“Duel of the Droids” airs on Cartoon Network tonight. (Preview with the latest webcomic, Discount.) Don’t forget the new Saturday morning reruns.

• Last week: Watch “Downfall of a Droid” on StarWars.com.

• Fannish: The ForceCast roundtables “Downfall of a Droid,” while elsewhere on TFN they’re gearing up for a Henry Gilroy interview… And taking questions from fans.
  
• Gaming: TCW tie-ins Jedi Alliance and Lightsaber Duels came out this week… Alliance has fun facts.

• Rumor: Actress Jaime King (Sin City, Fanboys) doing a voice later in the season?
  

• Dave Filoni focuses on Gha Nachkt in the episode commentary, while Pablo interviews Ashley Eckstein.

• Jedi Alliance: A two-part walkthrough and a commercial for the Nintendo DS game.
• Or just try your hand at Clones vs. Droids or Path of the Jedi.

The third episode of The Clone Wars, ‘Shadow of Malevolence,’ is on tonight. (We won’t be throwing a poll this time.) UPDATE: Writer Steve Melching talks about it.

• Watch online: Last week’s episodes, ‘Ambush’ and ‘Rising Malevolence‘ are now up on StarWars.com.

• Games: Get a peek at the lovely ladies of The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance, the Nightsisters. There’s a trailer at LucasArts.com for those of you enamored of ‘stylus-driven action.’ (Least sexy game term, or least sexy game term ever?)
• Databank: New entries on Rys, Jek, Thire and Toydarian. (Is that last one new, or just updated?)

The video game clip that showed up in Entertainment Weekly yesterday is now up at StarWars.com, or watch it above. LucasArts has launched a new site for the games.

• io9 has several interview clips with Dave Filoni, including a question on ‘clone romance.’ Sorry slashers, I really doubt you’ll see romances between the clones. In any case: Been there, done that, rolled my eyes at the flame wars.

• IGN has a new video clip, Obi-Wan’s Landing Party. (via)
• Crave Online has an interview with George.
• Also: CNBC, The Daily Telegraph, E! Online.

Nab the widget for your own site. If only it was scalable…

Lucasfilm pushes the ‘girl power’ angle with Ashoka, though I’m not sure that headline is the inference they’re looking for. Speaking of our latest leading lady, there was a TCW segment with Ashley Eckstein on Entertainment Tonight the other day, but I’m not finding it on their site. Why you gotta be like that, ET? It’s 2008, and you are syndicated: Embrace the web already!

Less frustrating: TFN has some sample pages from the new Visual Guide, while MTV previews the movie/tv series’ upcoming game tie-ins.
