AICN has provided some more news about an upcoming animated series about the Clone Wars! "The Cartoon Network and Lucas are not in advance talks for the CLONE WARS, they've signed the deal. It's done. Complete... A Sure Thing."

"The format will be serialized shorts to keep with the Star Wars Serial motif. These will not be half hour adventures, but more in the line of short films. These animated shorts will play in-between two regular half hour cartoons in a fixed slot."

"Genndy Tartakovsky (SAMURAI JACK fame) will produce - and the early development designs have evidently been pretty close to SAMURAI JACK in style, thus far, but currently they are in the middle of a whole new set of designs, so my source at the Cartoon Network isn't sure exactly how it'll come out, just the path they've been on thus far."

I am not sure if I am going to like the Clone Wars in a Samurai Jack style, but I will keep an open mind. The good thing is that it seems to be coming! Warm up those VCR's folks!
