It’s true, the next episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is the last episode of the year. But don’t worry, fans, new episodes return January 5. This week, after a comet damages their shuttle, R2-D2, Colonel Gascon and the other droids crash on a desolate planet where they must make their way across a bewildering expanse of emptiness to carry out their mission in “A Sunny Day in the Void,” airing this Saturday, December 8th at 9:30am ET/PT on Cartoon Network.
