Star Wars: Clone Wars Series Four Details

Star Wars: The Clone Wars will return to the small screen later this year, and at ComicCon fans got their first glimpse at what to expect from the fourth season...

• A three-part underwater story opens the season, featuring a battle between the Mon Calamari (i.e. "It's a trap!") and Quarrens.
• AT-RTs from Revenge of the Sith will feature this series, so we may yet be getting closer to the timeline of Episode III...
• Umbara, a planet long mentioned in the lore of the saga but never seen, will be the centrepoint of one battle in the war.
• One scene between C-3PO and R2-D2 will be very remniscent of their first appearance in the original Star Wars, with clever dialogue references!
• Clone Troopers now pilot Headhunters, early versions of X-Wings.
• The Nightsisters will return, suggesting the feud between Dooku and Asaji Ventress will become deeper and more dangerous.
• A new Jedi called General Krell, of the same race as bartender Dexter Jetster, will appear.
• Ahsoka may find out about Anakin's marraige to Padme...what will be the consequences?
• The events of the Mortis trilogy were just the beginning for Anakin's turmoil this season.
• We got a glimpse of someone who may yet be a ressurected Darth Maul, and Savage Oppress will find the truth behind this very soon!
• The risk of Jedi attachment will be explored further.

With the War nearing its fictional end chronologically, hopefully Clone Wars Series Four will exploit its darker tones and if necessary send the show out with a bang. Look out for its return this Autumn on Sky Movies.
