In the latest chapter of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Anakin and Obi-Wan pursue Count Dooku to a remote planet, where Dooku gets captured by a gang of pirates and is held for ransom. Anakin and Obi-Wan are sent by the Republic to confirm the pirates' claim, but are they also walking into a trap?
The episode stars two key figures, who have remained in the background for most of the series so far: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku. The episode in general is fairly average, pretty much what I thought the whole series was going to be like, but there are a number of things that should be commended.
First of all, Skywalker and Kenobi. Not even in the animated movie have the two spent much screen time together, and here we get to see the two of them in action, Anakin's recklessness and Obi-Wan's experience playing off each other. There are a number of playful quips as they banter back and forward. It's nice to see a more cavalier Skywalker than the brooding, angsty one in the movies.
Second, all three Jedi are deprived of their lightsabers fairly early on, making them rely on themselves and the Force. It's always fun to see how a Jedi will get out of a jam without their most reliable tool at their disposal.
Third, this episode features Jim Cummings as the voice of the pirate leader. Cummings is probably most known for his variety of work for Disney over the years, and it's great to hear him in Star Wars. Luckily he will be in next week's episode where the pirates seemingly capture out heroes and put them alongside Dooku. B-
