BRAIN: Last month we saw some pics from Toy Fair 2006 of Star Wars original trilogy characters illustrated in the fashion of Genndy Tartakovsky. Sometimes vendors slip and display things at conventions that haven't been announced yet. Both Zed and I were really hoping that this meant that there was going to be more Cartoon Network Star Wars cartoons in the same style as Clone Wars. It's pretty disappointing to find out that this is not the case. Gentle Giant, the maker of the maquettes, is just tooning out characters in that fashion because the original maquettes for Clone Wars sold so well. What a drag. I would give my left nut to have an original trilogy cartoon as cool as Clone Wars. If they can make a cartoon that cool out of the prequils story line, I can't imagine how cool it would be to see Han and Chewie in the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs... Oh well. These things still look great and I'm seriously considering the Princess Leia and R2 one. StarWars.com has the story.
