Clone Wars Season 3 Images Analyzed
Found this in the mailbag from Faithful ForceCast listener Ray Huo:
I did my own analysis and commentary of the five TCW pics they released on www.starwars.com. Enjoy!
We have been seeing this Nikto Jedi for some time now, going back to the original preview they posted after the Season 2 finale. In all the previews he has been in, he is fighting on a desert planet, which I am starting to think is Ryloth, possibly because last year Dave Filoni stated that Ryloth will be featured again, and we have had no Ryloth in Season 2, so maybe Season 3.
According to the files name, and a video transmission from Dave Filoni, it seems that this Jedis name is Di (likely to be short for something), and his fate matches his name, and now I am starting to be glad that its not Ma kis shaalas (although Im a bit disappointed that hes not featured here that we know of). One thing that does strike me is those patterns on his clothes it may not have any significance, just something I caught.
Nothing really new in this picture, its just a group shot of Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka.
With this picture and file name, we can put to rest the debate between Shaak Ti vs. Older Ahsoka that has been going on since the Season 3 preview. YES it is Shaak Ti! Which Im glad, since shes been one of my favorite Jedi for some time, and it seems she will be in Kamino, possibly defending it from an attack...*cough cough*
One thing I noticed is that she is wearing her robes, and judging from her pose here, she may be fighting in the robe, possibly suggesting that they have the technology and time to animate flowing robes in this season.
Now this is where things get interesting. Some of you may remember a rumor about a book adaptation on the Season 3 premiere MOVIE about a group of shinies as they get promoted to ARC Troopers. Now the movie rumor is apparently untrue, but this trooper was on the cover of the book SW: TCW: Defenders of the Republic.
According to the file name, this trooper depicted is indeed an ARC Trooper. Now people are speculating that this is Captain Fordo from the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars micro-series, due to the red armor, and the ammo pack on the upper right area of his body.
Another thing which strikes me is that his helmet is a Phase II clone trooper helmet, with the different helmet and the curved bits at the rim of the helmet. A hologram of Phase II armor appeared in Season 2, so this probably makes me think that we may see some evolution from Phase I to Phase II armor, probably mid-way through the season.
This is another clone I am very curious about. One thing that amused me was that when I downloaded the file, it was named peeking_at_filenames_img. Now Bonnie or whoever is in charge of this probably thought that we may try to find out more by looking at the file names, and she was more or less right.
The brown shape on his helmet looks like a cross between a ram and a dragon. I am thinking its more of a dragon, since the shape of the snout looks like a dragons, as well as the barbel on the faces sides, but at the top of the helmet is what looks like the horns of a ram. Apparently this one did not like the ideas of Mandalorian jaig eyes, so he fashioned his own eyes and made them look like horns. Hehe
