"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."

They have an animated Star Wars Episode IV in ASCII text!

This is hardly worth the time. First, it's listed in the 'expanded universe' section of the website. That means it's not canon; it doesn't count. Second, there isn't even going to be a proper cartoon of ~30 minute length. These are 2-3 minute shorts that will be shown as filler between shows. Finally, they only expect 20 of them. Less than one hour.
Why bother?

Lucas and TPTB (Rick McCallum and others) have said in interviews that the final climactic battle of the clone wars takes place at the beginning of EP III. If they want to give us some insite as to what actually happens during the clone wars then so be it. It's not like any of this stuff was going to be on film anyway! Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to see it in full CG with the power of ILM behind it but that's not going to happen so get over it and accept that Lucas has chosen to do anything at all.
You're right. To anyone living outside the US it's non-existent. That's EVEN BETTER.

BZZZZT! I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
While I was living in England the Cartoon Network was available on cable. Dexter's Laboratory, Pinky and the Brain, the whole lot.
Your courageous and selfless spelling corrections have made me a better person.
