Genndy Tartakovsky Talks About His Career

Posted By Mike on December 3, 2008

This past weekend, Genndy Tartakovsky (The Clone Wars micro-series, Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory...) spoke at the Rhode Island School of Design and you can click here for a write up at The Brown Daily Herald. See below for an excerpt where Tartakovsky touches on his work with Lucasfilm:

"Tartakovsky explained that he got "The Clone Wars" gig, which was thought up by Lucasfilm Ltd., because the action figures for the recent Star Wars movies weren't selling as well as they had hoped.

Cartoon Network has a relationship with Hasbro, the company that produces Star Wars action figures, Tartakovsky explained.

"Eventually I just got a call. I was like, 'Star Wars? Of course I like Star Wars!" he said. "But it was stressful because I had to translate this world I've loved since I was a kid into something completely different."

To give "The Clone Wars" a new perspective on Star Wars, Tartakovsky utilized his love of martial arts and the knowledge of fighting he acquired during production of "Samurai Jack."

He showed a comic sequence where Jedi Master Mace Windu takes down an entire army of battle droids without his light saber.

"I love to put the juxtaposition of comedy and violence," he said of his work."
