Prepare yourselves, Clone Wars fans: ‘Bombad Jedi’ airs tonight. But there is hope – it’s scripted by Kevin Rubio of Troops and Tag and Bink fame.

• Preview: The episode is teased with a new comic, Departure, and the second outing of the Holonet News audio.

• Nice try: io9 also has a clip and asks, will Jar-Jar die? Well, he does show up in Revenge of the Sith, albeit briefly…
• Last week: Watch ‘Duel of the Droids’ online.

Well, that was quick:

HoloNet News returns online in an all-new incarnation. Now, regular installments will keep galactic news junkies abreast of news and opinions from the far-away galaxy, but rather than read the news, you can hear it.

Hrm. Download the first episode now.

Hey fanboys, Pablo has a tease for you. Or, well, an announcement. Please hold your squee until the end of the entry.

• Insider: Rebelscum reports that the latest issue is shipping now; cover promises ‘the essential Expanded Universe.’ Riiiight.

• Holonet News: Pablo shares the original pitch for the pre-Clone Wars news source.
• RPG: StarWars.com gives us a look at WOTC’s Threats of the Galaxy, which comes out next month.

Starwars.com has an interview/article about Joe Corroney, who illustrates Holonet News and worked for WEG. He has an official site where you can see more of his artwork.
