Two Star Wars TV series will follow the latest movie in the hit film franchise, director George Lucas has said.

Animated show Clone Wars, currently broadcast as three-minute episodes, will become "a 3D animated" series of 30-minute shows, he said.

It would be followed by a live-action series featuring characters from the six Star Wars movies, he added.

"We're probably not going to start that for about a year," he told a Star Wars convention in Indianapolis.

The latest Star Wars film, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, is released in most countries on 19 May.

The Clone Wars "micro-series" has had 25 three-minute episodes on Cartoon Network, taking the story up to Revenge of the Sith.

Mr Lucas told the Celebration III convention the live action TV series would be similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark spin-off The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

"Like on The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, we want to write all the stories for the entire first season all at once," he said.

I hope that Lucas made a mistake and he really intended to say: "would be almost entirely unlike".
 
I never saw any of the Clone Wars eps on CN until I tivoed the mass of them last night (cuz I never knew when they wer on).

Guess what? They totally rock! These things are betten than the first 2 episodes combined! And I've only seen an hour of them so far!

I'm guessing that someone besides Lucas wrote them, which is why they don't suck.

If I'm not mistaken, they were all conceived of and animated by Genndy Tartakovsky, who is perhaps most famous as being the creator of "Dexter's Laboratory."
 
I think I'm going to throw up.

How much money is enough Georgie? cripes

I agree. I liked Clone Wars.

Some of the stories didn't seem to go together all that well, but on the whole, it was a well-done series.

Two gripes: One, it ends just as things are getting good. Presumably, it ends where Episode III picks up.

Two, Yoda looks like the Grinch!
 
It ends EXACTLY where episode 3 begins.

Most effective commercial for a movie I've ever seen. Especially since I think the 3 hour commercial will be more entertaining than ep 3.

Every 5 minutes I was rewinding a scene to watch it again: it was that cool. Possibly the most evocative scene in the Clone Wars was Anikin seeing the cave paintings come to life, and show him a vision of things to come. Just incredible.


Compare Yoda to the Grinch, you will not!
