Lucasfilm was kind enough to give us a sneak peak at the next episode of The Clone Wars.
From their blurb:
After groundquakes have devastated the planet Aleen, a Republic relief effort arrives, including the 104th battalion of clone troopers along with droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. When the native Aleena’s pleas go unheard, it becomes the duty of the droids to embark on a surreal journey through Aleena’s subterranean world to save the planet, in “Mercy Mission” a new episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, airing at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, October 7th on Cartoon Network.
The clip looks like a mix between Temple of Doom and Return of the Jedi for, I think, obvious reasons.
I really like that Threepio is being used as a translator, though I’m not sure why he’s out on loan from Padme. That could be an interesting story. This reminds a lot of the early episodes that Katie Lucas wrote with Jedi Crash.
I think these episodes are fun and I’m glad to see the Clones taking center stage again.
