Lucas offered a glimpse into the latest creation in his sci-fi universe at the theater-owners convention ShoWest on Thursday, showing a sequence from "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," a computer-animated movie due in theaters August 15. It will be followed by a TV series of the same name, to air on the Cartoon Network and TNT this fall.
I get it now - this movie really just a publicity teaser to get an early viewer base tied in to the TV series before it's debut.
"It's like 'Band of Brothers' in space, with Jedi," Lucas, 63, said. "You can tell lots of stories. They come up all the time."
And this quote makes me think Lucas has just gone nuts - Band of Brothers is one of the best TV series that I've ever watched - it received critical acclaim and won a handful of Emmys and other awards. Does he really think that riding out the previous success of the Star Wars franchise really puts this series/story in the same league as Band of Brothers?
Personally, I'd prefer to get my Star Wars fix with crappy youtube videos.
