Is this still a rerun tonight and does anybody know when they will start running new episodes again?

Per SW.com Duchess of Mandalore is on tonight.     Wish they'd get back to new episodes.  Perhaps involving some bounty hunters; rising perhaps?

According to the DVR, next Friday (3/19) is a new episode. It's another Senate episode according to the summary. Padme playing detective to find out who killed Anaconda Far.

*yawn*  getting tired of the Duchess and Senate stuff already.  Let's get back to the supposed bounty hunter stuff already.

iTunes had this episode up yesterday for a brief time before they pulled it down. I downloaded it and it was pretty good. Folks will get a kick out of the Coruscant Inspector Tan Devo and their are a couple nice easter eggs in the episode as well. Phase II "ROTS" Clone Troopers and Mon Mothma

[tmanthegreat]

Yes, it was a good episode.  The inspector, to me, seemed like a character straight out of a 1940s detective film and was enjoyable, even if a tad annoying.  I liked some of the other tidbits as well, plus the developing story of the senatorial opposition to Palpatine and the war.  As we know, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa are among the eventual founders of the Rebel Alliance.  The formation of that resistance movement was a major element in the ROTS novel, but was deleted from the final version of that film, so its kind of cool to see it appearing in the Clone Wars series.

Again, I'm always fascinated by the level of story detail and maturity that goes into the CW series.  It is something that I am very sure flies past most of the younger and less informed fans of the show, but it conversely makes the show quite enjoyable (and more meaningful) to us older fans

I liked how they worked Palpatine's "reluctance" in.  Like the more militant members of the Senate are making him accept the new powers.  Palpatine needs Padme, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa because as long as he appears to be balanced between them and the more pro-war Senators, he can covertly seek greater power without appearing to a dictator.  I liked the episode.

Wow.  Some Season Two info on a certain character appearing in the cartoon - SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS.

I guessed it was coming at some point... interesting to see the pic.  I cannot wait to read what some folks will have to say...

[Jayson]

It's about time.

[Jesse James]

That's pretty cool...  I expected it too, at least in the cameo form, but I'm hoping for maybe a larger role of some sort.  I'm really digging that pic though.

[Keonobi]

Very cool.  Hopefully that character will be involved in a bigger story arc at the end of the season and not simply a teaser for next season!

[Brian]

Yeah, I sort of expected it as well, but it is pretty cool.  Can't really talk about it much more without going into spoilers, but I'm interested to see how this character is used, and if they will continue to be on the show.  They mentioned that the 2 part finale is airing April 23/30, so I guess we have about 6 episodes left.  For some reason, this season has seemed shorter (although it really isn't), but maybe that is just because of the breaks.

[iFett]

Yay!   

[tmanthegreat]

Very cool and about time!  Glad he's being voiced by the same actor from AOTC so there will be a sense of continuity.  Hopefully Fett will be used well

[Jesse James]

I'm pretty stoked over this right now...  I'm curious who his bruiser buddy is there with him.  Looks like a Klatooinian on roids.
