Announcing the Newly Presented Trailer to Conflicts Among Solar Bodies: The Human Duplicate Campaigns

If you have not already seen the new trailer available on Mr. Lucas's web site, please stop reading this matter here immediately and click this link.

There has been quite a split among fans of the franchise about whether the animated shorts produced by Mr. Tartakovsky and now the computational device-generated successor to that seiries are worthy of the material that preceded them. Rubbish, I say! Star Wars has always been more than the movies. From the Holiday Special to the Ewoks movies to the cartoons dealing with the adventures of Droids and Ewoks, Star Wars has endured--and survived--some surprisingly poorly-made stuff over the years. Compared to those the "Clone Wars" cartoons are solid entertainment.

True, the quality of the episodes varied widely, from action-filled episodes glorying in stylized violence without a single line of dialog, to poorly-written time-wasters that neither moved the plot along nor developed the characters, the show had plenty to both attract and repel viewers. My hope lies in the stronger production these new CGI (Computationally Galvanelectrodized Image) episodes will have.

I, for one, am very much looking forward to them. I carry the original episodes about with my on my portable recored videogrammatophonic playback Pod, and I am counting down the days until I can see the new, doubtless superior episodes to come.

Mr. Lucas, you and I have had our differences in the past, and sharp words have been exchanged (though admittedly in only one direction, as Mr. Lucas has been quite a gentleman about not replying to the dreadful accusations I have made about him in unguarded moments). Nevertheless, I wish you the very best of luck in your undertaking.

Oh, and when you make the live-action series, you had better include Quinlan Vos and Vilmarh Grahrk, or else I will be forced to demand satisfaction.
