Attention, padawans: there's a disturbance in the force and I can exclusively reveal and break the news that it is because the 5th season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be starting on The Cartoon Network (DStv 301) on Monday 1 April at 19:55 (South African time) - and there's another massive surprise!
The Cartoon Network tells me that not only will Star Wars: The Clone Wars start on Monday 1 April, the phenomenally great 5th season will unspool with brand-new episodes daily on weekdays!
That means that Star Wars: The Clone Wars will run with new episodes Mondays to Fridays for 5 weeks - probably to quickly burn through the season before Turner Broadcasting System International and The Cartoon Network loses the rights to the LucasFilm animation series which is very likely moving to Disney XD (DStv 304) from next year for its 6th season.
The 5th season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars ended in America this past Saturday. Unbelievably, must-watch, absolutely awesome television masquerading as a "kids" animation show.
The 5th season of the fantastic story has several linked episode story arcs and quite a lot of wonderful exposition ranging from how Jedi's get their light sabres to what eventually happens to the woman Obi-Wan Kenobi loved (yeah. not kids' stuff).
