The history of the Star Wars universe dates back to “a long time ago” in 1977, when the first installment of the live-action saga introduced audiences to the tumultuous events of that “galaxy far, far away.” Since that time, the smallest nuances of the sprawling space opera have found their way into the pop culture lexicon, into daily vocabulary…and into the ongoing adventures of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS! In a special encore presentation of ‘Children of the Force’ airing at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, October 23 on Cartoon Network, eagle-eyed fans can seek out some of the easter eggs, inside jokes, hidden gems and heritage homages planted by the mischievous crew of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS.

No word on price just yet, but expect them to be available for the holiday 2009 season.
