STAR WARS: CLONE WARS picks up where Attack of the Clones left off, following Jedi heroes through events that lead into the upcoming STAR WARS: EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH, which opens in theaters around the world on May 19.
“As soon as it premiered, CLONE WARS was embraced as a fresh and fun extension of the Star Wars Saga,” said Jim Ward, vp of marketing and distribution for Lucasfilm Ltd. “With the DVD release, kids will be able to relive the adventures over and over while Star Wars fans will have the chance to explore this incredibly rich animated series in detail.”
