    "Despite what Anakin thinks, Tiin is pretty much the best pilot of the Jedi... he should be smashing those babies to bits."

    Dispite the fact the Jedi Council in the last episode admits Anakin the best pilot the Jedi have?

    Tin is an 8, Adi Galia is an 8.5, Anakin is a 10.

    Or did you think Obi Wan was joking when he said Anakin was the best star pilot in the galaxy? [face_mischief] :p

    Sorry. I'll try to keep my continuity rants to the Lit. forum where we live for that stuff. :-B

    I noticed that Anakin is not wearing the 'black glove' yet.

    He's been wearing it all through the comics....bah, there's another one! Okay, shutting up about continuty now...

    I loved it when Obi-Wan said "What a wonderful smell you've discovered." I almost died laughing with that one.

    I almost died too, but it was because I wanted to shoot myself in the face. :p Eh...to each his own. :)

    >>But unlike most EU projects Lucas is heavily involved in at least this volume.<<

    Actually, Lucas wasn't that involved in this volume- at least not more than most EU sources out there. The novel "Labyrinth of Evil" has more direct input from Lucas than Clone Wars does.

    It's just that Clone Wars took part of what LOE portrayed and adapted or added to what was there.

    Continuity-wise, there really aren't many problems- especially when you realize Chapters 21 and 22 span a good amount of time (hell, there's a jump of over two years between scenes 1 and 2 of Chapter 21) and bookend or jump in and out of the events from the novels and comics.

    Mostly all I can do is echo all the positive stuff everyone has said about this episode.

    I will say I liked the ending. Little side adventures are very Star Wars in my mind. (Jabba the Hutt side adventure anyone?)

    I think the bug eating on a deeper level just better develops Anakin as a boy from a world like tatooiene, where you might eat what you can get to survive. Very well done.

    The GG and Dooku seems to be the favorite..but for me the most interesting part of that sequence is what Dooke actually tells GG as they fight....that's real no kidding martial arts principles people.

    Finally I am surprised nobody caught Obi Wan's suspicious glance at Mace when Mace agrees so easily with Palpatine about the mission. I think Obi-Wan's misgivings at that moment are key to what will happen next with the tribe people.

    I think its another big distraction, much like the one in the Novel Labryth of evil.

    You'd think Anakin and Obi would be better at not getting tricked by Revenge of the Sith!

    No one seems to have mentioned the greatest part of the episode for me, Eeth Koth/ really light Agen Kolar had a crimson lightsaber! For someone like me that grew up with the comics and novels, this is a great event and hopefully a prieview of new colors in Episode III.

    Also, I got the Clone Wars volume I DVD tonight- and the Bridging the saga featurette had early animation of Roron Corobb fighting one of Grievous' magnaguards! This confirms that we'll see the duel between Grievous, Roron Corobb, Foul Moudama, and random female jedi that was in Labyrinth of Evil.

    Sweet : )

    And I would venture a guess that the pink planet is CLakdor VII - as it's the only pink planet I've ever heard of in Star Wars - also was mentioned in Labyrinth of Evil - so it's possible.

    The lights out in the apartment, well, we just saw the conception of the twins, people.

    How did he get the scar? That was not answered, and the passage of time was nice, his hair long, Obi-Wans not - but HOW MUCH TIME HAS GONE BY?

    And the sewer - was that intentionally made to look like Dark Forces? It sure reminded me of it...

    The second chapter of the new season was overall pretty good, with just a minor thing to nit pick.

    The whole sequence about Obi Wan and Anakin in the tent shows the different early life paths they took. The fact that Obi Wan was disgusted by the bug eating shows Anakin as someone who grew up the hard way on Tattooine, while Obi Wan was sheltered at the temple. Very well done on showing the difference between them.

    Even though GG still is a possible diaster waiting to happen in ROTS, the training session with Dooku is nice to hear Dooku's advice on fighting Jedi, possibly a way to make the fact that GG will be a Jedi killer more believe come May.

    My only complaint is they are starting to throw too many lines from the OT into the series now. That needs to be toned down, it just sounds too forced at this point.

    Good catch. I didn't notice that. I was more thinking "Wait...this doesn't look like Naboo..." :p

    So this wwould make this episode go from about 9 months before RotS to what? 5 or 6 months? I sense more time hopping *sigh*

    The episode rocked.

    And I recall asking my girlfriend about Episode 21 "She didn't look pregnant in the hologram, did she?" and her responding in Episode 22 with the lights going out "That looks pregnant-making to me!"

    How did he get the scar?

    The Dark Horse Republic comics showed Anakin recieving his scar from Assaj Ventress during another fight between the two of them on Coruscant.

    Ventress was not in Jedi trial, it may have mentioned that he got it from her in Jedi Trial though. The only Lightsaber wielding bad guy in Jedi Trial is Dooku and he only in Hologram a few times(GG is mentioned once I believe)

    >>The lights out in the apartment, well, we just saw the conception of the twins, people.<<

    Actually, I believe that occurs about a few weeks prior in the comic Obsession.

    >>How did he get the scar?<<

    Ventress gives it to him in Republic #71.

    >>but HOW MUCH TIME HAS GONE BY?<<

    ok, here are my thoughts

    1) are we sure that is Chewbacca? Why, because he growled?
    2) I for one like the OT quotes. "There are alternatives to fighting"
    3) the beginning montage - this episode takes place over several months. Naboo. Padme touches scar, long shot of skyline with one light on. light goes out. Maybe this is the conception of the twins.

    rundow says..."I can't believe no one has noticed that it was implied during chapter 2 that Padme and Anakin ...(did IT)

    its clear as day.... with the light in the room going off.... "


    dead on, man, dead on.

    4) The end part with the tribe. I don't think there is any more to it. Palps wants Obi-wan out of the way. he has tried on numerous occasions to have him killed or separated from anakin. he insisted they go there after GG - wanted them away from the capital. But I didnt realize the Marvel Universe was in the Oter Rim ;) (Did they not look like Nightcrawler?)

    I think its another big distraction, much like the one in the Novel Labryth of evil.

    You'd think Anakin and Obi would be better at not getting tricked by Revenge of the Sith!


    Anakin is reckless, and trusts Palps whole heartedly. Obi-wan is a good soldier and obey's orders

    5) Quest, great timeline. thanks.

    Just noticed that myself. 'Tis odd. Hope they don't do that in the film or it will confuse the hell out of most of the audience.

    This was an awesome chapter. Hopefully the tribal side quest will be cool and I don't think they need an OT quote in every episode.
