like the idea that it took
place in that crucial original trilogy spot inbetween EMPIRE and JEDI

---but---as far as this FORCE UNLEASHED goes---I don't know if I'm ready to
sit down with another book that doesn't take place during the
"Luke/Leia/R2/3PO/Han/Vader/Chewie etc." era---no matter how much I like that
time period between ROTS and ANH (STAR WARS Ep. IV)
I'm too lazy nowadays...especially to go THAT far into the Expanded Universe
without a movie or TV show to make it easier for me to witness.

However, thanks for the heads up (I don't want to sound ungrateful
for the info!) And since at least Palpatine and Vader are in it as SITHS---
and maybe Fett is in there too(?) That's cool enough for me to think to
check it out maybe sometime in the far future.


And, by the way....after watching that computer animated CLONE WARS movie trailer-
--man---why can't they just do that with SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE
and/or SPLINTER OF THE MIND'S EYE----I'd freakin' LOVE that!

In fact...in animated versions of those two stories...
Mark Hamill would be perfect casting for Luke Skywalker!

Looks awesome,I would'nt mind seeing a re-make of the original tri-logy like this

[Cardzilla]

Me too.

The show is inspired by the art of Ralph McQuarrie. Should be gorgeous, especially on high def as the series progresses. From what I understand the first 3 episodes are not as visually stunning as what's to come because they hadn't gotten their techniques down yet.

Everything they said at the Wonder-Con panel sounded great, expanding on Anakin's story and relationship with ObiWan, developing their characters further. All of which leads one to wish they had tried that in the live action prequels. It's great to do an animated series, but they botched the films.

It look's good,Dark Woman is back! More stuff to collect then huedell
I do like Ralph McQuarrie's artwork especially Cloud City he painted and the concept stuff he did.Be nice to have more background to the characters,maybe we mite get a more insight into the Sith and Boba Fett?

Hmmm. I didn't think that. I thought they were quite successful in
showcasing and portraying the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

If anything it was the relationship/dialogue between Anakin and PADME that
was "botched".

And my opinion is basically common consensus as far as I know.

[Vortigern99]

I for one think Lucas did a fine job of showing us the friendship between Anakin and Obi-Wan, which was unique in that it was master-student but also brother-brother and rival-rival. Many fans somehow miss the nuanced development between the two, and tend to focus on the friction between them as opposed to the moments of mutual respect and friendship. To me it all seems very real and echoes certain relationships I've had in my life.

My main concern with the animated series is that Anakin is going to have a padawan learner of sorts, a young female name Asohka (sic?). This raises any number of possible inconsistencies and weirdnesses, but my mind is open before making any judegments.

[jwyblejr]

I'm passing on this. I think the original Clone Wars cartoon covered enough. Why go back and re-hash that?

[Seeker]

Anakin has a Padawan even though he only just get promoted in movie 3?

Annie/ Vader has an apprentice (According to the game) Between Sith and a new hope? Isnt that breaking Sith rules. Boy and he just got the job too.

Continuity........... whats that? Its not like we're making this up as we go along..


Oops wrong room This isnt Star wars vs Star Trek

And why does it have to be SW vs. ST battleground again?

This issue ain't even worthy of that.

Especially when, firstly, as it is, TREK is chock full of annoying
inconsistencies--- and you can accept it or not---and that's that.

and, secondly, as far as STAR WARS goes, Anakin can have all the
apprentice "types" he wants (Jedi OR Sith)...just as long as they are not official---
OR as long as they don't last long---OR some other "awkward scenario"
to create tension with the "higher ups" (i.e. Emperor or Jedi Council)---
-which you know, for "drama's" sake, will be the case...

....so...my thoughts are that its totally logical---or you
can be a stickler about a fictional issue----

*sigh* if only the ones that have problems with this stuff could be on the
Jedi Council----THEN these matters could be dealt with more realistically
