"Clone Wars" Cartoon Shorts on Cartoon Network
snilloc writes "Starwars.com announces that Cartoon Network will carry "Star Wars: Clone Wars" cartoon shorts in order to bridge the gap between Episodes 2 and 3. I guess this means we won't be seeing the Clone Wars in Ep3, as many of us had hoped. On the bright side, we get our SW fix in twenty 2-3 minute shorts. We can only hope against hope that they won't suck."
As Cartoon Network: A new hope?
more like Attack of The Clones

That's not A New Hope!
. . . . I really DO have a life.
It's only funny until someone gets hurt. Then, it's hilarious.

I'm sure that, by now, the relationship between George Lucas and his fans is a standard case study in counseling handbooks, codependence manuals, psychotherapy training, etc.
Fans (to counselor): I love him, he's really wonderful deep down, I know he means well and is a decent man.
(Cut to videotape) Lucas: Take this, you stupid bitch! [Smack! Punch! Ewoks! Jar-Jar!]
Fans (Sobbing): It must be my fault --- I just can't seem to please him. I know he doesn't mean to hurt me like this....
It's awful, really.
I'd like to see the Millineum Toaster again.

How much suckitude can George Lucas cram into a 2-3 short? There's only so much bad dialogue and plot loopholes you could cram into that amount of time...

I mean, WTF? There aren't any saucer-eyed girls in school uniforms. You call that animation?
Lemme guess...the movie won a mere battle, but the war rages on! I despise hollywood's logic; anything to continue slugging kids' cereal boxes with wookies, jarjar, and pokemon...
Now Slashdot Wars...that'll be one hell of a cereal box! It would be rockin' if I get buy a box of "Quaker Oaties" and I would receive..."Quake4:william_pen's_alien_outhouse!" or open a box of "William Wonker's Nerdz" and receive a free 30-day add-less subscription to "Slashdot: News for Nerdz, stuff that matters a bit!"
That'll be the day...*cries*
But I'm sure you already Gnu that.
After all, the only parts I liked in Ep:1 and ep:2 were roughly 2-3 minutes long. The opening chase in ep:2, yoda knife fight, all about 2-3 minutes long. The rest of the movie could have been cut all together. As a matter of fact, I nominate there not be a EP3: at all, that lucas just show a quick montage of lightsabers turning on, women with odd haircuts, and planets/planetoid bodies exploding. Maybe set it to techno music, rather than the john williams score. 10 minutes long, in total, no muss, no fuss, just give me my noisy splosions in space.
I'm so tired of the train wreck of the star wars universe, I'm not even going to bother to preview this post before clicking submit.

I agree. And given Lucas' work on eps 1 and 2, I expect ep 3 will indeed roak.

You're right! There's absolutely no way they could transmit a 2-3 minute cartoon across the internet for easy viewing. Kill em all!
99% of people (or even Star Wars fans) are not going to watch the cartoon network to see 2-3 minute cartoons
99% of StarWars fans are going to watch them over the internet, download them, burn them to CD, burn them on the back of their retinas, memorize them, act them out on the streets of NY waiting in line 3 months for ep3 tickets ala the best.Triumph/Conan.skit.ever, download the new Triumph/Conan.skit that will be based on the acting out of the cartoons, memorize *those* lines, go write their own 8 page fanfic to replace and fill in between the cartoons....and still act like Lucas is a hideous beast for destroying the legacy of 4,5, and 6 once they see the cartoons and ep3....and buy all the toys.
So, don't worry about the viewership...because you know Lucas isn't. There's plenty of time for these things to disseminate to everyone who wants to see them regardless if they are released as flipbooks, written in Lithuanian.
