Big thanks to Gajo for the heads up!


UPDATE: Friend of TFN, Bryan P., wrote to let us know that the CTV website now has a page dedicated to The Clone Wars series. See it right here! What I found interesting was that they also display a short cast list. (Did they list Mathew Wood correctly? Shouldn't he be referenced from Ep. III? Am I just being too nitpicky? Most likely:)

Matt Lanter as the voice of Anakin;
Ashley Eckstein as the voice of Ahsoka;
Tom Kane (Kim Possible) as the voice of Yoda;
James Arnold Taylor as the voice of Obi-Wan;
Anthony Daniels (Star Wars) as the voice of C3PO;
Matthew Wood (Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace) as the voice of General Grievous.


Thanks Bryan!



UPDATE #2: Friend of TFN, Alex S., sent over the following regarding The Clone Wars on Canadian TV:

"Just wanted to drop off a message stating that the Clone Wars animated series will be premiering October 10th at 4pm PST on the Canadian Space Channel.

Here's the link to the website (http://www.spacecast.com/default.aspx) and the Clone Wars subsection on the Shows section (http://www.spacecast.com/shows_5549.aspx). Still no information as to when it will premiere on CTV."



Thanks Alex!




UPDATE #3: Canada.com has listed the fall schedule for CTV which includes The Clone Wars. See the relevant info below...


"Star Wars: The Clone Wars, an animated series of weekly 30-minute "mini- movies'' based on the summer animation film and featuring the additional adventures of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala. Airs Sundays at 7 p.m. Originates from the U.S. cable channel Cartoon Network."

Sunday:
7 p.m. - Star Wars: The Clone Wars
8 p.m. - The Amazing Race
9 p.m. - Desperate Housewives
10 p.m. - The Listener


We're assuming that since an hour is blocked off, after the 2 episode premier new episodes will follow repeat airings.


Thanks to Craig for the info!




UPDATE #4: To tie together the intial post and the updates above...The first 2 episodes of The Clone Wars in Canada will premiere on Sunday night October 5th at 7pm on CTV. Subsequent weeks will have a repeat airing at 7pm and new episodes at 7:30. Encore airings of TCW will be on SPACE on Friday evenings and it looks like Saturdays as well.
