Clone Wars Episode Review: A War on Two Fronts

WARNING!! : The following contains a review of the titled Clone Wars episode. If you have not seen it you may want to watch it before reading on. :)



I thought the new CW episode was ok. Finally, it had a clone in it. My question still remains *in batman voice*: WHERE IS CODY!!!? I know they just want me to write more to fill in these places *sarcasm*, but I was sad last season because we didn't even get to see his face! X'C What is he doing on his own? Do I seriously need to write another book to fill all this in??! It was an ok episode, I felt like there was some plot holes that, ironically, I cover in my books. Like how the droids found them because their drop ship dropped them off close to where the rebel base is. I was like, "Duh!" right away because in my book Cody makes a point to land like a few HUNDRED miles away so he doesn't jeopardize the people he's supposed to help!! Sure you have to walk a ways but "if you do it smart, then you don't have to worry about another plan". I guess that's the main problem I have with some of the CW episodes: they kinda sacrifice the intelligence of the characters for an ok story. :L I think the intelligence of the characters sometimes makes the story good. Maybe that's why they had to leave Cody behind. He'd be too smart and they'd still be on their way to the rebel base. X) So in that way I'm glad they left him behind because I'd hate him to be like, "Oh sure." to their plan.


Cody would also be the guy to give Lux and that one leader guy a serious talk about getting along. You can't have people squabbling in your regiment or the whole your whole operation is in jeopardy. I don't mean to complain but the thing between Lux and Ahsoka is getting annoying. Xp I don't even really understand why they like eachother that much. Ok, so they talked and had a debate in one episode and after that they liked each other. I liked the idea of Rex and Ahsoka better. They had actually known each other for more than an episode and had been through a lot of stuff together. I'm pretty sure Rex had a sad/slightly jealous look on his face when Ahsoka was giving Lux the goo-goo eyes at the end of the episode. The poor clone gets no love, save from his fangirls. X) And Cody gets even less. DX


I liked the creatures in this episode. It seems like they've been adding more culture and flavor to the Clone Wars, which is exactly how it is! XD <3 I love seeing all the different architecture and flora and fauna. Now for the actual cultures themselves! I want to see some cultural beliefs, some culture-based rules or speculations! :D Like 'Jedi are really sorcerers' or that 'such-and-such is a bad omen so we can't go out fighting today'. Personally, (I know this is getting really digressive and long for something on twitter) I think that the Jedi are kinda like missionaries from the old days. They're kinda disillusioned and don't quite understand the culture. They have the right intentions but are kinda pushing their views on the people, and not taking into account the native's beliefs or reasoning. There are a million things that could be a fault why the people are hesitant about doing something. Example: Maybe by killing people from their planet they'd be committing an offense to the earth spirit or something. Because the Jedi never think to ask, they'll never know this. This being something that could tear their people apart and break a traditional peacekeeping mechanism...*sigh*That's all I've got to say.
