Latest news is that The Clone Wars series is winding down and may finish up somewhere other than Cartoon Network. Also a comedy series involving Seth Green and others has been shelved so as to not compete with excitement over Episode 7.

No good can possibly come of having Lucas involved in anything with the words "star" or "wars" in the name.
Joss Whedon did a pretty nice job with the Disney-distributed Marvel's The Avengers - might be fun to see him take a crack at this. Nathan | | | | |

Once I got this home and setup, I popped in the Phantom Menace and realized that I do not care to watch this on Blu-Ray, LaserDisk, VHS or Hi8.
