    Looks like Anakin wasn't the only Jedi with a love interest.  On Friday, February 5 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Cartoon Network, we'll get to see what she looks like in "Voyage Of Temptaion."  Obi-Wan is reunited with a former flame while on a mission of vital importance to the war effort.  In trying to defend his convictions and beliefs, he has to stand up against the woman he once loved. 
     
    When traveling to Coruscant on the royal vessel of the Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore, Obi-Wan and Anakin discover a plot to assassinate the political figure before she reaches her destination.  Anakin then finds out that his former Master has a history with the Mandalorian emissary and that he is not without personal attachments of his own. 
     
    Series writer Henry Gilroy discusses the episode. 

    “I always wondered what would happen if Obi-Wan had been put in the same position as Anakin – specifically meeting and falling in love with a woman. Would he be able to maintain his vow to the Jedi at the cost of true love? We know how Anakin dealt with this, but how would Obi-Wan fare against the same temptation? I think a lot of people have had relationships that never really got a chance to flourish, and there's always that ‘what if…’ sort of feeling. Even people in healthy, happy relationships ponder their old flames and think about what might have been. I think it really broadens Obi-Wan as a character. He's revealed as a man – someone we relate to because he has romantic feelings like the rest of us, even though he's a Jedi.”     

    Here's a clip for the episode Lucasfilm sent over.

    Obi-Wan is my favorite Star Wars character, and I like how this story sounds. Plus I love the Clone Wars :)

    Satine, by no coincidence I imagine, was also the name of Ewan Macgregor's love interest in Moulin Rouge.  She doesn't resemble Nicole Kidman, though.

    The thought of Obi-Wan 'getting it on' seems entirely absurd to me. I just keep picturing an old Alec Guinness....

    I had no idea Obi Wan had a lady. At least he could keep it in his pants. Unlike another jedi mass murderer and child killer we all know.
    I would like to get into this show, but I just can't accept watching Anakin being portrayed as a hero. Especially when this is basically a show for kids. Not to mention I have a certain level of disdain for prequels.
     
    Isn't the fact that a group is called Extremist because they can't be reasoned with? The idea you can reason with extremists is kind of an oxymoron.

    Before the Ruusan Reformation, when the jedi were less organized, jedi were allowed to marry, and feel emotion so long as long as it wasn't hate, anger or other such feelings (negative emotions). When the russan reformation came about, all emotion was believed to be evil, and so No, under normal circumstances Relationships of a romantic nature were not allowed (there were exceptions, like a planet where the women outnumbered the men 10 to 1, but i can't remember their name). After the fall of the Empire, Luke skywalker reestablished that not all emotions were evil, and Jedi were allowed to marry again.

    Everything in the Clone Wars TV show is a lot more canon than any EU. Every single detail goes through Lucas so if it happens in the show, you can assume it to be true.

    Well for Kenobi it's not that new. He's had 2 Girlfriends in the books so far, one a former Jedi and one a freedom fighter.

    Now I understand why Karen Traviss is no longer continuing the Republic Commando and 501st series of books.  That episode was absolutely horrible and this series has gone World of Warcraft as far as lore is concerned. The previous episode has killed the entire series for me.  Mandalorians are supposed to be warriors, who are scattered across the galaxy.  Are they saying the Skirata and all those who helped train the clones don't exist in the Star Wars Universe anymore?

    OK so we can say that emotions such as lust or love or hate are not allowed but dam man windu looks pissed all the time so i guess anger is ok?  and he is human so does he not have needs?

    Yes, the Beskar, or Mandalorion Iron is only found on Mandalore and is extremely rare.  Its also extremely resistant to lightsabers and laser weapons.  There are plenty of books in the Star Wars universe where a Jedi or Sith gets a nice surprise when his/her lightsaber meets resistance instead of cutting right through.  I am obviously not happy with the way the Mandalorians were portrayed in this series.  If you want a better idea of what " REAL" Mando'ade are like then look up Karen Traviss's Republic Commando, Hard Contact, Triple Zero, True Colors, Order 66, Imerpial Commando 501st (which looks to be the last one in the series).
     
    Ah, found it.  Karen Traviss last comment on her blog:  http://karentraviss.typepad.com/blog/2009/12/sooty-and-a-clean-sweep.html

    At least among the Jedi following Yoda.  There was another group of Force Users at that time who did allow such attachments.  They may not have agreed with Yoda on those points but they were still allys of the Jedi and got involved in the Clone Wars.  Unfortunately, Order 66 took a huge toll on their numbers as well.  Calista who Luke would meet in on of the later novels was one such individual.

    Luminara is a great character, and she really shines in The Approaching Storm novel and the times she pops up int he cartoon series.  

    Calista popped up in the Order 66 novel by Karen Traviss, and again in the Thrawn Trilogy...or was it the Hand of Thrawn (Its been a while since I have read these, as I just finished Rogue Planet so I have a ways to go before I reach that point again) and was kind of a short love interest for Luke.
