In the Hasbro Fall 2007 Analyst Event earlier today, someone from Hasbro said that the new TV show, Star Wars: Clone Wars - The Animated Series would be premiering in theaters August 8, 2008 and on TV a few weeks later!

Lucasfilm's response:
"I'd like to clarify Hasbro comments this AM about the Clone Wars TV series. We see it as a breakthrough animated television series and are exploring a number of innovative ways to introduce it to the public. No decisions regarding release strategy have been made yet. [A theatrical release is] one of the many things being discussed but we have no decisions yet. For us it's all about finding a creative way to launch a creative TV series."

Personally, I think this is so cool! I'm not going to count on it, but many companies will say "we have no plans for ___ at this time" until shortly before they actually want to announce it. Also, more Star Wars in theaters? That would be so awesome!
