The German affiliate that runs “The Clone Wars” sent out a press release last week announcing that the Bonus Content we’ve all been coveting so much is going to hit German screens February 15, 2014.
It comes as no surprise that Germany would get it first, as sources at Lucasfilm confirm that the show did better there than anywhere else in the world. Since they liked it the hardest, they’ll be getting it first. Jedi News broke the story that the German channel SuperRTL (which airs “The Clone Wars”) sent out a press release announcing the date and the details of the episodes.
By all accounts, this news is legitimate. Germany, at this rate, really will be getting “The Clone Wars” before we do, though that could change.
Club Jade went further and directed me to translations of the details of the episodes that will be airing:
State Unknown
Clone cadet Tup is suffering from a severe neurological disorder that causes the death of a Jedi master. Trying to find the motives for the assassination, Anakin escorts Tup back to Kamino for examination, but then they are attacked by the Separatists…
Conspiracy
Clone cadet Tup is undergoing a medical examination in the sterile laboratories of Kamino to find the motives for his shocking attack on the Jedi master. For the examination to succeed, cadet Fives must enter the depth of Tup’s mind, where he finds a secret code manipulation in the cloning program of the Republic.
Fight or Flight
Clone cadet Tup is transported back to Coruscant, where his body is to be examined by the chancellor’s personal physician. Cadet Fives is also investigating the matter and discovers that a modified code has been hidden in the minds of all the clones…
Orders
Fives is still trying to find answers regarding the mysterious actions of clone cadet Tup. Hoping to personally speak with chancellor Palpatine, Fives finds himself suddenly accused of trying to murder the chancellor and decides to make a run for it.
An Old Friend
While on a mercy mission to the planet Scipio, Padmé Amidala’s’ old flame, Rush Clovis, gets in touch with her asking for help. Having made a stand against the corruption on his planet, Clovis has now become the target of the bounty hunter Embo. Together with Padmé, he is now trying to leave his planet and get help…
The Rise Of Clovis
Back on Coruscant, Clovis strikes a dubious deal to becomes the leader of his clan which is deeply mired in corruption. Anakin doesn’t trust Clovis, causing tensions in his relationship to Padmé.
Crisis At The Heart
Having made a deal with Count Dooku, Clovis finds himself drawn into the war. Since it was him who brought the war to his home planet of Scipio, the Republic is now forced to intervene.
The Disappeared (Part 1)
The peaceful world of Bardotta finds itself threatened by an ancient prophecy. Since now of all times its spiritual leaders have vanished, Bardotta’s people ask their representative in the senate for help. And Jar Jar Binks indeed manages to convince Jedi master Mace Windu that this matter is of grave importance…
Other episode titles include: The Disappeared (Part 2,) The Lost One, Voices, Destiny and Sacrifice. That gives us 12 episodes. Will there be more?
That is anyone’s guess.
I’m hearing that plans are shaping up for an American release in short order, but details weren’t able to be disclosed. Star Wars fans are rabid enough to get their hands on these episodes as soon as they air somewhere, so Lucasfilm and Disney must be scrambling to get details in order to show it to American audiences.
I would say you should expect news sooner rather than later, hopefully within another month.
Because, let’s be honest, the bonus content can’t come soon enough.
