The Clone Wars has an official kick-off date.  Since the announced line-up had Batman: Brave and the Bold on it, I’m assuming it’s premiering as well.

In any case, mark October 3rd on your calendars.

This is going to be exceedingly excellent.

Here’s an episode rundown for the premiere:

    9:00 p.m.   Star Wars: The Clone Wars (p) "AMBUSH" Jedi Master Yoda is on
     a secret mission to forge a treaty with the King of the strategic system
     of Toydaria when his ship is ambushed by Count Dooku. Yoda and three
     clone troopers must face off against Count Dooku's dreaded assassin
     Ventress and her massive droid army to prove the Jedi are strong enough
     to protect the king and his people from the forces of the war.

    9:30 p.m.   Star Wars: The Clone Wars (p) "RISING MALEVOLENCE" Creating
     panic throughout the galaxy, a devastating Separatist mystery weapon
     terrorizes the clone Starfleet.  Anakin and Ahsoka race to save Jedi
     Master Plo Koon and his clone troopers in time.

As much as I loved the Clone Wars movie, I think this stuff will be much easier for the average viewer to handle in shorter serial format that TV offers. And the stories listed above sound great.

Color me excited.
