Lets face it, Season four of STAR WARS: The Clone Wars was the best season yet. The action was amped up, we saw an homage to the old Star Wars cartoon DROIDS, and then there was the whole return of Darth Maul.
How on earth are Supervising Director Dave Filoni and crew going to top that? Well, evidently they are looking to the monster success of this summers mega film The Avengers. Less than a half hour ago, Dave Filoni posted this really amazing image of an all new Clone Commander who will be seen in season 5. If you look close, there are some elements that look very familiar, but Mr. Filoni explained it best in his Facebook post.
On behalf of the Clone Wars crew, we would like to congratulate Marvel Studios and Joss Whedon on the incredible release of The Avengers. We’re also very proud of the team at ILM who made the effects and action scenes beyond spectacular. There are many fans of Marvel comics on the Clone Wars crew, and the biggest fan of all has to be episodic director Steward Lee. Knowing what a fan he is, I sketched up a special Clone Commander for an upcoming episode of Season 5. Clone Commander Thorn is obviously our homage to “Thor, the god of thunder.” Commander Thorn even carries a Z-6 blaster canon named “the Hammer.” Enjoy this sneak peak at a new clone from Season 5.
