The official Clone Wars Facebook page is bringing back the video segments where Dave Filoni answers some fan questions about the upcoming season of “The Clone Wars.” In the first two installments, Dave answers some questions about if we will see more of the other members of the Jedi order in future episodes, and if Rex will have a happy or sad ending to his story. You can check out the videos below for his answers.
Definitely looking forward to more of these videos, as well the return of his video commentaries for the new episodes of season 5.
We’re getting closer and closer to the season premiere of ” The Clone Wars” next week, and to help build the excitement for the upcoming premiere, Lucasfilm has sent us two great videos that will help pass the time until the season premiere episode airs! The videos give us a look at the red carpet premiere that was held at Celebration VI, with interviews from the cast and crew, as well a scene from the premiere episode that features Darth Maul and Savage Opress.
You can check out the clip of the season 5 premiere in the above video, and below you can check out the video and photos from the red carpet premiere at Celebration VI.
The season 5 premiere episode “Revival” airs Saturday September 29th at 9:30am ET/PT on Cartoon network, and is definitely looking like an episode that is not to be missed!
USA Today has an exclusive look at a scene from the upcoming season premiere of “The Clone Wars,” where we see Darth Maul about to show Savage Opress why he’s the master! You can check out the clip at USAToday.com in the link below, as well as a new interview with Dave Filoni.
We’re now just a little under two weeks away from the season 5 premiere of “The Clone Wars,” and to wet our appetites even more for the new season, Lucasfilm has releases this cool promo image for season 5 titled “Who Will Fall?
This image was first seen at Celebration VI, but now that it’s been released for everyone to see, there will no doubt be plenty of speculation as to which of the characters in the image will “fall” this upcoming season. I personally think there will be several characters from this image that we will see meet their fate. And while the word fall doesn’t necessarily mean death for certain characters, I don’t think every character in this image is going to survive to season 6. But regardless of who survives, we’re definitely in for a game changing season, and I just can’t wait for it to begin! Only a few more days left!
During the original airings of the first three seasons of “The Clone Wars,” the episodes during those seasons had a habit of jumping all over the series’ timeline, where we would sometimes see episodes in season three that were actually prequels to episodes from season 1. While this my have caused for some confusion as to when certain stories take place in the overall Clone Wars timeline, we will finally be able to see the story of the Clone Wars play out in chronological order, when the series starts airing in syndication this fall.
Over at the official Star Wars Blog, Leland Chee (keeper of the Holocron at Lucasfilm) revealed that when the series starts airing in syndication, the first episode to be shown will be “Cat And Mouse” from season 2, which is the episode that takes place first chronologically in “The Clone Wars” timeline. It will then be followed by “Hidden Enemy” from season 1, and then “Clone Cadets” and “Supply Lines” from season 3.
I think this is a great way for the series to air in syndication, as it will be a fresh way to watch these episodes on T.V. again, and it will be nice to see just when exactly all these episodes took place in the overall Clone Wars timeline.
Be sure to check out the official Star Wars blog for more information on “The Clone Wars” timeline with these episodes, as well as information as to how much time has passed since the end of “Attack of the Clones,” to when the first story of “The Clone Wars” series takes place. Also be sure to check back with official Star Wars blog for future updates on “The Clone Wars” timeline, when more episodes continue to air in syndication.
For fans who live in the San Fransisco area, there’s going to be a special early screening of the season 5 premiere on September 21st, right at Lucasfilm! Details on how to go to the event can be found in the image below.
I cant think of a better place to see the season 5 premier than at Lucasfilm, so anyone who wants to go better act fast, as I’m sure tickets will go quickly!
A really great Clone Wars Press Conference was held at Celebration VI, where several members of the cast and crew, which included Dave Filoni, Joel Aron, Ashley Eckstein, Matt Lanter, and Sam Witwer, talk about what we can expect to see in season 5, and now you can watch a video of that whole press conference, right here at Frontlines!
There were some great topics discussed at this press conference, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the video, which will no doubt get you more pumped up for season 5!
For everyone who couldn’t attend the Frontlines 100th Episode panel at Celebration VI, you can now watch the whole panel in it’s entirety in the video above!
So even though it won’t be quite the same as being there in person, this is a great way to experience the landmark 100th episode of Frontlines: The Clone Wars Podcast!
On September 11th 2012, a special 88-minuet directors cut of the 4-part Darth Maul arc from season 4 of “The Clone Wars,” will be coming to DVD exclusively at Target stores! Here is the official announcement from Lucasfilm:
[blockquote cite=]The dramatic return of Darth Maul has been one of the most talked about developments in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the evil Sith Lord will continue to wreak havoc in the forthcoming Season Five of the animated series. Witness his resurrection in a special feature-length Directors’ Cut presentation of his animated debut, coming exclusively to DVD at Target stores on September 11th.[/blockquote]
Watching the whole Darth Maul arc cut together as one feature length presentation sounds like a great way to watch these episodes! But since this set won’t be released on Blu-Ray, those wondering if the complete season 4 Blu-Ray set will contain the directors cut of these episodes, it has been confirmed in the latest issue of Star Wars Insider that the season 4 Blu-Ray set will include several directors cut episodes, including some from the Darth Maul arc. Though I don’t believe the episodes will be edited together as one feature length presentation like this DVD set will.
This DVD set looks to be a great way to kick off a month of great Clone Wars action, as we eagerly await the season premiere on September 29th!
