Now as some of you may know, I am a big fan of Star Wars. I even liked the second trilogy – well really just the 3rd movie but you get the point. So when I heard about another movie I was a bit confused.
George Lucas has made it clear that he won’t go into the 3 chapters of the Star Wars that follow from the end of Return of the Jedi. There have been numerous books detailing everything that has happened to Han Solo and his wife Leia, Luke Skywalker and his wife Mara Jade, the death of Chewbacca and all of their respective kids. If you haven’t read any of them yet, you really should.
But there is going to be another movie later this year in August. And that will be followed by a television show on Cartoon Network. As you might imagine both are to be animated.
The premise of all of this is that we will be able to get an understanding of the relationships of the major characters inbetween the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the start of the Clone wars. As a bonus we are going to get to also learn of a few new characters too - like the rare almost fabled female Jedi. [Which is fine as long as we never see another Jar-Jar character unless it’s while they are being tortured and then die!]
Now I do find aspects of this to be of interest. There just wasn’t enough on the Clone wars, and there was a lot they could have done. Plus I love the double lightsaber battles. There needed to be more of that. Obviously I was not alone in these thoughts, and we are going to see a lot on this.
But as a bonus I did a bit of searching the net to get a preview for you my readers. And I found it, and something else.
It’s Friday, raining where I am and a bit cold. So on this dreary day for me I instead offer this video clip that made me laugh. I hope you at least chuckle too.
