Just how far can you stretch a franchise? As far as George
Lucas — mastermind behind the “Star Wars” movies and their fictional
intergalactic realm that dedicated fanboys have been studying since the
original ’70s trilogy first premiered — wants.
The animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” which tells the
story of the much-alluded-to battle vaguely responsible for the death of nearly
every Jedi, hits theaters this August, just in time to get a new generation of
Star Warriors excited for the upcoming Wii video game and TV show.
Sure it’s absurd, but people just can’t get enough of Yoda
and his Force-wielding colleagues, so get ready for another summer marked by
plastic lightsaber battles and Slurpee cups shaped like C-3PO. August 15.
