UPDATED! STAR WARS ANIMATED: TALES OF THE NEW REPUBLIC Teaser Trailer!!!

Sweet by Bluereader	May 26th, 2007 09:44:00 AM
I've been waiting for this
Cool by OneintenMan	May 26th, 2007 09:44:05 AM
but not as cool as clone wars
Hopefully by Mockingbuddha	May 26th, 2007 09:47:02 AM
The animation is incomplete. Like the overall fell of it.
FUCK THRAWN by chrth	May 26th, 2007 09:47:25 AM
Goddamn EU shit. Bring it on.
I mean by Mockingbuddha	May 26th, 2007 09:48:03 AM
feel of it.
crappy animation, everyone has down's syndrome by c4andmore	May 26th, 2007 09:49:28 AM
I'll still watch it though
Cool concept by Evil Hobbit	May 26th, 2007 09:50:06 AM
But that's some very lame animation. I am realy not excited about it. Feels very bland with bad character animation. No soul and no emotions what so ever in this footage. Come on Lucas, give us a real teaser!
FUCK THRAWN? No Fuck You Buddy - I Can Ban You! by HEADGEEK	May 26th, 2007 09:51:16 AM
Which, of course, makes me more right! He with the power to silence you - is always right, BITCH! -- Just kidding? Have you sent Mori a happy 40th yet?
Ummmm...I don't think its Lucas.... by Grendel745	May 26th, 2007 09:51:36 AM
If you go to the actual YouTube page you can read the following "A 'what if' teaser in the style of a cartoony animated Star Wars show" done by some fans.
Interesting as a curiosity. It'll never work full-on. by Flim_	May 26th, 2007 09:51:48 AM
The animation is really quite bad. What's with the giant-head and arms bullshit? It looks like I made it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW/MORI!!!!!!! by chrth	May 26th, 2007 09:53:50 AM
40?!? You don't look a day over 200. Peace out y'all!
Oh, and happy birthday to the original evil mastermind. by Flim_	May 26th, 2007 09:54:10 AM
40, you say? Have a good one, mate!
i'll do it by LegoKenobi	May 26th, 2007 09:54:16 AM
happy 40th, mori! as someone who turned 40 last week, i can tell ya that it's all right on this side of things.
Oh and cheers Mori! Happy 40 by Evil Hobbit	May 26th, 2007 09:54:40 AM
But it's a fan trailer then? Not the real thing? Sighs in relief for as a fan trailer this is pretty cool stuff.
I think the ? at the end makes it a fake by chrth	May 26th, 2007 09:57:40 AM
That and the weird look Leia gives after stroking R2.
Sheesh, almost forgot... by Grendel745	May 26th, 2007 09:57:42 AM
Happy 40th Mori.
Team America puppets... by Parallax	May 26th, 2007 10:02:14 AM
... is what those characters remind me of. I mean, did the first sabre-fight scene look just like the infamous puppet-fuck sequence, or is it just me?
Hows about... by SweetMonkeyCreek	May 26th, 2007 10:04:51 AM
...some love for John Wayne?! I love these Star Wars as much as the next movie geek, but the Duke would have been 100 today. Come on Harry! What's Rooster Cogburn got to do to get some love around here?!
This is an anthology show, then? by Raymar	May 26th, 2007 10:05:16 AM
Dealing with established EU chracters? I guess that could work. They would have to do a Kotor story though!
Happy Birthday by Epleterte	May 26th, 2007 10:05:37 AM
Now, I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but that looked just fucking stupid. Why bother? Making it, I mean, why bother makin this? Not why bother seeing it, I'll probably see it some time, but yeah... you know what I mean.
Thrawn? Check. Now what about The Nagai and Xizor? by Shermdawg	May 26th, 2007 10:06:37 AM
Oh, and Happy 40th Mori!
Shannara is coming. by Flaggg	May 26th, 2007 10:07:24 AM
Shannara is coming to the big screen.
Looks like shit. by Lucasblows	May 26th, 2007 10:10:28 AM
Lucas Blows.
If they include HK-47 in here, I'll freak out! by Shermdawg	May 26th, 2007 10:10:49 AM
He's hands down the best character from the expanded universe.
wow? by radjac33	May 26th, 2007 10:11:20 AM
Vader looks pretty weak, Fett on the hand nice.
Not real by Terry the geek	May 26th, 2007 10:15:38 AM
Mostlikely a fanfilm...or that is the deduction many have come to.
You cunts by performingmonkey	May 26th, 2007 10:15:45 AM
My one and only wish is that Lucas would make a movie that fucks up the whole of the post-ROTJ EU. I want that because people often look upon it like canon material. Now suck it hard.
Hoppy Burpday, Mori. by Felix Buckman	May 26th, 2007 10:18:23 AM
Two things: (1) John Williams' music touches my very soul; (2) This visual approach is perfect for Star Wars, and I'm actually looking forward to it. No, three things: (3) Samuel L. Jackson Toon spin-off series NOW! Okay, that's it.
Looking pretty cool. by photoboy	May 26th, 2007 10:19:04 AM
Nice to see Bay didn't get his hands on this one to rape the designs and change everything.
cel shading? by jub3i	May 26th, 2007 10:19:05 AM
are you fucking kidding me? the space battles looked pretty damn good but the character animations and related actions sequences looked like shit. i thought cel shading died after viewtiful joe hit its peak... it should've anyway.
Pretty sure this is fan made... by Dr_Zoidberg	May 26th, 2007 10:25:21 AM
Their website has a much higher quality version of the trailer and some of the textures look very, well, amatuerish, as does some of the animation. Still looks great mind, but not something professional (professional = money thrown at it, I'm not saying the guys doing this aren't highly skilled, they clearly are).
McWeeny is 40?! by Judge Dredds Dirty Undies	May 26th, 2007 10:25:38 AM
Jesus were all getting too old for this shit. I'm sad to say that that trailer looks like shit, and im not saying that to be hater. It just looks really badly done.
I thought those were puppets for a second there.. by Spyhunter	May 26th, 2007 10:27:48 AM
Almost looks like it could be Team Alderaan: Galaxy Police. Alderaan! FUCK YEAH!
Flaggg: Isn't it too soon to remake LOTR? by chrth	May 26th, 2007 10:28:29 AM

