Animated Star Wars on Cartoon Network

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-gotta-be-kidding dept.

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 ;)

    Oh dear god I think I'm going to be sick. When has a cartoon version of any real life movie suceeded? One? maybe two?

    I have a college degree.

    I stopped watching cartoons when I was 10 years old.

    I live in my own house that I pay for myself and drive my own car.

    I buy and make my meals.

    I mean, have I simply lost touch with all of you that much over the past few years? Or are all of these Harry Potter, anime, cartoon, and Nintendo articles as childish as I think they are?

    Don't get me wrong -- I love Slashdot and have no grudges against any editors. But really, who the hell cares about this kiddie crap?
