Amazon is now accepting sign-ups for for notification of pre-orders for The Clone Wars: The Complete Season Three on DVD and Blu-ray. There is no date and there is no price, though it’s pretty safe to assume the pricing and release pattern will match the first two season, with an October release date and in the $30-$50 zone, depending on where you buy.
The biggest thing of note is the artwork they have accompanying the sign up. It’s in the same style as the last two seasons, but features blue coloring and a very determined looking Anakin. It’s the new model Anakin, too.

Next on the list for The Clone Wars update is from The EU Cantina. They were at the Star Tours premiere in Florida this morning and got a chance to wrestle some tidbits out of Dave Filoni.
On the return of Savage Oppress and Asajj Ventress in Season 4: it is safe to say that they will return.
On the appearance of Darth Maul in future episodes: Dave could not confirm, and commented upon Maul’s rather obvious death in The Phantom Menace, but warned that our heroes would be in for big trouble in the future.
Filoni also confirmed (in a roundabout way) that Admiral Ackbar was indeed in the trailer for Season Four shown at the end of Season Three.
MandyBu, from TheForce.Net, was also in attendance and said that the subtitle for Season Four would be “Battle Lines,” according to Filoni.
I think the biggest tidbit here is the non-confirmation confirmation of Darth Maul’s appearance. I, for one, am ready to see more Darth Maul. As much as I loved The Phantom Menace I felt he was short changed. Add to that the fact that every time Filoni and crew brought in an element of Phantom Menace in Season Three it was riveting, then yes: I’m all for Darth Maul and Savage Oppress on The Clone Wars.
