The second season of Clone Wars started airing yesterday on Cartoon Network. This time, there are only five episodes, but they are about twelve minutes in length, I think. In case you miss any of them, the episodes can be seen here the day after they air on TV.
Season 2 picks up exactly when Season 1 left off, with several Jedi getting their butts handed to them by Grevious. All but three are killed before some Clone Troopers arrive to save them. They also try to take on Grevious, but very soon realize they don't stand a chance and retreat with the Jedi.
The Jedi are revealed to be taking major losses and are in dire need of new recruits, so Obi-Wan proposes that Anakin be promoted to Jedi Knight. After a bit of arguing the rest of the Council agrees.
Anakin and Padme are still hiding their marriage, although C-3PO manages to track them down. 3PO just got his gold exterior, which he seems to find fitting in his role of serving a Senator.
About the last thing we see is the knighting ceremony. Anakin enters the Council chamber to find all the Council with their lightsabers drawn. Yoda touches the blade to both of Anakin's shoulders, and then slices off that braided hair thing, which I guess is the symbol of a padawan. Anakin sends the braid to Padme, which she tucks away in a box.

I can't wait to get all the eps together on DVD. I'm sure that will be included in the super special ultimate collector's edition of the movies at some point.

Strange. I got that warning when trying to access the page through Mozilla (and I live in the US). It worked with IE, though.

Would it work if you went through the anonomyzer (or whatever it was/is called)?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I just saw the series for the first time tonight on the Cartoon Network. All I have to say is:
Wow.
Not even knowing the existence if this series until tonight, I was immediately hooked. Granted, the animation was not of Japanese anime style, coming from the same kid who made Dexter's Laboratory (a funny cartoon but not exactly first-rate animation), but as I continued to watch, I became more impressed with what I saw. I can't wait to buy the DVDs.
