Die "Star Wars"-Saga von George Lucas ist die erfolgreichste Kino-Kultserie schlechthin...
Die "Star Wars"-Trilogie, "Episode IV - Eine Neue Hoffnung" (1977), "Episode V - Das Imperium schlägt zurück" (1980) und "Episode VI - Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter" (1983), erzählt die Geschichte von Luke Skywalker, einem Jungen, der auf einer Farm aufwächst und zum Helden im Kampf gegen das Imperium wird... Bei seinem Bemühen, den grausamen Imperator zu stürzen, wird er auch mit dessen oberstem Diener Darth Vader konfrontiert, den das Geheimnis um das Schicksal von Lukes Vater umgibt...
Die "Star Wars" Prequel-Trilogie - "Episode I - Die dunkle Bedrohung" (1999), "Episode II - Angriff der Klonkrieger" (2002) und "Episode III - Die Rache der Sith" (2005) - geht eine ganze Generation zurück: Erzählt wird die Geschichte des heranwachsenden Anakin Skywalker, dem einst unschuldigen Jungen, der später einmal der gefürchtete Darth Vader sein wird...
"Episode II - Angriff der Klonkrieger" startete am 16. Mai 2002 in den deutschen Kinos...
Die Trickserie "Clone Wars" erzählt was zwischen II und III passiert...
Mit "Episode III - Die Rache der Sith" startete am 19. Mai 2005 der letzte Teil der Prequel-Trilogie weltweit in den Kinos...
Auch nach "Episode III" müssen die Fans nicht auf "Star Wars" verzichten:
Am 14. August 2008 startete "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (3D) in den deutschen Kinos... Und voraussichtlich 2010 soll eine "Star Wars" Live-Action-Serie im TV laufen...
Daneben wird auch an weiteren animierten "Star Wars"-Filmen gearbeitet...
Und weitere "Ableger" - auch im Kinoformat - sind auf lange Sicht mehr als wahrscheinlich... Nicht zu vergessen: Die "Star Wars"-Filme sollen in naher Zukunft im 3D-Format über die grossen Leinwände flimmern... :-)

Via CS! kommt die offizielle Ankündigung der Blu-ray...
Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox officially announced today that all six live-action Star Wars films will arrive on the Blu-Ray format in Fall 2011 as a commemorative box set.
The news, part of this week's Celebration V festivities, promises "the highest possible picture and audio presentation, along with extensive special features - including documentaries, vintage behind-the-scenes moments, interviews, retrospectives and never-before-seen footage from the Lucasfilm archives."
"Blu-ray is the absolute best way to experience Star Wars at home - in pristine high definition," said George Lucas of the release, "The films have never looked or sounded better."
At this time it is unclear what versions of each film will appear in the set. Past Star Wars home video releases have focused on the updated special editions, though fan demand led to a later, unrestored release of the original theatrical version on the DVD format.

IGN meldet...
[...] It's been widely reported that George Lucas has expressed interest in bringing the Star Wars movies back to theaters with a fresh 3D treatment. Today in the IGN Theater at the C2E2 convention in Chicago, Lucasfilm Director of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet addressed those reports.
He says: "George has publicly expressed an interest in doing Star Wars 3D. Right now there are a number of different technologies, there's some criticism out there about some of the movies that have quickly changed to 3D, so you have to pick the right technology, you have to get it to a cost that makes sense, and you have to have the time of the director and producer -- George -- to actually go in there, because you can't push a button and stuff goes in one end and comes out 3D...
"Saying all that, George remains very interested in doing the Star Wars movies, all six, in 3D, and I hope it will happen someday in the not too distant future." [...]

Auf der Suche nach dem flüchtigen Jedi erkunden die Spieler in der Rolle des dunklen Schülers berühmte Schauplätze wie den Palast von Jabba the Hutt und treffen auf den berüchtigten Kopfgeldjäger Boba Fett.

