	Thanks to The Attackinator for the idea for this thread. Just thought I'd clean up the thread a bit. Deadly Enemy Article The Chilling Season Finale Introduces a Deadly New Enemy The heroes of the Republic have repeatedly beaten back the assaults orchestrated by the evil Separatist forces, but an entirely new threat -- lethal mercenary Cad Bane -- will emerge from the shadows in "Hostage Crisis," the thrilling conclusion to the first season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, airing at 9 p.m. ET/PT Friday, March 20 on Cartoon Network. Count Dooku seeks to spring a Separatist prisoner from Republic captivity, but his profile prevents him from getting close enough to set in motion his malevolent plan. Enter Cad Bane, the galaxy's most fearsome bounty hunter, as ruthless as he is deadly. He is quintessentially cold, cruel and calculating -- and when the price is right, he can't be stopped. Backed by Dooku and the Separatists, he's bringing his unique skill set and impressive arsenal to bear against the very heart of the Republic. Bane brazenly brings the fight to the Senate's doorstep, with a rogues gallery of galactic scum as his allies. "This episode gave us the chance to do something totally different, to go in a new direction with the series," says supervising director Dave Filoni. "We've seen the good guys and the bad guys, from the top of the food chain to the cannon fodder on the front lines. Now we get to look at some of the opportunists, at the mercenaries operating without a side. It's a whole new dynamic we haven't seen yet, and at the same time it's very Star Wars." Patterned after the laconic gunslingers of spaghetti Westerns, Bane is lethally cool and relishes being a bad guy. He is unflappable in the face of danger, and even welcomes the opportunity to pit his formidable skills against the legendary prowess of the Jedi Knights. Filoni says the inspiration from the red-eyed bounty hunter came directly from George Lucas. "He had a clear idea for this bad guy who plays by his own set of rules, whose moral code is dictated by his fee," says Filoni. "And he had sketches and concepts dating back to the original films. If Boba Fett was sort of the Man With No Name of the Star Wars galaxy, then Cad Bane is his counterpoint -- his Lee Van Cleef. So that's how we built the character, with that in mind. It's a cool parallel to our world, and a cool balance in theirs." Making his Star Wars: The Clone Wars debut in Friday's season finale, Bane has already established a place as a fan-favorite -- among the series' creators and crew. "The crew loves Cad Bane, and I really think the fans will, too," says episode director Giancarlo Volpe. "He brings a serious bad-ass sensibility to Star Wars. He's a lethal and ruthless bounty hunter, and you see that right away in the episode. Unlike Boba Fett, Cad doesn't take prisoners."

	He was pretty good, I thought. I guess he was exactly what I expected, for better or worse. I do like the idea of a "gunslinger" bounty hunter, and I like the idea of his "posse".

	Cad Bane was badass.... When he shot the Senator trying to leave, and cracked the Senate Guard's neck, I was like "Woah. This guy DOES mean business."

	I like him more than Grievous already, and will be happy to see more of him. His posse brings a colorful element to the show. And he as yet has no embarrassing failures to is discredit, so he comes off as a bit more of a credible threat. It will be interesting to see how the other heroes interact with him. That said, I hope they don't sideline the other villains too much in favor of Bane & Crew. It is the Clone Wars; it seems that the focus should be more on military commanders and personnel than mercenaries (who seem like they're probably going to figure prominently in the LAS anyhow). And I will not stand to have the Obi-Wan / Ventress sauciness diminished! Can't quite draw a bead on Bane's voice-- seemed to veer between "cowboy" and "Eastern European (vampire?)" rather liberally. But I assume it'll settle down into its own thing over time.

Cad Bane in season II looks AWESOME. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I saw those scenes. I am glad though they made Cad Bane have less moral standing then Jango or Boba Fett. -----signature----- Skywalker and Kenobi: The team "Some men see things as they are and say why?

	Cad Bane was Kriffing awesome. And I do love the banner. Does anyone feel like him in season 2 isn't the best idea? I mean, he was badass and I want to see him more, but not so much that we get inside his head. The best villians are the ones we know nothing about. -----signature----- QueenArdnassak is my insane e-girlfriend. Sith Warrior in the "SWC: Acolytes of Darkness" Dark Side Points: 55

	I look forward to seeing Cad Bane next season, but I only hope they don't: 1- Over-use him. A little Bane goes a long way. With so many villains (Dooku, Ventress, Grievous, Tactical Droid and other Generals) they can mix things up and keep the bounty hunter fresh. 2- Make him an uber-awesome kick-ass fighter. Cad is much more interesting as a cunning, ruthless criminal than as a precision kung-fu killing machine. What they've set up with this episode is great, just stick with that. -----signature----- If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.

	I kinda thought his voice reminded me of someone from Louisiana, if that makes sense. Think Gambit from the X-Men. -----signature----- Dustin + Tina = 5 years of marriage Obama given First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence

	I also got a cajun vibe from him. Cad was really cool, I thought. The "Duros with a wide brim hat" concept, surprisingly, works a lot better on screen than it did on my head when first hearing of the character. It is interesting that the episode guide says that this was the fourth episode produced for season 2. I could have sworn that Cad was always intended to be intro'd in season 1.

Yeah, I'm in agreement with Gry. I hope that they don't overdo him and burn out. I certainly think it would be an affront to the competent bounty hunter archetype to make him a super kung-fu fighter who does things like 'The Matrix', but I've certainly no trouble with him being around Jango's level of competence. Being a good marksman, full of gadgets he'll use anytime he can, and fighting with both resourcefulness and dirty tricks all the way! Judging from the preview of season 2, the slo-mo kick at the end might not bode well for martial arts, but he certainly seems to have the underhanded space gunslinger thing right, in that he'll use any and every trick in the book to get one up on the Jedi. -----signature----- Season 2: Preview-free since episode three! =D This is Star-Wars-Galaxy-of-Adventure, not Star-Wars-Galaxy-of-Angst “Only a diseased mind thinks Plo Koon is the best character."-George Lucas

	Yeah, Cad Bane does look like a promising bad guy. Before he came around the only serious evil threat was General Greivous and Assaj. And they can only be in two places at once. So here's a question, I know that Cad is a bounty hunter, but do you think he will ultimately end up working for the Seps? I'm really looking forward to season two! -----signature----- "There is no charge for awesomeness.....or attractiveness." Former Padawan of MsLanna / now I'm a Jedi Knight! Isaiah 41:10
