Each day at Celebration Europe, Lucasfilm's Steve Sansweet will introduce an exclusive video presentation interview with Catherine Winder, producer of The Clone Wars, and Supervising Director Dave Filoni. Catherine and Dave share their stories about the creation of this groundbreaking series.
During the presentation, projected in the Platinum Theater, Winder and Filoni will reveal how a talented team of artists, designers and animators at Lucasfilm Animation -- many of them longtime Star Wars fans -- have been bringing an exciting, cinematic style to the CG-animated The Clone Wars.
