Something smacks of a roadblock forcing him to re-think his plans, or perhaps he simply could not get the TV deal he wanted. So, shove out a very publicised movie, get the audience chomping for more (a cliff-hanger ending that will only be resolved in the TV series would help), then go back to the TV network and force a more attractive deal... not that I care, just pondering the possibilities.

His "clone wars" animated series is going to kick-off with a movie, then immediately move to the small screen. I don't go to the movies very often, but if it's a lead in to a whole tv series of Star Wars stuff, I might be tempted by this. And rather then the movie being a drawn-out version of a well-established tv show, it's going to be something new and exciting.
