George Lucas sure knows how to make money. His 3-D animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars will first premiere in theaters on Aug. 15 as a feature before spinning off into a series on Cartoon Network this fall. The show will also air on TNT. The animated movie is expected to run around 100 minutes and take place between episode II and III, before Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader. The story will then continue as a TV series in 30-minute installments. The only original actors to reprise their role as the voice of their character are Anthony Daniels as C3PO and Matthew Wood as General Grievous and the battledroids.
I actually have no problem with this. Why not release this in theaters to make a little extra money and to get some excitement built up around the series. I am sure a lot of people will complain about this tactic but will then be there opening weekend to see it (I know I will be).
