George Lucas showed up in Vegas to promote Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and managed to be fairly cagey when it came to revealing anything to Empire. He showed a five minute clip (share, share!) and described the retro futuristic look as "a stylised cartoon, it's not photo real ... it's in a Gerry Anderson style, Thunderbirds. The characters have painted surfaces - they look like they've been painted."He also assured fans that it will feature all the major characters, as it takes place between Episodes II and III of the Star Wars saga. "It's got everyone. Yoda, The Emperor ... everybody that's in the features is in the animated series. It's just as if we took the feature and just continued it in an animation style." Alas, but not unexpected, none of the original cast members will be voicing their characters.

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.
