Defenders of Peace - Mini Review
Reaction: Negative
Season 1 Record: 7-7
The Good:
Aayla had a really great saber style.
The Assault on the bunker sequence was really well done, amusing, suspenseful, and new ground for the series. Great camerawork too.
The Bad:
The main reason this episode failed is the Lurmens bailed. Basically, I felt the moral of the story was: "in a time of crisis, sacrifice all your values, no matter what the cost." The Lurmens standing up to the Jedi in part one was what MADE the episode. In this part 2, they just rolled over.
Durd was way over-hyped for how pathetic of a character he was. What happened to him too? Sorry Takei, go back to Sulu. It just shows that incompetence is apparently a dominant trait among Neimoidians.
What I want to see:
A Neimoidian with skill instead of power (maybe the solders we saw on Mustufar?)
Someone stand up to the Jedi and prove there are two sides to this war.
