Full Series The Clone Wars: Episode 416: Friends and Enemies Discussion Thread

I'll be disappointed if we don't get a scene like this at some point during the arc.

 

3 and a half hours and counting

 

I'm actually looking forward to an episode. God I hope they don't screw it up.

 

-sigh- Stuck here until 11:30pm. I hate it for so many reasons and the rainbow that is a new episode of TCW isn't helping.

 

Your hours suck Niki. I know that feel. I hope they're not making you work tomorrow as well.

 

12:30pm-9:30pm tomorrow. I can count the number of Saturdays I've had off in the last three years on one hand.

 

The end of the world is happening Fanboy is looking forward to a Clone Wars episode

 

Boy, Bane seems a little out of character to me. He always seemed to have a "professional" air about him, just like Fett was in the OT and the subsequent novels. But not so in this episode. Or rather, at least not until they reach halfway through the episode.

Ships like the Hound's Tooth and Lady Luck? The ship fanatics are going to go nuts.

Nice references to ESB.

Whoa. Whoa. Anakin using the Force grip and choke combo while Ahsoka's watching. And she doesn't do anything to chastize him? I'm beginning to think that future version of herseon on Mortis is right. She needs to leave Anakin and soon.

Talk about a harsh fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan.

 

Not going to lie, I grinned when I saw Indy's hat being looked over by Cad Bane in the shop. As for the episode itself? Enjoyed it, looking forward to see how the rest will play out.

 

They really are hitting all cylinders in this arc so far.

Another tremendous episode. I actually found myself fearing for Bane's life at the end with how angry Anakin was.

Nice Rex cameo too, I wish Mace's question was answered before Palpatine came back into picture.

 

Yeah, I thought that was Indy's hat. Pretty cool.

I think there was a Sy Snootles cameo too when Anakin was entering the cantina.

Definitely a great good follow-up. Nice to see Bane and have Obi-Wan interact with him in this way.

-Nal Hutta was cool to see. Liked the design of the bar and the surrounding area.

-Getting to see more and more OT aliens like the Gamoerrians and the Bith.

-They're heading for Seranno, Dooku's homeworld. Awesome.

-Ahsoka not backing an eyelid when Anakin choked the hammerhead is disturbing but I don't see her falling to the dark side. Having Rex hang around Palpatine is definitely troubling.

-Last and certainly not least, it was nice to have an episode where the late Ian Abercrombie got to feature in it so prominently. He did a good job as Palpatine and we got some classic Palpatine manipulation of Anakin here. Definitely see the tone for Mace's mistrust of Anakin although I blame Mace Windu completely on this one for not telling Anakin about Obi-Wan sooner. He and Yoda should have told Anakin a lot sooner, they know the way Anakin is but they absolutely invited trouble here by not telling him sooner.

 

"Over my dead corpse"

As opposed to your alive corpse?

 

Well we HAVE seen undead in the show before.

 

Another great episode! I loved the western feel and the diversity of the environments. I also loved Palpatine's intervention in Jedi affairs, and his personal use of the 501st. The scenes with him have convinced me that he is working toward something really sinister through the kidnapping. Overall, I'm loving the ratio established between a simple disagreement among bounty hunters and a possibly galaxy-changing conspiracy. I definitely can't wait for the final two installments!

 

ZOMG! THIS EPISODE WAS AMAZING.

-I saw that look, as they left the bar - I reckon she was worried, but also afraid to step up and say something. What if he lashes out at her?

-When I saw Anakin pull his lightsaber on Bane, I thought, "Bane is toast." But OW intervened.

-The last act had me jumping out of my seat. I was yelling at the screen, when OW had to knock out Anakin. OW had to hurt his best friend!

-Palpatine is slimy. I'm so glad this story is being told, because... I just see Palpatine driving a wedge between Anakin and the Council, and he's succeeding magnificently. And holy crap, did they upgrade the Palpatine character model? He looked better than ever.

-I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. The poor guy just figured it out. I can tell he's p*****. Mace Windu better watch his back.

 

This might be my favorite episode of the season.

-Finally nice to see Palpatine as the manipulative bastard he truly is.
-Loved the interaction between Bane and Obi-Wan
-Nice to see Nal Hutta again!
-Indy reference FTW!
-I do dig that Eval speaks in third person
-The fight scene had me at the edge of my seat.....even though I knew what was going to happen.

Great episode.....9/10

 

Boy, that episode was good! I mean, really good. The action scenes even left me breathless a couple of times. Anakin being really dark, torturing civilians is just whoa! Although a couple of times I though I'd like it even better if Hardine was just Hardine - we really need an episode from a perspective of the criminals.

 

Great episode, cool story, and nice action scenes. Did anyone else catch the hutt slugging it's way along in the background on Nal Hutta?

 

That was absolutely fantastic! Best line, "Here's your reward, I'm not gonna kill you!" Cad Bane is a million times cooler than Boba Fett. Story: great; writing: great; visuals: great; action: great. Indy reference was awesome, Sy Snootles cameo, Nal Hutta looked more as I imagined it & Asoka's worried look at Anakin as they left the bar. I'm gonna miss this show when it's gone...

 

Very good episode, the action was crisp and most of all, its was nice to see Palps in his manipulative way. Excellent, can't wait for next week.

 

Liked the episode, but not as much as I liked Deception.

- Palps manipulating Anakin worked well here.

- Obi-Wan and Cad Bane need a variety show. I'd watch the hell out of it.

- "Anakin. Don't follow me." For some reason, I really liked how JAT delivered those lines. Simple, but powerful.

- I've kinda had enough of seeing Anakin Force choke people (beings?).

- Obi-wan was punching Anakin like nuts. Damn, lol.

- So, Anakin says that he felt a connection after getting choked out. Does he suspect that Rako is Obi-Wan and is just keeping that from Ahsoka or does he have no clue and just thinks that Obi-Wan is alive somewhere? Because if he didn't feel a connection before and then all of a sudden felt one when fighting Rako, well...2+2=4, right? Maybe he would've felt a connection before but his anger and grief were clouding his judgement. I guess we'll see.

- I wonder if Obi-Wan would've used the Force to blow his cover if Cad Bane hadn't conveniently saved his butt.

- Looks like Anakin and Ahsoka are about to do some detective work. Might be cool.

- This continuing lack of preview clips is annoying.

All in all, probably the best "filler" episode of an arc that this show has had. I'm looking forward to next week.

 

its the fourth year in and just tonight i started thinking "now that it's getting good... is it almost over?"

 

Loved this episode, one of the best this season!
I highly doubt this show is anywhere near done, were guaranteed a season 5 and season 6 was confirmed somewhere to be confirmed to be in scripting or something

 

ZOMG THE LADY LUCK!

Lando Calrissian´s ship from ´Jedi Outcast´ (Game)

[image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/9/9e/Lady_luck-nar_shaddaa.png]

Great episode!

So Mace WAS going to tell him... nice!

 

It's Lando's Ship from Heir to the Empire. The art work on it actually likely dates back to at least the Dark Force Rising Sourrce Book from 1992 or 1993.

Yeah its a pretty sweet little inclusion.

There is even a Micro Machine toy of it.

Edit: Going quickly to my library the ship does appear in the Heir to the Empire Surce Book as some small pictures, published in 1992. The DFRSB gives a more detailed look at it.
