Rebelscum’s ‘rebels spies’ have ferreted out a schedule for The Clone Wars releases that include a television debut date (October 3) and the movie’s DVD release date (November 18) as well as a bunch of Wal-Mart stuff. Are their spies on target? Can’t say, but it wouldn’t hurt to pencil them in.
More The Clone Wars pics
Starwars Union has some high-res pics from the movie that I, at least, haven’t seen before. (You’ll have to scroll a bit, past highlight-to-read spoilers, but at least none of them are in English.) Permalinked! Thanks, Christian!
Meanwhile, StarWars.com has a look at DK readers.
More more more The Clone Wars
With August and the release date bearing down, the news is (finally, overwhelmingly) starting to flow…
- The movie is set to premiere August 10 at Hollywood’s historic Egyptian Theatre (where ESB premiered) with all proceeds going to American Cinematheque, a non-profit film organization. Members can order tickets early, but they go on sale for the public on July 23.
- The soundtrack will be out August 12.
- More kid’s book covers spotted on Amazon by Eddie and Zee Zee: Decide Your Destiny #1: The Way Of The Jedi, Operation Huttlet, Meet Ahsoka Tano and Sticker Storyteller. (Thanks, Zee Zee!)
Karen Traviss on The Clone Wars
The author, whose first TCW book is due out in a matter of weeks, updated her website with a few words on the project:
CLONE WARS, the hardcover based on the movie – loosely based, so no griping that it’s different, because that’s the whole point – is out on July 26. Full of the gritty, off-message, character-testing, question-raising, grey-area, military-oriented stuff you’ve come to expect from me. And clones. Plenty of clones. And familiar characters from the movies that you won’t see quite the same way ever again.
In other news of interest for Traviss fans, Eos is offering her first Wess’har novel, City of Pearl, as a free download through August. (via)
