Over at the StarWars.com blog, Leland Chee takes a look at where and how ‘Cat and Mouse,’ ‘Hidden Enemy,’ ‘Clone Cadets’ and ‘Supply Lines’ fit into the Expanded Universe and Clone Wars chronology – or at least around Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars movie.

Last week, we reported that the first two seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars was headed into syndication. Today, Holocron keeper Leland Chee tweeted that the syndicated version will be aired in chronological order:

First two episodes to air are “Cat and Mouse” (S216)and “Hidden Enemy”(S116).Mull that over for a little bit.#tcwsyndication

At least on the Holocron’s local TV station. A check of the my local TV listings also show my local station starting with the same two episodes, both of which happen just before the events of The Clone Wars film. Check your local listings, most likely for the weekend of September 15 and 16.

Will this be a soft way to introduce the proper timeline for the first two seasons (which did skip around a bit as the show was getting its bearings)? But since a good chunk of the first half of season three was also forming prequels and sequel to existing episodes, it seems that the syndication airing timeline is only a piece of the puzzle to a final chronological order.

Coming off of the announcement at Star Wars Celebration VI that season five of The Clone Wars is switching air times from Friday nights to Saturday mornings (9:30 a.m.), StarWars.com has announced that seasons one and two are going into domestic syndication for the first time.

Season Five starts on September 29, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. on Cartoon Network
