Nice episode, I love Aayla's saber style. Didn't get why they let so many droids through the shield though, Ahsoka was just running past half of them to get inside.....would have been easier to just kill them while she was there.
About "killing droids": You can't kill something that isn't alive, can you?
"We will not fight them at all. We would rather die than to kill others." That's what the leader of the Lurmen said. My point is: they could have fought the droids and destroyed them. Destroying a droid isn't killing.
Well that is the whole thing Lucas used...the Jedi "aren't" betraying their beliefs because they're hacking apart inanimate objects. Like in ROTS when all the Nemoidian crew can run around but the Jedi will hack apart droids.
Point is, the Lurmen gave in. Star Wars teaches you to sacrifice your ideals. They're kind of the anti-Nahdar...he saw the game had changed and succumbed to it and died....the Lurmen succumbed and lived.

Actually that reasoning was just due to the on-screen violence problem of cutting organic things up all the time. There was no moral implication to it, and hence no logical issue.

While the wording is suspect; as you said, they'd be destroying machines adn not living creatures, I think the point was that they're a peaceful race and completely against all violence, ie They/Lucas used Ghandi when making this race.
Indeed, the Lemur Leader's point was that the Lurmen were an entirely peaceful race. That means they did not resort to violence for any reason, even against non-living things such as the droids.
The 'infiltrate the base and kill the droids to take the ship' part was done really well, I thought. No really huge complaints about this episode.
Although killing a droid is not really killing, they would be still taking part in a war that did kill billions. I believe that is what the leader meant.

Episode 16 - WHAT THE ****? A nice episode, too-short-lightsaber-battle (better than nothing), then it sets up for a massive battle against 1000 battle droids.......then the episode finishes. Its not even a 2 parter so we wont get to see the battle.
Oh and #17 has Jar Jar again. I'm seriously pissed off now.

Well if you take EU into account... she really is until the near end of the war. In the novels her kill count at the end of war included 17 Jedi, four of them masters.
- The introduction of the episode stating that the inhabitants of Christophsis called the Jedi for help.
- No Ahsoka.
- Short appearence of the little fat CIS general Whorm Loathsom.
- The only weapons they were able to save from being destroyed by the traitor were the heavy canons (essential in the first part of the movie)
- and many many many more
