The Clone Wars: Lost in translation
This morning TFN reported that French fansite Star Wars-Universe.com had info about a Clone Wars comic… But naturally, it’s in French. The EU Cantina ran it through an automatic translator, but I’m not really seeing any big scoop. Was anyone really expecting that there wouldn’t be some kind of comic tie-in?
On the TOS: Japan, Gaming, Clone Wars
StarWars.com celebrates the Celebration Japan announcement with a ‘Star Wars‘ in Japan checklist, a comparison of manga and American comic adaptions, and ten items they beat us to.

Rumor: Clone Wars Happy Meals?
TFN is reporting that McDonalds will be having a “global Star Wars promotion” in the fall for The Clone Wars.
There was Star Wars stuff at WonderCon, too!
The official blog has a roundup/transcript of Steve Sansweet’s panel, which started off with the Celebration Japan announcement (CJ? HA!) The rest of the first part is Steve talking to The Force Unleashed assistant producer Brett Rector, who confirms a few pesky rumors… Including one about the big dude himself. (Vader, not George. Sorry.) The second part skims a bit to an appearance by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, who talk Robot Chicken. And part three, with all the juicy Clone Wars goodness!
Clone Wars preview in March?
TFN came across a post saying that The Clone Wars will be screening on March 15th in Vegas… In 3-D?
Rumor: Jar Jar in The Clone Wars?
Well, I suppose someone has hold down the fort on Coruscant if they’re going to give Padme an actual plot… Anyway, this is what io9 claims:
Sources tell io9 Jar Jar Binks will be back in the new Star Wars: Clone Wars animated movie and series. But you won’t see too much of him.
You can see the actual item here, but beware: It’s their ‘Morning Spoilers’ post, and also addresses stuff like X-Files 2, The Dark Knight, and Dr. Who.
