The new photos show quite a few different stills from the movie, as well as concept drawings and photographs of the director Dave Filoni and Star Wars creator George Lucas.

On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin’s padawan learner, Ahsoka.

Sinister villains – led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous – are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is rated PG for sci-fi action violence throughout, brief language and momentary smoking. For more information about the movie, including links to the official web site, trailers and videos from the movie, and more, please see its Information page.
