The Clone Wars: Decoded on May 1 on Cartoon Network

Quote:Coming off of the record-setting first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Cartoon Network announced today it will premiere Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Decoded, a full slate of 22 enhanced episodes from season one of the CG-animated series from creator George Lucas and Lucasfilm Animation. Using text windows to provide in-the-moment insights into all aspects of the sweeping galactic conflict -- from trivia to background on characters and storylines -- Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Decoded enhances each episode with exclusive content created by the Lucasfilm Animation talent responsible for the show itself.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Decoded is Cartoon Network's first-ever season-long commitment to enhancing the content of existing series episodes. Offering a new twist on the beloved series and serving as an unprecedented primer for faithful fans as well as new viewers, Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Decoded premieres Friday, May 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT only on Cartoon Network. This full season of enhanced episodes will continue each Friday at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the regular time slot for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, leading up to the fall 2009 premiere of season two.

Here's a video preview:

It's basically, Pop-Up Video, if you can remember that far back. At least we get to see the episodes again...and I imagine they will include this feature in the box set DVD.

Actually, I think this is a very awesome idea, but to tell you the truth I'd watch it on DVD but not TV. If that makes sense.

The real question is, will the pop-ups make a "blop" sound when they appear?

I watched it last night and was somewhat surprised that it was somewhat enjoyable. Some of the facts that popped up made me feel like banging my head , but some were actually very informative. Overall it was satisfying.

I think, while the pop ups were a little redundant, we have to think that this is for kids. It may have helped those who can read with a better understanding for what was going on. Although I wonder how many kids are actually reading them...

Looking forward to see the one for "Rookies".
