Shadow of Malevolence – Clone Wars episode 1.03

Blue fortune cookie. “Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by ego.” Suck it, Michael Jordan. Anakin has a plan to take out Grievous and his ship, the Malevolence. I hope, hope, hope it’s a suicide mission. Cut to the Malevolence destroying more Republic Star Destroyers. Is this Anakin’s plan failing? Is it [...]

Sober House 2 season premiere

Will a doctor’s dismissal of rules and consequences in Celebrity Rehab mean a smooth transition to sober living? Of course not. That’s why it’s on TV. The first season of Sober House was all about manipulating previews. They over-promised and under-delivered. I’m expecting more of the same this season. Speaking of previews, we’re six minutes [...]

Rising Malevolence – Clone Wars episode 1.02

Blue nugget. “Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.” George Lucas likes the blind ultra-radical belief? Okay, that’s a rog. Several Republic warships have been lost, intones the Narrator (who really needs to be replaced by someone less annoying). Plo Koon has to stop the new Separatist menace: The Malevolence. Ooh, [...]

Clone Wars Season 1 Episode Guide

I’d originally intended to watch Clone Wars from the beginning, but the trailers to the movie (of what were to be an arc in season 1) were so bad that I held off. I caught an episode or two here and there, but was not impressed. Since Empire and Raiders, Lucas [...]

Ambush – Clone Wars episode 1.01

Blue wisdom. “Great leaders inspire greatness in others.” On that note, we now have a measure of George Lucas’ greatness or lack thereof. Narrator. A galaxy divided by war. The Republic and Separatists are vying for allegiance from neutral planets. I’ll be your best friend. Oh yeah? I’ll be your best friend and I’ll give you [...]

Celebrity Fit Club 7, ep. 5: The Art of War

Enthusiasm slipping…please send cookies… Bus. Ahahaha. They don’t even show a bus segment. Good for them. Role call. They line up and Harvey tells them they are at the half-way mark. This episode is about Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. I’m sure you know about this book. It’s rarely ever read. Mostly, it’s flipped through by two [...]

Voyage of Temptation – Clone Wars season 2.13

Bluish morality. “Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.” I miss Star Wars when it wasn’t so full of itself. Voyage of Temptation. Duchess Satine of Mandalore (Switzerland) is travelling to the Senate, and Kenobi, Anakin and their clone troopers have to protect her enroute. Anakin senses anxiety in Kenobi, who admits he “knew” [...]

The Mandalore Plot – Clone Wars season 2.12

Morality in blue. “If you ignore the past, you jeopardize the future.” But if you use a Delorean to change the past, everything’s aces. Narrator. The Council of Neutral Systems (aka CNS, aka Switzerland) wants to stay out of the war. The war doesn’t make sense, it’s horribly plotted and boring Senate meetings are wasting time [...]

Clone Wars Season 2 Episode Guide

The season that finally, once and for all, ruins the remaining coolness of the Mandalorian Supercommandos. Season 2 The Mandalore Plot – 2.12 Voyage of Temptation – 2.13 Back to the Star Wars: Clone Wars episode guide.

Star Wars: Clone Wars Episode Guides

I’ll be perfectly honest. I think the three prequel movies were garbage. I also don’t think much of the ‘expanded universe.’ You like it? Good for you. Just two things: don’t tell me I’m obligated to like it, don’t use the word ‘hater,’ don’t tell me the books are ‘good literature,’ and [...]