this has to be fan made...it's CG from 10 years ago by SantiagoAtez	May 26th, 2007 10:32:22 AM
Seriously...this can't be official.
New Republic by Cobbio	May 26th, 2007 10:32:54 AM
Happy 40th, Mori! Thanks for posting the trailer. The show looks interesting, if a bit lightweight, but Grand Admiral Thrawn showing up is a good sign. That guy was a way better villain than Palpatine ever was. He was far smarter, more cultured and layered than any of the Sith. The tactics he used to win space battles were drawn from a far deeper and more sophisticated place than any of Vader's lieutenants possessed. And his overall goal -- to destroy the Jedi by ridding them of the Force by acquiring an organism on a distant planet -- was something other commanders should've thought of long ago. I never read "Outbound Flight," but reading Timothy Zahn's "The Thrawn Trilogy" was like a breath of fresh air. Zahn's accomplished style and dramatic storytelling ability was a kickass upgrade to all things Star wars. I hope he was an advisor for "Tales of the New Republic." We'll see.
You'd think the budget at Lucasfilm would be better by Doc_Strange	May 26th, 2007 10:34:33 AM
If they were in fact making this show. What gives? I'm sure they have ALL the actors from the films mapped into a computer in the ILM archives. Why don't they use the 3D models there to make the show? I mean they already have the character models there so there's a big time saver, it's pretty much just about animating the models and inputting the FX. I just don't see the reason for the oversimplification of something that should be groundbreaking.
This is surely not the real show? by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 10:36:26 AM
It's nowhere near spectacular enough....mind you neither did Clone Wars....ahhh, I'm a longtime fan of Star Wars but I'm coming to the conclusion that it's success has everything to do with John Williams score, Mcquarrie's designs, the fast editing etc and balls all to do with Lucas. Listening to the man speak makes me wish I was in a coma.....
here's a better Star Wars animated trailer by SantiagoAtez	May 26th, 2007 10:38:17 AM
No it's not official, but it's better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =QD9-tFTifY8
what!?!?!? by thegoldencalf	May 26th, 2007 10:38:23 AM
this isn't the clone wars show we're waiting for is it? this looks fake and shit!
Harry, my birthday is in August. by Bronx Cheer	May 26th, 2007 10:39:20 AM
When the day arrives, will you squirt for me, too? By the way, I wonder how many other than pursued_by_bear will think you were serious about threatening to ban chrth? It's nice to see you get a little playful.
This is vile by TheBigDogg	May 26th, 2007 10:41:21 AM
The design is hideous. If you're going stylised, great, but get someone to design it. Don't just vomit it up. Dodgy proportions does not make a style. And the movement? Here's a tip - hire animators. Seriously. I mean, you even use the word 'Animated' as part of the title. I would have thought a natural step would have been to hire animators. There has been better (and better designed) animation on, well, just about everything. Ever. Now tv budgets for animation are tight. I know that. But, jesus, look at it. This is like that first Jabba in the SE of ANH - there are thousands of animation companies crying out to work on a Star Wars project and, yet, when you see the results, you can tell whoever worked on it didn't give a rat's ass about it. Where's the effort? If you worked on this and are reading the talkback, I'm sorry. The comments on this one are going to sting. It may well not have been your fault.
Yeah.... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 10:41:27 AM
...that's my reaction too - looks like it's going to suck balls....thrawn's plan was to rid them of the Force using an "organism"? Christ am I glad I didn't bother my arse reading the Eu novels now! Hahaha....reckon I'm through with Star Wars, everything since Phantom leaves a bad taste in my mouth. :-)
Harry would never ban me! by chrth	May 26th, 2007 10:41:45 AM
Besides the fact that it would turn him into one of the neocon fascists he loathes so much, he always sends Herc or Mori over to do his dirty work ;) PS: Harry, are you back from Eastern Europe? How'd I miss that? Welcome back!
Harry, please read this, anybody from AICN PLEASE by WolfmanNards	May 26th, 2007 10:42:24 AM
I have to say that I am at least AS excited and entertained by most of the stuff you guys post about on this site. But you guys always talk about getting erections, and cumming over certain bits of news. I know its supposed to be "a figure of speech" but I don't think it ever helps state the case you are trying to make. You just come off as lame. "Oh that movie was so great, my dick got really fuckin' hard, and I just started stroking off, RIGHT THERE IN THE THEATER! WHAT AN AWESOME MOVIE! Just ask the lady sitting in front of me whose perm I blew a load into! She was kind of upset, I guess, but she had to realize before she walked into such a masterpiece that there would be cum flying left and right. It's her fault she didn't wear a trashbag to 'Monster House'".
So they liked... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 10:45:32 AM
...monster house? My brother rates it, I thought it was wildly derivative moderately entertaining but that's about it...still the animation compared to this "trailer" looked like it came from the far-flung future.
I dont believe it by Monty 16	May 26th, 2007 10:46:09 AM
Because the animation and camera direction are horrible.The animation is not stylized its just bad....although I did notice in the new star wars that some of the "added" shots were just not composed well. That toon shaded look was old 5 years ago... that cant be real.
If, in fact, it is fan made... by TheBigDogg	May 26th, 2007 10:46:29 AM
I take all that back of course. Why the double standard? Because it takes a hell of a lot more work to put something together without studio resources.
This sure doesn't look legit, though. by Bronx Cheer	May 26th, 2007 10:46:45 AM
I think some very industrious and enterprising fans put this together. It's a good demo reel if it is fake. If it's legit Lucasfilm product, it's weak.
Happy Birthday, Mori! Born the same day as my by CreasyBear	May 26th, 2007 10:47:26 AM
big bro. Hope it's a good one for ya!
Yeah... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 10:47:38 AM
I share this view; great from a fan, crap if it's Lucasfilm.
That looks AWFUL by DeCypher44	May 26th, 2007 10:47:49 AM
I just threw up my Apple Jacks. That looks so frakking terrible. WTH?
It DOES look stiff. They probably should have waited by Datascream	May 26th, 2007 10:48:36 AM
for more scenes to be finished. I honestly hope they'll get the fluidity the animated shorts had. So I'm not gonna make an opinion on it yet...
Happy birthday Moriarty by Darth Thoth	May 26th, 2007 10:49:33 AM
God bless man.
Happy Birthday Mori by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 10:49:44 AM
Looks like this year your main present is a fan-film, don't worry though, I'm sure the little presents will make up for it.;-)
Why the long face? by Christopher3	May 26th, 2007 10:49:50 AM
Looks like CGI Bluth designs.
By the way great job by the fan who put it together :) by Monty 16	May 26th, 2007 10:51:08 AM
;P
Happy Birthday Mori by DeCypher44	May 26th, 2007 10:51:30 AM
And thank God it sounds like this was just fan-made!
If this were fan made... by ingraman	May 26th, 2007 10:53:16 AM
How would you explain this? http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/ bbts/menu.aspx?menu=523&compan y=39
That animation sucks by DARTH VOODOO	May 26th, 2007 10:53:24 AM
What a shitty syle they picked. George Lucas is on a roll.
I hope to God... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 10:55:08 AM
..it is fan-made, otherwise I want the job of going to Lucasfilm and slapping them all shouting, " Wake up! Goddamn it, what do you think youz are doing?!? Get a grip on this! This is your main cash cow!! If the money-milk stops flowing you're all out.of.a.fuck.ing.job! Are you listening to me?!? Put it in the bin and start AGAIN!" That would be a great job to have....;)
This further proves that the best thing about Star Wars by Chishu_Ryu	May 26th, 2007 10:55:50 AM
is the music. Happy B-day, Mori, whoever you are...
damn link system by ingraman	May 26th, 2007 10:56:22 AM
In case you couldn't see my link, Big Bad Toystore has Star Wars figurines that look exactly like the ones in the video. If those are fan made too, then damn that's one hell of a production.
Oh God..... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 10:59:00 AM
"noooooooooooo-oh!" As they say in that Galaxy Far, Far Away",...:-( Let the slapping commence! What the hell were they thinking? Is there a proper show on the way too? Or is this the best they could do? God! What a flaccid cock of a show it looks like being....argghhh
Happy 40th Moriarty by jimmy rabbitte	May 26th, 2007 10:59:29 AM
...it doesn't seem as old as I used to think.
GIVE US THE THRAWN TRILOGY by dumbpeoplesuck	May 26th, 2007 11:00:03 AM
And happy BDay! Lucas needs to just go ahead and film the Zahn Trilogy as the final three and call it a day. I'll NEVER forget how completely blown away I was with those books, and I still enjoy going through them from time to time.
"No soul and no emotions what so ever in this footage." by WhoDis	May 26th, 2007 11:01:11 AM
Well, it is STAR WARS. Why would you expect soul and emotion?
it looks horrible by Mr Bonefish	May 26th, 2007 11:01:47 AM
like some fan did it with his busted mac or something. oh well.
This show officially PWNS... by Rise Above Haters	May 26th, 2007 11:02:59 AM
everyone who posts in or reads this talkback. Nothing you can do to stop it, hater.
