SAN
FRANCISCO, Calif. (July 15, 2009) – After
wowing TV audiences with a cutting-edge, animated look at “a galaxy far,
far away,” Star Wars: The Clone Wars™ The Complete
Season One is coming to DVD and high-definition
Blu-ray Disc November 3 from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Warner Home Video.
Live the adventures again and again, and dig deeper into the first season of The
Clone Wars with a comprehensive look behind-the-scenes of the
popular animated series. Uniquely packaged with an exclusive 64 page production
journal, the four-disc set contains all 22 episodes from the groundbreaking
first season – including seven extended Director’s Cuts – as
well as companion featurettes for each episode. And exclusive to the Blu-ray
disc, The Jedi Temple Archives provides in-depth
access to an extensive database of creative materials.
“I’m
a longtime Star Wars fan, and the same’s true for a lot of the
guys working on the show,” said supervising director Dave Filoni. “And
as a fan, I know that Lucasfilm can be pretty secretive. They’re famous
for it. But we’re all so proud of the work that’s gone into The
Clone Wars, and we wanted to share some of our production tricks, and
open up the vault and reveal our efforts. You’re going to get unprecedented
access, to see the nuts and bolts of our series – from concept to finished
animation.”
Created and executive produced by George Lucas, the first-ever TV production
from Lucasfilm Animation explores the tumultuous time between Episodes II and
III of the live-action saga, expanding the scope of Star Wars beyond
anything seen in the feature films. With the fate of the galaxy hanging in the
balance, the heroes of the Republic – including the valiant Jedi Knights
and their loyal clone troopers – fight bravely to repel the attacks of
the evil Separatists and their droid army.
“The live-action saga was just the beginning. The universe is vast, and
there are so many more stories to explore beyond Anakin’s fall and redemption,” said
Lucas. “The scope of the war gives us the perfect vehicle for a weekly
series, allowing us to look at how the conflict has affected the farthest reaches
of the galaxy, including characters, creatures and races we only glimpsed in
the feature films. Animation has allowed us to visualize the worlds and characters
of Star Wars in all new ways.”
