Filoni Reveals Commander Thorn
Dave Filoni has revealed a special season 5 teaser image today on facebook in honor of the smashing success of The Avengers.
On behalf of the Clone Wars crew, we would like to congratulate Marvel Studios and Joss Whedon on the incredible release of The Avengers. We’re also very proud of the team at ILM who made the effects and action scenes beyond spectacular. There are many fans of Marvel comics on the Clone Wars crew, and the biggest fan of all has to be episodic director Steward Lee. Knowing what a fan he is, I sketched up a special Clone Commander for an upcoming episode of Season 5. Clone Commander Thorn is obviously our homage to “Thor, the god of thunder.” Commander Thorn even carries a Z-6 blaster canon named “the Hammer.” Enjoy this sneak peak at a new clone from Season 5.
Head on over for a closer look! Let’s hope that Hasbro follows suit and releases this cool crossover figure!

UPDATE: It appears that the cat was let out of the bag a bit prematurely as the Official Site has removed the image an replaced the animated version with one from The Empire Strikes Back. Thanks to our friends at JediNews for the tip.
