Heh! That's an idea. Based on what Wookiepedia has to say about it, it sounds delicious.

A new arc has been revealed, dealing with Plo Koon and the mystery of Sifo-Diyas.

So either that statement about there only being two more arcs was wrong, or they weren't counting the Clovis arc.

That's a great new clip! Very intriguing and mysterious. Seeing as Diyas commissioned the clone army, I've seen some people wonder if it's connected to the Order 66 arc too.

Or perhaps we'll be getting more than two arcs?

Unfortunately (?), it goes up against Legend of Korra in both the "Special Animated program" and "Directiing" categories...sad Do you think it has any chance there?

[up] Well, since the awards would only measure Korra's first season, I'd say yes, definitely.

Great news all around. That was certainly an interesting clip— definitely looking forward to seeing the whole thing.

[up]4: Filoni did say in an episode of Rebel Force Radio that he didn't know how much would be released, despite the reports of there only going to be two arcs, so it's possible.

[up][up][up][up] TCW better not lose to Korra. Look, I don't dislike the Legend of Korra per se, but the first season suffered from too many problems to the point where the "growing pains" excuse doesn't really save them. It started out good, but ended kind of meh. Furthermore, TCW's finale strongly; Korra's, not so much.

It depends on the episodes they're nominated for.

Nothing at the Emmys is nominated as a whole, except possibly the Outstanding Programming awards. Stuff like acting and directing is based on individual episodes that are submitted to the Academy. So TCW may be judged on The Wrong Jedi, Shades of Reason, or The Lawless, while Korra may be judged on Welcome to Republic City, or And the Winner Is...

The problem is, Emmys for animated programming are immensely difficult to find information on. I would say TCW's chances are probably higher just based on the fact that they have more nominations, specifically in voice acting (where three people are nominated for the show, against Korra's none), and music (where, again, Korra is not nominated).

So, I just realized that there's something of a bright side to the series ending. The official episode guide that is coming out next month will never be outdated, now. It will always be a complete guide to the show (outside of those bonus episodes, I guess).

He could be referring to Jim Cummings, as he was a nominee.

"First concept-arts" of the new animated series. grin
So it seems it will take place sometime between EP 3 and aftermatch-years of EP 6 at the latest. At least I hope they won't have TIE fighters running about thirty years after the classic trilogy...

They already have been used 30 years after the OT. TI Es, in some variation or another, have been in more or less continual use since their creation. Even the standard TIE fighter we see in the OT (of which the picture does not seem to be).

And that is because TI Es are cheap. You can make millions of 'em on the dime.

Sifo-Diyas was kinda that mystery that had some pretty interesting implications and the actaul reveal was kinda meh.

I knew the first one. It's essentially a reiteration that there are TIE fighters in the new series.

I did not know the second one, and it seems to confirm to me that there are indeed way more bonus episodes that we know about. This latest one simply does not fit into any of the three we're already aware of.
