"Star Wars" fans will get an unprecedented look at the newest intergalactic adventure on Thursday when the world-premiere trailer for the upcoming CG-animated movie "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" debuts across five Turner networks simultaneously.
At 7:58 p.m. in all U.S. time zones, Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang will debut an action-packed, two-minute preview of the animated adventure from creator George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation.
It marks the first time a theatrical trailer has received a simultaneous, cross-network airing on Turner Networks. The trailer debuts in theaters on Friday, May 9th along with the first poster for the movie included below.
The film opens nationwide on August 15th 2008 and be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
The newest tale of adventure, intrigue and excitement in a galaxy far, far away combines the legendary storytelling of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars Saga with a signature animation style from Lucasfilm Animation.
Following its broadcast debut across the Turner Networks, the trailer for "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" will be available for viewing exclusively at the official site.
On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner, Ahsoka.
Sinister villains - led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous - are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations.
The theatrical release of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" tells an all-new story that leads directly in to this fall's premiere of a weekly, animated "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" television series on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT.

Are we sure about that at this time? I had thought the theater movie is a lead in to the series.
Yeah i agree with Rico.. I heard they took the first four episodes of the series and turned it into the movie.
I can't see them airing on TV only a few weeks after it hits the theater..
They may do a cut down version of the movie for the first episode for TV just in case those who don't see in the movie in the theater aren't totally lost.

Now that you mention it, I'm not quite sure. I initially heard that the first 3 episodes would be released in theaters, then air on TV later.
From Reblescum.com-
"You all know about the Clone Wars animated Series coming out, right? Well it's hitting this September, and will kick off (in the UK at least) with a cinematic release of the first 3 episodes (note this was confirmed by a couple of Star Wars licensees other than Hasbro). The rest of the episodes will then come out on a yet undecided TV channel."
From what I've been reading lately, though, it seems as though the first 3 episodes might just air in theaters INSTEAD of airing on TV, making episode 4 the first TV episode (which is kind of ironic, I guess.. starting the series with episode IV)
That was really great, I am really looking forward to this movie, and the series as well.
x3. This will be the only airing of this. It's more like the first 3 episodes.
I've always heard it was for the theaters first. It's a way to get people excited for the series and watch more when that starts up. Certainly eventually it will air on TV like all movies do, but that will be down the road. I think if they released it in theaters only to have it show up on TV in a couple of months they would kind of upset some people. I actually really like this whole idea. And the movie trailers look amazing!

Anyone think this will top Dark Knight ?

Nope. Everyone I've spoken to is practically foaming at the mouth at how good Dark Knight is supposed to be, and very few of them are regular genre fans. I think Clone Wars won't have the same wide audience appeal that Dark Knight enjoys. Clone Wars has two things going against it:
-It's animated, and most mainstream movie goers in the U.S. seem biased against animated films (unless the Pixar label is attached).
-It's Star Wars, and most non Star Wars fans that I've spoken to seem burned out on the franchise.
Don't get me wrong; I'm looking forward to the film, and think I'll enjoy it. I just don't see many non-geeks checking it out.
Continues to look awesome but it doesn't have the broad enough demographic to top Batman.
Check out some extended footage here. Looking good!

Well frak! I even looked up in this thread too. But I think I scrolled too fast. Sorry about that.
Well it's such a cool clip it deserves to be posted twice :)

Really ? See, that's what I think it has going for it - family appeal. I can see quite a few parents going with their young kids. In some cases, kids will be dragging their dads/moms. Who know's - maybe even Mrs Rico will see this one :D
The one bad thing is the date. August movies tend to not do as well as July. We'll see. Originally, I was not too keen on the movie but after seeing previews - its going to rock.
That extended footage was awesome! I can't wait until to see that movie!
