To be fair, some of the villains so far this season have been fairly interesting.

Not a bad episode overall. The Jedi remained Locked up for all of five minutes, but that's par for the course. I also find it interesting that Anakin has the highest body count this episode (in personal combat) and is the only person to kill anyone with a lightsaber on screen. I also like that the Trooper was more than willing to kill an unarmed person.

Lux is a idiot and Clone Wars continues to get more brutal, Ashoka cut the necks of four Mandos, after they'd begun torching a villge. Overall a good action heavy episode.

<a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36EhiFx4Q9U' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Preview for Episode 15: Deception</a>

Obi-wan fakes his own Death to infiltrate a prison and find a certain inmate.

Problem: He fails to tell Anakin the plan, so our young SKywalker thinks his friend and mentor is really dead. This will not end well.

Edit: It's funny, I actually wanted an Episode where Anakin hunts down a group of Bounty Hunters for the death of a loved one (I was thinking Ashoka at the time), in a roaring rampage of revenge that would echo the Jedi Slaughter to come. It would even help explain why Bobba Fett is the best hunter in the galaxy later on. Anakin killed everyone else who could've challenged the mandalorian.

Oh good, Obi-Wan is being a damn idiot again. :rolleyes:
For fuck sake, HOW could have Anakin NOT end up the utter screw up that he is a Vador with a mentor like that ?
It's like he has a check list or something.

* Years later *

"You were my brother Anakin...I loved you!"

"Then why did you let me think you were DEAD?!" Obi-wan fliniched as the words poured forth like molten rock. "Why didn't you trust me enough to let me in on the plan!!" Anakin seethed, hate fueled by the memory of loss, the mire he'd fallen into when his friend had allowed him to think he'd been killed.

The two former friends faced off, Obi-wan with growing dismay, recalling all the times he'd seen his friend take that one extra step over the line and either never called him on it, or in some cases gave him a little push. "I..at the time...I thought it best if no one else knew."

"I was ready to kill every single person involved in your death." that despair turned to shock and initially joy when he'd learned Obi-wan was alive, but a question began t gnaw at him. Why hadn't Obi-wan told him the plan? "I would have brought justice to the scum I thought killed you!"


That's all I'e got...

Okay....Jedi Council...Obi-wan...this is very simple.The moment you no longer need Anakin to believe Kenobi is dead you tell him the truth. There was no need to keep Anakin in the dark after the switch was made.

NONE.

I swear you all handed him over to the Emperor.

Emperor: "I'm looking for a new apprentice. I need him powerful, well trained with years of combat expierence and a seething distrust of the Jedi order.

Jedi Council: "Would you like him gift wrapped?"


edit: Wait....did the Republic put a 14 year old boy in with hardened criminals.....?

The writers apparently want us to think the Jedi Council deserved it (or the writers are idiots, or both).

I seriously doubt they'll try to convince us that the younglings in That One Scene did, though.

Well Jedi Finally get their collective heads out of their rears and decide to tell Anakin the truth....after palpatine sends him to avenge Obi-wan.

Beyond that we had a solid fight scene between Skywalker and Bane.

For fuck sake Yoda, couldn't you find an even wost way to tell that to Anakin while you were at it ?
Ugh...at least Obi-Wan made it pretty obvious that he blamed himself for Anakin's fall in the films. Not EVERY Jedi are irremediably blind/in denial at least. :rolleyes:

QFT. They really are making it pretty easy to turn Anakin. In the Expanded Universe books I remember at one point Luke makes a comment about how the Order was before the Empire took over. He didn't understand at how Jedi were able to train and bring in new students with all the life restrictions they were under.
 
Night sisters scare me especially Mother talsim after the latest ep they delve in force version of necromancy and voodoo. Must admit though i smiled when dooku was suffering

How much do you want it spoiled? They have pretty much told what ends up happening to her in various spots. Highlight for details


The last part of her character arc ends up with Kenobi learning of her past and trying to bring her back around. She was originally trained by a Jedi. She doesn't accept and is "killed." Cut to her body being loaded on a ship. After it takes off she comes out of a trance and decided to just go far, far away from the War.
 
Ventress scored several awesome points with me by screwing over Bobba and teaching the punk his place. Bastard still got paid though.

