STAR WARS: CLONE WARS trailer with SPEED RACER

Will there be midnight showings, street long cues and fanboys getting so very over excited when Star Wars: The Clone Wars opens in August?

We might have a better idea in May when the trailer plays for the first time along with showings of the Wachowski’s Speed Racer.

The news comes from Coming Soon who also give us this brief preview…

The August 15 release will feature such characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin’s padawan learner, Ahsoka. In the film, 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.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is actually a brand new CGI series to be shown on the Cartoon Network beginning in the fall (October we think) but in August, George Lucas will make an obscene amount of money by simply rolling out several episodes back-to-back to make a feature film.

And of course we will more than likely all put down our money to see it. Well as long as the trailer isn’t terrible anyway.

Well, this is a nice move.

First, you have all the kids who would see Speed Racer anyway. They would love the chance to see another CGI film. And this is Star Wars we’re talking about.

Then, there are the hardcore fanboys who’ll want to see the trailer on the big screen just to see it on the big screen.

Smart move, Warners. Smart move.

Why won’t God kill George Lucas? I ask him to do it every single night in my prayers, yet Lucas continues to live.

Every night when I lay down upon my soft, clean linens, I raise my eyes heavenward and say, oh so softly:

“Dear God: If you don’t want to do anything about little children starving to death, the destruction of the environment, or Patrick Swayze’s cancer, then fine … I’m sure you have your reasons why you allow such atrocities, even though it makes no fucking sense.

Oh, pardon my French.

But Goddammit, kill that fat fucking bastard at Skywalker Ranch! And kill that motherfucking Jett Lucas too; he’s the one who invented Jar Jar. It’s not like you have been doing much of anything for a long fucking time except giving us ten billion reasons to reject your ass.

Oops .. that came out wrong. Forgive me, okay?

Ah ha!! Gotcha there! You HAVE TO forgive me. Nice job on that loophole, buddy!

Anyway, like I said, if you can’t take care of those other things right now - even though I don’t really think it should be a big deal to do since you’re the Supreme Being and all - then make sure you kill that Goddamned, childhood-raping sonofabitch Lucas.

Amen.”

And he continues to live. Incredible.
