PREVIEWS: The Clone Wars 5.17 – “Sabatoge”

After the events of the last arc, I’m not sure how it could be topped. Dave Filoni that it promises to do it and I can’t wait to see how. And with four Alfred Hitchcock based title names, how can you go wrong?

From the press release:

In the first of this four-part episode arc, Anakin and Ahsoka are called back from the frontlines to investigate a deadly explosion at the Jedi Temple. Clues surface that a Jedi might have been responsible for the blast in “Sabotage,” Saturday, February 9th at 9:30am ET/PT on Cartoon Network.

Trivia:
· The four episodes of this arc are all named after Alfred Hitchcock films: Sabotage (1936), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), To Catch a Thief (1955) and The Wrong Man (1955).

· “I’m afraid one can become the other,” says Anakin, referring to past political idealists who have betrayed the Jedi, including Count Dooku and General Krell from Season Four. It’s ironic, given his future.

· Russo-ISC’s speech pattern, name, and habit of flipping his visor to punctuate his speech are all nods to David Caruso’s role in CSI Miami.

· In addition to an image of a crossed-out clone trooper, the Temple protester signs said “The Jedi are corrupt,” “Stop cloning violence”

And be sure to contact Disney and make they know you want to see the show next season, too.
