'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' trailer gets TV debut
Posted at 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, May 7
“Star Wars” fans should tune into to one of five Turner networks on Thursday.
At 7:58 p.m. in all time zones, The world premiere trailer for the animated movie “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” debuts simultaneously on Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN and Boomerang.
The film, of course, was made by George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation. The trailer airing on TV Thursday will be shown in theaters on Friday along with the first poster for the movie, shown here. It also will be posted at the official Star Wars Web site at starwars.com.
Here’s how a TBS press release describes the film “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”:
On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin’s padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains—led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous—are poised to rule the galaxy.
Stakes are high, and the fate of the “Star Wars” universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations that fill “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
The film opens nationwide on August 15, and tells a new story that leads directly into this fall’s premiere of a weekly, animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” TV series on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT.
