Spoiler

I guess my brain just wasn't working, but I was completely surprised at the reveal that Bo Katan was Satine's sister. It didn't even cross my mind.

I didn't suspect it either. Cool reveal.

 

[Jaycepticon]

Wow....just...wow!!!

Without a doubt, this has become my favorite CW episode ever.

*The reveal with Bo Katan was nice and didn't feel forced. I was literally caught off guard by it. Dave Filoni was right when he said she'd do more than Boba ever did. She had some slick moves.

* 3-way fight was awesome. I loved the way Sidious always had an evil smile. After all the kiddy episodes these past few months, its good to see there's still one evil sonofa***** trying to take over the galaxy.

* Loved the way Savage tried to impale Sidious and missed then ignited the second blade to block Palps attack

* NEVER cared much for Satine but actually felt bad for what happened to her.

One thing that I sort of noticed though was the was A LOT of "homage dialogue". Maybe one too many? I'm also very curious what Sidious has in store for Maul.

 

[DarthTrafford]

That was a great episode this morning!
Great story line and action.
I wonder what the future of Maul is going to be.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Yeah..i still can't get over how much this episode rocked.

Spoiler

Opress went out with honor and had a relatively nice send off I felt. I'll miss him though...he was rarely in a boring episode. In fact, I like all the ones he's in. Im surprised still that Maul was so overwhelmed and beaten so badly to the point of pleading for his life.....I know Palpatine is the master but with all the hype of Maul's comeback last season and his popularity among kids, I thought they would souped Maul up to be the top villain...atleast for a while longer. The way Palpatine handled him though....it truly makes you realize that although they don't show him alot...Palps is the man.

I want to see Palpatine and Mace Windu go at it in the show, though it will never happen. And although there was no intention to make me think of this on the part of the creators, I can't help but watch these force users abilities and make me go back and be even more impressed with Starkiller's abilities when I play Force Unleashed. The things he did in the games, he'd be a wrecking ball on this show.

That ends my randomness.

Maul is going to be used as a pawn to push Anakin further towards the dark path... Sent after Ahsoka?... Padme?... It should be interesting. I'm sure Sidious wants Anakin to deal with Maul the way that he handled those mother-molesting sandpeople.

 

[Drakul]

AWESOME!!!

Spoiler

So many cool things!
First I kinda dug that Death Watch was trying to take back Mandalore along with Satine and I'd dig her sister as the new Mandalore, that'd be cool.
Speaking of Satine it was nice to see her in a less passive role and 'daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!' Obi-Wan can't catch a break, poor guy.
I loved him in mandalorian gear too.

I loved how calculating Maul is in recent episodes.
PALPATINE!!! hell yeah!!!! kick-***.
The first fight was really fun and the second one after Savage dies was even better!
"I have other plans for you mwahahahaa"
Can't wait.
The only thing I wasn't a fan of was Maul pleading like a cub but it just goes to show how scary Sidious is.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Just finished it and like others here, Whoa, just Whoa! Best episode I've seen in the entire Clone Wars series.

Spoiler

Loved the way how a badass Palpatine was in utter command the whole way through in kicking six different kinds of dog crap out of Savage and Maul.

Basically beat Maul into submission....made him blubber like a baby into pleading for his life at the end of their duel. I didn't think Maul would go out like that. *shakes head*

This story arc has made up for the entire season.

That's what I'm saying.

Spoiler

I don't think Savage would have done that. In fact, he accepted his death honorably. I won't lie though, for the split second where Maul looked heated after Sidious killed Savage, I thought he was going to unleash hell. He fought well, but Sidious spanked him.

I know everybody says Maul was begging like a baby at the end but wasn't it the same as what Palpatine did in ROTS? I think the animation department was just able to put a lot more detail in his face and Witwer was able to match it with his performance.

 

[Spartan Rex]

Maul pleading for mercy before Sidious even started lighting him up seemed wildly out of place for the character even with that thrashing he just received.

On the plus side though Kenobi's mature and calm response to Mauls goading to give into hate and the dark side was well played.

I'm pretty sure Palpatine was just acting helpless to give Anakin no other choice but to turn on Mace and "save" Palpatine.

I'm pretty sure Palpatine was just acting helpless to give Anakin no other choice but to turn on Mace and "save" Palpatine.

Which is why I thought Maul was just trying to buy time to find a lightsaber or something to use for one last surprise attack.

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

Had to work today so I just finished.

Holy sh t what an episode! BEST EVER. The show should always be this good. I even cried.

the only complaint- Why didn't sidious come off this much of a badass swordsman in E3??

It didn't come off that way to me. He was just a beaten man and he knew it.

Everybody on this show is more badass than they are in the movies when they aren't held back by actors with limited human reflexes and abilities as well as none-to-very little swordmanship experience. Even Maul is on a whole different level in the show and he actually looked amazing on film. Look at how much more badass Mace Windu was in season 1 compared to Episode 2.


And as far as Palpatine begging in Episode 3, hasn't it been confirmed by Lucas AND the novel that Mace Windu was really about to win (that Palpatine didn't let him to give Anakin the extra push)? In which case, his begging could have likely been sincere. Either way, we know that fear leads to the Dark Side, so it isn't surprising that many of these sith turn towards cowardice when overwhelmed.

Palps begging in E3 was all an act. At least thats how I've always seen it. He gives Anni a little sideways glance to check and see if his act is working.

That's what I always thought too. Ric Flair did it all the time to buy time to find an opening, why not Palp? It's obvious it works.

 

[Gruson]

Loved it!!!

I still prefer Savage over Maul though. Maul just seems off to me in the series. I thought I would love his return but something has never felt or looked right with him. Hate his voice too...

Anyway, what a great episode!!! I did not expect Palatine to fight them. Wow, super intense. Loved all the original trilogy references too. Plus the music rocked.

Well if he was fake-begging while in the face of a real defeat than he's got major cojones...and mucho faith in his persuasive skills.
