Clone Wars: Season 3

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Loved this most recent episode.  We got to learn a lot about Ventress, great fight scenes, battles, witches, etc.  Now, this is what the Clone Wars should be!

But Rico!  Didn't you love the Tea episode?  Oh right, your a Gatorade person, thinking of someone else ;)

Yes, this last episode was awesome.  This is Clone Wars.

I am so excited for this story arc and this episode delivers!

The last episode was awesome!

I really love Ventress.  I think it really would have been cool to see a bad-ass female Sith in the prequels.  Much more fun than old Dooku!

People who claim there has been no decent Star wars since the original trilogy really should sit up and take notice of this latest episode and what promises to be a great story arc.....I was in absolute awe. Especially compared to the first half of season 3!! Great stuff!!

I really love Ventress.  I think it really would have been cool to see a bad-ass female Sith in the prequels.  Much more fun than old Dooku!

Couldn't agree more. She's a very complex and interesting character and this arc is really bringing that out.

Very cool episode. FINALLY; some 'official' background on Ventress and some solid character development with her, Sidious, and Dooku.  Speaking of Dooku, it was nice to see him in action. Dude can kick some butt.  ;D

I agree with what you are all saying... but I did enjoy the first half of the season 3 but happy to see some action. I thought it was cool to find out that Ventress and Darth Maul were of the same race of people.

This weeks episode felt like it was five minute long... Loved Savage Opress.. he was bad ass and he looked awesome.

I agree with what you are all saying... but I did enjoy the first half of the season 3 but happy to see some action. I thought it was cool to find out that Ventress and Darth Maul were of the same race of people.

While they are on the same planet, I'm pretty sure they aren't of the same race. Maul and Savage are Zabrak and the females are human. I think they are more like men in service to the Night Sisters. In the books, they like to keep male slaves and breeding stock. Even the Witches that are on the light side follow these traditions.

I think that this is more a case of the Night Sisters having a different species as allies. At least I hope they haven't went against all of the books and guides.

[Bryancd]

Yeah, I believe the retcon on that has the Zabraks coming to Dathomir at some point in the past from their home world. Loved the episode and would love to see some new EU novels come out exploring this whole process of selection and how Darth Maul came to be.

[Rico]

Good episode and some awesome fights.  Savage Oppress is pretty nasty.  But I have a few questions/issues....

First, when Dooku shows up to visit the Night Sisters why don't they just take him out then?  Why go to all the bother with giving Dooku a new apprentice??

And Oppress doesn't seem to have the force.  Sorry, but again I find it touch hard to believe how quickly he takes out two Jedi.  Darth Maul I had no issue with.  He was very well trained, had good mastery of the darkside of the force and was a believable foe.  I know they need to give the Jedi opponents but without the force, it always makes me have a hard time buying it.  I have had the same trouble with Cad Bane.

[Bryancd]

I'm not sure that the Nigh Sisters want to take out Dooku, Ventress wants her revenge but Mother Talzin seems to have a different agenda. In regards to fighting the Jedi, yeah he dispatches them pretty quick but for me it gets back to the old Superman debate. If Jedi are too good and can't be killed it looses any suspense.

Liam Neeson to voice Qui-Gon Jinn in 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
by Christian Blauvelt

Liam Neeson is returning to that Galaxy Far, Far Away. EW has learned exclusively that the actor will reprise his Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace role as doomed Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn on Cartoon Network's Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Jan. 28 and again on Feb. 11. He'll be voicing Qui-Gon, who appears to Obi-Wan Kenobi in visions, in a three-part arc about his former protégé Anakin Skywalker's destiny as the Chosen One.

Though The Clone Wars has featured a number of high-profile guest-stars, including Seth Green, George Takei, Michael York, Ron Perlman, Clancy Brown, and director Jon Favreau, Neeson is by far the biggest name yet attached to the series (airing Friday nights at 8:30 pm ET). Considering the backlash against The Phantom Menace, and Neeson's string of post-Star Wars critical and box-office hits, to voice a character on The Clone Wars might seem to be an unexpected — and even brave — move. But his connection to the saga runs deeper. Neeson tells EW he wanted to return to Star Wars because he felt that "these characters resonate...even after all these years." He adds, "Growing up, my heroes were cowboys; they were strong and mysterious, and it seemed like they always rode off into the sunset. For kids today, Star Wars has that same kind of magic. I really wanted to be a part of that." And he still is.

To help you geek out in advance, here's an exclusive clip from Neeson's first episode as he, in spectral form, confronts his former Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. And be sure to check out our weekly Clone Wars recaps!

It won't let me embed the video.. so go to this link to watch it.
