Star Wars on Cartoon Network HD?
ADVERTS 1
Does anyone know if the upcoming Star Wars series on Cartoon Network will actually be in HD? The program guide doesn't say HD, but I have heard that it is not always accurate. It is hard for me to tell if cartoons are stretched, so I was wondering if there was another way to know. I figured George Lucas would insist on broadcasting in HD, but who knows?

Nothing on Cartoon Network HD is HD. Everything they have on there is stretched. It is just a SD unconverted stretched mess. A big waste of a channel.

Not entirely correct.
The Venture Brothers was created in HD, as of this past season

Actually, Although it was delivered to Cartoon Network in HD, it still has yet to be shown in HD. So far they just stretched the letterboxed 4:3 SD, which we all don't like!

I will say it again. Cartoon Network does not have a HD channel. All it is upconverted stretched SD. If it was a true HD channel then HD programing would not be stretched and the network logo would have HD next to it.
I will be watching Clone Wars but on the SD channel non stretched.

Guess we'll just have to wait until 10/3 at 20:00CDT to see who's correct.

I read before recently buying Episodes I-IV on regular DVD that a spokesman for Lucus Films said that they have no intention of releasing any movies in HD. Lucas wouldn't release to DVD for a long time because he is afraid of pirating. Now he is letting cartoon network do an HD presentation that we can keep on our DVRs? OMG!

I guess the only way to know would be to record both feeds and do a comparison then?
