"Star Wars: Clone Wars

The Emmy Award-winning and critically acclaimed Star Wars: Clone Wars vol. 1 micro-series is coming to DVD on March 22nd, 2005. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky with Art Direction by Paul Rudish, the Clone Wars series is a fresh, stylized take on Star Wars that remains true to the spirit of the saga.

The THX-Certified disc, from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, will feature all twenty episodes in anamorphic widescreen and Dobly Digital 5.1 audio . Extras, if any, are yet unannounced. Stay tuned for more details soon."

So, I was misled?:-(

Here's the press release for it from TV Shows On DVD.

And this was on Starwars.com

So unfortunately, it looks like the info you got was incorrect.

I thought the DVD looked and sounded great. 10x better then the original DirecTV broadcast.

 

[TravisR]

Yeah, after watching the DVD this afternoon, I was kinda dissapointed by the quality of tonight's episode.

Oh well, I'm sure in November I'll get to see all the new ones on DVD

Since I don't have cartoon network anymore, I picked up the Clone Wars disc today and I must say I am very impressed. Really creative and well made! It seemed to have more charm and life than the prequels it follows! I certainly enjoyed it more than them at least. I really like the way the action just piles on. Very exciting! Video quality was good to me. The sound, while clear and free of any fan-like qualities (whatever that meant) was more than adequate if lacking on LFE.

However, I wish they had encompassed the Republic Commando into the story instead of the ArchSoldier or w/e they are called.

went to CC for the 11.99 deal... Sold out. Just like First Contact SE last week. NO rainchecks... GRRRRR....! ARGHHH!

While I would have like a 5.1 mix, the 2.0 does an adequate job. I've watched this DVD several times and love how it carries the same action and intensity over from EP's 1&2. The new season, to me, is even better. I hope that with the success of the Clone Wars cartoon that maybe they can come up with something to fill the gap between EP's 3 and 4 where they can slow the action and intensity down to what we saw in the OT; otherwise, the OT may be viewed as slow and boring. Also, here's hoping that the Volume II of Clone Wars is released before EPIII on DVD or is included on the DVD.

Well, there's going to be a live-action Star Wars TV show. Early word is that it is set after VI, but that seems like a mistake to me. That New Republic stuff is pretty much garbage. Between III and IV would be a gold mine.

 

[Doug R]

Regardless of what time frame they put it in, I think I'd rather see an adult-swim animated series than a live action series.

 

[STARKILLER1138]

Greg: I never got into the New Republic stuff other than video games like Jedi Outcast. If it really as bad as you say, maybe they can or will disregard it and come up with something new. I'd be open to that live action OR animated.

After Season Two is released I can definitely see some kind of special edition being released down the road. Maybe in connection with the ROTS dvd release. Perhaps both seasons on one disk with a 5.1 track.

 

[David Williams]

I really liked the rumor of bringing Mark Hamill in and doing a Jedi Academy tv show. Heck, I'd pay to see that!

 

[Elijah Sullivan]

Any word on Volume 2? I thought the second season was waaaaay better than the already-excellent first.

 

[Colby]

No news. I'm just guessing, but maybe it'll hit in November along with Revenge of the Sith.