Lucas is raping me again by mrtwig48	May 26th, 2007 11:03:08 AM
Can't....resist....must....wat ch. Fucking A. I am going to get all excited and watch this cartoon and in the end it will probably suck.
Re: GlenyD by Cobbio	May 26th, 2007 11:03:50 AM
GlenyD, you're right to be skeptical about Thrawn's "organism" plan. I probably didn't describe it well enough to make it exciting. But rising above this new show's suspect animation, Thrawn is THE reason to want to see it. For all who didn't read Zahn's books, the battles Thrawn engages the Republic in are insanely huge and scary. He utilizes weapons Lucas's movies never would've considered due to brutality and human rights issues, and The Grand Admiral isn't overconfident like Vader and all the Sith's uniformed boys. I don't know how much of a role Thrawn will play on this new show, but it's nice to at least see him in it. I'm generally a Star Wars hater since I firmly believe Lucas ruined the franchise, but Zahn's story was written outside Lucas's influence. It was written with a writer's flair for the dramatic, a plausible, huge-scale buildup, and a more kickass ending than "Return of the Jedi" ever delivered. These are just my thoughts, I realize. But it's cool to see the BEST character Star Wars ever created finally given time onscreen. Hopefully "Tales" didn't ruin it.
I'm definitely by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:04:07 AM
done with Star Wars now; no more encouraging girlfriends who haven't seen it to watch it...it was a freak being any good....from now on I shall sing the praises of Williams and the editor rather than the film..... Aye, I think it's time the Lucas history book was revised to read, "got lucky...then made a cock out of himself".
Story potential is great. Animation... Not so much. by ZeroCorpse	May 26th, 2007 11:05:24 AM
I'd love to see some of the New Republic stories put to film, but this wasn't quite the way I pictured them looking. They're like Playmobil figures! Can't we tighten up the characters to look a little less like a preschooler's toys?
Thrawn.... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:08:30 AM
....sounds ace! I'd like to see that....but not in an overly cartoony way; I'd love to see a darker more adult version of Star Wars with actors who can actually act in it rather than the Rogue's Gallery of chancers who got in the prequels... Haha, true story - I once dissed Robin Gurland as a casting director on Star Wars.com and got my account "frozen in carbonite".:-) Hehe, well somebody had to tell them she was no good. ;-)
Why I think it's fake. by Bronx Cheer	May 26th, 2007 11:11:22 AM
No TM or Copyright logos. Lucasfilm would never omit the critical comma found in "a galaxy far, far away." Heresy!
That looked fuckng awful by Mr Chuff	May 26th, 2007 11:13:03 AM
you KNOW this to be true...
Does anyone remember? by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:13:57 AM
Lucas talking about this show as being "revolutionary" and ushering in "a new era and standard of CGI animation on television"? Was he talking out of his arse or what? It certainly looks that way. I'm paraphrasing of course, but he definitely said it was going to be THE thing in terms of computer animation...looks like they made it on a Commodore Amiga....
Is this a joke? by Pdorwick	May 26th, 2007 11:14:25 AM
I've seen Pre-Vis that were better than this. Ugh.
To bad it isn't real. by Veni Vidi Vici	May 26th, 2007 11:14:27 AM
Thrawn, Mara Jade, this is def a fan made trailer. like others have said, the animation is not even close to what Lucasfilm can dish out.
Ait It Fake News... by THEE Miracleman	May 26th, 2007 11:20:08 AM
wha hoppin'?
It IS official, look at Ingraman's link to the toys by SantiagoAtez	May 26th, 2007 11:21:32 AM
Harry and Ingraman ruined my dad! haha, just kidding, Ingraman, thanks for the confirmation link. (note to others: delete spaces when you copy and paste link). This is horrible. First the prequel trilogy, then crappy animated shorts, and then this. Star Wars kinda blows now. They should have just had Bioware produce a KOTOR mini-series.
Happy Birthday Drew!!!!! by Lance Rock	May 26th, 2007 11:21:38 AM
Oh yeah, and this trailer looks like a video game cut scene--yawwwwwnnnnnn.....
Lego Star Wars had better animation by Canada's King	May 26th, 2007 11:22:49 AM
Why is everybody bouncing around?
Fake by Cobbio	May 26th, 2007 11:24:14 AM
You know what, Veni Vidi Vici? You're right. This is a fan made trailer. The big question mark ("?") at the very end of it says it all. LucasFilm would never do that. Merrick, you might want to think about what you posted.
That HAS TO BE Fake. by bubcus	May 26th, 2007 11:25:13 AM
A question mark at the end is the clincher. I'm not sold on it. Now, albeit I didn't spend a lot of time animating this (I slapped it together in a matter of weeks), here's another little "animation" to sit through. I'll clean it up someday.... http://www.bennettanimation.co m/robert/TESB_002.html (As I recall, AICN leaves a space when posting links, so remove the space when pasting the link).
Oh Good God! by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:25:40 AM
I just checked the toys link; I took the posters word for it but then thought, I'd better check.:-( This IS without a doubt the real McCoy....The pain is almost unbearable...it's like watching someone kill themselves slowly.
Harry by Cobbio	May 26th, 2007 11:26:41 AM
Sorry, Merrick. I meant HARRY might want to think about what he's posted. My bad.
AWFUL animation by jimmy_009	May 26th, 2007 11:28:42 AM
Absolutely terrible character design and animation. I HOPE this if fake, but I fear it's not. That's the worst character design and animation I've seen in a long long time. If this actually came out of Lucasfilm, they need to let some people go. And I'm not just being mean, I'm just stating the truth. That would barely get a C- from an animation student. The environments and ships don't look half bad though.
OF COURSE it's fake by Bryan	May 26th, 2007 11:28:45 AM
I don't like the designs either, and would be disappointed if this was the real animated project we've been waiting for, but it's very ambitious and impressive for a fan made project, WHICH IT CLEARLY IS. I don't think Harry believes it's real, I suspect he is just being sly by putting it out there without explanation, and assumes we are all intelligent enough to see that it is not a real trailer. There are many tell tale signs (not-too-professional designs and animation, the word "animated" in the title, WAY too much attention to nerd details like stupid fucking Thrawn to be the project Lucasfilm actually wants to do, Mace Windu still being alive.) But most importantly they have already announced that the animated show is Clone Wars and released a poster which shows beautifully rendered 3-D versions of the Genddy Tartakovsky character designs. So why would they suddenly pull a U-turn and do a completely different show in a different, clearly not as good style? And in case none of that registers, there is the question mark at the end which shows that the people responsible for the trailer weren't trying to trick anybody either. Even though I don't personally like that style I am very impressed by their work. It must have been fun to make.
It IS Real.... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:29:06 AM
Check the Leia toy! Do it now; yes, you and you, everyone do it, and then cry; cry for your hopes and dreams (relating to Star Wars) as they crumble to dust before you. Waaaahhhh.:-( "Mommy, the bad man George ruuuiiinnneed it".
This can't be real. by mrsinister7381	May 26th, 2007 11:29:54 AM
No way is this official. The music jumps, the animation is crap, the question mark...I've got some huge doubts about this. Whoever made it did a good job on the space battle stuff, but the characters look horrendous, especially Leia.
Holy crap, that looked embarassingly bad. by Harry Weinstein	May 26th, 2007 11:30:12 AM
April Fools Day was well over a month ago. This ain't funny.
I think.... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:32:31 AM
They're doing two shows....and this is the one for kids? Right? Right? Someone please tell me I'm right.:-( Also the toys link...surely it must be real, Leia anyway, the toy even says "star wars animated" on it! :-0
The Hell? Was that Mace Windu? by michaelmas	May 26th, 2007 11:32:55 AM
The cynicism on this talkback is laughably unbearable, I find your lack of faith disturbing......
Cool, But... by CHEWBLACCA	May 26th, 2007 11:33:13 AM
...no way is that a Lucasfilm product. But you can a lot of Nerd Love went into it.
Dude, that's fucking wretched. by FlipTheFrog	May 26th, 2007 11:33:38 AM
Welcome to the new world of LucasFilm's overseas outsourcing.
Re: Bubcus by Cobbio	May 26th, 2007 11:34:44 AM
Nice animation, Bubcus Robert. Liked the kinetic action and the fact bodies and pieces of ships were floating around at the end. That gave it more edge than anything I've ever seen Lucas produce.
" The Cynicism"? by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:36:41 AM
Riiiiigggghhhhtttt....this is naff! I mean from any point of view (even a Sith's) it just sucks...it can't be defended...i've put faaar too much faith and benefit of the doubt in Lucas over the years; not this time though...oh no, those days are gone my friend.
Happy 40th Mori. Man that animation is ungodly by IndustryKiller!	May 26th, 2007 11:37:48 AM
The animation looks like it belongs on weekday afternoons on Nickelodeon right after Blues Clues. Besides the fact that it just plain looks bad, it also doesn't even remotely fit the tone of Star Wars. Looks like Lucas in all his abhorrent stupidity continues to think that Star Wars should be aimed at insulting the intelligence of children.

