Fanwork Friday: “Holding Out Hope” by Valairy Scot

Posted on by

I have a not-so-secret guilty pleasure ship (and I’m talking about the relationship kind here): Obi-Wan Kenobi and Asajj Ventress. While everyone else ships Obi-Wan with either Siri or Satine or another random character, I prefer him with Asajj. I don’t actually think anything romantic will ever happen between them, but I love the complicated relationship they have on The Clone Wars. It’s one of disdain, but also grudging respect. And they work very well together.

“Holding Out Hope” by Valairy Scot depicts a confrontation between Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Asajj. It’s a great study of my favorite character in The Clone Wars series, and a great exploration of Obi-Wan’s desire to redeem her. It’s hard not to hear his impassioned pleas to Anakin in Revenge of the Sith while reading this fic.

‘Clone Wars’ Heading to Syndication in Chronological Order

Posted on by

At Celebration VI, it was announced the first two seasons of The Clone Wars would be moving to syndication. Yesterday, Keeper of the Holocron Leland Chee dropped an interesting tidbit regarding the move to broadcast television:

Well how about that, it looks like TCW will be airing in chronological order. Lucasfilm and Cartoon Network appeared to have learned their lesson about airing things out of order a while back, and it’s good to see that’s going to be translating into the move to syndication.

No release date has currently been given for the syndication premiere of The Clone Wars. The Clone Wars moves to syndication on September 16.
