Anyone tuning in to a Turner Networks cable channel at 7:58 tonight (Thursday) will
be able to view a two-minute trailer for Lucasfilm's animated Star Wars: The Clone
Wars, which premieres theatrically on August 15. The trailer will air
on the Cartoon Network, CNN, TNT, TBS and Boomerang. In a statement, Lucasfilm VP
Howard Roffman said, "We're incredibly proud of the Clone Wars and eager to
be able to showcase it for the first time in such an exciting way." The movie itself,
which is being distributed by Warner Bros., a corporate sibling of Turner, is intended
to lay the foundation for Lucasfilm's forthcoming animated Star Wars: the Clone
Wars TV series, set to air on Turner's Cartoon Network. A date for the season
debut of the series has not been set.
