Even though he won't debut until the second episode of the Nightsisters Trilogy (airing next week), Savage Opress is already making a big splash in Star Wars fandom thanks to a limited preview screening last month. IGN's Eric Goldman recently spoke to Clancy Brown, who voices the Zabrak menace, about his involvement in The Clone Wars.

Here's an excerpt from the interview where Brown talks about the Star Wars community:

There's an interesting connection between the Star Wars fan universe and the people that bring you, not the movies, but the subsequent Star Wars stories. Because most of the people that are creating this stuff are also fans and could very easily be sitting in the front row at Comic-Con. Dave's like that, I'm like that, Dee's like that, we're all sort of like that. So there's really a connection there.

This is a great way to get excited for what's to come starting next week -- so check out the full article on IGN.com!

Plus, don't forget that the first installment of Katie Lucas's much-anticipated TCW trilogy airs tonight at 8:30pm!

UPDATE: Now that the episode has aired, satiate your growing excitement for next week with another Clancy Brown interview, this one from Bonnie Burton at StarWars.com.
