| On the Viewer - Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Episode 20 - "Innocents of Ryloth") |
 by Fëanor |
Some of the clones are a little racist! Calling Twi'leks tailheads and all.
The droids have ground weapons that can take out capital ships. That's hardcore.
The Separatists have another of those smart, tactical droids in charge (or possibly the same one from before? I can't remember what happened to him). That always makes things a little more interesting.
I'll never get tired of watching a Jedi deflect blaster bolts with his lightsaber.
During a lull in the fighting, each side sends out spies to try to discover what the other side plans to do. Neat.
What's with the clone being all philosophical about cities?
One of the clones, who goes by Waxer, seems to be keeping a tally of some kind on his helmet. Number of droids destroyed? He's made a friend of a little Twi'lek girl who somehow avoided capture. His partner, Boil, is not too happy about it. This is actually pretty touching, this relationship they're building between the clone and the girl. This show is always so much better when it focuses on the clones. It's odd that the characters who are all pretty much the same are the best ones in the series, and somehow all manage to stick out as such interesting individuals.
I suspect the girl, Boil, and Waxer will save the day because they're not acting according to any orders or logic; they're variables the droid commander has not taken into account.
Interesting how Obi-Wan is able to lure the attacking beasts away using the force. I'm not sure I remember seeing Jedi do something like that before. He then orders the clones to create a cave-in, trapping the beasts, and nimbly leaps away. Clever and cool.
I was right about Boil, Waxer, and the girl. She can lead them through underground tunnels to the prisoners.
Heh heh. A Battle Droid is cleaning out the beasts cages and says, "Yep, this is about the worst job in the droid army." Then Obi-Wan sneaks up on him and locks him in the cage. "Ohh," he sighs.
Aww, the girl got reunited with her Dad. That warms my cold, cynical heart. Also warming my heart: all the droid killing. Can't get enough droid killing.
Obi-Wan has hijacked a giant cannon and is taking out the other cannons with it. Awesome.
A droid just said, "Seti Alpha 5 or 6." Nice Star Trek II reference!
Wow! The Twi'lek's got pissed and pulled the droid commander apart with their bare hands. Impressive!
It's really pretty cool how they do these longer, multi-part stories that spread across a series of episodes and focus on one campaign or another.
Aww. The little girl was calling the clones "brother." That's so cute!
Man, every time I'm ready to give this show up, they do an episode like this that's really smart, though-provoking, action-packed, moving, and entertaining. Now I'm going to have to watch at least one more episode. Hopefully it won't involve Anakin or Ahsoka. |
