Star Wars: Clone Wars in Theaters (15 August 2008)

[RamZnation]

I foresee LA Jedi going to the premiere.

Here's some info I got...



A new era of Star Wars entertainment begins in 2008 when Star Wars: The Clone Wars, from creator George Lucas, premieres as an all-new feature film in August, followed by the television series debut in the fall, in a partnership announced today between Lucasfilm Ltd., Warner Bros. Pictures and Turner Broadcasting System Inc.
Produced by Lucasfilm Animation, Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes audiences on incredible new Star Wars adventures, combining the legendary storytelling of Lucasfilm with an eye-popping, signature animation style. Star Wars: The Clone Wars will open in North American theaters Friday, August 15. International release dates will be announced soon.

THE CLONE WARS will premiere in theaters on August 15th and then continue with 30 minute episodes on TNT in the fall.

Awesome/Weird. The first time 20th Century Fox hasn't been attached to Star Wars...

You had better start waiting in line now, Star Wars fans. A new movie is headed to theaters.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is set to open Aug. 15, with all the familiar characters from the prequel trilogy and one big difference: The saga is computer-animated.



The feature film, chronicling the wartime adventures of a pre-Darth Vader Anakin Skywalker and mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi, takes place immediately before the events in 2005's Revenge of the Sith. It serves as a kickoff for the half-hour animated TV series planned for fall on Cartoon Network and TNT.


"I felt there were a lot more Star Wars stories left to tell," creator George Lucas said in a statement. "I was eager to start telling some of them through animation."



In this film, Anakin and Obi-Wan are trying to hold together the galactic republic, split apart by war between a separatist robot army and the good-guy white-armored clones. (They later become the bad-guy Stormtroopers.)


The Jedi also are aligned with a new studio. Though 20th Century Fox released the previous Star Wars movies, this film comes from Warner Bros., corporate sibling of Cartoon Network and TNT. Lucasfilm Animation is producing both the film and TV series and has created 30 episodes.


Among revelations in the film: Anakin has a padawan (or Jedi apprentice) named Ahsoka, says Clone Wars director Dave Filoni, adding a new wrinkle to established lore.

I concur.

Well for some good news it will definitely be playing in Hollywood but we don't know which theather but it has been narrowed down to either the Arclight (Please the Dome) or the Chinese and I know my fellow Luners are talking about a one Week Lineup for this.
