The Clone Wars, Cartoon Network’s animated micro series shown in five minute segments resumes on my birthday, March 29th. (How did they know? That was sweet of them!) Episodes 11-20 will debut, and then the Clone Wars will be shown in a marathon on April 9-10.

What’s more, this animated series will continue a tradition of sorts. The Star Wars Christmas Special on television introduced Boba Fett in an animated segment BEFORE he appeared in Empire, and now Clone Wars will introduce an Episode III Villain, General Grievous. Grievous is an alien cyborg and a Jedi-killer who will figure prominently in the final Star Wars film.