It's gotta be fake by dgcrawford	May 26th, 2007 11:39:36 AM
There's a big question mark at the end. All I want to see out of a Star Wars animated series is "What if" moments. What if Thrawn and Darth Revan take on Boba Fett and The Exile!!!!!!!!
THIS IS REAL FOOTAGE!!! by SylarTheCylon	May 26th, 2007 11:41:10 AM
If by real we mean "rendered on Imagine 3.0 by a fanboy. Using the latest Amiga Workbench and a 40 megabyte hard-drive. In 1995." Come on AICN, this is embarrassing. Surely you didn't think this was officially Lucasfilm produced material? Come on. And what gave it away the most: no voice acting, only music. Obviously fan made. Sure, it takes talent to do these visuals by yourself, in your house with a humble PC. Then it's commendable. But if it took a team of professionals and Lucas Money, then it's seriously laughable.
Mara Jade and Boba Fett are in it.... by Quake II	May 26th, 2007 11:41:22 AM
So I will watch. Not sure I like the "style" though. The space battles will rock but the character designs are.....odd.
It's sad but... by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:42:23 AM
...I think the Lucasfilm bunch are just putting the "official" Star Wars mark on any old piece of crap production as they think it'll get bought indefinitely...boy, are they in for a nasty end game surprise! "Caravan of Courage" anyone? :-s
Holy... ! by Captain Mal	May 26th, 2007 11:42:39 AM
That looks like ASS! I cannot freakin' believe Lucasfilm would put their name on such an amateurish piece of crap. Are you kidding me? Eh, it's a shame we'll have to wait for George to die before we get a proper DVD release of the OT, which remains the only SW-related product worth having.
Another cum filled article by DigitalDong	May 26th, 2007 11:43:14 AM
Moriety is 40, pretty much a grown up. Harry's not too far behind and has a mouth that'd make a sailor blush. When we going to get a Harry animation of him jizzing on stuff? Would fit the personality.
Thrawn rules, however... by Keg boy	May 26th, 2007 11:43:54 AM
...his character would be castrated by being in a cartoon. No way he'd be the bad ass he was under Zahn.
As for the toys by Bryan	May 26th, 2007 11:44:04 AM
No, those have nothing to do with this trailer. "Animated" in this case means they are made to look like the style of the Clone Wars cartoon, not that they are promoting an actual animated project. And if you look at the toys they are NOT the same designs used in this trailer, they are Clone Wars/Tartakovsky style. And photos of those have been available for months. (And do you see the name "Tales of the New Republic" on there? No.) If you don't believe me then fine, but I'm just trying to save you some stress.
The big giveaway is the by kwisatzhaderach	May 26th, 2007 11:44:30 AM
fact that the official show is called THE CLONE WARS.
If this is on the level, I'm totally in. by uss cygnus	May 26th, 2007 11:46:11 AM
ADVANCE the story. No more prequel garbage. MOVE THE STORY FORWARD. If this is on the level, sanctioned by Luca$film, and to be considered canon, I'm in for the full ride. It's about time.
Cool! by GlenyD	May 26th, 2007 11:46:20 AM

