THE SUPER HERO SQUAD SHOW ROUNDUP

Matt Wayne, story editor of The Super Hero Squad Show, wrote "The Mental Organism Designed Only For Kissing!," the episode that premieres on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. on Cartoon Network.

"Ms. Marvel and M.O.D.O.K. in love would be the funniest idea I ever had, except it was supervising director Mitch Schauer who thought of it," Wayne told The Continuum. "So it's the funniest idea I ever stole, whatever. All of my favorite episodes are in the second half of the season. This is the start of a really amazing run."

Grey DeLisle provides the voices of Ms. Marvel and Enchantress, and Tom Kenny provides the voice of M.O.D.O.K.

In other Super Hero Squad Show news, Marvel has released a profile video of the Silver Surfer.

STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS: 'WEAPONS FACTORY"

Lucasfilm has released a video clip from "Weapons Factory," the new episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars that premieres on Friday at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) on Cartoon Network.

To view the clip, CLICK HERE.

Here's how the episode is described:

"Operating without the supervision or protection of their respective Jedi Masters, Padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee embark upon a desperate, last-ditch effort to destroy the droid foundry established by Poggle the Lesser on Geonosis. But when their descent into the Geonosian catacombs becomes a deadly journey into darkness, they must rely on each otherıs strengths to find the light and complete their mission."

"The one thing I really think is great about The Clone Wars is how it has a message in it of courage and loyalty and honesty and hard work," said Meredith Salenger, who provides the voice of Barriss. "Barriss is very bright, honest, professional and brave. She would much rather sacrifice herself for the protection of others and the completion of her mission. Just learning those things -- the tenets of the Jedi way -- is important for kids. The Jedi have good values.²

Salenger is perhaps best known for her starring role in Disneyıs The Journey of Natty Gann. Of particular interest to her was the prospect of exploring a new type of interpersonal dynamic within the Order -- specifically the burgeoning friendship between Ahsoka and the strait-laced Barriss.

"Her Jedi Master is Luminara Unduli, who is very by-the-book and ordered. As a loyal student, Barriss tends to be just as structured in her approach to dealing with situations," Salenger said. "However, I think the more time she spends with Ahsoka, the more she tends to improvise a bit and trust her own instincts. Like most relationships, you are always learning from your friends who have different attitudes about life. When Barriss is with Ahsoka, her vulnerability and curiosity come out. With best friends, you can't help but be influenced by one another."
