	Agreed! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Padme did NOT need rescuing - it was great to see her kick some butt!! (but she needs a new set of travelling clothes) And it was great to see the parallels between Three-So and Master Bombad Jar Jar was great - seriously when he was 'talking' Gungan to the swamp creature, it was hilarious!! I really enjoy that they continue to show his child-like innocence. He may not be the best dude for the job, but he sincerely tries and is honestly brave when the situation calls for it. I found I couldn't stop staring at Uncle Ano's eyes - they were so strange and yet oddly compelling. Again, the animation is simply amazing and continues to impress! Next week - Cloak of Darkness!! Can't wait to see Master Luminara in action!!! -----signature----- Never tell me the odds! Your focus determines your reality.

	Bombad Jedi another great episode Binks was great, Padme really kicked a$$, the introduction of Commander Gree and his crew of Clones awesome. Have to agree with the speaking Gungan to the creature was jokes and the interaction with C-3PO and Jar Jar was great. A good stand alone episode and it will be interesting to see how the plot of the capture of Nute Gunray plays out in up coming episodes. Great show and is only getting better can't wait for this weeks episode. -----signature----- http://www.red5collectibles.com

	I was looking on my PVR for next week and I think they are replaying Ambush. At least that what it said. DOwn the States the trailer attached to bombad Jedi was the complete 3 episode of Malevolence back to back. SO I think they are taking a week off due to the US thanksgiving on Thursday. I really hope not I guess we'll just have to wait and cross our fingers. As far as Jar Jar he really wants to be a hero and tries his best. He's also one of the luckiest characters in the SW universe. As he could have dies many times trying to save Padme. Padme kicked some serious butt in the detention center but she could have did that even before the ramp to the center. -----signature----- Y.N.B. - 07 @ C4 Calgary Fan Force Home Page http://www.calgaryfanforce.com .

	It sounded to me like there is a different voice-actor for Padme. She sounded better in the movie (both played on the same speakers - so that is not part of the issue). -----signature----- Doctor Connors - '07 @ C4 http://www.members.shaw.ca/Jedi.Ranger/ http://www.members.shaw.ca/Dahak/

	'Bombad Jedi', while not being my favorite episode of the series was nevertheless an entertaining half-hour. I enjoyed seeing Padme out on her own and performing actions that didn't require Force training to save the day. A pleasant surprise was Tom Kenny's performance as Nute Gunray, a villain we haven't seen in action since Episode II in the chronology (well, the blink and you miss it cameo at the top of TCW movie, but that's it). His obsession with seeing Padme dead proves to be his downfall, once again illustrating that revenge is bad for Separatist business. For all that though, the episode did raise an intriguing point in the Republic's continued failure to come to the aid of Rodia. The Rodian Prime Minister(or whoever he was, I didn't quite catch his name or title) did make some key points that while the war may have galvanized the Republic into a more proactive stance on the martial front the underlying graft and corruption of the senate is still there nonetheless. Might the Separatists have a point? Now we come to the elephant in the room. Jar. Jar. Binks. The penultimate acid test of my acceptance of the prequels into the saga. How'd it go? Actually, not too bad. Jar Jar is still unbelievably, teeth-grindingly annoying, but the fact that he nonetheless steps up to the plate and attempts (in his highly spastic way) to save his friend redeems him in my eyes. Ahmed Best brings a childlike innocence to the Gungan klutz that does a lot to offset the hate. Jar Jar's 'battle tactics' seem to be ruthlessly effective, even if he is completely, blissfully unaware of the havoc that's wrought by his clumsiness. I won't be president of his fan club, but the CW team found a use for Jar Jar that served the plot, made sense, and fit into the story rather than distracting and detracting from it. For that alone Filoni and his team deserve a raise. ~StacyD -----signature----- 'There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.

	The episode preview is up on starwars.com for Cloak of Darkness - wow!! There are more cool Separatist Droids introduced, there's a shot for what looks like Gree (or one of his troops) buying the farm, and lots of Luminara vs. Ventress fight goodness!!! Since Ventress is there to break out Nute Gunray, this is obviously the continuation of the Bombad Jedi story. Sucks that we have to wait two weeks for it though -----signature----- Never tell me the odds! Your focus determines your reality.

	Cloak of Darkness (airing this Sunday) was written by Paul Dini. He's a great writer and has written for the Batman series as well as the TV show LOST. The preview is up on starwars.com, however there isn't a web-comic up as yet. Bring on Luminara!!! The phrase 'girl on girl action' has new meaning now -----signature----- Never tell me the odds!

	I just checked zap2it.com and CW is not listed for the next couple of weeks. I am so depressed. Although, I did see that "The Clone Wars" movie is on pay per view starting today (Des 5th). And Behind the Scenes is on tonight as well on Space. 9:30 i think. Darth Paul -----signature----- I didn't know I had a dark side! http://members.shaw.ca/paul.reeves/ http://www.calgaryfanforce.com/

	Bah! That sucks Interesting that the commander of the Senate guard is NOT a clone - and is voiced by James Marsters (aka Spike on Buffy/General Zod on Smallville).. Edit: sorry - Brainiac. Guess I have to pay attention more -----signature----- Never tell me the odds! Your focus determines your reality.

	Once again thanks to PreludeRM, a few of us got to see this absolutely amazing episode (and that's tough to say given that every episode has been simply fantastic)!!!! More Master Luminara please - she kicked some ASS!! Ahsoka was really great too - teaching a master a thing or two. Ventress actually completes her mission and demonstrates how lethal she can be Nute Gunray was hilarious: 'Let me out and I'll buy you a planet!' -----signature----- Never tell me the odds!
