Episode 20 - Innocents of Ryloth

After giving up on Season 1. This episode reminded me of why I still watch this series every week.

The episode was the best of the season. One of only 3 smash hits imo, and the first one in 11 episodes (almost 4 months).

It was damn near perfect and exactly what I wanted this series to be.

If this type of quality becomes baseline, the Filoni series (which right now is nothing more than a mediocre failure imo...given, I'm not a 9 year old boy...) will far outsrip the Gendy one.

Give in to popular demand and write more reviews, damn you!

I second that.

I de-second that!

And you wonder why people get on your case...

😉

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up.

First, I died. I watched Episode 14 (Defenders of Peace) from my bed in the ER. The staff was very confused why I wanted a TV to watch Cartoon Network while I was lapsing into a coma lol. I just insisted my favorite TV show was on. Fortunately I'm still here and Defenders of Peace was not my last taste of Star Wars on this earth. God THAT would have sucked.

Then things just got busy as hell. I've been working a lot and trying to rebuild my body/health. The series just got crappy too and I lost interest in/didn't have time to review every episode. I'll go back and do some shorter, less intense ones.

All I can say is I can pumped for Clone Wars tonight (for the first time in months). We even get one of my favorite classes of troopers!

Please god, lets at least end season one realizing that there is hope for the future.

Episode 22 isn't the last episode.

Duh?

Nactous, stop posting in here before you actually make someone angry.

Sorry to hear about your ill health, Ordo, good to have you back.

Very good indeed.

What, he implied that Episode 21 was the last episode of the season! There's still the one with Cad Bane.

Anywho. My overall reaction was positive. I wasn't AS thrilles as I was with Innocents, but it was still a crack episode. Once I watch it a few more times I'll scrap up a review.

Thats a stretch...

Glad your back though. It just wasn't the same without a KotOR basher around.

Really, Nactous, stop.

It was playful banter.

Which you were asked to stop.

Watched the trilogy... the episodes by themselves weer quite entertaining. Better than average for sure. But they don't really feel like a trilogy at all. They're just three separate epsiodes. Replace the name of the planet per episode and it'd be the same. Why didn't they have any plotlines that stretched the entire trilogy? They did with the two-parters... so my question is: what's so great about this story that it needs three episodes? IMHO there is nothing that justifies calling this a trilogy.

Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page.

Of the "trilogy" I think the first and the third were the strongest, didn't really care for the one with Kenobi that much.

First part didn't amuse me much although the 'I am going to fly my cruiser in to your command ship" was quite funny.

Second part was the best because for me, it showed a totally unseen aspect of the clones (with the Twilek child, etc...)

Third part contained Mace Windu, therefore it can't be bad.

I liked all three episodes of this, though i agree with queeq, there wasn't a lot to tie them together.

liked the space episode, liked seeing obi-wan without anakin, and nice to finally see windu in combat...
