Coming Soon indicates that during the Star Wars: Episode III- Revenge of the Sith DVD junket at Skywalker Ranch yesterday, Star Wars producer Rick McCallum mentioned the progress on the future computer animated Clone Wars series. “The animation is being done right now as we speak, it’s starting to prep. That’s being done here at the Ranch. A lot of the effects will be done in Singapore. But that won’t really start moving forward, I mean it’s just now conceptual work and script work now. I think George is trying to get 13 scripts done first before we really get into the pipeline of it. But that’ll start happening probably at the end of March,” said McCallum.
