Canon Killing episode, with some iffy moments but an otherwise solid effort.

7.0

By GeneralKoon, Aug 17, 2011

First off, if you care about the EU and cringe at retcons and rewriting of canon - don't watch this episode or pay full notice to the arc!

This has the biggest rewrite of the show so far.

Getting into the plot, the usual heroes plus Even Piell, Tarkin, and a few clones, must navigate the landscape of the barren world which houses the Citadel prison.

As expected, the least important characters perish - leaving just those who have their fates "set in stone" - or is it that simple? No. One character with a pretty solid biography dies - no prizes for who that was.

Other than that, the action is well done and there are glimpses of goodness - like Anakin and Tarkin forming a bond, plus Ahsoka going ruthless on the villain - leading to his demise. The clones get it pretty bad with the usual suspects being the only survivors. Another note is the appearance of Saesee Tiin (as a pilot) and Plo Koon (who solves the complication and becomes the resolution) which are welcomed additions.

Overall, if this episode didn't kill the canon,it would be high class. But as it stands, it scores a seven out of ten.moreless