And now I will really out-nerd you with my evidence by Bryan	May 26th, 2007 11:49:57 AM
On starwars.com as of yesterday they had an ad for a "special surprise" which would appear on Sunday at 11:30. The ad was illustrated by a Clone Wars style CGI Yoda. So I assume that will be when a real trailer for the real animated series will appear. Today the site is completely redesigned and I can't find that teaser anymore, but there's also no mention of "Tales From the New Republic coming soon?" Just Robot Chicken, Clone Wars poster and a fan film contest (which I'm sure this is already entered in).
NEW REPUBLIC? by Kanchi	May 26th, 2007 11:51:34 AM
Obviously its fake, the quality leaves so much to be desired. And George Lucas wouldn't allow it. It would have to have the same quality as Clone Wars. Plus, the New Repulic and still, some scenes are from the Old Republic and some from the Emprie, yeah, its fake allright.

This looks to be based off of the Gentle giant "Animated" series of figures they've been putting out. I wonder if it's them just doing a one off for fun for the celebration.
not bad but not so good by shogunshin	May 26th, 2007 12:11:52 PM
it is a pleasant surprise to see han, luke and boba up in there. BUT the animation is way stiff. i just watched STORM HAWKS on cartoon network last night, and the animation was much better! and storm hawks is over 1 year old. lucas outsourced this animation to sinapore and china, and it shows. lucas, get the show done by american animators, who know what they are doing, and fix this up before its release!!!

Not to mention... by CatVutt	May 26th, 2007 12:32:34 PM
The section of the X-Wings sweeping over the AT-AT is a direct swipe of the animatics done for 'Han Solo's Revenge'.
The AT-AT explosion looks like dogshit by darrenspool	May 26th, 2007 12:33:28 PM
It does look okay for cel-shaded animation, not CGI. Easy to churn out a show for kids. But there are some fairly good tracking shots that suggest it's authentic.
I'll eat my hat if that's the real deal.... by TheAllSeeingEye	May 26th, 2007 12:36:37 PM
There is no way on Gods green earth that a studio with the kinda money and talent that Lucas has at his disposal would churn that out. I'm not dissing it; i'm just saying that its certainly below acceptable standards for TV broadcast. Looks like, with Leia at least, they've used the SW:Anime toys for their models. But there are several things that seem to consider. 1.Why is Darth Vader in New Republic story? 2.Why is Thrawn in it? I seem to recall Lucas saying that the new books etc weren't canon; it's his sandbox and he'll keep it that way.
For a fan creation, it's fantastic... by MechaTruffautMk2	May 26th, 2007 12:37:16 PM
...but if it's real, we're going to have to see some serious storytelling power to put up with that stylization. As someone said above, awkwardly-angled faces do not a style make. Definately forgivable if it was just made by some devoted fans. I really doubt it's real, though. Where's the Lucasfilm logo or any other Lucas propaganda? No mention of Lucas? Obviously the fans making the film don't want to get sued or shut down. Then there's the fan-based focus on Boba Fett, shots of Thrawn and Mara Jade that only hardcore Star Wars nerds would care about (and who generally have not been pandered to by the official Star Wars machine), and of course the COMING SOON...? at the end. Looks like Harry jumped the gun on this one.

Why Does Star Wars Have to be 'Kiddied'? by topaz4206	May 26th, 2007 12:47:40 PM

That looks like CRAP by Ninja_Master	May 26th, 2007 12:54:57 PM
That might look acceptable for a Star Wars Lego commercial, but as an actual series, made by people who specialize in CG, it's looks like garbage. I've seen animated fan toons that look far better than that. I've seen cut scenes in Sega CD games that looked better than that. Why make something look so bad? I'm not talking style, I can understand it's stylized (TMNT), but this looks like half ass CG done on a 50MHZ Packard Bell. Maybe this is fake?

it's a fan film, a "what if" trailer. However, I am dissapointed that it is not legit. Yes the character animations are a little stiff but with a start date estimated at next year that would have left alot of room for fine touching to be done. As far as a fan made piece goes this is by far some great animation and I hope these guys keep up the good work!!!

