Star Wars: TCW Episode Preview: A War on Two Fronts (5.01)

It looks like Starwars.com is dubbing the Onderon arc, the "Seeds of Rebellion."

It promises to be an interesting four part story arc featuring the beast riders of Onderon rebelling against an occupying Droid army.  The story gets a fun spin as the future iron fist of the Empire, Anakin Skywalker is helping lead a team training the native Onderonians in their rebellion.

On a smaller scale we have seen something similar in Season Two when Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka teamed up with a group of bounty hunters to train the native Felucian to protect themselves from predation from Hondo's pirates.

It will be interesting to see Onderon native Lux Bonteri return and help the resistance in this arc. Look for more on that in a subsequent post.

Tune in at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and check out episode 5.02 "A War on Two Fronts."  It will be followed up by episodes 5.03: Front Runners, 5.04: The Soft War, 5.05: Tipping Points.
