EE: General
Kenobi in Clone Trooper Armor |
Entertainment Earth
have just announced that the General Kenobi in Clone Trooper Armor will be arriving in
March 2008.
Available for $49.99 USD, this 6 1/2 inch figure is a
mini-bust of Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi from Episode III: Revenge of the
Sith wearing Clone Trooper Armor, only previously seen in the Clone Wars
Animated Series.
The figure also comes with a lightsaber, adding an extra
inch on the overall height of the figure.
Limited to just 5000 pieces
worldwide, you better get in quick for a truly remarkable feat in
sculpturing!
"He's a bombad general! Or is he? Gentle Giant has taken one
of the greatest Jedi Master's out of the movies and transplanted him into an
outfit in which he was only seen in the world of the animated Clone Wars series.
This awesome resin Obi-Wan Kenobi in Clone Trooper Armor Mini Bust has a total
edition size of 5000 pieces and stands 6 1/2-inches tall (7 1/2-inches with
lightsaber). Beautifully detailed and authentically tinted for maximum realism,
he's poised to take command of your collection!
A dedicated and legendary
Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi had a long and tumultuous career that helped to
shape the fate of an entire galaxy. As a General in the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan
Kenobi served the Senate and the Republic heroically, on numerous historic
battlefronts. Despite his misgivings, he became a seasoned starfighter pilot,
learning several tricks from his unorthodox Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, as the
duo blazed a trail of victory through Separatists lines. During the Clone Wars,
Kenobi ascended to the rank of Jedi Master, and he occupied a position in the
Jedi Council."

Star Wars: The
Clone Wars Coming to Theaters and TV in 2008 |
A new era of Star Wars
entertainment begins in 2008 when Star Wars: The Clone Wars, from creator George
Lucas, premieres as an all-new feature film in August, followed by the
television series debut in the fall, in a partnership announced today between
Lucasfilm Ltd., Warner Bros. Pictures and Turner Broadcasting System
Inc.
Produced by Lucasfilm Animation, Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes
audiences on incredible new Star Wars adventures, combining the legendary
storytelling of Lucasfilm with an eye-popping, signature animation style. Star
Wars: The Clone Wars will open in North American theaters Friday, August 15.
International release dates will be announced soon.
"I felt there were a
lot more Star Wars stories left to tell," said George Lucas, executive producer
of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. "I was eager to start telling some of them through
animation and, at the same time, push the art of animation forward."
The
theatrical debut of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is only the beginning of all-new
Star Wars adventures that continue in the fall when the long-awaited television
series premieres on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT. Details
regarding international broadcasts will be announced shortly. Star Wars: The
Clone Wars showcases an entirely new look and feel to the galaxy far, far away
-- combining the expansive scope of the Star Wars Saga with state-of-the-art
computer-generated animation. Each week, viewers will see a thrilling, 30-minute
"mini-movie" created by the talented artists at Lucasfilm Animation.
On
the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young
and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi
and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin's padawan learner,
Ahsoka. Sinister villains -- led by Darth Sidious, 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 that fill Star
Wars: The Clone Wars.
"Warner Bros. and Turner are uniquely positioned to
deliver on the enormous potential of The Clone Wars because together they offer
a world-class opportunity: the theatrical and home-video distribution of Warner
Bros. and the broad reach of the Turner Networks," said Micheline Chau,
President and Chief Operating Officer of Lucasfilm Ltd. "This terrific
combination hits the key demographic groups, ranging from kids to adults, that
make up the Star Wars audience."
Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Pictures
President of Domestic Distribution, added, "This is a breakthrough project --
returning Star Wars to the big screen in a completely new way while beginning an
exciting new chapter in George Lucas' legendary saga. We immediately felt that
it would be a fantastic theatrical event and are thrilled to be bringing it to
moviegoers."
"Nothing like this has ever been produced for television,"
said Stuart Snyder, President/COO Turner Animation,Young Adults & Kids
Media. "For 30 years, Star Wars has shown that it appeals to a huge breadth of
fans. The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network will be appointment television for
everyone in the family. We're thrilled to be working with Lucasfilm again and
very excited to be playing a role in bringing this remarkable adventure to
viewers."With a new story each week, Star Wars: The Clone Wars continues the
tradition of thrilling stories, astonishing visuals and extraordinary music that
have always been the hallmarks of the Star Wars Saga.
Lucasfilm
Animation, which is based in Marin County, Calif., with a studio in Singapore,
has produced more than 30 all-new episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and
production continues on even more exciting episodes.
The first in a
planned series of special web-only documentaries that chronicle the development
of Star Wars: The Clone Wars debuts online today, and can be found

Samuel L. Jackson
May Voice Mace Windu In The CGI Clone Wars |
MTV
has an article about the possibility of Samuel L. Jackson voicing Mace Windu in
the new CGI Clone Wars series.
You’ve got to admire any actor who essentially told George Lucas he’d be
happy to do anything in a “Star Wars” movie. And not only that, but Samuel L.
Jackson is sounding like he’s still up for being a part of the franchise in
whatever form it takes.
As we all know the “Star Wars” saga is far from over with not one but two
television series in development. The live action series is set to take place
after the events of Episode III meaning a Mace Windu appearance ain’t looking so
likely BUT there’s always the new CGI animated Clone Wars series.
And Sam Jackson sounds game to return. ”Yeah, absolutely,” Jackson told
MTV News today when asked if he’s interested in voicing the Mace Windu character
in the new series. “I would love to,” Jackson said when asked if he’s ready to
be the ill-fated Jedi warrior once again. Most exciting of all? Jackson
confirmed that Lucas and company have expressed interest. “I have talked to them
about it,” he said.” A lot of people love that character,” Jackson continued,
pondering the continuing adventures of the only Jedi on record to wield a purple
lightsaber.
It sure would be great if we had Sam playing Mace again. It would bring
something extra to the series for sure.
