Tired of Clone Wars reruns? Have you seen the same handful of episodes enough times to mute the sound and recite the entire episode's dialogue by yourself word for word? Are you excited to know that the next season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars will start next Friday on October 2, 2009. I know I'm excited for the next season it looks like it's going to be kicking it up a notch this season and get a bit more intense and darker than the previous season.
But before that it looks like Cartoon Network will be having a mini marathon of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on this Sunday (Sept 27, 2009) with previews of the next season as well as what looks like some other things as well. OK, OK to me it looks like a really lame Star Wars fan made music video with lightsaber guitars. While I'm really excited about the new season I'm rather played out on the old season and really don't want to watch the mini marathon myself just for the little bit of new stuff they'll have for the next season and who knows maybe they're just showing the trailer for it as the preview. That doesn't mean that I haven't seen some new stuff like this 2nd youtube trailer.
So this is what I gathered from watching the trailer. It looks like to me they might actually have a season long plot instead of random episodic battles on random planets with no clear direction in the story. It'll be a nice change from last season, that's for sure. While it looks like it'll be mostly about the main bad guy Cad Bane the Bounty Hunter, who was introduced at the end of the last season, it will also toss in some good oldies like a shape changer bounty hunter like the one from the second movie and ZOMG! Mandalorine warriors, oh hell yes. It also looks like they'll be tossing a bit more relationship stuff at us as well including a possible past relationship for Old Ben. But I did like that little bit of foreshadowing with Ani and Padma when he sees her hugging another guy. Actually it looks like this season will be all around darker and more intense than the previous season which is another great thing maybe we'll see some good saber battles where something other than the robots get a sliced and diced. After all none of those bounty hunters are in the third movie. I'd love to see for a season ender Cane's hat smolding and cut in half floating to the ground with his body slumped on the ground in the fuzzied out in the background and the doer of the deed will be Ahsoka. Well I can wish anyways right.