...Leia's boobies look huge !
I think you guys are being a tad overly critical.... by RevSick	May 26th, 2007 01:48:43 PM
...having done animation before it's extreamly fucking hard and monotonous, especially if you have time constraints, i.e. a day job. I think these guys did a good job with the time and resources, of course it's rough it's a fan film, but I think it looks a whole lot better than most of the fan films I've seen. Now if it turns out to be a LF viral trick and it is legit then we can talk, but as I said before I think that a year or so of fine tuning on the character animations and adding some good mo-cap you'll have some top notch work.
No way, this looks lame.. by Der-Rabe	May 26th, 2007 01:48:49 PM
It should look like Starcraft II cinematic trailer which kicks ass...not like this. Hope this is a joke.
It doesn't look very good. by Cotton McKnight	May 26th, 2007 01:51:11 PM

...geared to 30 year old geeks you best toss those desires aside cause it ain't happenin. I tossed that aside after episode 1, I saw where it was going and accepted that it wasn't going to be what I'd hopped for with the course of Star Wars. This does look well done and despite a few drawbacks in the character animations everything looks good and matches the style of the gentle giant animated maquettes.

so here's my question- will this be the "official" story of what happens after star wars? I got to tell you, I never gave a damn about the EU stuff because it wasnt the official story. As far as I was concerned, it was no better than fanboy fiction.
Of course it's a fake by jackalcack	May 26th, 2007 01:59:06 PM
Why would there be recreations of scenes from the original movies, plus EU stuff, plus prequel stuff, yet it's called Knights of the Old Republic?! That doesn't make sense at all. Plus, as everyone else has pointed out, the animation is utter toilet.
okay this IS a fan film? by Cotton McKnight	May 26th, 2007 02:01:31 PM
well then like I said, fuck it. I don't pay attention to anything that isnt part of the official storyline.

Yes Cotton.... by RevSick	May 26th, 2007 02:07:16 PM
This is a fan film, hence why I feel people are beeing to overtly critical of the animation. This isn't some pro from dover animation team from ILM this is probably one or two dudes fucking around with lightwave which I say right fucking on guys that looks tight. As far as canon goes, I think the EU has some interesting stories I don't follow it too closely just because of the shear volume of stuff that's out there but I've read some stuff that's good and some stuff that sucks just like anything else it's worth checking out some of the stuff like the Zawn stuff and Kevin J. Anderson's stuff has been pretty good as well. One guy who's stuff has been good has been the guy from Bioware who wrote the KOTOR book Darth Bane. Just a few suggestions.
Sorry, meant to say tales from New Republic by jackalcack	May 26th, 2007 02:07:29 PM
Still doesn't make sense to show anything from OT or Prequels if that's the theme of this series. I'm quite sure it is fake anyway. There seems to be an abundance of fake scoops showing up on this site recently. C'mon Hazza, sort it out!

Thanks, RevSick.. by Cotton McKnight	May 26th, 2007 02:17:00 PM
for clearing that up. As a fanfilm, its actually really good. If it was official, then not so much. Regardless, I hope this demonstrates that I don't just eat up everything star wars- I DO have at least a little bit of objectivity. When I thought this was official, I was critical. Of course I mention this because I am known as a huge prequel apologist, so there you go. Well anyway, it really would be cool to have a "new republic" animated series. I really hope it happens, and I hope they integrate the best EU ideas into an official storyline.

The thing is.... by RevSick	May 26th, 2007 02:29:50 PM
...even if this turned out to be a viral thing and it was official, everything I've heard about the animated series is 2008 so it's still at least six months to a year off and there's alot of tightening up that can be done in that time. Besides it's about the story not necissarily the quality of the animation, hell people loved the Marvel animations stuff (Ultimate Avengers 1 & 2, Iron Man) and really the only one that had half way decent animation was the first one and even that was just a hair better than your average Saturday Morning fare but it had a good story and good voice acting, that's what makes animation. Besides I have trouble believing that with the insane popularity of some of the garbage on Adult Swim that anyone can talk shit on the quality of this.
Hell... by RevSick	May 26th, 2007 02:31:28 PM

Doubt Lucas would simply Rehash Expanded Universe stuff by George Newman	May 26th, 2007 03:25:09 PM
What makes me suspicious of the authenticity of this thing is the thought that with the cartoon they would just retread all the expanded universe stuff. I can't imagine Lucas would just reproduce the novels and comics in animated series form. That would be a lot of authors to pay off, right?

wrong title by Bouncy X	May 26th, 2007 03:42:12 PM

This looks "cutting edge".... by OBSD	May 26th, 2007 03:47:22 PM
for 1987! Ha! What a piece of garbage. To go from Clone Wars to this piece of rancid dogshit is exactly the direction I'd expect from Lucas. Oh, and Happy Birthday, Mori!
Hmmm by tie3456	May 26th, 2007 03:52:20 PM
I'm kinda torn about the authenticity of this. On one hand, to fake this would have taken loads of time and resources, because while it's a bit campy in parts it's still very good. On the other hand, if it's real, I'm a bit confused. Tales of the New Republic implies that these stories will take place after Return of the Jedi. Yet, I saw plenty of characters in that trailer that are from the PT era. Doesn't make sense.
EU rocks by SlickyVonBoner	May 26th, 2007 03:55:10 PM
Shadows of the Empire, Thrawn Trilogy. Dark Empire. Bounty Hunter wars. Crimson Empire Rogue Squadron. Dark Forces. THESE are the stories that need to be put to the screen. Any of these stories are better than the prequels combined.

There is nothing about this that looked the slightest bit legitimate. What ARE you arguing about? It's not even presented in a way to TRY to fool anybody. It's clearly a fan film trailer, just like the trailer for 'Revelations' or any other number of fan films that were ONLY trailers. Are you people fucking retarded?
LEGO Star Wars looks better than this by Monkey_King	May 26th, 2007 04:12:35 PM

ALMOST as lifelike as the "Team America" puppets by Mullah Omar	May 26th, 2007 04:15:06 PM
In other words, that animation looked shitty. Which is astonishing, since it's not like Lucas needs to run this on a shoestring budget. You'd figure that he could farm out new "Star Wars" films forever and keep turning profits. Hell, people paid to see the prequels.

Lucasfilm would not release such an unfinished piece of work, its a fact. The first shot of the Clonetroopers getting out of the ship is proof enough that it is fan work. that is all, I'm off to the pub to get drunk/laid.

