The third season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars begins with a look at the everyman heroes, the Clones. The two part premiere airs on Friday, September 17 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Cartoon Network. In "Clone Cadets," five headstrong cadets - Hevy, Cutup, Droidbait, Fives and Echo - struggle to complete their training on the ocean planet of Kamino. Unable to work as a team, they must embrace their future as soldiers before they are kicked out of the academy.
“It’s a band-of-brothers story that takes you back before most of the episodes we’ve seen so far; it’s one of the earliest episodes – chronologically – in the series,” says Dee Bradley Baker, voice of the clones. “We’re going to see how the ‘shinies’ [new recruits featured in the first season episode, ‘Rookies’] learn to work together. Starting off, they’re not a team at all. They’re just everymen; they’re human. And now they’ve got to pull it together. There’s something really cool about how the show brings out the heroism from characters like that – not just the superpowered ones.”
We'll also get a look at clone development and training including a look at a unique new character, Clone Number 99. The second episode, "ARC Troopers," revisits the Clones after the events of "Rookies," with the surviving members defending Kamino from a large scale Separatist attack.
