Not only is the Disney Infinity game including Star Wars characters, the first round of characters will be from…Clone Wars. You know, the show that got the hook once Disney took over. First two figures to come with the game pack will be Anakin and Ahsoka.
Check out the photo on the Wolfpack Podcast site. The original story got taken down by Disney’s Sithly team of lawyers.
Reported across the internets is the (as of yet unconfirmed) news that the AMC multiplex chain will run a marathon of the Star Wars films in December, leading up to the release of TFA. Some guy who writes for Star Wars Action Figure News found this out from an AMC manager.
It would be interesting to see if the prequel films will be in 3D since those 3D versions exist.
It remains to be seen if other chains will do something similar. (Come on, Arclight and Cinépolis!)
Blastr.com has an article on the 2003-2005 Clone Wars micro series, how it paved the way for Star Wars on t.v. (including obviously the Clone Wars series), and its possible influence on TFA? It also has James Arnold Taylor discussing the difference between his approach to Obi-Wan in the micro series and in the later series.
They all come to an end eventually:
If you haven’t watched the unaired Bad Batch arc of four Clone Wars episodes, they are available for viewing now on star wars.com.
starwars.com has an interesting piece on the influence of the 1950s Western “The Searchers” on AOTC. Interestingly enough, Clone Wars writers had a similar idea with the incomplete episodes with Cad Bane and Boba Fett.
