It’s Friday, blah blah blah The Clone Wars

“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?

Concept art and cut scenes from The Clone Wars DVD

io9 goes inside The Clone Wars DVD so we don’t have to. Also roaming around online is a ‘complete list’ of titles for season 1 of the TV show, at least some of which seem to have originated on the DVD.

Today in The Clone Wars: Droids, droids, droids

Cartoon Network has added a Saturday morning showing of The Clone Wars to their schedule. Also at the link, writer Kevin Campbell talks about Artoo’s bits and pieces. Plus, the ‘Duel of the Droids’ preview.

io9 was less than impressed with ‘Downfall Of A Droid,’ while IGN gives it a 7.2.
And here’s another Clone Wars DVD review at DVD Talk.

EUbits: James Luceno, Sue Rostoni, TOR novel, TCW

EU Cantina has posted their interview with James Luceno. Topics include writing, Millennium Falcon, Brian Daley, and the future of the EU. They’re also taking questions for their next interview, with Lucasfilm Licensing Executive editor Sue Rostoni.

Upcoming: …Speaking of, Sue made a rare weekend appearance on StarWars.com this afternoon to confirm that there will be some sort of novel tie-in for The Old Republic MMO, though the details are still up in the air. She also touches on the Fate of the Jedi covers.
Comics: Buy The Clone Wars movie at Target, get a free variant-cover copy of Shipyards of Doom.
LOL N00B: io9 mines some general Star Wars cluelessness to make a case for the Nagai. Thirty years and countless sources of EU, and they latch onto …albino space elves? Bravo.

More on Rebel Force, new comic previews

Want to see The Clone Wars internationally? Sorry…

Fans outside the U.S.A. can’t watch The Clone Wars on StarWars.com, sadly. Canadian fans have CTV, but our friends outside of North America still have issues… And unfortunately it’s a situation outside of LFL control. Here’s what Pablo (Pabawan) had to say on a fan’s blog:

Where it airs is determined whether or not a broadcaster in a particular territory has picked up the show. Likewise, StarWars.com has to respect the territory of international broadcasters who did pick up the show, which is why access is limited as to who sees what online. It’s not a satisfactory answer, I know, but those are the realities of broadcast television.

Ahh, television industry. (And yes, I’ve heard there are ways around such restrictions, but you’re not going to learn them from us.)

The Clone Wars: It must be Fri- opps

Remember, there’s no The Clone Wars tonight! If you have a craving, you can watch last week’s ‘Rookies,’ I suppose.
