Animation Magazine is reporting that Disney is eager to secure a deal to broadcast CLONE WARS, a computer-animated series that George Lucas is prepping. If the deal goes through, Disney will convert part of the Tomorrowland section of its signature theme park to feature STAR WARS-related shops and attractions. The first batch of 22-minute episodes (Lucas says he wants to churn out 100) is planned to be ready in time for the Fall 2008 season. The tone is supposed to be more in line with the original STAR WARS film. Audiences will elarn more about such peripheral characters as Boba Fett and General Grievous.
