Hey, Kaiielle! LIGHTSABER LOST: The opening montage is from the Season 1 finale which hasn't happened yet chronologically thereby explaining the unfamiliar footage. This episode is based on Akira Kurosawa's 1949 classic "Stray Dog" set in post-World War II Japan. Toshiro Mifune plays a young detective who loses his gun and partners with an older detective played by Takashi Shimura to track it down. It's an excellent police procedural and provides a fascinating snapshot of Japan during a transitional period. A film well worth reacting to! This episode was specifically designed by Dave Filoni as a key growth episode for Ahsoka. Master Librarian Jocasta Nu, first seen in live-action in "Attack of the Clones", is featured again. The female criminal with braided black hair seen on Jocasta's video screen is one of the Tonnika sisters seen in live-action in the Mos Eisley cantina in "A New Hope"! This episode introduces Cosian Master Tera Sinube. You gotta love the old boy's lightsaber cane! "So, you're saying there was something...fishy...about him." Tera Sinube is a master at excruciating PUN...ishment! It's unfortunate the aged Jedi isn't featured more prominently throughout the series because I would have liked him to weigh in on matters of import down the line. The listing jumbotron Ahsoka was clinging to was broadcasting a message by Palpatine supportive of the Jedi against claims of their perpetuation of the war. Those vicious rumors of self-serving Jedi were being spread by Palpatine himself to sway public opinion against the Order! This whole episode had a "Blade Runner" feel to it with the vertiginous angles, congested streets, busy traffic and neon lights. And what urban thriller would be complete without a subway chase? In Episode 4 of "Obi-Wan Kenobi", Cosian Master Tera Sinube is the first Jedi seen entombed in amber in the bowels of Fortress Inquisitorius.

2022-06-19 19:05:41 +0000 UTCHey, Kaiielle! THE DESERTER: This is a great clone episode! The introduction of the clones: Cut Lawquane (brown hair and short pony tail) Jesse (blue piping, Republic symbol tattooed on face) Hardcase (blue piping, parallel line tattoo on left temple) Kix the Medic (blue piping, lightning shaved into scalp fuzz) Cut's living the dream! He survived the killing fields of Geonosis and scored a hot Twi'lek wife! Lol. Suu's children, Jek and Shaeeah, are too old to be Cut's own as he's been a defector two years at this point so they're from a prior relationship. Suu was either a single mom, a divorcee or a widow. Nevertheless, humans and Twi'leks are genetically compatible to interbreed. Cut's family is not at risk from Order 66 because they're not Jedi. Cut entertains Rex with a game of dejarik, the holo-chess game first seen on the 'Millenium Falcon' in " A New Hope". The animal Grievous was using as a mount was a reek, the rhino-like beast from the arena sequence in "Attack of the Clones". The shambling commando droids attacking every point of entry to the homestead was meant to evoke the close-quarters siege of the farmhouse in George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead".

2022-06-19 19:04:22 +0000 UTCHey, Kaiielle! GRIEVOUS INTRIGUE: This is a solid action episode that often gets overlooked because it doesn't advance any major plots. The introductions of Zabrak Master Eeth Koth and Tholothian Master Adi Gallia who were both seen in "Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones" Jedi Council scenes. During the Jedi Temple holo-conference, Commander Wolffe, Kel Dor Master Plo Koon's main clone, is shown with his eye injury for the first time as he brings attention to Eeth Koth's hand signals! Wolffe was the unarmored clone trapped in the lifepod with Plo Koon in "Rising Malevolence" (Season 1, Episode 2). Briefly viewed in the background of the holo-conference scene is Weequay Master Sora Bulq who, in the non-canonical Legends of Dark Horse comics, has an amazing story arc! He's one of many Jedi to become disenchanted with the role the Order is playing in the war and becomes one of the few to openly resist the Council by forming an anti-war movement. He succumbs to the Dark Side becoming a Dooku acolyte and has a vicious duel with Mace Windu! Later, he assassinates Thisspiasian Master Oppo Rancisis, the Jedi who looks like a hairy snake! Ultimately, he battles conflicted Kiffar Master Quinlan Vos struggling with his own descent to the Dark Side while undercover in Dooku's service. Vos kills Bulq to save his own former Master Tholme in a great three-way duel! It's exciting stuff I wish had been kept canon by Disney but unfortunately it wasn't. General Grievous is shown as strategically effective and threatening in this episode which usually isn't the case in this series. To see an unstoppably ferocious Grievous, you must see the 2003 non-canon Micro-series! The commando droids with their vibro-blades were heavily showcased in this episode. Notice that Anakin and Grievous are again kept apart since they cannot meet until "Revenge of the Sith".

2022-06-19 19:02:03 +0000 UTCLove Cut and his family! RIP Master Sinube in Kenobi 😢. This was definitely the first real time Rex is MORE of a Character, he has been there since the Clone Wars Movie, but has mostly been Cool, Respectful Soldier dude up until this episode with Cut. Great to see it. And did you notice how Master Sinube had a different color lightsaber, it is a VERY Light blue (almost white) but technically blue still. Pretty cool!

2022-06-15 19:49:40 +0000 UTCJust like we got with Luminara last episode, we get another idealogical/ethical/moral topic that is discussed throughout this show. We started off with Slick talking about how clones are just slaves, and now we have Cut deciding to leave and have a different purpose rather than just a soldier. Rex had to deal with both, and it just adds to his character development and gives him some unique experiences when it comes to clones.

2022-06-15 08:03:35 +0000 UTCSince you liked master Sinube, i suggest you rewatch the tomb scene in the Kenobi show episode 4, that one of the reason it hit so hard for Clone Wars fans. Cut is indeed a great character. A little lore detail, he is not the biological father of his kids, he adopted them. ( they are both more than 3 years old and this episode is within the first year of the clone wars or the start of the second, so timeline wise it must be that way.) It does not change anything, he married a widow from the war and adopted the kids, it works great. I won't expand on order 66 for spoilers reason but using only episode 3, it is an order to kill Jedi and you have to receive it. By being a deserter and his family being non Jedi, they should be fine.
