This morning, The Digital Bits posted this little tidbit in their
Rumor Mill section:
Also today, we can't vouch for the source, but a Star Wars fan website has information that reportedly leaked from someone who attended a recent Lucasfilm marketing meeting. Among the interesting bits of information is word that the first and second series of Star Wars: Clone Wars animated shorts will hit DVD in the first quarter of 2005.
We took a look at the
fansite, thanks to the provided link at The Bits, and here's exactly how this info was stated at "Yakface.com":
Great info from a source in the retail industry who attended an official briefing on Episode III merchandising...
Clone Wars Series 1 & 2 DVD coming in Q1 of 05
Clone Wars Series 3 to air April 05 (Ten 12 minute chapters)
We presume that the 3rd "micro-series" of shorts that Cartoon Network will air is also going to be on DVD at some point. Yakface.com had a much longer list of info than that for
Star Wars fans to read up on, but this is the only TV-on-DVD news there. Sorry, no word yet on
Droids, Ewoks, the two Ewok telefilms, or the
Holiday Special. Stay tuned, though, and if any more
Star Wars related TV-on-DVD pops up, we'll be sure to transmit a hologram right away.
