    The Jedi Who Knew Too Much

    +The funeral scene
    +Music was great in this episode, where was Kiner
    +Barriss
    +Tarkin
    +"...rarely without strategy"
    +Geonosis call back
    +The conversation between Barriss and Ahsoka
    +Anoat system
    +The Republic military citadel
    +"Avoiding neutral systems", good continuation of the theory in the Mauldalore arc
    +Jedi as military weapons, Letta had some good lines here
    +Letta's death scene
    +"I can't blame you..."
    +Chin touch
    +"This is now a military operation..."; Great Imperial foreshadowing
    +Rex standing up for Ahsoka
    +That chase sequence...oh that chase sequence...
    +Awesome helment for the clone with the creature
    +The sheer emotion between Anakin and Ahsoka
    +Perfect pacing
    +Everything about this episode was GORGEOUS, but that animation alone, ooh la la...

    I honestly don't think Barriss is the bomber honestly, it seems way too obvious for an answer, plus why would she frame Ahsoka in the first place, even to let her escape? It doesn't make sense - why not just frame another Jedi in that case? I'm with Senator Kelberry on this one...

    Brilliant, brilliant episode. What an arc this is, I am very impressed so far.

    So after cooling down a bit from watching this last week, I've decided it's not as bad as I initially thought. Even Ahsoka isn't that bad, and I do admire that the TCW team is willing to take such a radical direction with her character and how she relates to the Jedi Order and Anakin in particular.

    And goddamn is this episode pretty. Very well put together. Great atmospheric depicitions of Coruscant, from the ominous military base to the dark and dank sewers. And everyone's character models are top notch. I noticed Tarkin's fingers are particularly more finger-like and less boxy appendages from earlier seasons. And speaking of the devilish rascal, he was a definite highlight of the episode. Some damn fine voice acting there.

    A lot of great Anakin moments here. We see shades of the man who'll eventually make a deal with the devil to save the woman he loves, and he clearly cares deeply for Ahsoka. I imagine this arc will be very similar to the Rako Hardeen arc in regards to moving Anakin closer to the man we see in ROTS.

    7/10

    Every positive thing about this episode has been said, so I won't say anymore, other than that Clone trooper with the mask and Massiff looked pretty badass. I hope we learn more about him.

    10, awesome episode is awesome. Neatest portrayal of Anakin in the entire series and Matt Lanter knocked it out of the park with his performance. Great to see Barriss. I really liked the drama, action, and suspense as the mysterious plot of frame Ahsoka unfolded and she ended up running away resulting in an epic chase. Its a character driven treat. This episode finally filled me up for some clone action with the pursuit. There are some interesting characterfuls with Fox and Rex and great callbacks to previous episodes here as well.

    Visually brilliant, but the chase scene just was far too long, reaching ridiculous length (imo).

    10/10 Easily the best TCW episode by far... WHO THE HELL SET UP SNNNIIIIIPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSSSS?!?!?!?!?!?

    Jedi Funeral was awesome. Tarkin was awesome, Ashoka was BOSS, owned tarkin at the temple.... Chase scene was EPIC. Just wow. Shocking just when I thought TCW wouldnt be topped, it got even better. Ashoka, Tarkin, and anakin are at the top of their game here. That tunnel scene. WOW..... I'm very excited for tomorrow's episode and the season finale. What the hell is gona happen?!?!?!?

    heres an interesting feature that goes along with the episode I think everyone should check out: http://starwars.com/watch/the-jedi-who-knew-too-much-featurette.html

    Anakin was portrayed poorly early on imo, but they made up for that later.

    I couldn't give this a 10 because the Fugitive homage was just too exact and they just couldn't resist including Ahsoka's annoyance factor.

    9/10

    I originally gave this a 4/10 but I'm bumping it to a 6. I think it's worth adding a couple more points just due to the discussion and debate it's sparked lately.

    I think it took Ahsoka way out of character; the only aspect of her that was in character was her being annoying. And I just generally didn't enjoy it as much as the last episode.

    I really enjoyed Anakin here, other than the whole "Revenge isn't the Jedi way." Oh hell, I enjoyed that too, given that I laughed my ass off.

    I actually think she's become a lot less annoying over the last two seasons. Forced maturity is forced but at least she isn't a cocky bitch like in the Citadel arc.

    10. One of the best. Didn't mind The Fugitive homage. Great animation. Awesome Imperial feel to the facility.

    This was a fantastic episode and an equally fantastic continuation of this story arc. I really like how the story moved along with Ahsoka being framed, supposedly by the real villain behind the temple bombing in the previous episode. There was lots of great character moments, some very nice dialogue as well and that second half with the chase after Ahsoka was just great; the tension and the mood with the rain and all helped it a lot & that last scene with Anakin confronting her before she decides to jump out of the pipe to get away was really quite dramatic. The bit where Letta was being force choked and Ahsoka was caught on the security camera having her arms outstretched towards her felt a bit convenient for the plot, but other than that I didn't really find any flaws so I was incredibly impressed with this one. Overall, an epic episode.

    10/10
