Weekend Sunrise got the first sneak preview of the new Star Wars film, Clone Wars. It is so different and yet so familiar that it it could face the wrath of fans or their continued, often obsessive approval.

Using state-of-the-art computer-generated animation, Clone Wars is the first animated Star Wars feature film to be seen in theaters, filling in the storyline between Episodes two and three.

The TV Series to follow the film has the setting of an epic struggle with many familiar characters: "The Grand Army of the Republic, led by Yoda, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and other Jedi Knights, fights the New Droid Army of the Separatists."

Ahsoka Tano, Anakin's young female apprentice also appears.

In this new film, Star Wars creator George Lucas hopes to reveal yet more of his imaginative world, now in a new method.

"I felt there were a lot more Star Wars stories left to tell," said George Lucas, also executive producer.

"I was eager to start telling some of them through animation and, at the same time, push the art of animation forward."
