Star Wars Animated Slates International Debut

ATLANTA: Star Wars: The Clone Wars will make its international premiere on Cartoon Networks across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America on February 13. 

The series, set between Star Wars: Episode II and Star Wars: Episode III, features the untold stories within the epic battle. Star Wars: The Clone Wars launched in the U.S. on Cartoon Network on October 3. The new Lucasfilm Animation series clocked in as the most-watched series premiere in the network’s history. 

"The Clone Wars is really a continuation of the feature films, and I wanted it to have the same look, feel and depth of the movies," said George Lucas, who serves as executive producer. "I think we’ve succeeded in making it visually very different than anything else on TV. We’ve put a lot of emphasis on the story and character, because we wanted to make a series that everyone could enjoy. Young people can enjoy the characters, the action and the humor; older kids will like the depth of the story and the quality of the animation. For parents and adults, and for people who have been Star Wars fans for a long time, the series is exciting because it’s one-of-a-kind—a dramatic, action-oriented animated series, done in an interesting style."
