This is an article I've just seen and thought I'd share from yahoo news:

Star Wars creator George Lucas is struggling to find a home for his spin-off animated series Clone Wars.

The movie mogul admits he's struggling to get a network to pick up the 100-episode series. He has already created 40 episodes.

He tells TV Guide magazine, "People are talking about it, but so far everybody's got the same conundrum: How do we programme it? It doesn't fall into the realm of what animation typically is, which is either adult, kind of off-colour humour or kiddie stuff.

"It has to go on after nine o'clock, and it can't be on a kiddie channel."





I for one think the character style, as previewed in the official magazine, is horrible! The thin, lifeless design reminds me of The Phantom - 2099.

Have to say from what they showed at CE it looks amazing on screen, I quite liked the Clone Wars cartoon they made a few years back but this thing looks about a billion times better. Pictures don't do it justice at all.

Yes I saw the trailer too, and I still wasnt taken by it. But that was still an early trailer and I will give it a chance. But it's still a while yet til we see it anyway.

We'll see...
