Jedi Insider has posted an interview with Dave Filoni and George Lucas regarding Season Two:

QUOTE: ENI: What surprises can viewers expect from the second season of The Clone Wars?

GEORGE LUCAS: The first season was similar to Episode IV, in that it was fairly light and the conflict was straightforward. With the second season, we’re going deeper into the stories and the character dynamics. The progression is a lot like the difference between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.

From the Cad Bane action figure cardback:

QUOTE: Cad Bane is hired by Darth Sidious to break in the Jedi Temple and steal a holocron containing the secret names of future Jedi. The resourceful and cunning bounty hunter carefully puts his plan in place using schematics of the temple, a techno-service droid and an unscrupulous shapeshifter.

You gotta love that toothpick!

A new thread with three new videos. Starwars.com and Walmart have some sort of scheme where you enter a code (bounterhunter) into starwars.com /walmart/ to view hidden content.

The first Holocron Heist Preview clip starts begins with a dogfight over Felucia with a cool 3D laserbolt "bring the rain" effect. Felucia is rendered quite magnificently here. In the Cargo Of Doom preview clip we have Cad Bane captaining a InterGalactic Banking Clan ship which was most likely the vehicle discussed in the I'm Listening video. Anakin has a Vader-esque line exchange with a Moff.

UPDATE: On the Cartoon Network homepage, miscellaneous Clone Wars promos are be shown (in the video box on the left of the page). The current video features flying and blasting Mando's.

QUOTE: Bane hears rumors of Fett’s son perhaps taking up his father’s business, but he’s not concerned.

“I don’t have time to keep track of every little whelp in the galaxy,” Bane said. “I’m the best there is. If he doesn’t get into my business, I won’t get into his. I’d be happy to track him down — but it’ll cost you. I don’t work for free.”

ABOVE: Wired has posted an short "interview" with Cad Bane. In regard to the son of Jango:

Notes: Cad Bane with god of speed Mercury -style leg rockets, Mandalorian aerial attack, Sith Witch concept-art inspired Cassie Cryar.

BELOW: The Official Site updated with info on bounty hunter Cad Bane.

How Cad Bane went from Original Trilogy concept sketch to Durge 2.0 to a Durge/Cade Bane-hybrid known as Nom Kahbah






Parasitti's changeling abilities were quite advanced, supplemented by holographic technology to make her disguises perfect enough to fool even the most hardened scrutiny.

ABOVE: + info on a new bounty hunter named Cato Parasitti.

Well I look forward to the mandalorian stuff to see whether they are more like Jango/Boba or more like some of the crazy EU stuff. Hopefully there is no mention of the mando language.

BELOW: The first discusses how the production value has been stepped up this season.

It seems that the Mando leader takes Obi-wan's saber from him. (There's still no word on who does his voice, btw.) Two new featurette videos have been posted at the OS. Awesome stuff.

This show keeps impressing me more and more. The level of quality and craftsmanship that has gone into it - and the clarity of the rapid improvements - is really awe inspiring. It's easily the best children's show on television and if what I'm hearing about the darker episodes is true, then we're in for a real special show.
