Toonami and LucasArts are teaming up to produce a new series of Star Wars: Clone Wars.

The new animated series, which acts as a bridge between the Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III movies, will air on Toonami in the UK from March 21, 2005.

Lucas Licensing President, Howard Roffman, said: "We were really impressed with the quality of the animation and the storytelling abilities that Cartoon Network Studios and Genndy brought to the first Star Wars: Clone Wars episodes, and clearly viewers were, too, because the feedback we received about the micro-series was fantastic. This new mini-series will bring even more depth and excitement to the story of the Clone Wars and will lead viewers right into the adventures of Star Wars: Episode III."

Each episode of the series will be twelve minutes long.
