Star Wars: The Clone Wars Trailers Debuts Today

On Thursday, May 8th, five Turner networks will broadcast the world-premiere trailer for STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS. At 7:58 p.m. in all U.S. time zones, Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Boomerang will debut two-minute preview of the animated adventure from creator George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation. It marks the first time a theatrical trailer has received a simultaneous, cross-network airing on Turner Networks. The trailer debuts in theaters on Friday, May 9th.

Opening nationwide on August 15, 2008, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

"By combining the power of the Turner Networks and the power of the Force, we're able to create a fantastic event for STAR WARS fans of all ages," said Howard Roffman, VP of Lucasfilm Ltd. "We're incredibly proud of THE CLONE WARS, and eager to be able to showcase it for the first time in such an exciting way."

Following its broadcast debut across the Turner Networks, the trailer for STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS will be available for viewing exclusively at the official STAR WARS website, www.starwars.com.

The theatrical release of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS tells an all-new story that leads directly in to this fall's premiere of a weekly, animated STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS television series on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT.
