Upcoming Clone Wars Episodes

The latest issue of Sci-Fi Magazine has a preview of a two-part Clone Wars Episode. If you are trying to stay spoiler free you may not want to read on.

Spoilers - Highlight to read:

The worlds of Star Trek and Star Wars collide when George Takei lends his big basso voice to The Clone Wars. The former Sulu will play Neimoidian general Lok Durd, a nasty, power-crazed tub o'lard who creates a form of nuclear warfare that destroys all living matter but is harmless to the droids of the Separatist army. The kickoff of this two-parter (January 16 and 23) finds Jedi heroes Ahsoka and Anakin crash-landing on the grassy planet Maridun. There they meet a race of pacifists known as the Lurmens who won't take sides in the war and refuse to shelter the Jedi from the approaching Separatist forces, even though Durd plans to test his new weapon on their planet.

Dave Filoni states: "These two episodes raise a very interesting question about the Jedi: Can they still be considered keepers of the peace now that they are soldiers in war?"

Lok Durd will be a new character in the Star Wars Universe.

Clone Wars-No-Prisoners.jpg (101847 bytes)The Official Star Wars Site has provided the first look at the cover art of No Prisoners, a Clone Wars novel by Karen Traviss due out in trade paperback in May 2009.

"A training session turns into a full-scale hostile action when Anakin asks Rex to get Ahsoka out of his hair for a while. Rex, Ahsoka, and a squad of young clone troopers new to Torrent Company join Captain Gilad Pellaeon's assault ship Leveler, fresh out of refit, for a 72-hour acquaint. But an emergency tests their training as Leveler responds to a call for support from Master Djinn Altis -- leader of a dissident Jedi sect. The Leveler crew must rescue a captured Republic agent, whose undercover mission has been compromised. And for the first time, Ahsoka learns that war against the Separatists isn't just clone troopers against battle droids, and that sometimes the enemies are real living beings."
