Clone War Is Hell
Apologies if anyone has seen this Clone Wars season 5 trailer already — it seems to have been around, but Entertainment Weekly thinks its new — my apologies, but to everyone else, hey, new Clone Wars season 5 trailer. I could complain about Darth Maul needlessly sticking around when there are still a million other villains in the show, or the attack of the Mandalorians, who are getting as overused as Boba Fett ever was, but I’m cutting it a break for two reasons: 1) it doesn’t use the “Duel of the Fates theme” (I can’t tell you how glad I am to see something Star Wars and finally not hear that goddamn song), and 2) black lightsabers. I’m not made of stone. Thanks to Mike T. for the tip.
