Wow, this 3 story arc was incredible. Last nights episode was thrilling.

Yep - really cool episode last night. Great fights, lightsaber battles, all very exciting stuff. And it doesn't seem to be over by a long shot too.

Wow, who got chills when[spoiler] Darth Maul appeared? That is Darth Maul right? Wonder how he survived that fall... but WOW that really was just an awesome episode.[/spoiler] This three-part-arc has totally made up for the not-so-greatness here as of late.

Btw, Dooku kicks a lot of ass, really shows how powerful he is.

You sure about that?! If so, I think that is a terrible idea.

Yeah, it was actually spoiled in SW Insider mag last month. Who did you think it was? it will be interesting to see ho they explain it, but I don't mind the idea. When it comes to SW nothing is set in stone. Until GL kicks the bucket!

Cruise by TheForce.net or Rebelscum.com or TheForcecast.com, it's the talk of the town!

I totally agree.

Still, an awful idea. There is no need for it. And it completely dilutes what has happened before. These guys need a little more imagination.

Reaction had been mixed, although more positive than I would have thought on those forums. Like I mentioned, I don't mind too much. I found Han shooting first much more egregious for some reason. I posted on TheForceCast forums that I didn't feel this cheapened what came before..

[spoiler]In TPM. Dead or left for dead is somewhat immaterial to the story and it establishes Obi-wan has a habit of leaving bad guys for dead only to have them come back and cause ail sort of trouble! :D[/spoiler]

We are likely not going to see anymore of this arc this season if I had to guess, so this will be brewing' for a while.

Great episode this week.. a nice way to end or begin this story. Really liked how much power (force) Savage Opress has, he was throwing people around like they were nothing.. I mean Dooku, Obiwan, Annikan and Ventress are not weak with the force and he over powered them all. Looking forward to seeing where his story go and I like Bryan is cool with the idea they revealed at the very end of the story.. it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I loved this latest episode....as for my opinion on the rights or wrongs of the ending. I think it was totally right.

Dave Filloni is a fan of the EU and as such, he tries to keep Clones Wars story lines away from contradicting the novels. It's only when Lucas insists that we find things like the Mandalorian books are no longer canon in the Star wars universe. This episode has managed to support a popular EU storyline and it has also

[spoiler]given us back Darth Maul. A character who most people say was amazing and despatched of too quickly in the movies[/spoiler]

I'm glad of the way it ended and can't wait to see how it all goes.

So...

[spoiler] Maul, who got cut in half lives, but Qui Gon, who got poked in the chest dies? Then for some reason, the Jedi don't recover the body for clues about who this new sith lord is or if they can get some info off him com unit? The inclusion of Maul seems like lazy story telling at best and fanboy wish fulfillment at worse. It honestly feels like some fan fic by someone that decided they wanted to use Maul. Savage kills his brother and then gets happy that he has another one? How about not killing the first one? He also says Ventress betrayed him, but all she did was insult him and he attacked her first? It was a very action packed story, but it works better when you don't look to far into it.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Ventress "betraying" him, don't they always say that? "Oh he/she betrayed me". That could really mean anything. What he could have meant is that Ventress failed to kill Dooku and left him battered and left to die for the Jedi who came in after Dooku left. From his perspective he may think she sent them to finish him off after being beaten pretty badly. So that wasn't really that far off.

Darth Maul...really, we don't know enough. It may just be his spirit. He may be kept alive only the waist up. Its hard to say at this point. I'm reserving judgment till we actually see him. This is the Star Wars universe after all.[/spoiler]

King, there was a toy at comicon that will show you what's going on.

Again, reserving judgment. [spoiler]And really, what is so bad with bringing Darth Maul back? Yes, it does cut down on the sacrifice of the first movie, but you dislike that movie anyway ;). Would it really be so wrong to have another go at it with Darth Maul? So what if the Jedi don't always win in the end, it makes the story better in my opinion but we still don't know enough. I doubt GL is bringing him back for no reason. He hasn't broken movie continuity so far. [/spoiler]
