What cartoon ranks #1 in its time slot and #1 with all boy demos all across the board? That's right…it's Star Wars: The Clone Wars! And that kind of over-achieving gets rewarded with a second season.

In a press release today, Cartoon Network announced that it has picked up SW:TCW for Season 2. "Star Wars: The Clone Wars is like nothing else on television and has delivered for us on all levels," said Stuart Snyder, President/COO Turner Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media. "It has helped us launch a great new night of action-adventure on Fridays and build on our dominance with boys."

"We're trying to push the envelope even further in the second season," said George Lucas. "In the features, I focused on telling the story of the Skywalker family. With The Clone Wars I'm exploring far beyond that and we barely scratched the surface in the first season. It's exciting to be able to take people to all these new places in the Star Wars galaxy."
