TV Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars - "Ambush" - Page 4

The episode concluded tidily. The nuts and bolts are irrelevant. We all know Master Yoda makes it through to Episode VI and the droids get recycled (a nod for you there, Mr. Al Gore) into carbon offsets. Count Dooku (voiced, blessedly, by the wonderful Christopher Lee) gets to growl at Ventress for failure. (Too bad that won’t come to fruition.) The clones get to lock and load for another wild romp with the Jedis.

The big question from Emperor George (like he’s really listening) is - does it work? Yes. Mirroring the saga itself there are flaws. It is not a perfect series but it does work and shows incredible promise. As odd as this sounds, we need some throw away characters, some characters we knew nothing about prior to this little animated romp in merchandising. Maybe then we can develop some character and actually worry about it a little. Not much, Emperor George, just a little. I wouldn’t want you to think I actually started caring about Star Wars again.

    Tim, what R U thinking?!?! "Tinker Bell's big ugly sister"??? Come ON, EVERYONE who has kids
    (or a daughter) knows fairies DON'T have siblings, they're made of a BABY'S laughter, 2 CAN'T be made at the same time (or be realated!!!). And, all though i hate you for insulting Tinker Bell, i agree there SHOULD be more blood and MORE graphics. AND it IS weird that Anikan has a LEARNER with him (Asoka Tano), Because he kills her in episode 3. Keep on goin' and don't stop Tim, i think U R LOL funny!!!!
    (Just DON'T insult Tinker Bell anymore, ok???)
