The series is set to begin broadcasting on Cartoon Network and TNT cable television stations this fall.

Takeuchi's anime credits include Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor and I.G's upcoming The Sky Crawlers. I.G. recently utilized Lucasfilm's Skywalker Sound to create the sound mix for The Sky Crawlers.

Okay, that's really interesting that they're doing that, but WTF? WHY are they doing that? They're worse than CAPCOM for milking a series for all it's worth. XD

I actually saw a trailer for that when I saw Speed Racer in theaters, and I couldn't figure out if they were doing a new story or remaking an old one. Turns out the latter was true. >> Oh well. I probably won't be watching it.

It'll probably make an impact for those who like Star Wars. I think this is going to be a separate story from the movies. At the very least, the animation should be good as the director's credits are quite impressive.

The trailer made it seem like a complete retelling of Episode 2. But I didn't see much so I'm not sure. And the animation did look really good, once you get over the almost robotic character design. (smiley)

And I like Star Wars myself, but the movie just seemed like another way to make some quick money. (smiley) Maybe I'm just being too cynical, though...

I think you meant "heresy". XD Or did you hear about the movie secondhand?

I really only liked the main three myself. All the others just seemed like someone made a movie of a bad fanfic. XD

Wasn't there already an animated clone wars?

And didn't Lucas say that 'the new trilogy will be the end of the star wars series'. With all these awesome movies out right now, I would prefer seeing him come up with a really awesome new hero. Instead of the same damn stuff. I know he can do it. AND I'M SICK OF STAR WARS!! Ok, I only hate the new star wars. Harrison ford is hot (smiley)
