Lucas and Filoni
Discuss The Clone Wars Season Two |
The Official Star Wars Site has a
great article with George Lucas and Dave Filoni as they discuss The Clone
Wars Season Two!
What surprises can viewers expect from the second season of The Clone
Wars?
GEORGE LUCAS: The first season was similar to Episode IV, in that it
was fairly light and the conflict was straightforward. With the second season,
we're going deeper into the stories and the character dynamics. The progression
is a lot like the difference between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes
Back.
DAVE FILONI: Our heroes are in the middle of a war, and things are not
necessarily going well for them. Things are getting more complex. The Jedi
aren't soldiers, but they've been forced into that role and it's definitely
having an effect on them. It's taking its toll on everyone, and the enemy has
some new tricks to make things difficult for the Jedi and the clones. So far,
we've seen a pretty standard war, with the two sides pitted against each other.
But we're going to see a different kind of adversary, posing a different kind of
threat. We're going to make things really tough on the heroes. The war's
breeding a new kind of villain. They're bounty hunters and mercenaries who are
taking advantage of the turmoil to make a big score. They're bad, bad guys, and
they don't play by the rules. We got a taste at the end of the first season with
Cad Bane, but we're going to see a lot more of that. They're a resource for
taking out Jedi -- and they're good at their jobs. Things are going to get
ugly.
Be sure to read the rest of the interview!
