Star Wars creator George Lucas and Clone Wars director Dave Filoni discuss the new CGI Clone Wars film on the official Star Wars site:How would you describe the look of The Clone Wars?
GL: In The Clone Wars, all of the characters and the environments look almost like they're painted, which gives the movie a very distinctive look. We also drew some influences from manga and anime in our filmmaking style, which have very dramatic lighting and very aggressive framing.
Meanwhile io9 tells us Ten Reasons Why the Clone Wars TV Series is Going to Rule (of course it had to be a top ten list) and Simon Pegg is hoping that his publicly aired views on The Phantom Menace won't stop him being able to get a job writing for the new live action Star Wars TV series, in this interview.
so Lucas finally got to make (or a least approve of) a whole Star Wars movie after his love for CGI... looks fun though
