PREVIEW: The Clone Wars 5.9 – “A Necessary Bond”

I really can’t wait to see how this episode plays out, and knowing that it does, in fact, occur before the season premiere makes it all the more intriguing. And seeing Grievous back in action is always exciting. It also makes Hondo’s actions during the youngling arc that much more understandable.

Here’s the official synopsis:

In the conclusion to this four-part story arc, General Grievous launches a full-scale attack on the pirate base on Florrum in “A Necessary Bond,” airing this Saturday, November 24th at 9:30am ET/PT on Cartoon Network.

Episode Trivia:

  • This episode answers what exactly happened to Hondo Ohnaka’s base, which was seen destroyed in “Revival,” the season opener. Originally, “Revival” was planned to air later in the season, in proper chronological order, but it was moved to the start in order to better showcase the Darth Maul storyline. In “Revival,” Hondo describes his base being overrun by General Grievous.
