I will have this video available in HD for download in the Video Games Scenes section next week. Enjoy!

• The Season Premiere features Clones training on Kamino. Shaak Ti will be training them. Filoni utilized unused concept art from Attack of the Clones.
• Production of Season 3 is more than two-thirds complete. Season 4 is in production with discussions for Season 5. Clone Wars will be on air as long as there is viewership.
• Lucas comes up with story ideas for each episode. Filoni and the writers fill in the rest. When it comes to the (EU) Licensed Universe - Filioni said: "Everything comes from George and, as much as I'm a fan of the EU, I think he'd want to just show you something new."
• Filoni said Clone Wars Mandalore is like post WW II Germany and that Pre Vizsla (Jon Favreau) maybe the Mandalorian Hitler of the Star Wars Universe.
• When asked if Boba gets his armor - Filoni answered: "Well, he gets it at some point, doesn't he?"
• The videogame Republic Commando's Delta Squad will make an appearance: "Boss, Fixer, Sev, and Scorch"
• Ahmed Best will be back as the voice of Jar Jar Binks.

I am looking forward to seeing Republic Commando's Delta Squad and where this season will go. Each year gets better and better! Who is Delta Squad you ask? See the image below.

• There will be a third character book. Maybe for Summer 2012.
• Essential Guide to Warfare is about halfway done writing.

Really love the Essential book series.

• Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is getting a comic along with the game. Boba Fett will appear in both. It looks like Boba versus Vader may happen in this comic, with an image of Vader injured on screen.
• Coming out in 2011: Crimson Empire 3 scheduled for March-6 issues.
• There will be another Dark Times series next year, being worked on right now.
• Ewoks, Droids, ALL of the UK material, the 3D comics, eventually DHC will reprint EVERY Star Wars comic before they had the license.
• Digital content- "We're working with Lucasfilm to ramp up digital offerings." "More announcements forthcoming for our digital comics overall and Star Wars in particular."

There was a bittersweet tinge to Kurtz’s voice, and it’s no surprise. This year is the 30th anniversary of “The Empire Strikes Back,” the “Star Wars” sequel that many fans consider the pinnacle moment in a franchise that has pulled in $16 billion in box office and merchandising. But 1980 was also the year that Kurtz and Lucas realized the Jedi universe wasn’t big enough for the both of them.

He added: “The first film and ‘Empire’ were about story and character, but I could see that George’s priorities were changing.”

Be sure to read it all. This is a great article and a must read!
