Lucasfilm Reveals New Star Wars Character!

Lucasfilm has revealed a new character (click on the image above for a larger version), who will be part of their planned CGI-animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series. In addition to folks like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan and Yoda, we'll get newbies like Ahsoka Tano, who comes with the following description: "This young Togruta is eager to prove herself as a worthy Padawan to her bold Master, Anakin Skywalker. Able to wield a lightsaber and pilot a spacecraft with great talent, Ahsoka promises to become a worthy Jedi." She kind of looks a little like Natalie Portman ... if Portman had weird hair and wielded a lightsaber. The new series is supposedly due out later this year, and look for more characters to be revealed in the coming weeks.

I'm not the smartest Star Wars historian, but I don't remember Anakin ever reaching the status where he would have a Jedi student of his own.

Gotta say, "Yeah, wtf?" Anakin was never a Master. At the end of Ep III he was still Obi-Wan's padawan. Odd.

And didn't Cartoon Network run some sort of mini-series based on the clone wars?

Am I the only one kind of disappointed with how she looks? I mean isn't Lucas spending like hundreds of millions of this, and that character still looks like something you'd see in an early Playstation 2 game. I know it's a cartoon, but isn't is supposedly geared at a more mature audience? So, shouldn't that warrant some more mature animation, and less Saturday Morning on Nickelodeon?

@Seattle Yonkers: Do you mean you wish her breasts were bigger?

So George needs to sell more toys.
Why doesn't he just do a Tolkien and invent more damn places that never existed, instead of screwing up the ones we are familiar with.
