Hey, This Star Wars: The Clone Wars Trailer Look Familiar

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on May 9, 2008

Our most dedicated readers will remember that not too long ago, we posted a leaked version of the trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. That version, which went live almost exactly one month ago, was a huge hit — at least, a lot of people watched it. We can only hope to see the same results with this official version, despite the fact that it is the exact same trailer.

Though this trailer is a much higher quality version, that still doesn’t change my opinion of it.The animation looks cool, but I am still not sure about the whole “relive the Clone Wars era” storyline. I get the feeling, based on the comments we’ve seen, that fans would much rather see George Lucas tackle the period that takes place after Episode VI, the Luke Skywalker era. Am I right?

Alas, despite what we may want, this is what we are getting. And it will be in theaters on August 15th. Now it is time to hear your thoughts in the Sound Off section below. As well, I have included the recently released teaser poster for your viewing pleasure.

Sound Off: What do you think of this trailer the second time around?

Looks like a pretty good take on the in-between parts of star wars. Animated sequels to Episode VI wouldn't be great, and the Star Wars universe is so large now that there must a thousand film's worth of material to do anyway.

I want to get right into the storyline between Sith and A New Hope. Come on, we gotta see Tarkin squashing people with his Star Destroyer. I don't really care about what happens post-VI. The plot of this movie confuses me since it takes place in between the prequels. It almost seems like they're redoing ATOC. Lets get to the good stuff with Darth Vader already.

First let me agree that I sure would like to see Speilberg direct the next Star Wars film and have it take place after Return of the Jedi. !!!!!!
(I want that!)

I watched the trailer today with SPEED RACER and I have to say I wasn't happy.

I'm a little bummed that Clone Wars is the focus of this film. The first Star Wars movie was about a hero that saved the day. All this film dwells on is robots killing clones and the jedi in the background looking for (of all things Jabba the huts son). How fricken lame is that?

Come on Lucas get off the war mongering.

well im glad to see anything star wars, i do like one thing...A TWI'LIK GIRL JEDI! It is not what I thought they would put out about the whole clone wars, so I agree with other fans that we would like to see the aftermath of VI. but who knows, that what might be next after this. And who is jabba's son anyways?! lol well anywho hope to see it!

Looks like a computer game and not like Star Wars. I don't want it. :-I

david

manniac is right this looks like a long video game that you cant play

Does anyone know how the new 3d film/TV series fits in with the 2d clone wars series? The ending of that series set up the beginning of Sith. Is the new series going to rewrite the whole story inbetween Episodes II and III? The last story about anakin in the 2d series was regrettable, so maybe that series should be ignored altogether. Everyone wants to see what happens between episodes III and IV, that is the least explored era but very important to set up the three original films.

I loved the animated Clone Wars thing they ran on Cartoon Network. It was nice and stylized but yet captured the feel of Star Wars. And it was serialized which is a great way to tell a Star Wars story. It absolutely positively did not need to be CGIed into a theatrical release. And I agree. I want the story arc between "New Hope" and "Empire". I want to know why Obi Wan aged so much in like 18-19 years???? Dude! Tattooine was rough on him. Or better yet after "Jedi" with Luke and Han because really, we know the begining, middle and end of the Anakin and Obi Wan's stories.
