The Clone Wars Returns with its 2nd Season!

Unlike many of my die hard SW geek fans, I for one really enjoyed season one of The Clone Wars, and I also enjoyed the movie. Now, I won't say that I didn't have small quibbles here and there with some of the plot devices, but overall just the chance to watch new Star Wars dramas unfold on a weekly basis was enough quell any of the dark side tendencies.

And now we have a whole new season with which to look forward. Cad Bane looks to be a formidable opponent and I'm very much looking forward to the Jedi and clones matching wits with him. I would like to know if the the name Bane was borrowed from the legendary Darth bearing the same appellation. I haven't researched that yet, but maybe someone can tell me.

One argument that I share with one of the members of the SWAction forums, is that when the holocron had fallen out of Bane's hand and was lying equidistant between him and Anakin, why didn't Anakin just use a force pull and grab it. Rather, he fumbles and tries to crawl to it, letting Cad get there first.

What gives with that?

But anyway, I look forward to watching this weekly once again!
