The Clone Wars: In the wake of ‘Gungan’…

And continuing slashy subtext week… Friday’s ‘The Gungan General’ featured Jedi in chains. And hanging from things. (And Jar Jar.) I hope it was good for you, girls. In other news, Dave Filioni throws out a crossover plot bunny with Staff of Ra!

People: Bonnie interviews Jim Cummings, who voices Weequay pirate chief Hondo Ohnaka.
Review: io9’s Graeme McMillan was not impressed.
Next week: ‘Jedi Crash,’ featuring Anakin, Ahsoka and the TV debut of Aayla Secura… As well as the first written by Katie Lucas.

The Clone Wars: Are you ready for ‘Gungan?’

It’s Friday, and you know what that means… In tonight’s new episode, ‘The Gungan General,’ Anakin and Obi-Wan finally get that whole reluctant alleigance with the enemy episode out of the way, with Jar-Jar riding to the rescue. I think I’m pretty safe in saying that hijinks ensue.

Also… The episode was written by Supernatural’s Julie Siege, and there’s a new webcomic, ‘Switch.’
Previously… Watch ‘Dooku Captured’. Or if you watch it in real time, check out the usual round of reviews/recaps from io9 (they’re back!) IGN, and Den of Geek and of course the review blog. Or, Crave has an entire midseason recap.
Podcast: The Force-Cast’s Clone Wars roundtable takes on ‘Dooku Captured.’
People: IF Magazine has an interview with Matthew Wood.

Bookspot’s Jay Tomio talks to author Joe Schreiber about his upcoming Star Wars horror novel, how he got the job, and his history with the franchise. I believe this is the first interview with Schreiber focusing solely on Deathtroopers.

In other EU news, the preview for Legacy #32 went up on Friday.

Matthew Stover and That Upcoming Luke Novel. There are only 21 days to Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, and Bookspot Central has a lengthy interview with Stover.

EUbits: Jedi Quest audio, interviews, comics

Surprise audiobooks! A couple days ago, Zee Zee spotted audiobook listings on the Random House catalog for the first four Jedi Quest books: Way of the Apprentice, The Trail of the Jedi, The Dangerous Games and The Master of Disguise. All four are listed as $9.99 unabridged digital downloads with spring release dates.

Audiobooks years after the fact? Plus, the original books were published by Scholastic, which isn’t a Random House imprint, though the audio versions are listed under Random House’s Imagination Studios. (Del Rey’s Star Wars audiobooks are Random House Audio.) Lucasbooks is clearly trying something new here, but we’re still awaiting some kind of confirmation…

Interviews, upcoming: NJOE wants your questions for Abel G. Peña, while Immortal Darkness is taking questions for Matt Stover and Kevin J. Anderson.
Comics: Preview Legacy #31, aka the Vector conclusion.

No new The Clone Wars tonight

Cartoon Network’s schedule shows that they’re rerunning the Malevolence arc tonight. Look for a new episode, “Cloak of Darkness,” next week, or just rewatch last week’s “Bombad Jedi.”
