Clone Wars Season Two Starts Tonight

 

 

It's been a goodly long while, but the new season of The Clone Wars starts tonight (October 2nd) on Cartoon Network. 

 

While the first season of Clone Wars was a little uneven at times, overall I was really happy with it.  For every really crappy episode that was made, there was at least one or two really good ones as well.  On the whole, I am happy we have this series to enjoy and am greatly looking forward to the second season beginning, especially since this season looks to be aiming for a darker tone than the first one had.  It's being titled Rise of the Bounty Hunters and it will be featuring the new character Cad Bane along with a whole host of evil mercenaries that will be giving the Jedi and the Republic all sorts of problems.

 

Maybe Luscasfilm realized that the core audience of the show was the 18 and up crowd, not the 8 to 15 audience they were waiting for, and are altering the show a bit to cater more to the adult crowd.  I really hope that's what's happening.  Either way though, I'll be watching the show this weekend and am greatly looking forward to more weekly installments of Star Wars goodness.