I'm sorry Ventress but you saved Obi-wan Kenobi....I have to award you some lightside points and increase reputation with him. Keep this up and you'll be at Lightside 1.

From a recent Interview with Mr. Filoni, I post as a way to show you where his heads at.

It's something I've always held about Mace Windu and the Chancellor. If Mace Windu executes the Chancellor, it's my belief that Mace gets arrested, even though Palpatine is a Sith Lord. Because what does that mean to anybody in the Republic, really? I mean, there hasn't been a Sith Lord for a millennia, right? So what does that mean to someone? "Oh, I'm sorry, Mace. You're upset that someone, this fictitious person that you call a Sith, was running the Republic and making the trains get to the station on time? I don't understand the problem." So that's why I think Mace goes into that room and says, "We're here to arrest you," and then when he gets how powerful Palpatine really is he's like, "I'm going to have to take the fall on this." And that one decision turns out to be pretty costly.

IGN: Yes it does!

Filoni: Because I think Anakin, in the end, would have been for arresting the Chancellor. And when he sees that Mace is there to execute him, it makes him think the coup is all a real thing. And I think that same truth exists where Krell is concerned for Dogma unfortunately. I think that Rex and them might go and testify on his behalf. But it'll be interesting, the military and the military power that's growing in the Republic is an interesting dilemma for both the clones and the Jedi. Guys like Tarkin, they're gaining more and more control, which is something the Jedi insisted happen at the beginning of the war by saying they're keepers of the peace, not soldiers. But you have to be careful of what you wish for sometimes I guess.
IGN: The next storyline, with Obi-Wan undercover, was interesting in that the final episode had a swerve where some very important stuff happened with Anakin at the end - the idea seemingly being that this was Palpatine's first true attempt to turn Anakin. Was the idea, "Well in Revenge of the Sith, we see it all play out. But what if he tried it already? What if he'd tried, but it didn't work the first time?"

Filoni: That was really a George idea, as all the initial story jumping-off points are. He said, "This is the first attempt. You've seen the second attempt." Because he's trying to get a sense of Anakin's abilities. I think a lot of people just accept the inevitability of Anakin become Palpatine's apprentice, but it's not so cut and dry. If Anakin can't survive the Clone War, if he's not powerful enough, he'll die. And he'll never become Darth Vader. It's not gonna happen. The Emperor's interested in power and being the most powerful person. So it was kind of neat when George explained that to really do this story that was ultimately about Anakin, but doing it all through Obi-Wan Kenobi's point of view and trying to come up with a plan and something that was so layered that the audience doesn't really even see this test of Anakin coming, because the Jedi don't see it coming. And Cad Bane has no idea that's what the purpose of the whole thing is. Even the bounty hunters, to a large extent, get played in the whole thing, because the kidnapping of the Chancellor is such a ruse. It's never really meant to happen even in the way that Cad Bane thinks it's going to happen. So "The Box", everything about it, was just a filtering process to failsafe -- because Dooku knows the Jedi are going to be able to kind of suss something out. So the Box is not really meant to figure out which bounty hunters can't make it through. Because you see the bounty hunters that they need for the mission obviously made it through, like Derrown. But the Box really filtered out Obi-Wan, and it allowed Dooku to understand that that was who was really there, that there was someone, a Jedi, in their midst.

IGN: And by the end of that, you also have a lot of things set up for Revenge of the Sith as far as Anakin mistrusting the Jedi and Mace Windu mistrusting Palpatine.

Filoni: Absolutely. I think it's an important thing because a lot of people, when they watch the movie, they go, "Well how can he turn his back on these people? They're like a family to him." But when you give the greater context of this series, you see, "Well, it might be a family, but the family doesn't trust him. The family doesn't believe in him fully. The family often isn't as much a family as Palpatine is a grandfather." The scene between Ian Abercrombie [as Palpatine] and Matt Lanter [as Anakin] is just phenomenal, when they're walking over to the window. It's probably the most like the prequels our show has ever been. It's really, still to this day for several of us, just devastating with Ian's passing. I mean, he is so brilliant as Palpatine. We still have his work well into next season. So it's great that he's still alive and well, at least in the Star Wars galaxy.
