No clicking, Mr. Hingtgen!

While watching the 'transformation' sequence, you couldn't help but think Frankenstein. Whether they can do that to anyone at any point....who knows. But the title of the episode, Monster, sums it up.

Via an interview with Katie Lucas:

"Savage is a lot like Frankenstein's creation," says Lucas. "He's a monster, but you get brief glimpses of a real heart beneath the surface. He's a complicated character -- I don't think he would have turned to the dark side without the manipulation of the witches. They use him."

Man, with the last two episodes written by Ms. Lucas, she should write more episodes than this trilogy.

Oh, just found the preview for the next episode which was not shown at the end of last night's......HOLY S---!!!

Great episode!

NICE!

Been waiting for CC Wolffe and Riot CT!

More schtuff on the way.....

Just saw it and, yes, GREAT EPISODE for all reasons stated above. Ms. Katie Lucas has, so far, shown she can give us some quality stuff. Now onto Clancy Brown's Savage.....

Easter egg, maybe: I loved the droid commander's response to Lord Tyranus... "By your command..." very Cylon-esque.

Yeah, nice little homage.

Some more sneak peeks:

Well pointed out eriku.

So I guess we are going to be savagely oppressed next then!

Anyway, the last several episodes have pretty much killed my 6 1/2 year old son's interest in The Clone Wars, which is a shame, as we used to enjoy watching it together. I really do hope the show redeems itself with the coming episodes.

And while Jedi fights are OK I suppose, what my son and I realy like seeing is Clone battles.

Graham

Yeah. Even though I still like them for the background stories (and I'm amongst the minority), my 6 year old also falls asleep during the eps. Only 11 eps left!

An actual figure, but not yet known where and how it will be released. It's from an eBay seller 'tunghori' that must get these loose from the Hasbro plant. http://shop.ebay.com/tunghori/m.html

My bet he'll be in a Battle Pack. Maybe with Jedis Eeth Koth, Adi Gallia, and another clone from his squad.

For those that like the Clone Variations, here's Captain Lock:

Yes, Nathan Fillion should've gotten the spot.

Yup, great stuff. Ahsoka with 2 sabers, too!

The commercial is a great intro to them: http://www.starwars.com/video/view/001152.html

I just saw a mini rig pack with an AT-RT and ARF with Geonosis (Landing at Point Rain) camo (yellow, pink, and red) at Wal-Mart. Pretty cool. My son was really excited.

Is this what you are talking about or will there be other two-packs?

Just picked that set up yesterday! The camo and color patterns are nice.

The ones I mentioned are different and have just been confirmed as TARGET Exclusives:

ARF Trooper Waxer and Battle Droid

Special Ops Clone Trooper and Geonosian Drone

The Spec Ops and Drone are definitely a multiple buy for me!

They are also re-releasing some Battle Packs with the Battle Cards and exclusive Battle Mats inside.

http://www.sandtroopers.com/sandwatch/hasbro/20101117/index.html

Why they are releasing an undead Geonosian, but not a regular one is beyond me. I would buy a battlepack with 4 or five Geonosians and Pogal in a heartbeat.

Oh, I'm sure they'll come out with a battle-pack or carded versions. Especially with new info being tossed around of two new Two-Packs for early next year:

1 x Clone Wars ARF & Clone Trooper "Waxer" (31679)

1 x Clone Wars Special Ops Troopers* (31680)

The question asked is whether the SpecOps Troopers will be from Landing at Point Rain or Cat and Mouse. Either way sounds good to me, but I bet the 2-pack with Waxer will compliment the recent ARF Boil figure. So there's your connection to more Geonosians!!

Also got the Mandalorian 4 pack. Mandalorians rule! Excellent troop builder set. The main one has 2 armguards(are these communicators or weapons?), and a missle jetpack. Great complements to my Pre-Vizla figure that I got over summer.

Got this and the ARC set for my son for X-mas, but I'm the one who can't wait to get 'em open!!

I'm also hoping they come out with some sort of Battle Pack from last week's episode "Assassin" including Aurra's new get-up!

Good scores in my area Targets! Ki-Adi, Goji, Flamethrowers - all for $5 on sale. (Also grabbed another Battle Droid to torch him with the flame effects) .... AND grabbed the Senate Commando 2-Pack and both exclusive Battle Packs: Hostage Crisis and Hidden Enemy! Christmas will be fun for my son and especially me.

Some more REAL Battle Cards this time:

Anakin, Boba, Bossk, Mace and R8 from the Battle Pack, Jungle ARF, BD Commander, Kit Fisto and Nikto Guard

Thank for the info, one_klump. Rec'd my replacement legs after I e-mailed them. And when I rec'd two of the same leg in the replacement set....they sent me another set of six! Odd that they have these to spare, but cannot replace the missiles!

An FYI on this week's Toys R Us promo that I just walked into today - The Rise of Boba Fett pack is on sale at $89. And if you purchase $30 or more of SW goodies, you get the Nikto Guard for free.

While I was there, I noticed a Rise pack on the shelf and then saw that someone burned the store by returning the pack with some kind of Bright Red Astromech, an old version of Bossk and Boba Fett. I did tell an employee so someone wouldn't get burnt themselves. Man, some people suck!

Yeah, I liked it too, but something (as Graham eluded to) my 6 yr-old will get glossy-eyed over.

Kudos to the Sound Guys for the awesome sound the Pantoran blasters make. Sweet stuff!

Tried lightening the screen grabs up a bit. Pixel-ey when you look at it, but print up nice at the actual card size.

Obi-Wan (Space Suit), Hondo Ohnaka, Coruscant Guard, Commander Stone, Commando Droid....

Yeah, this bites because it was very convenient and he updated all of the time. His resource sites are still there, but obviously need some translation-work for some of us. Here are some 'english' links including another blog posted at GBiA:
