Return of Sy Snootles

The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Sy Snootles will make a return in tonight's The Clone Wars episode entitled The Hunt for Ziro. Sy, so far a minor character whose claim to fame is a brief gig she and her Max Rebo Band landed in Jabba's Palace from Return of the Jedi. She will have a very cool cameo in tonight's episode of The Clone Wars, a role that should certainly nudge her from a B-lister to, well, at least a B-plus.

Today's video clip is the Warzones Trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Officially a neutral world, Alderaan has become the focus of Republic and Imperial political maneuvering. Even as conflict between Alderaan’s noble houses threatens to turn into civil war, Republic and Imperial forces engage in a secret battle that could decide the planet’s fate. High in the mountains, both sides fight for control of Alderaan’s massive planetary defense cannon—a weapon powerful enough to devastate an enemy’s fleet and ensure domination over the planet’s skies. Enjoy!
