I haven’t done any reviews for The Clone Wars series since the movie was released. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t want to step on my friend Michael Cohen’s toes or because I just haven’t thought about it. However, after tonight’s episode, I can’t help but geek out about it.
The Super-Mega Episode, encompassing the last three episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars!!! Join host, Michael Cohen as he recaps the episodes Ambush, Rising Malevolence, and Shadow of Malevolence, reports the news, and previews next weeks episode. There’s some collecting news too! All in all, a pretty exciting, extra long, fun filled episode of Frontlines: The Clone Wars Podcast!
I’ve gotta apologize for not having a new episode up yet…I just finished recording it, and as I hit stop Audacity had the audacity to crash on me before I could save, so I lost the whole second half of the episode!!! So instead, expect Episode 4 to be up by Sunday, and to be a MEGA sized episode, encompassing both episodes from the premiere, as well as tonight’s episode, Shadow of Malevolence! Canna’ you beat that? (Sorry…that was an incredibly shameless Watto reference…)
Starwars.com has added several HUGE updates today to coincide with the premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars!
Perhaps most exciting of all, Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be available to download on iTunes! Yes, that’s right, you’ll be able to download episodes of The Clone Wars each week! You’ll be able to purchase these episodes for $1.99 each, or $39.99 for the season pass. Each episode will be available the day following it’s initial air date, so the first two episodes, “Ambush” and “Rising Malevolence” will be available tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 4th.
As well as this, free content will be available online, in the form of a half-hour behind the scenes special on the making of The Clone Wars available on iTunes today, and an online Webcomic. The Clone Wars Webcomic has launched and you can find it here. The webcomic is illustrated by none other than Official Star Wars artist, Tom Hodges, who is in fact a member of our own Facebook Group. The two stories available lead in to the new episodes of The Clone Wars, airing tonight. Hopefully we’ll be able to look forward to new stories each week, leading in to new episodes.
And as a huge suprise, The Holonet News has returned! In it’s previous incarnation, The Holonet News was an “In-Universe” website that brought Star Wars Fans news taking place in the Star Wars Universe, leading up to the events of the Clone Wars. Rumours had been circulating for the past couple of weeks that The Holonet News would be returning, but in what form nobody knew, until now. Available as of today on Starwars.com and iTunes(although I couldn’t find it in the Canadian iTunes Store…), is a new MP3 episode of The Holonet News. This is huge news, as Starwars.com has never really had a podcast. The show will continue the “In-Universe” theme of it’s namesake, and each episode may take a different format, from Round Table Discussions, to Breaking News, to whatever they can come up with! You can download that here.
We’ll post a link to all of the content available in the iTunes Store as soon as they become available.
That’s right! Star Wars: The Clone Wars premieres tonight on Cartoon Network at 9:00pm, and they’re getting things started with two back-to-back episodes! Airing first is “Ambush”, where Jedi Master Yoda attempts negotiations with the Toydarians, while Dooku’s apprentice, Asajj Ventriss disrupts them with a droid attack! Following that is the second episode, “Rising Malevolence” where Anakin and Ashoka have to save Jedi Master Plo Koon and his clone troopers after the Seperatist Army uses their devastating new weapon.
