    I've seen 17, 18, 19 and now 20. You are going to see something that, if it is done as well as it was done in chapter 20, will make your ticket money worth seeing Episode 3 4 times over. If they can pull THAT off, then its worth seeing the movie. The CW Cartoon has been a great thing for SW and Lucas overall. It's put some fresh life into the continuing story, shown us something that we've never thought we'd see a Jedi do before, and weapons never imagined. The duel is very, VERY good, but the last chapter left my jaw open.

    This duel fills me with a sense of connection, and historical fuffilment.

    When we first saw ANH, who ever thought, Luke's heroic Jedi Knight father on the verge of being evil himself, faught an evil Sith diciple within the mystic jungles of the moon?

    I've been stuck at rehersals so I've missed all the previous episodes. But last night I was bed-ridden with chills, so I finally got to see an episode! Woohoo! Great fun :D
    The clone that was repeatedly slammed against the tree reminded me of Renfield(sp) in Bram Sticker's Dracula after Dracula get's a hold of him ;)
    I do hope they have a marathon though so I can catch the one's I missed. (56k isn't really good for streaming media)

    >> I thought anakin uses his starfighter *cough* later on in sw<<

    Nope- the only other appearance of his custom starfighter is in the short story "Storm Fleet Warnings", and that is obviously set prior to the events of the cartoon.

    In all other later sources he flies your more typical Jedi Starfighter.

    I particularly liked the scene with Anakin leading the clones through the jungle.
    The silhouette of his hood and the cloak makes a very nice foreshadowing of Vader leading Stormtroopers, hunting down the Jedi... :D It's like'The tables will turn, soon enough'

    I also found the Clones deaths strangely amusing, until we see the one being dragged across the jungle floor to the ship. There was something drawn-out about this one that unsettled me a little. It wasn't a 'quick, violent' death like the others, it seemed a little crueller. Although I know it was done to get Anakin's full attention. I suppose I'm just surprised Ventress didn't play with them all like that...

    Man, this episode rocked. The manner in which Assaj knocked the clones off one by one was amazing. Predator anybody? And the build up to the fight was way out. Cant wait 24 hours for the next one.

    My fav chapter : 17
    My fav CW character : Assaj

    The last time Anakin said " you are gonna pay for ...." he ended up losing an arm. I guess he should fare better this time ;)

    << thought anakin uses his starfighter *cough* later on in sw >>

    The Republic issues him another. Even if they show a future episode with a custom Jedi Starfighter I wouldn't see the problem with this. Anakin is a great pilot and well worth a new fighter.

    Which brings me to the next question. When Anakin tells Assaj Ventress "You'll pay for that", you think he's thinking more about his custom starfighter than all those troopers and R4? :D

    No, I think it was mostly R4 - keep in mind, he didn't yell "My shiiiiiiip!" ;)

    What really fascinates me about the CW cartoons is what kind of action people will find "over the top".

    SO many complaints about Mace, yet none about Asajj in this chapter - her use of TK is unbelievable, and if you go by the movies, she'd be stronger than Yoda, Dooku, or Vader...

    Not that I'm complaining - I LOVE this series.

    I'm just saying it's strange that people complain about the action in certain episodes, while it's been consistently over the top throughout all 17 episodes.

    Poor clone troopers. I would have thought that they would yell out of something.

    Overall, a good episode, had some nice effects in it. Can't wait for tonights.

    I loved the ending... you guys are right though, should have ended before they started duelling.

    Asajj stood there with flames behind her was so stylish. :D

    should have ended before they started duelling.
    I disagree...many comics use that initial clash as a way of keeping the antici...........pation ;) going for the next issue. Even the old "Batman" series used to end on a cliffhanger, it helps build the drama.
