The penultimate episode and the final installment of the three part Ryloth arc gave us a lot to digest. The Ryloth story could have been told as a 90-120 minute film of its own, it’s the perfect Star Wars type of story and it mirrors Return of the Jedi very closely. An evil group has [...]
In “Storm Over Ryloth” we learn the Separatists have taken the twi’lek homeworld, starving the inhabitants and using them as human shields. The Separatists are using Ryloth as a droid reclamation outpost and the operation is run by Wat Tambor, a Techno Union Foreman and lead strategist. He directed Mar Tuuk’s blockade as well as [...]
Star Wars: The Clone Wars really wants to end the first season on a high note. With the unshocking news of being picked up for a second season, we’ll end the first with a three part finale. (Officially there’s a forth episode that was supposed to be #1.19 entitled “Hostage Crisis” but I can’t find [...]
Quite a title, huh? This was actually a two-parter played back to back giving The Clone Wars a much needed expanding of their weekly story architecture. And it works well; the two episodes are distinct but the over all story remains intact and at the end you don’t feel like saying, “It’s over?” Our location [...]
“Truth enlightens the mind, but won’t always bring happiness to your heart.” Dateline – Christophsis. The Republic is in defense of the crystal world (so wouldn’t it be better to have the world name Crystosis or something?) Obi-wan and Anakin are in the capital city occupying two tall towers. They’re awaiting the approaching droid army [...]
Each episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars starts with a bit of fortune cookie advice. They lead directly into the story about to be told and with the initial Newsreel like intro, you can anticipate what the story will be without watching it in its entirety. For example, this week was something like “Arrogance [...]
We last left our intrepid Jedi and clone contingent stranded on the little known world of Maridun seeking refuge with the pacifist Lurmen. The tribal leader Tee Watt Kaa forbade the villagers to assist the Jedi in defending themselves and was morally opposed to offering medical assistance to Ankin Skywalker after his Force induced injury [...]
He Who Shall Not Be Named makes his second appearance in this action packed episode. We were left with the Weequay pirates capturing Count Dooku and holding him ransom. The Republic sends Anakin and Obi-wan to determine if Dooku is actually being held by Honda and his friends. We pick the action up with the [...]
“In fact you look strong enough to pull ears off a gundark.” The beauty of building stories in the Star Wars universe is that there are many small lines, places and creatures from which the writers can pull that it makes every new episode chock full of recognition. ”Dooku Captured” is no different and they [...]
“Sweet three-toed sloth of the ice planet Hoth!” Voice actor extraordinaire Phil LaMarr guests this week as the voice behind the obscurely cult favorite Jedi Master Kit Fisto. When I first saw Master Fisto in Attack of the Clones I internally gave him a voice. In the few seconds we saw him, he seemed cocksure [...]
