Animated Star Wars on Cartoon Network

NeoCode writes "There were rumours and speculations first. Now it looks like its a done deal. Harry Knowles, of AintItCool.com has reports on an animated version of Star Wars set after AOTC but before episode 3. This series is produced by Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack). The cartoons will be a series of short films. Could this infuse Star Wars with a new life or is this just another merchandising plot? Nevertheless, this could be quite interesting." Yeah look what good Ewoks & Droids did for the SW universe ;)

Should read "yet, more animated star wars"

Title shoudl read "yet, more animated star wars" there was the ewoks and there was some cartoon with c3po and r2d2 for a while. I don't hold much hope for it being anything more than half hour long toy commercials, milking (or further watering down) the Star Wars franchise.

Perhaps on a better note, and possibly already mentioned somewhere here, Rendezvous with Rama is apparently to be all CGI, due out next year sometime. See here for details.
