It's been just over a month since we
passed on the press release and cover art for
Star Wars: Clone Wars - Volume 1. At the time we knew that this disc, containing the first 19 three-minute chapters and the five-minute long Chapter 20, would hit stores on
March 22nd...and that was about all the info the press release had, other than a description of the plot! And the cover art, of course:
Now we have some specs, prices, and extras for you! Fox has let it be known that this DVD will be in 1.78:1 widescreen format (anamorphic). Sound is English, Spanish and French, all in Dolby 2.0 Surround. Running time is 69 Minutes. List price is $19.98 US, $25.98 CAN. Here are the extras and their approximate running times:
- Fan Commentary (3:00)
- Director Genndy Tartakovsky Commentary (3:00)
- Electronic Press Kit (4:00)
- Clone Wars Connections (7:00)
- Episode III Game Trailer (3:00)
- Episode III Movie Teaser (3:00)
- Planetary Forces PC Game (DVD-ROM) (1:00)
- Republic Commando X-Box Demo (15:00)
- Still Galleries: Posters, Stills, Sketches, Story Boards (7:00)
Wow, that's 46 minutes of extras, which is two-thirds the amount of time of the main feature! Very nice; we'll look at every minute of it! In fact, we'll probably have watched it a dozen times between the March 22 release date of this DVD, and the May 19th theatrical debut of
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The Force is certainly with us this year!
