    This Friday Cartoon Network will premiere the latest episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars at 9:00 pm ET/PT.  In "Lightsaber Lost," Ahsoka faces a Jedi's biggest fear (or at least one of them), losing her lightsaber.  How does she lose it?  That's what could make this even worse for her.  She doesn't lose it during a battle or a chase.  It turns out a pickpocket steals it during a routine mission.  Ahsoka must then enlist the aid of an elderly Jedi Master to track down the slippery thief.  The chase will take her into the dark and seedy underbelly of Coruscant.  Ahsoka will soon face a threat unlike anything she's seen on the front lines.
     
    Supervising Director Dave Filoni talks about the departure from the norm with this episode:

     “To a certain extent, audiences are coming to expect the combat storylines from the series, but there’s a lot more to Star Wars than the war itself; I think this episode really resonates because it captures a particularly nostalgic aspect. We got to focus on aspects that don’t get as much screen time when we’re in the middle of a battle,” says Filoni. “It’s also interesting to look at the various influences on Ahsoka from a different perspective. She’s being trained by Anakin, who eventually becomes Darth Vader. It’s an interesting dynamic, because we don’t necessarily know what happens to her – except for the fact that she doesn’t appear in Episode III. Because we see her in these high-intensity situations, it’s easy to forget that she’s still a child and that she’s impressionable. She’s definitely still learning – from Anakin, but also from her own experiences, from her mistakes, from those around her. She’s making her own choices, deciding her own values. How that will affect her ultimate destiny remains to be seen. When we screened this episode for the crew, almost everyone ranked it among their favorites for the season; I think it’s because it stirs up some of those questions, and in a way that has a distinct Star Wars feel.” 

    Here's a clip from the episode showing Ahsoka in hot pursuit.

    Hmmm, not often that we see Ahsoka shown-up like that, I look forward to this. And hopefully we can see them assemble a new lightsaber for her, because her current one is quite bland.

    I can't really get into the show. Since the outcome of everything and one is pretty much set.
     
    I do love the style of the animation. I actually wish they would stop trying to make live action comic book movies and instead use this style of animation to make movies based on comics. You wouldn't have to worry about finding an actor that looked right. Just make sure the voice actor is right.
     
    This style, or the kind they had for Batman Arkham Asylum. I'd see a movie that looked like that.

    So is this gonna be straw that breaks the camel's back? Are we going to see Anakin continue his trend in kid killing by cutting her in half for losing the lightsaber? One can only hope.....

    I felt the same way too, until I started watching the episodes... now I can't wait to get a new episode on, but as great as the show is to me, I am exhausted with the entire Clone Wars saga. Ironically (perhaps), I like the 2D Clone Wars style of animation more.

    @LP: 
    I also adored the art style of Samurai Jack that was used for the Clone Wars animation. They were far too short, but very entertaining.
     
    I just can't find myself getting attached to these characters and really caring what happens to them since we already know the outcome.
     
    I also take issue with having the series depict Anikin as some sort of hero to an audience of children. Seeing how he goes bad and slaughters the jedi and the children all for his own ideas that leads to the death of his love and nearly his own children. Basically a genocidal psychopath is being elevated to a hero to kids.

    @FoxxFireArt: Indeed they were too short. I can see where you're coming from with the whole Anakin turning to the dark side thing, but people often do forget that Anakin was a hero prior to his fall, and he was a hero during the Clone Wars. For me... that is what makes Anakin such an interesting character.

    Well, if this series was directed to a more mature audience I really wouldn't care. It's the fact they are having children look to Anakin as a hero. A hero they will also some to see betray justice and slaughter children. Not a positive role model there.

    LOL yep. 
     
    @FoxxFireArt: But he's not supposed to be a role model, he's a tragic hero who returns to light side with the help of his son to defeat the Emperor together.

    Uh I know it takes place before number 3. Anakin killed many INNOCENT women and children sand people in episode 2when he went back to find his mom and then cried all about it to Padme afterwards. I know my history quite well thanks....
