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!
