This Week's The Clone Wars Round Up

Posted By Mike on July 12, 2008

Well, it has been a busy week with coverage of The Clone Wars. Here is an attempt to try to get you up to speed with all of The Clone Wars tidbits and links from around the web.


First, make sure you are caught up with the following TFN links:
"McDonalds Clone Wars Toys"
"The Clone Wars Soundtrack"
"Clone Wars Premiere At Egyptian Theatre" - In case you glanced through the press release, note that the cast of characters for The Clone Wars film adaptation have now been officially listed: (No Ewan or Hayden but a strong cast none the less)

"The voice cast features Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker; Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano; James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi; Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex and the Clone Troopers; Tom Kane as Yoda; Nika Futterman as Asajj Ventress; Ian Abercrombie as Chancellor Palpatine; Anthony Daniels as C-3PO; Christopher Lee as Count Dooku; and Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu."




Our friends at Rebelscum have uncovered the following release dates:

"October 3rd - The Clone Wars series begins on TV!
22 episodes picking up where the movie left off.

November 18th - The Clone Wars movie comes out on DVD, and a new video game is released!"
(TheHDRoom.com speculates here on a possible Blu-Ray release)
