Animated Star Wars

It’s entirely CGI, and lacks Genndy Tartakovsky’s sleek character designs that made the Cartoon Network version so appealing, but the I’m sure Star Wars nuts will dig this.

From Drew Corbitt, via TV Jab:

Official word comes in today from the Star Wars camp regarding the all-CGI offering in store later this year.

If you thought that Revenge of the Sith would be your last experience with new Star Wars content in the theater, you’d be wrong. August 15 is the day that Star Wars: The Clone Wars will hit screens with a feature-length debut.

You can check out the trailer for the series here, though no matter which browser or machine I used, the video was slow and choppy.

Edit: It’s also worth checking out this post at the Character Design Blog: Star Wars: Clone Wars Lifeless and Static

    Ok, you can play it “too cool for the room” paintedman, but I liked seeing this. The Clone Wars did have a nice, unique animated style. I have to disagree with Luc though, I think it does use Genndy’s style, just in CGI form (see the Yoda figure, for a good example).
