'Star Wars' saga moves to cartoons

Can't wait for the next chapter in the "Star Wars" franchise? Then we have news for you. The Cartoon Network and Lucasfilm have announced that 20 animated shorts will appear on the cable network this fall.

"Star Wars: Clone Wars" will pick up where Episode II left off. Each short will be about three minutes long and will run at regularly scheduled times. "Clone Wars" will be produced by a team led by Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory.

Boston orchestra puts its sound online

Classical music lovers: Have you always longed to "up the tempo" in the woodwind section? The Boston Symphony Orchestra's interactive online conservatory at www.bso.org is releasing clips of music from the orchestra's concerts along with interviews with composers (alas, Beethoven, being dead, was not available).

There is a glossary of musical terms and links to other resources. In certain passages, listeners will be able to change tempo, pitch and instrumentation, using a string, woodwind or brass instrument to substitute for another. The BSO promises further releases in future seasons if financing can be found. Stay tuned.
