Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 1 Coming to DVD
December 06, 2004

The Emmy Award-winning and critically acclaimed Star Wars: Clone Wars micro-series is coming to DVD on March 22, 2005, and here's a first look at the box art of this action-packed release that blends the epic scope of Star Wars with a unique animated style.

Obi-Wan Kenobi fights a messy battle with an alien bounty hunter; Anakin Skywalker engages in an epic lightsaber duel in the decrepit ruins of Yavin 4; Mace Windu single-handedly takes on an entire droid army -- these are some of the unshakable images of micro-series, enjoyed by viewers of the Cartoon Network as well as members of Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club.

All 19 three-minute chapters and the five-minute long Chapter 20 of the first round of Star Wars: Clone Wars are gathered together in this release. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky with Art Direction by Paul Rudish, the Clone Wars series are a fresh, stylized take on Star Wars that remains true to the spirit of the saga. They chronicle some of the epic battles that occur between Episodes II and III as the Clone Wars rage across the galaxy.

Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 1 debuts on DVD on March 22, 2005. Cartoon Network will host the premiere of the all-new Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 2 on March 21, one day before the DVD's release. Keep checking starwars.com for the latest developments.

Awesome news for the awesome eyes.

What's the MSRP?

I really can't see it retailing for more than 15-20 bucks in the store.

But still, awesome news, I really enjoyed this mini series but I missed a ton of eps due to sprodic showings on CN.

[Cowutopia]

Volume one? WTF? Put them all on one dvd for chrissakes.

...

Still I'm sure I'll end up purchasing this. The rips I have aren't that hot in quality. But Home Movies is first.

My GF - "That man [Lucas] must be made entirely out of penis. ... Do you think Lucas constructed a penis of lightsaber stature with all the money he sucked out of our sorry asses?"

It is one DVD, read the article.

I think Volume 2 is a whole new set of cartoons.

It mentions that all 20 episodes are on the first dvd, and Cartoon Network is showing the all new volume 2.

[Cowutopia]

Both sets should be on one dvd. It's not enough content for two volumes.

And I've been pissed off waiting for the second set of shit on Cartoon Network.

[Razor Ramon]

This is good. What will make this into a truly great experience is the announcement that Justice League will be on just one DVD or a DVD box set.

And I've been pissed off waiting for the second set of shit on Cartoon Network.

So you want to wait another year to own the first series on DVD?

I'll gladly pay about $20 for the first series and then wait and pay the same for the next a year from now.

[Cowutopia]

no. I want the second set to have been released already.

Correct, new episodes are coming before episode 3 (IIRC theforce.net said this...) which will supposedly focus on Grevious. *drools*

The CW shorts were awesome, especially the duels with Durge, Ayla and Grevious.

My only little gripe is the episode which focused on Mace, he had all the superpowers of the Justice League taking down a whole droid army and a flying supertanker while *flying through the air nonstop.* I know he's a Jedi, and yeah they can float sometimes but this aint a Superman cartoon. Just a small nit though.

I have loved Tartakovsky since Dexter's Lab.

That episode with the fish man reminded me of this too.

How he sailed through the sea, cutting up the enemy's fleet, then he made a giant compressed bubble out of the air?

Almost thought I was watching Aquaman, for a second.
