Star Wars CGI animation to hit big, small screens

Movie goers haven't seen the last of the Star Wars franchise. Clone Wars, chronicling the events between Episodes II and III, will take to the big screen this August as an event that will kick off the 3-D series' launch on Cartoon Network.

Distributed by Warner Bros. instead of 20th Century Fox, Clone Wars will mark Lucasfilm's first use of CGI in an animated Star Wars spin-off, working as a higher-budget expansion to a 2003 cartoon miniseries of the same name.
