Lucasfilm has once again given an advanced look at the upcoming episode of The Clone Wars. This week, we’re being treated to the first of four parts in the Umbara arc.
By all accounts, this is going to be the highlight of this half of the season and I can’t wait to see more. (According to Dee Baker, voice of the Clones, Walter Murch is directing the next episode of this arc and I couldn’t be more excited.)
From the press release:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars returns this week with the launch of an explosive four-part story arc that puts the clone troopers on the ground of a hostile alien planet while under the command of a ruthless general, Jedi Pong Krell.
Tensions run high as the clones carry out Krell’s difficult orders and embark on the deadly mission to take the capital of Umbara in “Darkness on Umbara,” a new episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, airing at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, October 28th on Cartoon Network.
And does anyone else think those walkers look like Zentraedi Battlepods from Robotech? Or do I just have that on the brain?