Heute startet "Fanboys" in den deutschen Kinos......
Wir befinden uns im Jahr 1998, der "Star Wars"-Hype ist kurz vor dem Kinostart von "Episode I" auf einem vorläufigen Höhepunkt.
Gerade jetzt müssen die eingefleischten Anhänger Hutch, Windows und Eric erfahren, dass ihr alter Schulfreund Linus an Krebs erkrankt ist und die Premiere des heiß ersehnten Werks nicht mehr erleben wird. Um ihm eine letzte Freude zu bereiten, schmieden die Jungs einen waghalsigen Plan: Sie wollen in George Lucas’ Skywalker-Ranch einbrechen, um die Filmkopie zu klauen. Gemeinsam mit Fangirl Zoe begeben sie sich auf eine aberwitzige Reise quer durch Amerika. Doch natürlich ist das Vorhaben weniger leicht, als gedacht. Vor allem, wenn man sich vorher mit übelgelaunten "Star Trek"-Fans, durchgeknallten Bikern und anderen Hindernissen herumschlagen mus...

Bei Destructoid gibt es Gerüchte zu dem Videospiel "Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes", welches von den Krome Studios für PS3 und Xbox 360 entwickelt wird...
[...] Details on the game is scarce, but we're told Republic Heroes will feature a two-player cooperative mode, with both "Jedi" and "Clone" story missions. Players are said to play as Anakin Skywalker or Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano in a Jedi mode, and (at the very least) bounty hunter Cad Bane in the Clone missions. The game will have a focus on melee combat, complete with upgrades that can be purchased throughout the game. The ability to control droids, such as the rolling Droideka, was also mentioned by our tipster.
Krome Studios has experience with the Star Wars license, having previously worked on the Wii/PlayStation Portable/PlayStation 2 ports of Star Wars: The Forced Unleashed. More recently, the studio released Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Light Saber Duels for the Wii. Their next-gen action game pedigree includes Hellboy: Science of Evil for PS3 and Xbox 360 for Konami.

Slated to premiere in the fall of 2009, the second season will continue to take audiences on new and exciting adventures, combining the legendary storytelling of Lucasfilm with innovative animation. The season one finale of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" airs on Cartoon Network Friday, March 20 at 9 pm ET/PT.
"'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' is like nothing else on television and has delivered for us on all levels," said Stuart Snyder, President/COO Turner Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media.

We look forward to continuing what has been a great relationship with George and everyone at Lucasfilm."
"We're trying to push the envelope even further in the second season," said George Lucas. "In the features, I focused on telling the story of the Skywalker family. With The Clone Wars I'm exploring far beyond that and we barely scratched the surface in the first season. It's exciting to be able to take people to all these new places in the Star Wars galaxy."
The October 3, 2008 premiere of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" scored as the most-watched series debut in Cartoon Network history, according to Nielsen Media Research. Since its premiere, "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (Friday 9 p.m.) has ranked #1 in its time period on all television, broadcast and ad-supported cable with boys 2-11, boys 6-11, and tween boys 9-14 through January 2009.

Each week, viewers see a thrilling, 30-minute "mini-movie" created by the talented artists at Lucasfilm Animation.

Obwohl Star Wars Battlefront III nie offiziell angekündigt wurde, brodelt derzeit die Gerüchteküche wie nie zuvor darüber.
So sollte das Spiel offenbar bei Rebellion für die PlayStation 2 entwickelt werden, und dies als Grundlage für die PS3 und Xbox360 Version dann dienen. Die PS3 und Xbox360 Version sollten dann bei dem Bankrott gegangenen Entwickler Free Radical enstehen. Derzeit ist aber nicht bekannt ob Rebellion noch an der PS2 Version arbeitet.
Die PS3 und Xbox360 Version soll laut aktuellen Gerüchten bei Pandemic entstehen. Diese haben bereits die ersten beiden Teile entwickelt, bevor sie von EA aufgekauft wurden. Demnach könnte sogar EA als neuer Publisher in Erscheinung treten.
Electronic Arts gibt derzeit keine Stellungnahme zu den Gerüchten ab.
Inzwischen hat sich auch Lucas Arts zu Wort gemeldet und bestätigte ebenfalls, dass das Video von letzter Woche aus einer früheren Produktions Phase stammt, dies aber keine Garantie dafür sei, dass das Spiel jemals erscheint. [...]

