An All-New Star Wars Adventure Comes to Television Every Friday Night
Available on Cartoon Network and Cartoon Network HD
ATLANTA, Sept. 2 -- STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, the first
weekly television series from Lucasfilm Animation, premieres on Cartoon
Network Friday, October 3 at 9 p.m. (ET, PT) with a special one-hour
presentation that anchors the Network's all-new night of fantasy, action
and adventure. New series The Secret Saturdays and the current hit Ben 10:
Alien Force join STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS for a night of non-stop
adventure, exciting storytelling and innovative animation.
In the signature style of Lucasfilm Animation, STAR WARS: THE CLONE
WARS chronicles the adventures of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda,
Ahsoka Tano and other favorite STAR WARS characters as they struggle
against the dark side during the divisive, action-packed Clone Wars. Each
week, a new story in the galaxy-changing Clone Wars comes to center stage,
brought to the screen by supervising director Dave Filoni and executive
producer George Lucas.
Dwindling numbers of Jedi fight to maintain freedom and restore peace
to the galaxy, using their army of genetically engineered clones against
the seemingly never-ending droid army. The terrible conflict grows wider as
our heroes are swept into the turmoil of war, while the evil Count Dooku,
his assassin Asajj Ventress, their master Darth Sidious, the mechanical
General Grievous and a rogue's gallery of never-before-seen villains scheme
to defeat them.
Cartoon Network's new night of fantasy-adventure programming begins at
8 p.m. (ET, PT) with the series premiere of a new comedy-action series, The
Secret Saturdays, from Cartoon Network, Porchlight Entertainment and
creator Jay Stephens, about a family of world-saving adventure scientists.
Doc, Drew and Zak Saturday live in a hidden base and are part of a network
of scientists who protect against all the underlying evil in the world. To
the Saturdays, ordinary folktales aren't just legends, but real-life
mysteries and adventures. Traveling from the Gobi Desert to the Marianas
Trench, they explore ancient temples and bottomless caves and tangle with
twisted villains, including the masked madman V.V. Argost and his
half-human/half-giant spider.
