I’m not sure why, but I really am not that enthused about the upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars <\/strong>animated feature debuting in August. Is it because, as a Warner Brothers release it won’t open with the 20th Century Fox Fanfare, that short piece of music that has become inseparable from the Star Wars<\/strong> experience for so many people? Is it the fact that I found the recent prequel trilogy to be lacking on so many levels, that I\u2019m not all that interested in what happens between Episode II<\/strong> and Episode III<\/strong>? Am I too cynical to believe that because they are taking the first three episodes of a cartoon series and plastering it up on the big screen, that it isn\u2019t just a cash grab and marketing ploy?<\/p>\n

For those of you who are excited by the upcoming film, here’s something to whet your appetite, the film\u2019s poster. (Click for a bigger version.)<\/p>\n

(By the way, the girl peeking out from behind Obi-Wan is Anakin\u2019s Padawan, Ahsoka. What’s that you say? You don’t remember seeing her in Revenge Of The Sith<\/strong>? Well, that doesn’t bode too well for her, now does it?)<\/p>\n

Lucasfilm’s official Star Wars<\/strong> site has also announced that the film’s trailer will debut tomorrow night at 7:58 simultaneously on Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang. It will also be attached to the front of Warner Brothers\u2019 Speed Racer<\/strong>, which opens on Friday.<\/p>\n

If it is the same trailer that was screened at the New York Comic Con last month, than fans are sure to eat it up. As I’ve said before, I found the design work to be fairly inconsistent. For some elements, it looks as if the animators are striving for at least a certain degree of photorealism, where for elements they are not. The flesh and blood characters have a certain cartoon-ish quality, which is fine in itself. But viewed next to the more realistic looking clone troopers, the overall effect distracted and disconnected me from what I was watching.<\/p>\n

Star Wars: The Clone Wars<\/strong> will be in theaters on August 15. The cartoon series will begin running on Cartoon Network later in the fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
