Yeah, and I suppose the old TMNT was "drawed" better, huh?

Are the characters even voiced by the same actors?

Actually when done it will be an hour or less.

Hopefully it will have plenty of Jar Jar Binks scenes.

LOL. The second I see Jar Jar in it is the second I stop watching it.

Yat another reason to hate what Star Wars has become

They better not screw up Chewie in ep 3, or there will be hell to pay!

Why hate it? It hasn't become anything. This is how Lucas wanted. He wanted a second trilogy, and that's what he's doing. He wanted to tell the story of the Clone Wars but couldn't make another movie to do it, so he did a cartoon. And incase you didn't know this is actually the third SW cartoon made.

ironhelix · 06-15-2003, 07:25 AM

I thought this was the fourth...

*cqb101* · 06-15-2003, 07:32 AM

There was Droids and Ewoks. Am I missing one?

ironhelix · 06-15-2003, 07:51 AM

You're probably right about there only being 3 instead of 4. For some reason I was thinking the Star Wars Holiday Special was animated...

we did have it in israel on cheneel 6(the funny part about it in TMNT old cartoon april works at cheneel 6 and in israel the show is on cheneel 6)

Part of the Holiday Special was animated--the cartoon with the first appearance of Boba Fett. Anyway, I like Samurai Jack a lot, and though the characted designs aren't my favorite, the animation as a whole is good. Tartakovsky handles action very well, and I can't think of a better Cartoon Network-related person to do it. The action will most certainly be good, and they're mixing in a couple of elements from the Star Wars comic series, which I believe is where that female dark warrior comes from. I'm a big Star Wars fan myself, so I can't wait personally. I wish that it were twice the length, though, so it would end up being a two-hour movie altogether. I'm sure that there will be a DVD release of all of them together soon after all of them air, though. In any case, they will probably be available for download, (however illegally) very soon following the airings. But take or leave the animation style, we all have our preferences, it will most certainly be good--and definitely to SW fans. I don't expect to be disappointed. Too bad that the movies' actors won't be playing the voices, but there we are. Actually, maybe we'll get Frank Oz at least.

Hssn't become anything?! Its become an endless excuse for technology! True Mr Lucas wanted to do this, but he seems to care more for the tech. end than the story end. The origanal story may be great but the last 2 mnovies have sucked. I sat through ep 2 yesterday when it was on HBO, and it was the most boring thing they've done since Ep 1. Its become all about the visual effects and less about heart. And continuing it through cartoons is just going to contue the insult.
If it weren't for seeing the first 3 movies long ago, these 2 alone woul;d make me hate anything to do with Star Wars, the effects may not have been as technicly inovative by todays standards but aty least I give a damn what happens to the charters

I don't know about you but the artwork lots pretty crappy!

Yep. Another way to totally mortify we who remember the OT from way back in the day. George Lucas has lost the touch I believe.

Yes, the atrocious Droids and the modestly successful Ewoks cartoon. I don't remember Droids so much because I just didn't like it. But at that time I was a kid who loved the Ewoks so I watch the Ewoks cartoon religiously on Saturdays. I haven't seen that cartoon in ages.

~~Leo656~~ · 06-15-2003, 04:38 PM

Man, a lotta people sippin' the Star Wars Haterade around here.

Let's be fair... if someone showed you pictures of I'unno, South Park or Dexter's Lab before it came out, would you think, based on still pictures of the art, that it's some amazing or funny or just plain GOOD show? (Well I honestly never watch Dexter's Lab but a lot of people like it) It's not fair to judge the quality of this cartoon show based on ONE picture of conceptual art. Like I said, look for the article in Toyfare if you want to know more, the story looks quite good and I'm honestly shocked at how much storytelling they're going to cram into these 3-minute animated shorts.

I wish the art was cleaner too but c'mon, at least give it a chance and see it in action before you leak on it. It's still months and months away. Besides, I don't think it would be practical for them to dump tons of money into the project seeing as how it's just a series of short animated clips. I'm sure if they were doing something along the lines of a half-hour cartoon series, or a 60-90 minute animated movie, that they'd have the most expensive and polished animation possible. But they're not, so they won't.

And we get to see lots of Force Powers and lightsabers underwater. That makes me giddy.

And I still don't see the hate on the last two flicks (even though Ja-Ja was annoying as piss). It's funny, I didn't even watch the entire trilogy until 1996 and I have more faith and interest in the new flicks than people who've been fans for 20 odd years. I do agree that there's a bit too much emphasis on the CGI and stuff, but like I've said before, I am a firm believer CGI should be used ONLY when necessary, but, well, you can see from flicks like Matrix that that aint happening. Personally, I'm waiting for Episode III to wrap up the trilogy before I judge all three new movies as a whole. It's fairly obvious I and II are backstory leading up to something bigger.

Oh man... I'm defending Star Wars... I'm such a nerd...

Ghidorah2000 · 06-15-2003, 05:32 PM

Let me clarify:

Original (OT) Trilogy - Good high quality entertainment. I prefer the original cuts over the Special Edition ones though. You could see Lucas' unnecessary over kill with CGI there. God I hate the dance number in Jedi he added.

Prequels and any Prequel relasted stuff - Very disappointing

~~Leo656~~ · 06-15-2003, 05:41 PM

Well, I disagree. I dunno why. I just think people's expectations for the prequels were WAY too high. That can be expected, though, when there's a 20-year buildup for them.

Lucas even said the story and everything for I-III wasn't as strong as the "classic" trilogy, that's why he made those first. It seems like Episodes I and II are mostly the buildup for Episode III more than stand-alone movies, and I for one am fine with it. To each their own I guess.
