Star Wars for iSm (and other Star Wars Fans)

New cartoon on August 15th. Just thought I'd let you know.

Saw it in Variety today, but thanks ever so (especially since my subscription is about to expire, and so i easily could have missed it).

But I'm so confused.

It's a new Clone Wars cartoon series based on the same subject as the old Clone Wars cartoon series. huh?

Another oddity - they're releasing a 100-minute version of the new Clone Wars theatrically ... like 2 weeks before it airs on tv.

I'm just annoyed that George keeps ploughing this Clone Wars "prequel" era for storylines. It has failed to pay off in spades, in three brain-numbingly tedious movies. (The Cartoon Network series was kind of fun, but hardly must-see.) In an animated series, we could easily go beyond Chapter Six, and into uncharted (not foregone conclusion-based) new territory.

I guess it is to the credit of the first series of films that I still care and want this franchise to become wonderful.

I heard about this back in July but forgot about it.

Can't say I give a damn.

F'n Lucas. Why did he have to slaughter that which the world loved? :tears:

I'm with flippy...I just can't bring myself to care. Stupid prequels. I want to see Han, Luke and Leia! Not whiny-boy and fashion-victim girl.

Hubby went out of town last year, and I thought I'd waste some of that time having a little private SW marathon (of all 6), and I found the prequels unwatchable. So much worse than I'd remembered...

I'm now an unapologetic basher. But none of that will ever spoil my love of the first, um, two (I consider ROTJ the first of the bad films).

Yep, i can't even watch Attack of the Clones anymore ... which, at the time, i considered the "good one"

Um, don't even own Revenge of the Sith, that's how much I loathed it. I'm glad to say my own private 6-episode marathon would not even be possible.

At eleven, RoTJ was heaven. Just sayin'.

But no, I don't think I can suffer any more prequel-era SW.

innerSpaceman · 02-13-2008, 10:24 AM

Oh, and on LSD, RotJ was heaven, too.

Just sayin'
