“Eminence,” Star Wars: The Clone Wars season five episode 14, debuts on January 19, 2013 at 9:30am on Cartoon Network and features a few big-name guest stars. Iron Man director Jon Favreau provides the voice of Pre Vizsla while Being Human‘s Sam Witwer is voicing Darth Maul. Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) is voicing Bo-Katan.

The Plot: After barely escaping their encounter with the Jedi at the beginning of the season, Savage and Maul are found by Death Watch. Both parties forge an alliance when they realize they have a common enemy in the Jedi general, Obi-Wan Kenobi, in “Eminence.”

Trivia, Courtesy of Lucasfilm:

· The discovery of the incapacitated Sith brothers, nearly frozen in a drifting starship, was staged as an homage to the opening scenes of Aliens (1986) wherein Ripley is found by a salvage team.
· All the Huttese dialogue in the episode was translated from English. The phrase “Stuka Crispo,” heard uttered by Jabba the Hutt, means “Death Watch.”
