'Star Wars: Clone Wars' Premieres Tonight

securitas writes "The Cartoon Network is about to premiere a new series of animated shorts based on the Star Wars prequels. The series comes from Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Lab) and debuts Friday Nov. 7 at 8PM Eastern Time. One correction: The USA Today article is incorrect in saying that 'Clone Wars marks the first animated series to involve any of the saga's leading characters.' That distinction goes to Nelvana's Droids, which followed the adventures of R2D2 and C3PO."

    lookout bullow.

    talk about pressure? those fauxking foulcurrs on wall street of deceit/capitollist hill, are having a whoreabull time attempting to hide the news (buy use of phonIE scriptdead ?pr? ?firm? hypenosys) of their felonious payper liesense billyonerrors' latest softwar gangster hostage taking attempts, &/or the adolescent dictator megalomania of the georgewellian fuddites/walking dead perpetraitors of the greed/fear/ego based life0cide against humankind.

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the aforementioned walking dead will not be available to make reparations, when the big flash occurs.

    Trinity, Morpheus, and Link are onboard the Hammer. Morpheus and Trinity go to consult the Oracle to find out where Neo is. The Oracle explains why she has a new shell. She tells Morpheus and Trinity how to get Neo and sends Serph with them as a guide.

    Neo is trapped in a world that is between the real world and the matrix. He awakes to find himself looking at a little girl. The girl is there with her two parents (programs). Her father is the guy being escorted out the of restaurant in Reloaded when Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus go to met the Merovingian. He explains where Neo is, that he made a deal with the Merovingian for his daughter and that should the Merovingian find out that Neo is in the
    train station he would not release him and he would be there for a long time.

    Seraph, Morpheus and Trinity go looking for the Trainman. The Trainman works for the Merovingian and built the place where Neo is trapped. They find the Trainman located on a subway train, a chase ensues, gunfire, and the Trainman escapes by jumping in front of an incoming train. Seraph, Morpheus, and Trinity now have to go to Club Hell to get Neo back.

    The Trainman arrives to take the Father, his wife and his daughter. Neo tries to board the train, but the Trainman recognizes who he is. Neo tells him he is getting on the train one way or another. The Trainman in turn tells Neo that he has no power here and cannot leave. He punches Neo (sending him flying into the wall), then he orders the Father and his family
    on the train and leaves Neo stranded. Neo hops done onto the tracks and tries to run after the train only to find himself right back in the station again.

    Morpheus, Trinity and Seraph kill the bouncers at the club entrance, get in the elevator. Seraph explains that there are no guns allowed in Club Hell and that they would have to fight there way in. They exit the elevator firing at the gaurds at the counter. There are some awesome effects (trailer portions of people fighting upside down). It's like the fight scenes from the 1st Matrix, but 10x better. They enter the Club and spiral their way to the
    Merovingian and Persephone.

    The Merovingian sees Seraph, Trinity and Morpheus coming torards him. He agrees allow them safe passage if they drop thier guns. They capture Seraph, Trinity and Morpheus and bring them before the Merovingian and Persephone.

    There is the usual long babble from the Merovingian trying to figure out "why" they are here. The Merovingian tries to make a deal with Morpheus, Trinity and Seraph saying he will give them Neo if they bring him the eyes of the Oracle. Trinity has enuff and starts fighting, she catches a gun and points it at the Merovingian's head. Everyone pulls guns and it's a standoff. She tells the Merovingian that if he doesn't release Neo then she will kill him and everyone in the room will die. Persephone says that she will do it because she is in love. The Merovingian says love is an emotion that resembles insanity.

    Neo is trying to will his way out of the train station, he closes his eyes to concentrate and has a vision of three power lines... A train pulls into the station and Trinity gets off the train. They hug and depart. Neo says he has to see the Oracle before they leave. They take him to see the Oracle.

    The Oracle explains to Neo that Smith is the inverse of him now and has taken over much of the Matrix and the darkness will spread consuming them all. If the Matrix ends, the machines end and so do the humans. She explains his earlier vision of three lines and says to follow them to get to the machine city. She explains it must end tonight, or all will be lost.

    Neo is wakes up aboard the Hammer explains that he needs time. Morpheus and the Hammer crew go looking for the Logos and Niobe's crew. Bane wakes up. They question Bane about what happened in the attack, how he survived and why he is mutilating himself. He says he doesn't remember. The captain of the Hammer orders the medic to make him remember.

    The council meets