CS: [...] A while back when we spoke you were planning to take the six "Star Wars" films and put them into a 3D format. Is that still something you're working towards?
Lucas: Oh yeah. The technology is very difficult. It exists - it's just extremely expensive, and so what we're trying to do is figure out a more practical way of pulling it off. [...]

Im "Hero Complex"-Blog der LA Times wurde kürzlich über eine mögliche Verfilmung des Videospiels "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" berichtet, welches bereits über 1,5 Millionen verkauft wurde...
Haden Blackman, the project leader on "The Force Unleashed" video game, has a daydream: He strolls into the movie theater, buys some popcorn and then sits down and watches his game's tale of Darth Vader and his secret apprentice flicker to life as cinema.
"Oh, that would be incredible," said Blackman. "And it's not impossible. Never say never. George [Lucas] has looked to tell new 'Star Wars' stories through the games and with the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe, and then he has also shown a willingness to let the characters come into the films. Look at Aayla Secura, a creation in the [Dark Horse] comic books who became part of the theatrical films." [...]

Quint von AICN sprach mit Sam Witwer aka Darth Vader's Schüler im Videospiel "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed"...
[...] the thing that I think I love about it is that there are certain things that are revealed that some people might take as "Oh, this is a big shocking revelation in the story" and other people might take it as "No, this is a big lie" and I don’t think there’s a right answer. There are certain things that happen where I don’t think anyone really knows what really happened and that’s I think the brilliance of what Haden did, that there’s so much in this story that it’s like he’s not telling you. He’s not explaining it to you, he’s not telling you what actually did go down and he’s giving you enough to come up with your own opinion and feel satisfied with that, but he’s not giving you anymore than that. He’s not leaving you unsatisfied, but he’s not spelling it out for you. [...]

An All-New Star Wars Adventure Comes to Television Every Friday Night Available on Cartoon Network and Cartoon Network HD.
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, the first weekly television series from Lucasfilm Animation, premieres on Cartoon Network Friday, October 3 at 9 p.m. (ET, PT) with a special one-hour presentation that anchors the Network's all-new night of fantasy, action and adventure. New series The Secret Saturdays and the current hit Ben 10: Alien Force join STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS for a night of non-stop adventure, exciting storytelling and innovative animation.
In the signature style of Lucasfilm Animation, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS chronicles the adventures of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Ahsoka Tano and other favorite STAR WARS characters as they struggle against the dark side during the divisive, action-packed Clone Wars. Each week, a new story in the galaxy-changing Clone Wars comes to center stage, brought to the screen by supervising director Dave Filoni and executive producer George Lucas.
Dwindling numbers of Jedi fight to maintain freedom and restore peace to the galaxy, using their army of genetically engineered clones against the seemingly never-ending droid army. The terrible conflict grows wider as our heroes are swept into the turmoil of war, while the evil Count Dooku, his assassin Asajj Ventress, their master Darth Sidious, the mechanical General Grievous and a rogue's gallery of never-before-seen villains scheme to defeat them.

CS! berichtet über die US-Kinocharts...
[...] Although The Dark Knight dropped to second place with $16.8 million this weekend, it remained just ahead of George Lucas' latest Jedi adventure, the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Warner Bros.), which opened in over 3,400 theaters (more than Tropic Thunder) but delivered a disappointing $15.5 million, an average of $4,500 per site. The poor showing might be blamed on the mostly negative reviews and feelings among the fanbase that it's essentially a television cartoon that didn't necessarily need to be seen in theaters. [...]
