Don't know how many of you guys will be watching tomorrow. I think I am definitely giving it a chance. I mean it's the first Star Wars TV show since Droids and Ewoks (Ongoing, I mean). And the previews look adventures and fun, which is wha Star Wars is supposed to be. I can't wait.   I once farted on the set of Blue Lagoon. |

The only thing I noticed and liked about the trailers is that it seems more fun. I know the topic of the clone wars and all the Jedi deaths was more serious than Han yelling at chewie , but it looks like there are going to be some Episode 4-6 moments in this one. Also you see a better side of Anakin, which makes his fall even harder. I never really felt sorry for him in the movies, but now with the Clone movie and this series, and then seeing him in the Force Unleashed game, I am started to feel more pity for the character.

At one point, TNT and TBS were also going to carry the show in HD but it isn't currently on their schedules, at least not for tomorrow night. In any case, the first season will be out on Blu-Ray eventually and that will have to do. |

I agree with whoever said that this dismisses the first Clone Wars series, but I always thought that the war was pretty long and that this series happened between the two cartoons... So after Anakin defeates that hunter jedi, but before CW cartoon 2. I forgot if he had a scar in the animated movie, because that scar was received in the second part of the cartoon.
I know the second cartoon happens immediately before the movie, so this series must showcase the stuff in between.   I once farted on the set of Blue Lagoon. |

News Credits: 9 | I was just glad to see CN offering Steve Oedekerk's hilarious SW spoof "Thumb Wars" short as a bonus with tonight's airing of Clone Wars. I've got it on DVD and I'll probably still watch it again this evening. I keep hoping Steve's Thumbs will get picked up by [as] as a series, so any exposure the Thumbs movies get with larger audiences makes me happy and just keeps that hope alive.
I still haven't seen the most recent Clone Wars movie due to the negative reviews. And I just don't forsee them being able to top Genndy Tartakovsky's vision for the previous Clone Wars series. It was all kinds of awesome.
Either way, I'll still be watching tonight. I've been a SW fan nearly since birth, and like TFs I'm always willing to give new SW media a chance. + Publisher: Voice Actors In The News ~ Founder/Host: The Voice Actor Appreciation Group (Also on Facebook!)

I was pretty sad that they never got the Matrix Thumb out, and that one of the perfect spoofs could have been Thumb of the Ring. But it never got the chance to flourish.   I once farted on the set of Blue Lagoon. |
