Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)

What I'm confused about is...didn't they already do this, with the Clone Wars shorts on Cartoon Network?
What's the difference?

It's an entirely different series with each episode being a normal 1/2 hour show instead of a 2 minute short. Plus the first 4 episodes will debut in theaters in August.
Here's more info on Movieweb

I kinda like the style... although it does have a "cheap" look too it in some shots. (love Obi-Wan's look) Not particularly impressed with the voice acting although I guess we can expect good sound fx right? Probably gonna sit this one out and wait for the potential Blu-Ray.

"Returning characters include Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala, along with brand-new characters such as Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka."

I hope you meant prequels.

Theatrical for this? Not so sure about that. I like the idea of a new CW series, but I don't think this "pilot" needs to be in theaters. Still, if it looks cool enough I, much like many of you, will be there to see it.

I could have accepted the wooden acting, the poor dialogue, the short-shrifting of Maul, etc, etc, if Lucas had just given us the damn Clone Wars on the big screen in the prequels. A simple offhand comment in the original film promised so much, and Lucas didn't even try to deliver. Tartakovsky's 2 hours of Clone Wars captured more of the feel of the OT to me, than any of the prequels ever did.
I am very stoked to see this, and it will be good to see Star Wars back on the big screen.

And she did. You'll note Leia's memories are very vague, and more like impressions, than actual memories. Like, say, a latent Jedi might subconciuosly pick up on through the Force.

Other than impressions we get from Leia's responses, is there really any verbal indication from her she knew she was adopted?
Maybe her vague memories are of her adopted mother.
Luke's talking about their real mother, Leia of who she actually remembers?
Maybe a stretch.....

I'm tired of Star Wars. According to the force.net, the plot may center around
And yea, Padme dying at childbirth was just a stupid move..but probably not the stupidest of the prequels..it.goes against ROTJ and the whole "but she can feel her through the Force" is just stupid. Its obvious to anyone watching ROTJ that when Leia said she "died when I was very young" she did not mean within 2 seconds of giving birth...that scene in ROTJ was actually a very nice scene - and dying of a "broken heart" was just a nice big final f you - well maybe the Vader screaming like a baby scene was worse.

I thought there were going to be both a cartoon and live action series - still no word on the latter?
I'm not really excited about it, I've been reading the Zahn Star Wars books, which have been far more enjoyable than the prequels. I actually would like them to do a film based on the KOTOR video games.

As for Leia's mother, how do we know that Bail Organa's wife didn't die young too?
