Lucasfilm has announced that Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be released in North American theaters on August 15 and that it will be followed by the television series on Cartoon Network: SW.com
EDIT: The videoplayer over at SW.com is hopeless, but the glimpses of the show looked great. I particularly liked when Dave Filoni said that the series "must convey the epic scale to understand that there's a galaxy involved in this conflict". Hmm, I thought the Clone Wars was a "small scale brushfire war"...
EDIT 2: Filoni also said that we'll be seeing "a lot of clones".

Drooling Iguana: No, John. You are the liberals. Phantasee: So extortion is cooler and it promotes job creation! Ford Prefect: Maybe there can be a twist ending where Vlad shows up for the one on one duel, only to discover that Sun Tzu ignored it and burnt all his crops.

Twilek, new character for the series.

That's nothing new, it's been around for awhile. My guess is that her former master was killed and so they assigned her to Anakin (he was made a knight during the CW).
along with brand-new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka.
Which jackass at Lucasfilm came up with the bright idea that giving the fangirls a Mary Sue to live out their "fuck-- I mean, fight by Anakin Skywalker's side" fantasies will make the new series more successful? (I imagine FanFiction.Net will soon be filled with hundreds of Anakin/Ahsoka slash fics.)
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)
If this be her than it's a Togruta, not a Twi'lek. Nevertheless, the appearance of an unmentioned apprentice after everything that's been documented between the novels and the comics, I'm going to echo: WHAT?

Yes, that's correct, she's a Togruta and not a Twi'lek

Well, I remember something about George Lucas telling the writers of this show to forget everything they thought they knew about the Jedi... I'll have to look that up.

It's all part of the jump the shark movement that gave us crap like Dark Nest. The next stage will be an emotional angst moment where Anakin wrestles with cheating on his wife, Padme, with this apperantice...
Despite the fact that between AOTC and ROTS, Anakin was busy fighting with his master, Obi wan.
Thank you Lucasfilm, I was a proud fanboy.

Eh, if I were Lucas I'd be saying "fuck the EU, do it if you think it's an interesting story" too.
Hell, he was a full Knight who was considered for the Jedi Council. She probably just gets killed saving some child or something so they don't have to retcon Anakin as offing his own cute apprentice during the Purge.
(Or she escaped and Dark Horse gets to kill her off in some comic or something.)

This makes sense to me. Anakin passed his trials and was a full fledged Knight. Why wouldn't he have an apprentice? And as far as I'm concerned, the more GL fucks up the EU the better.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Or they kill her off and then some EU hack brings her back.
But I'll bet Asaaj kills the bitch and that's why Annakin offs her.

Why is that every other character in a prequels story is an ugly alien ? What's wrong with Jedi that look like Quigon or Bastila instead of multi tentacled and horned freaks ?
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

Because there are a shitload of aliens in Star Wars? Most of the Jedi appear to be aliens?

Just please someone make sure he understands that "a lot" in this sense means at least a half-dozen orders of magnitude above KT's idiotic numbers.

Appearance-wise, I can't actually get how Ashoka's "ugly". She's got Togruta features like the horns, but that's it.
And, lol@n00bs out of the loop about her. I was wondering when it would be brought up on the board.
I like the shot of the Republic fleet in the trailer, there's several Acclamators with Republic markings, Venators and some Consular-class space cruisers as well.

-revprez, with yet another brilliant rebuttal.
You know, when you see shit like GL saying "Forget what you know about the Jedi" and putting his seal of approval on Anakin having a padawan it makes me smile ruefully because for years many of us not happy with the EU have fallen back on saying things like "If GL really knew what was going on he wouldn't approve this shit." or "GL would never write something like this."
Well, obviously, we were wrong. Perhaps the state of the EU is precisely what we get with GL in charge. He is not some white knight riding in to save the stories we have grown to love and enjoy.
