THE CLONE WARS SEASON 4: ASSORTED VILLAINY!

A savage encounter with General Grievous awaits...

Not content with the recent turmoil he caused on Naboo (and which saw the brave death of the Gungan warrior General Tarpals in combat against him), that nasty General Grievous is on the warpath once again in the upcoming CLONE WARS episode Massacre, starting a four part season finale story arc on CARTOON NETWORK US, written by Katie Lucas, that also sees in the rise and fall once again of Asajj Ventress and the return of the brothers Maul: Darth and Savage Opress.

Darth Maul is back, but not quite as we remember him...

Our favourite Sith wannabe/harpy Ventress has had a pretty rough time of it recently, first as a discarded target/pariah for Count Dooku and then losing her fearsome tool for revenge against him: the  Zabrakian/Dathomir male Savage Opress. Now, with her fellow Nightsisters, she takes on the duplicitous General and his battle droid cronies in combat. But could this be her last hurrah?

UPDATE 24/2/12: USA TODAY has a new feature and trailer for the upcoming Maul return: Darth Maul makes a 'Star Wars' comeback in 'Clone Wars' animated show – USATODAY.com
