PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- July 22, 2008 -- With the launch of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, the galaxy far, far away continues to evolve and expand - and as it has done for more than 30 years, Hasbro is on board to translate the excitement of these all-new adventures into toys. On July 26, 2008, Hasbro brings home all of the fun of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS to kids of all ages. Fans may relive their favorite STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS adventures with toys such as the new STAR WARS CLONE TROOPER VOICE CHANGER HELMET and the AT-TE, the ultimate clone transport.

Produced by Lucasfilm Animation, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS combines the legendary storytelling of George Lucas with an eye-popping, signature animation style. STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS blasts off first as a worldwide theatrical release on August 15, 2008, then becomes a weekly series on Cartoon Network beginning in the fall, followed by airings on TNT.

STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS is set in the period between Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. The story chronicles a dramatic period when the galaxy is consumed by the Clone Wars, a massive civil war that has pitted the evil Separatists and their droid armies against the Republic and its Jedi protectors.

In addition to the STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS toy line, Hasbro will also launch other new STAR WARS toys on July 26, including the largest MILLENNIUM FALCON toy ever designed, as well as new characters from the STAR WARS TRANSFORMERS universe.
