Great episode last night. The last several week's have just been fantastic. Makes me wish they could do the live action series with this type of writing and action.

Seriously. What's really remarkable about the last 3 story arc and this one is it has many elements not often considered part of the STAR WARS universe but it works great and is very compelling.

Great last part to this trilogy. This story was worthy of a full movie. Loved it!

OMG.. this brought tears to my eyes.. I'm such a dork... I'm putting it all in the spoiler tag as some folks may not want to know what's coming up on the season finale of Season 3

[spoiler]"Though Lucasfilm Animation is keeping specific plot details under wraps, the "Clone Wars" finale, scheduled for April 1, will see Chewbacca cross paths with Ahsoka Tano, the Jedi apprentice to Anakin Skywalker (a k a the future Darth Vader). To prepare for these episodes, titled "Padawan Lost" and "Wookiee Hunt," the "Clone Wars" supervising director Dave Filoni and his team of animators and artists delved into the Lucasfilm archives for original Chewbacca reference materials and costumes, and invited Mr. Mayhew to their studios in Marin County, north of San Francisco, to advise them on the process of bringing Chewie to digital life."

OH...MY...GOD!!!!!!

[spoiler]I recall Dave Filonni mentioning two film characters being in the Clone Wars this season but I assumed that was Qui-gon and Tarken. This looks AWESOME!!! [/spoiler]

Maybe he meant the real films?

Thanks for not spoiling things and using the tags. I certainly don't want to know what's coming in the season finale.

It's not a story line and it is going to be all over the place in the next few days, it's cool but doesn't spoil the finale. It's pretty clear STAR WARS will put out a lot of press ont his to build excitment for the finale, actually.

Oh yeah if you're a fan of Star Wars Clone Wars you won't be able to not hear about this.. but good luck with that... I don't think it's a spoiler.. like I said every time I watch it, I tear up.. it's gotten me even more excited for the finale.

Agreed, they are going to promote the heck out of this. It's just a character appearance in the show, like Qui-gon and now Tarkin in this weeks episode, we all knew well in advance. Same with this.

[spoiler]I think it's seeing Chewie and Asoka saying.. "It's a Wookie" and the original Star Wars music in the background.. pulls on my heartstrings and I get emotional. I've watched this six or seven times and I still get a lump in my throat.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I think it's so great they brought peter Mayhew in to be a part of this as well.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Yeah makes it more real, I mean anyone can do Chewie's voice.. but it wouldn't be Chewie without Peter[/spoiler]

Well, without looking, they already got Neeson and that seemed like a coo. It probably can't be a prequel actor since most of those voices have been replaced - except of course the whole Darth Maul thing (which I still think is a bad idea). I don't generally comb the "Star Wars" sites a lot, so if this is bigger than that my only guess is it could be an OT actor, like Hamill or Fisher. Mark's done a lot of voice work so he would be my first guess. I'm not sure how they could work him into the Clone Wars, but I suppose it's possible. All I'll say is I hope it means something and just isn't a stunt.

Oh, just peak, it's not that big of a deal, you speculation is way beyond what it actually is. :)
