Well, if you want to get all technical about, yes, a conflict of sorts is still going on after RotS in which clones are involved, as are Jedi and the Sith Lord Darth Vader. And these conflicts might escalate into a larger entanglement that might pass for a "war." But come on; how can everyone in the original trilogy act like the Jedi are a long-vanished race if they were still fighting up to 15 years before A New Hope. That is not even a generational gap there.

LucasFilm Animation Singapore Finally Opens
Plus SpikeTV acquires exclusive rights to air Star Wars Saga
Work Begins On The New Animated Series.
LucasFilm Animation has officially opened its Singapore Animation Studio, with work already proceeding on a Star Wars 3-D animated series both there and at headquarters in Marin County, California. Guests to the opening day ceremony in Singapore were treated to a Lion Dance and the unveiling of a statue (and later a cake) of Jedi Master Yoda as Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, second minister for trade and industry, and Mr. Teo Ming Kian, Chairman of the Economic Development Board (EDB) of Singapore, made the ceremony's official remarks. Joining them were Mich Chau, president and cheif operating officer of Lucasfilm, and Gail Currey, vice president and general manager of Lucasfilm Animation.
LucasFilm Animation Singapore will work closely with California-based LucasFilm Animation, and Currey announced key members for both studios.
Working out of the Singapore studio will be:
• Christian Kubsch (general manager) • Philip Stamp (director of animation) • Teo Chor Guan (software engineer manager) • Rosina Lim Yennyenn (controller)
"Chris Kubsch will be building a strong crew of artistic talent and production-operational expertise that will be a huge asset both to the Singapore Animation community and LucasFilm entertainment companies. " Currey said. "We're looking forward to the innovation and creative vision they'll undoubtedly bring to our first television series and our future animation and digital media projects."
The creative executives based in the United States are:
• Catherine Winder (executive producer) • Dave Filoni (supervising director) • Henry Gilroy (head writer/story editor) • Robert Coleman (animation and development director)
"These four amazing talents, combined with the leadership of our Singapore studio, mean that our first series and our future projects will be both innovative and entertaining." said Currey. "They'll bring us great stories, fantastic visuals, and a strong future."
LucasFilm's legacy as a pioneering force of visual technology and its history of setting new standards for the entire history will continue as work progresses on the animated series. "We're leveraging not only the technology but also the expertise and techniques developed over the years at Industrial Light & Magic and LucasArts to train a new generation of digital artists at our Singapore studio." said Chris Plumer, chief technology officer of Lucasfilm.
The underlying foundations of the facilities in Singapore, Skywalker Ranch, and the Letterman Digital Arts Center will be virtually identical, allowing for tight coordination and smooth communication among the three facilities. Details concerning the animated series, scheduled to hit airwaves in 2007, are scant at best, but keep checking future issues of Insider and starwars.com for more information.
Good to see Rob Coleman on the team

All I hope is that the Chinese don't try to "manga-nize" the animation. I don't want to see my Jedi heroes with big googly eyes and shooting fireballs from their hands.

I trust GL, though. In end, he shall do us a good turn. He needs to hurry up, though. Mainstream interest in Star Wars is waning. I can feel it.

Something very stupid is going on if Lucas thinks we will all be dying to see more of the Clone Wars in two years. OK, so I was horribly wrong. It would be 3 years until we were dying to see more of the Clone Wars. LOL
