    Apparently WB is going to release a series of "Best of"-like single disc sets of a handful of episodes at first (apparently for parents of young fans), but later this year they will release the full Season One set for serious collectors, according to TheDigitalBits.

    Makes sense. Seems like a lot of child-geared cartoons go this route.

    Yeah, they're apparently doing this for the new animated Spectacular Spider-Man series as well.

    But speaking of which, how many episodes are supposed to be in Season One of the Clone Wars?

    ^ I'm not entirely sure. I remember Wookiepedia saying this show is also going to have 100 total episodes.

    Are you sure because the live action show is supposed to have 100 episodes. 100 episodes seems like a lot for a redo series of a couple dozen mini episode show fro ma few years ago.

    ^ According to Wookiepedia (links to a video interview on IESB) there are 30 episodes confirmed with 100 having been planned.

    According to the Star Wars Blog the live action series has 100 planned and 400 proposed.

    400? That right there proves those numbers are out of someone's ass.

    I would guess both will have 100 episodes then.

    400?!!

    That would be like 15+ years worth of episodes.

    Yeah, but this is Lucas, and he can afford it, because people will lap up the merchandise, just like they always have, and he knows it.

    I know they initially said back in 2005 that the live-action would be 100 episodes. Now they're saying it starts as one show then splits off into four different shows and could run much longer. Perhaps that's where the 400 number comes from.
