GRAND CANNON Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm impressed and eager for this!! http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000478.html Anyone have an idea on when it may be released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Regardless of the story, the animation just plain creeps me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrono Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Regardless of the story, the animation just plain creeps me out This is not to be unexpected from the shallow pool of talent that he is pulling from. His Asian studio won't be up to par for several years and is only at this level because Lucas transferred high level talent to be the heads of the studio doing the project. We'll see what style and level of quality the studio is able to produce by 2009-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Wait, wtf, we already got a Clone wars series........why ANOTHER one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Well, there's numerous battles that can be covered since it was the huge Clone Wars and such. They could have even done the same with the Original Trilogy era / Galactic Civil War. As for the animation... bleh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Why oh why couldn't the prequel trilogy have been this? Yeah, ok, so anyways, looks kickass, I would assume this is coming out in 2008. Frank Oz is voicing Yoda, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I could have swore i read somewhere, could have been JediInsider, that they're shooting for a Nov. 2008 release for the first episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have even done the same with the Original Trilogy era / Galactic Civil War. As for the animation... bleh. Again....we've already got a series, and there were video games that also covered the Clone Wars (Starwars Clone Wars FPS) Look see this? *WHACK!* I'm beating a dead horse! Why oh why couldn't the prequel trilogy have been this? I'm glad it didn't, if it were I wouldn't have gone and seen it. It reminds me of those low budget CG movies that were airing on Action channel and G4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr March Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) Saw this on another message board and I'm still of the same opinion about this new series. I like the character design and the scene composition, but the animation is like CG movie sequences in the late 1990s (I'm thinking Blizzard Entertainment video games, circa 1998). I expected far better motion physics from a current CG animation series, especially from a franchise with deep pockets like Star Wars.

Hoptimus Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 As long as it doesnt ret-con any of the Gennedy series than I will watch it. The animation though looks sub-standard to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Genndy's character designs work well for his 2d animation style, but they DO NOT work for 3d cgi. Much of that was just too creepy looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Valkyrie Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Not really interested. It seems lucas only cares/thinks for the prequels. He can make many new stories but no, just making prequel side stories. He and his prequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 So will this be the 2d cartoon made in cg or a seperate story altogether? I liked the toon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I also gotta say that the 3D CG character designs look terrible. I would have preferred a more photo-real style, like the Final Fantasy CG movie. I'm guessing Lucas stuck with Clone Wars era as most SW fanboys just wanna see Jedi and lightsaber action and if you go with original trilogy time-line you are limited in that respect. Still, as bad as it looks, we are probably all going to end up watching it anyway. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm more anxious to see what the live-action TV series turns out like, that's still in the works, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm disappointed and horrified by the character designs. I was hoping it would be realistic characters, to basically be like a live-action show that just happens to be animated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Clone wars has been covered sufficiently. It'd make more sense to cover the post oriignal trilogy territory, with the supposed original VII, VIII, & IX parts of the story. CG/animation would solve all problems resulting from actor's being too old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hell Mark Hamill is a voice actor now, he could easily do Luke's voice again if Lucas wanted to lure him back with more cash. I would still like to see something taking place in the era of Knights of the Old Republic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Mark Hamill has collectively done far more voice acting than live action acting. I would be surprised if ANY of them would ever even consider reprising their roles... I figure they've probably had enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The animation actually looks pretty good for a tv series, I'm not certain what everyone is complaining about as far as that goes. If this were a movie, I'd say it's sub-par, but this is a tv series isn't it? I can only assume the majority of complaints are confusing a style they don't care for with actual quality of production. Lots of people seem to do that. That or an expectation of high budget movie effects in a tv series. As for the designs, well opinions are opinions and you know what they say about opinions. Personally, I'm sick unto death with all of the attempts at "realistic" CG that simply winds up looking creepy due to "uncanney valley" syndrome. I'm sick of realistic CG in general, and on principle because it's what so many high end productions aim for. Personally, I think this looks stylish, and and a nice change of pace from all that.

Graham Sorry to be the voice of dissent again Graham But the actual use of the Clone Wars era is just as restrictive as the now unused Original Trilogy / Galactic Civil War era. Practically every book, comic, game, etc set in the Clone Wars era is focused on the Jedi despite the richness and variety of the Republic Army and Navy. Clonetrooper armor + blasters and the preceding Star Destroyer designs. They're fabulous! But what does every Clone Wars era book, comic, game reduces itself to? Lightsabers swinging all over the place or ridiculously, increasingly overpowered Force abilities. And that's it, despite the large established background of the Republic. Even in books "centered" on the Republic Clonetroopers have Jedi taking the central role (Republic Commando books) What Lucasfilm / Lucasarts is doing with the rich possibilities of the Clone Wars is just as straight-jacketed as any perceived restrictions with the OT era.

Ladic Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Im not sure which is exactly the premise of this series clone wars, but I would like to see more of the story that happened elsewhere, not necesarily the ob1 and anakin adventures. But more Clone Trooper tales and other jedis in different planets fighting. I think we've seen enough of yoda, windu, ob1, anakin with the movies.

Smiley424 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 would've been nice to see a show focus on a single clone trooper unit or Republic Commando unit, get a different, fresh perspective on the war. Maybe even follow the of the 501st Legion, "Vader's Fist". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
