First look at the new Clone Wars 'toon

[Mr. JabbaJohnL]

I kind of expected Chewie to show up (counting down to the "HOW DARE THEY" in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .) after Filoni's comments at CV. Hopefully they handle him well. That's very odd that Peter Mayhew recorded some dialogue; I wonder if they'll use any, or if it was just a temp track.

I do think they're getting ahead of themselves as far as reveals go. We knew about Qui-Gon before the Nightsisters trilogy was done, we knew about Tarkin before the Mortis trilogy was done, and now we know about Chewie before the Tarkin trilogy has even begun! Slow it down!

I wish he was with Yoda instead of that annoying Ahsoka.

It'd explain his relations with the Wookiees.

The thing about Mayhew recording Chewie's dialogue coupled with the April 1st date have me a little nervous. There's no way any one being can really do Chewie's dialogue, it's a very specific series of sound designs.

As for Chewie being there at all, I dunno, it didn't help ROTS at all, but I guess it's not patently impossible here. The idea that Chewie is a prisoner before the ROTS battle though makes no sense, nor does letting him keep his bandolier.


Beast, I've promoted your post to article status, and rewrote to be less forums style and more news style.

Ah f**k...*sigh*
Who next?

[Beast]

Yeah, but I doubt they New York Times would report a April Fools joke. And we do see actual footage at the link. I don't see the problem some have with Chewie showing up. He's certainly old enough. And at least we didn't get Kid Solo in RotS.

As for who's next? Lando Calrissian as Mace Windu's illegitimate child.

[Darth Metalmute]

Why did they have to get Mayhew to do the voice of Chewbacca? They could have just gotten Jim McMahon.

[Beast]

Well, they seemed to have got him more for his expert opinion on the character.

But since he can do some of the vocalizations, recorded it to add to the mix.

I don't understand the nervousness. The season finales are usually around this time, and April 1 just so happens to be on a Friday. In the clip, it sounds like the classic Chewie sounds, so I'm sure anything they use from Mayhew will just be included with the animal noises.

I'm sure we'll see that bullsh** soon enough in Clone Wars.

I'm sure we'll see that bullsh** soon enough in Clone Wars.

Like an episode where kid Han Solo meets kid Boba Fett for the first time, and they have to team up to tackle a anti/guild smuggling opperation? Or maybe Quinlan Vos runs into kid Han Solo while he is stealing fruit from a local street merchant?