It's fake because... by jorson2	May 26th, 2007 05:11:17 PM
The only animated projects in the works take place during the Clone Wars, NOT in the time of the New Republic, which contrary to the trailer's indications wouldn't feature Vader anyway because by the time the new Republic is established, VADER IS DEAD! Whoever made this obviously doesn't know STAR WARS beyond its imagery. There are just a ton of things giving it away, like the inclusion of Mustafar as a war zone (which it wasn't in Episode III, only the place the Federation leaders hid out) and the question mark after "Tales of the NEW REPUBLIC" at the end. How anyone could have thought this was Lucasfilm sanctioned to begin with is just beyond me, especially if they're any fan of STAR WARS.
Oh, yeah, one more thing... by jorson2	May 26th, 2007 05:18:09 PM
Yoda is nowhere to be found in this trailer (strange since Vader only outlives Yoda by a few days and he's in there). He will be in the REAL series, however, and the animation style used for him looks nothing like the style in this trailer. I know because the OFFICIAL Star Wars magazine published a picture of the newest CG-cartoon Yoda.
no way it's official by bamboogrove	May 26th, 2007 05:36:40 PM
Thrawn and Mara Jade won't be in the TV shows, ever. Deal with it.
I'll give it credit if it's fan made by kafka07	May 26th, 2007 05:36:42 PM

GARBAGE - OUTSOURCED ANIMATION VERY OBVIOUS by BRUTICUS	May 26th, 2007 05:46:56 PM
WOW! That looks like crap. Animation snapping, the modelling is TERRIBLE! Characters all look bizarre. Looks worse than student animation. Looks like he pulled some kids out of a hut in Singapore and threw them in front of a computer and thought they could be modelers / animators. Lucas obviously cares nothing about the quality of his Star Wars franchise anymore. What a CHEAPO!

How can you believe that Lucas Animation would put that out? Their pre-production animation made by high school students who work at the studio during the summer is of better quality.

Of course it isn't real. by Darth_Gonz	May 26th, 2007 06:25:40 PM
Lucas himself has said that the new animated series takes place between Episodes II and III, and focuses less on the main characters of the trilogy, and more on backstores regarding clone troopers and unknown Jedis. This faux looking trailer takes place in the Expanded Universe-era SW. Hence, I call shenanigans.
This is ME talking about WHY THIS IS FAKE... by Brians Life	May 26th, 2007 06:33:17 PM
Lucas has consistently stated that the new animated series will take place between II and III and will involve the Clone Wars...does any of this look that way!?!? Han Solo was freakin' in it....also, this doesn't look ANYTHING like the toys that are coming out OR the official LucasFilm "teamshot" of the upcoming series. Those that are saying it will "rule" and "fuck all the haters"...get a fuckin' clue. I've gotta immediately assume you're all 14. Peace

BWA-HA-HA-HA!!! So fan made my mama could tell!!! by Negative Man	May 26th, 2007 07:00:26 PM
Leave this fan made stuff on YouTube unless you're promoting it as fan made and just want to share. This was SO AMAZINGLY not an official Lucas product I feel a little embarrassed for everyone who thought it was. A) Lucas would never allow such a poorly animated 'test' teaser to slip out. The quality isn't even near Star Wars Lego quality. B) The New Republic is formed after SW:ROTJ, so why would purple saber wielding Mace Windu be around? C) No audio or special effects audio. These new SW related trailers always have a Jedi/main character V.O. to accent whatever desperate moment they are in. D) It was confirmed long ago that the animated series is set between SW:ROTS and SW:ANH. E) Though this fan put a lot of work in this and I applaud him/her/them for their endeavor, it smacks of fan made ameteur quality. Yeah, this point is a lot like point 'A'...shut it! This really was a total waste of time...um...even though I had nothing to do anyway. But if I did? Whoa momma! I'm sure it would have been something kinda awesome...
Fake as shit by Evil_Imp	May 26th, 2007 07:10:50 PM
The new ANIMATED series is called " the Clone Wars " not " Tales of the Republic " , which takes place during .....wait for it................THE CLONE WARS!. The live action series takes place between ROTS and ANH . there is no series slated to take place AFTER ROTJ. AICN is pretty lame for lapping up every peice of fanmade crap thrown at them and they are the most gullible bunch of Fanbots i have ever seen. try having some standards will ya. We now return you to our regularly svheduled Lucas bashing. LOL. SUCKERS

This is someone who has worked fuckin hard and tried their best to make something of a cool concept. Yes your entitled to your views, but some fucking positive feedback would be nice, its just always so damn negative with you cunts. This is a nice piece of work, a real work in progress of course. But the thought of seeing Luke and the gang back...well thats what we want, its certainly something i'd like to see and this guy has took a shot at doing it. Where is your attempts? Nowhere, you sit and hide behind that fuckin keyboard moaning about other peoples work day in and day out....get out there and try it yourself then we'll talk, fuckin lazy arses. So, if you cant tell I thought this looked cool, could be good fun and Im sure if the powers that be were to get involved we'd have a nice series on our hands. Good going and keep up the good work if your reading.

Sheesh people look at the thing for one. Secondly, it's posted by an account that lists the Tales of the New Republic site. A whois search turns up that it was registered by or through Tucows. If Lucas was really doing this, the site would be under LucasOnline and the conctact would be Lucas Films. It's not real. It looks like crap. It isn't news. What a crock.

How cool would this series be in the old school animation format? Gah!
This trailer finally... by TheGreenStyle	May 26th, 2007 11:50:54 PM
convinced me that Star Wars set after ROTJ could work. and helped reinforce what I already knew: if Lucasfilm is so gung-ho about showing us Star Wars cartoons, then STOP FUCKING AROUND WITH THE CLONE WARS! Seriously, it was kinda fun between eps 2 and 3, but then 3 came out and the clone wars are over and Palpatine rules. That party's over man.

This is clearly fan-made, well done though it may be.

Thrawn and EU crap by The_Deathticle	May 27th, 2007 05:43:20 AM
Extended Universe crap is terrible. Thrawn was able to plan his war strategies based on his studies of the ARTWORK of a given culture. C'mon! Silly. And people walking around with ysalamiri harnesses on to be protected from Jedi...weak. Timothy Zahn turned Star Wars into Star Trek. Zahn made it all about the technology. Hell, the Star Wars Christmas special feels more like real Star Wars than the Extended Universe junk. Just give some characters some unpronounceable names with plenty of apostrophes between consonants, and title the thing "Star Wars: The B'Naor Contingency" and you're good to go. Fuckin' Zahn.....
re:The_Deathticle by Rendell	May 27th, 2007 06:24:14 AM
Nope, sorry, you're on your own there! While I don't go for everything in the EU, Zahn's work kickstarted the fanbase all over again and the thirst for more Star Wars stories in general. The Thrawn character was excellent as well as Mara jade and Talon Karde, worty additions to the SW universe in their own right. Zahn's books also felt more mature, adult stories... like ESB was. This was exactly what the fans wanted.

