Planned Seasons of the Clone Wars

The Clone Wars originally set out differently to it aired. Here I will list the original plan of episodes and say out the end what changes there were.

Season 1

1. Castle of Deception
2. Castle of Doom
3. Castle of Salvation
4. A New Padawan
5. Ambush
6. Rising Melvelonce
7. Shadow of the Melvelonce
8. Destroy Melvelonce
9. Rookies
10. Downfull of a Droid
11. Duel of Droids
12. Bombad Jedi
13. Cloak of Darkness
14. Lair of Grievous
15. Dooku Captured
16. Gungan General
17. Jedi Crash

21. The Blue Shadow Virus
22. Mystery of a Thousand Moons
23. Storm over Ryloth
24. Innocents of Ryloth
25. Liberty of Ryloth
26. Hostage Crisis

Differences: Four episodes are added on to the beginning of the season 1 that we know. All four episodes were later turned into the Clone Wars feature film, however in the original run the episodes are out of order to how they appear in the film. The story starts with the episode featured on Teth and runs from there to the end of the film and then the "New Padawan" story is when Ahsoka joined Anakin, serving as a flashback.

Season 2 and 3

The same as aired.

Season 4

1. Shadow Warrior
2. Water War
3. Gungan Attack
4. Prisoners
5. Mercy Mission
6. Nomad Droids
7. Darkness on Umbara
8. The General
9. Plan of Dissent
10. Carnage of Krell
11. Kidnapped
12. Slaves of the Republic
13. Escape from Kandavo
14. A Friend in Need
15. An Old Friend
16. Rise of Clovis
17. Crisis at Heart
18. Deception
19. Friends and Enemies
20. The Box
21. Crisis on Naboo
22. Massacre
23. Bounty
24. Brothers
25. Revenge

Differences: Shadow Warrior was moved to Episode 4 by the Production team as they thought that a more action packed adventure would be better for the first episode of the season. An Old Friend, Rise of Clovis and Crisis at Heart were originally in this season but as the season was longer than usual (25 instead of 22 episodes) the three were set for Season 5, however they were moved once more to Season 6.

Season 5

1. A War on Two Fronts
2. Front Runners
3. The Soft War
4. Tipping Points
5. An Old Friend

13. Eminence
14. Shades of Reason
15. The Lawless
16. Sabotage
17. The Jedi Who Knew to Much
18. To Catch a Jedi
19. The Wrong Jedi

Differences: Revival was moved to Episode 1 because George Lucas wanted to continue with the story of Darth Maul from the first episode. An Old Friend - Crisis at Heart were moved again to Season 6 and replaced with the 4 part youngling arc which was made exclusively for Celebration 6 but for reasons unknown (properly to get the number to 20).

2. Conspiracy

4. Orders
5. An Old Friend
6. Rise of Clovis
7. Crisis at Heart
8. The Disappeared Part I

20. Untitled Dark Disciple story
22. Untitled Dark Disciple story
23. Enemy of my Enemy
24. A Tale of Two Apprentices
25. Proxy War
26. Showdown on Dathomir

Differences: Only the Unknown - Sacrifice actually aired due to the series cancellation. A Death on Utapua-The Big Bang were released on starwars.com later in the year. The Dark Disciple story along with four more episodes of the seventh season will be release in a novel called Dark Disciple. Enemy of my Enemy-Showdown on Dathomir was released in comic form.

The Phantom Menace: Things you may not know

The Phantom Menace is considered by most fans and critics to be the worst of the Star Wars Saga but there are many things you may not know.

1. The "Phantom" - In Revenge of the Sith, Chancellor Palpatine tells Anakin about  Darth Plagueis. He says that Darth Plagueis can use Medicholrians to create life. You can take two things from this. 1. Palpatine is lying. 2. It is possible that Plagueis (who we know was around during the events of the Phantom Menace) created Anakin himself.

2. The Force Child - In some sources it suggests that Palpatine knew that his master had created a force child (when he met Anakin on Naboo) and therefore that was the reason that he killed his master as he feared that Plageuis was going to use Anakin and replace Palpatine. Palpatine therefore used him for himself. Palpatine was already going behind his master's back by training a secret apprentice of his own.

3. Why on Tatooine? - Well the answer to that question is that Plageuis wanted his force child away from Coruscont. Palpatine knew how he was going to get Anakin to Corucont however.
You may remember that the communications were jammed so how was Darth Maul able to track them to Tatooine? Easy Palpatine knew they would land on Tatooine and told Maul to go there. Qui Gwon and Anakin would leave falling Palpatine to continue with his plot.

At first we just thought that Palpatine was leading both sides so that who ever one he would still come out on top but really he started the war to get the Jedi distracted from his main objective: The force child Anakin Skywalker to turn to the Dark Side.
