Our buddy Eddie of Starwarstimeline.com sent over a nice report breaking down some interesting news coming out of Star Wars Insider #114:

"Some news from Star Wars Insider # 114 (which is apparently already sent to comic shops in Europe as I received both versions today):

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Episode 9): Grievous Intrigue (written by Ben Edlund), for January 1, 2010: "After a deadly encounter with a prominent member of the Jedi Council, the Jedi resolve to stop General Grievous once and for all."

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Episode 10): The Deserter (written by Carl Ellsworth), for January 1, 2010: "Obi-Wan Kenobi leads a squadron of clone troopers as the search for Grievous intensifies, but who is the mysterious Cut Lawquane?"

And from the announcement for # 115 (January 26), Insider # 114 mentions a Dark Horse Infinities take on the prequels!!! Could this mean a new miniseries? "The Star Wars Saga as you've never seen it before, as Dark Horse comics adapts the prequels and takes a different route with Star Wars Infinities!"

Also in issue 115 (January 26): "Meet the Mandalorians: an in-depth look at the Jedi's newest foes from Season Two of Star Wars: The Clone Wars!" and "Dave Filoni on the second half of Season Two, and why the time was right for the Mandalorians to enter the Clone Wars!"

And what I like best about Insider # 114, is the following quote from the Ask Cad Bane article (by Leland Chee) on page 37: "When the end of the series [The Clone Wars] is in sight, a new timeline will be created to encompass both the events of series and of all the previous EU material."'
