Hummm.. "Rise of the Bounty Hunters". Interesting... Do you suppose that's actually the subtitle for season two? It would be great if the whole season centered around this bounty hunter threat. This show desperately needs a central line for the stories to follow.

Actually I prefer the disconnected episode format. That way I wasn't cheated by an ending with the great big middle finger that I like to call To Be Continued... However it certainly would be interesting if every season followed a certain theme. Possibly even breaking a season up with an episode following a different theme.

I'm not talking about one continuous story spanning the whole season, just an overall theme or particular crisis that kind of ties everything together. The adventures themselves should still be solo episodes, duologies or trilogies at the most, but most of them would circle around the issue of the "Rise of the Bounty Hunters".

If there is a bounty hunter theme, I am really going to enjoy season two.

QFT...and I love to see the bounty hunters used as some sort of subplot to keep the main action interesting instead of Jedi/Clones vs. Seppies everytime.

Only if we actually get to see bounty hunters who have no side in the war. The current set of bounty hunters are obviously being made out to be villains, we need to see bounty hunters that have absolutely no commitment to either cause, switching to the highest bidder and causing devastation in their wake.

The problem is that it's usually the "bad guys" who resort to hiring bounty hunters, and thus they are bound to be the villains in the story. I don't see the Republic or the Jedi getting their wallets out to hire Aurra Sing to do a job for them. At least they did show that the bounty hunters don't really have a cause, it's all just a job for them as they fight for the Seps.

I thought that, of all places, the Transformers wikia made a good comment about bounty hunters in general that could easily be applied to Star Wars: the bad guys pay better and it's just easy for them [bounty hunters] to be on the wrong side of the law.

And it doesn't matter either way, as given what he did in the season finale, I doubt the Republic would be willing to hire Cad Bane to do dirty work for them. And if they did, I'd assume it'd be a clever ruse to capture him in the end.

I didn't neccessarily mean Cad Bane. I would just like to see a bounty hunter that has no side, no preference in the war.

This certainly is a problem when it comes to the Jedi's views, but we are talking about a war where the Republic's resources are spread thin. It's not really hard to see why the Republic would consider using bounty hunters for certain, lower scale missions.

EDIT: Just tested it, Gry.

I totally forgot this was just a mod power, they want to keep the number of big images down on the boards, otherwise everyone would be posting full size. blush

Well, it's obvious that the second season will be bounty hunters heavy and this "Rise of the Bounty Hunters" thing is just the way they will present and promote the second season at CC, nothing more than that IMO. I doubt it will be a major center plot, a title for the whole season or something like that, but I'd expect some s02 trailer in that spirit.

That toy here is inspired by a season two espisode. It looks like Obi-Wan's space-breathing-helmet-thing from "Dooku Captured". It seems in season two Anakin will be going on a space walk as well. In the back Ahsoka is seen with the same thing in her hand and dressed in her ugly space suit that covers her whole body. So it seems this will be the reason for her outfit change - a space walk with her master. Now here's a thought: In "The voices of The Clone Wars" documentary (from TCW movie BluRay) there is a scene from season two, I suspect from "Cargo of Doom", where Anakin and Ahsoka talk with Rex in a hangar of a republic cruiser. Anakin says he wants to board a Separatist frigate (that's the one on wich Anakin and Ahsoka fight with Bane in the first season two trailer), rescue Master Opo (Rancisis) and recover an Archive Holocron (the holocron is seen in Bane's hands in the first season two trailer). Rex says they don't have an assault craft - only the "Twilight" and a couple of fighters (V-19s). I think that's the idea Anakin comes up with in this case - they will board undetected by a space walk, just like Obi-Wan boarded Dooku's ship in "Dooku Captured". Ahsoka dresses up in her red suit, the clones' armor is space-walk-suitable (seen in "Rise of Malevolance") and there they go. Then they battle Bane as seen in the first season two trailer. At the end Bane, dressed up like a clone trooper, trys to escape with one of the V-19 Torrent fighters that somehow got on the frigate's hangar (also seen in the first s2 trailer).
So I think "The Holocron Heist" will be the first season two episode - where Cad Bane steals the Holocron from the Jedi Archives, maybe with some help from Ventress (seen in the "leaked" trailer). That's where we see Jucasta Nu ofcourse. The second episode will be "Cargo of Doom" - where the holocron is recovered. "Cargo of Doom" is definitely the episode where Ahsoka is in her red suit and she and Anakin are fighting Bane - the name of the episode is seen over these shots in "TCW - A New Score" documentary from TCW movie BluRay. And so the episode with the duchess will have nothing to do with those - it will be a third one.
