If you liked the two sets of Clone Wars animated shorts which aired earlier this year and late last year, you’re in for a treat. It’s been anounced that there will be five new episodes which will air in March 2005. Even better, instead of being three minutes long as before, each of these episodes will not be twelve minutes long. Sweet! :)

While they make it sound like something that was decided upon due to the popularity of the first set of episodes, it doesn’t really surprise me that they’re making more episodes. Given the cliffhanger ending of the last episode, it wouldn’t really make sense, in my opinion, to resolve that cliffhangar directly in Episode III. It makes much more sense to resolve it in addiitional Clone Wars episodes - which looks like what is going to happen.
