Anyway, onto my impressions of the Anakin/Assajj episodes...
I'll keep this short, but basically I enjoyed them. A bit much at times with the hopping around and things, but that appears to be a theme to the Clone Wars. Lots of over-the-top Jedi action... Use of force powers beyond the films, etc...
It's neat, but the Assajj/Anakin fight came into its own in the last episode when he offed her using the darkside. GREAT climax. Great enemy pawn character. Great effects to show him "turning" and using his dark powers. Great death for Assajj. Great weather effects with the thunderstorm to set the mood.
This episode, in and of itself, embodies Star Wars, and the hype that SHOULD circle Episode III.
Great stuff, and a great way to show Anakin's not just disobeying orders, but he's also acting out on his dark emotions now... Anger's going beyond vengeance for a loved one, but to all out rage when fighting his enemies. Overpowering them as Luke overpowerd Vader himself at the end of ROTJ.
This is right up there as the best episode of the series. Can't wait for the last two, to see if they top it. Good stuff.
Could not agree with you anymore!
I totally felt an intro to Episode III in tonights episode!
That yell that Anakin mad too, was vicious! I am scared of that young fellow!
This above all was the best episode, *cough* tomorrows will be better *cough*!
I did notice towards the end of the whole Clone Wars series, I started too see alot of changes in the whole republic though, I felt them too?
Weird?