SantiagoAtez... by Jedibobster	May 27th, 2007 08:56:59 AM
Yeah, that doesn't mean that this thing is Official (it isn't) it just means that he/she/they used those figures and that style as their inspiration. So people, please stop. It IS NOT official, however it IS a worthy bit of animated fun from some fans. Rather than dissing it anymore than already done, how about some reccomendations for other good non-official Star Wars out there on the 'net. Star Wars is 30! Join in the fun or shut up and go else where.
Jedibobster... by SantiagoAtez	May 27th, 2007 09:12:20 AM
Well, I still think it's the official CG show. I just think the animation (especially the space scenes) is too advanced for home-brewed project that would have had to be started AFTER pictures of those OT cartoon figures were released. We'll just have to wait and see. Bottom line is that I think it's too advanced for home-brew (created after toy pics released) and downright horrible for Lucasfilm's resources.

Not as well developed as "Clone Wars" by Christopher_atUC	May 27th, 2007 09:53:00 AM
For a studio production, the character designs look awkward and underdeveloped. The scene composition and shots don't look bad, but the character animation looks stilted, robotic, and inexpressive. I sincerely hope this isn't from the studio. The character designs and animation in the "Clone Wars" set a high standard. This trailer looks like a cheap reproduction of Clone Wars by a much less talented creative pool. The 3D commercials and cut-scenes for the Star Wars Lego game series look more interesting than this trailer. However, if this is a fan-film (which would lack big studio money and big studio production crew) then this trailer is brilliant.

I've got to say, I've been sort of dreading these TV series, the live action one in particular. However, the official Lucasfilm trailer for Clone Wars looks pretty good, actually. Still, I think it would be more fun to have a series set during the time of the OT, even if it didn't focus on the main characters of that trilogy. I like that era better than the prequel era. And frankly, if I see ONE MORE goddam double bladed lightsaber I'm gonna hemhorrage. Has there ever been any confirmation on the time period of the the live action series?
cool trailer... by Darth Thoth	May 27th, 2007 03:06:38 PM
i just can't get over how they dropped the ball on the prequels. Unreal. Why relegate the Clone Wars to cartoon spin offs? The Prequels had tons of reasons to succeed. Instead they rank right next to the Matrix sequels as blown opportunities. Sad. That said, I can't wait to see this new animated series. Looks cool.

You need to update the article with the new link to starwars.com.
So obviously... by Harry Weinstein	May 27th, 2007 07:31:51 PM
the idea was that the POS we were shown at first would make the real deal look good when we saw it a couple of days later. And it worked - by those standards it looks pretty good. By those standards.
Cant they just make them look normal and not so goofy? by Bong	May 27th, 2007 09:13:15 PM
For once..just make these characters look "normal" with correctly proportioned arms, legs, heads, etc

If it's fanmade, what the fuck is the point of posting it? If it's not fan made, it's so horribly, horribly done what the fuck is the point of posting it?

This Shouldn't be FrontAndCenter, THIRD from the top by George Newman	May 28th, 2007 01:10:02 AM
This isn't news worthy. Switch the SW trailers in the columns or something, but the headline is old, and you still make it out to possibly be legit.
The Official One looks Cool by Batou	May 28th, 2007 04:45:16 AM
The official one on Starwars.com looks pretty awesome. I was worried any further work they did animated wise would be like that pile of low grade shit the other Clone Wars cartoon was.

I've seen the clips of the cgi Clone Wars and I beg that one of you many Yanks over there in Clafornia [I can't get there right now...stuck in UK] please put a stop to Lucas and end his life now.

but the real trailer is over at http://www.starwars.com/video/ view/000478.html and it rocks.
"I have a bad feeling about this." by cameron1975willi	May 28th, 2007 01:59:43 PM
I think it is real. It is just what I'd expect Lucas to produce these days. I mean, the man thought Greedo shooting first was a good idea.
ITS NOT REAL DAMNIT!! by Lewster3000	May 28th, 2007 02:18:40 PM

Um.... I just read back through some of the talkback and I'm pretty sure no one has mentioned it.
Why do they always use Republic in the title? by Orionsangels	May 28th, 2007 07:57:30 PM
Any time a fan makes a SW clip or whatever. It has republic in the title to fool us. Lucas never uses the world Republic in the title. never will.
"severe mental illnesses" by jorson2	May 28th, 2007 10:17:31 PM
I hope that's what they stick to -- "severe mental illnesses." I'm not one to ignorantly discount the existence of depression and mental illnesses and the need for such diagnoses and treatment, but I'm not certain that psychology or psychiatry does the average, mildly depressed person much good -- this having been one and been through several such practitioners. Based on my own experience, I'm almost inclined to side with Tom Cruise in that I'm suspicious of psychiatry myself, but here it states "severe mental illness" and I know that there are people who need certain psychatric medications not just to improve quality of life but simply to keep them from harming each other and themselves.

Is there something you'd like to share with the TB son? Do you have a "thing" for elegant military genius' in White uniforms? its the boots isn't it...
Whose Pet Project Was This? by BeyondStatic	May 29th, 2007 08:44:36 AM
It makes a nice animatic, or perhaps an indie side project, but there is no way this is official. Just no way. Lucas has higher standards than that... right?

Things need better Speed!!! by Shaun1138	May 29th, 2007 11:28:55 AM
The one thing about low end CG animated stuff like this is the speed. Things tend to move slower. I hope the end product has the ships and characters moving faster!! Good Luck to Lucas, I hope Indy 4 is good unlike the
Letdown by Cobbio	May 29th, 2007 02:58:00 PM
I just checked out the real "Clone Wars" trailer (the tiny url one someone posted above), and I must say I'm FUCKING disappointed. That shit was weak. Bloodless. Great animation, but nothing else. Had George Lucas's bad ideas written all over it. Give me poorly animated Grand Admiral Thrawn any day of the week over the "real Clone Wars". My god this franchise is dead to me. Barf!
Cobbio by DarthDooku	May 29th, 2007 05:24:52 PM
Well, I'm glad I wasn't let down by the trailer, and I was in the first group to see it at CIV. Sorry to hear you feel like judging the entire work based on a few minutes of footage....
