   There is probably somewhere online that tells you about the first few   
   episodes. The Dorling Kindersly "The Clone Wars Ultimate Guide" book   
   also has some pages of information and images from what is presumably   
   the first episode or two (it definitely wasn't in the movie).   
      
   The movie was really about introducing Anakin's Padawan Ahsoka and   
   Dooku's assitant Ventress. The story for the movie was rescuing Jabba's   
   son and the movie finished with the Huttling returned. This likely   
   gives a good idea of how the TV series will be done as well - a series   
   of self-contained stories (one episode or two/three multi-part   
   episodes) with the underlying Clone Wars timeline and various   
   relationships continuing along in the background.   
      
   I'm unlikely to see all the episodes (if any, depending on which   
   network gets it and the timeslot), so I'll have to wait for the season   
   DVDs anyway.
