It seems Dragon*Con in Atlanta yesterday contained quite a bit of “Star Wars” tidbits and news; espescially pertaining to “The Clone Wars” and “The Force Unleashed.” Steve Sansweet was on hand and treated fans to a volley of special treats.
First, fans at the Con were treated to the world exclusive premiere of the first episode of the “Clone Wars” series debuting this October on Cartoon Network. According to reports, it centers around Yoda and three Clone Troopers going to Toydaria and facing off against Ventress and her droid army. “The Clone Wars” is set for every Friday evening on Cartoon Network according to Mr. Sansweet.
Second, fans also were treated to a brand new preview for the upcoming “Force Unleashed.” Scenes featuring the Emperor, Darth Vader, and Starkiller were shown and some never-before-seen clips were shown in the preview. Not long do we have to wait!

I saw the first episode at Dragon Con! I yelled Albuquerque when they were talking about hosting the next Star Wars Celebration. It was great…
Anyways, this series was NOT a let down for me. Coming from a big Star Wars fan. Episode 1 Clone Wars really made me want to go see the new movie in theatres, which was was originally skeptical of.
