They are also for grasping. And

Obi-Wan fails to win ANOTHER lightsaber battle, this time against a Sith wanabee. At least he fails to kill her. Man, just how lucky did he get with Anakin?

What's up with the Warner Bros. thing at the start? WTF?

It looks ordinary.

How long until every second of Anakin's life during the three years between AOTC and ROTS is accounted for? And it's all HIGH ADVENTURE!

This is why 9-year-old Anakin was stupid, and the 3-Clone War fought against droids was stupid.

I mean, haven't the novels and comics pretty much covered that whole period by now? And now we're supposed to believe that Anakin had a fucking Padawan?!

[shrug] I didn't follow the comics/novels of the Clone Wars. Maybe, maybe not. I see that Lucas thinks it reasonable the Jedi draft kids into war as apprentices and that everyone gets an apprentice themselves straight out of graduation?

Ugg. There's a new Traviss novel coming out to accompany this latest merchandising binge.

More number games, you think?

I wonder how much of this new Clone Wars...thing...is actually written by Lucas though.

Ugh, I can't believe they gave that bitch another novel.

He is credited with the story on IMDB. I don't know how reliable that site is though.

And GL doesn't care about the comics and novels that have covered Anakin. He will do what he wants. If he erases some of their info or just them all together, oh well.

I didn't see much wrong with the trailer, although I'm still getting used to the animation style. I imagine, considering the sheer volume of material they'll have to insert into the canon for the show, some earlier bits of Clone Wars EU will get bumped out or at least seriously retconned.

Still, as is, it does seem like Anakin and Obi-Wan spent an awful lot of time and energy dealing with Ventriss. She's apparently one of the principle antagonists in this show, as well as the original Clone Wars, several novels, and is a force throughout the Clone Wars-era comic line.

On the one hand, the undulating squid-ship does not bode well.

On the other... was that a Mandalorian getting force-choked? About bloody time.

Why?

The only thing I dont like is the whole "droids walk in formation while firing their guns."

You mean just like they did when marching into the Genosian arena in AotC?

Didn't like it then either.

Anyone please correct me if i'm wrong but, WB owns Cartoon Network, which will be showing the episodes in the US.

Really? I felt sorry for him.
I always considered Order 66 as something akin to brainwashing - an order mentally conditioned so deeply that the clones simply didn't have any choice, for the most part.

Still looks decent.

I like the clone's new toy, the mobile artillery gun.

3 pics of the same damn ship, only from different angles!

EDIT: BTW, are they using the old helmets, the ones from AOTC?

Those look like the AOTC helmets. I'm guessing this takes place between episodes 20 and 21 of the Tartakovsky series.
