Loved the premiere, didn't even realize the first episode was a prequel to Rookies! I really seem to like the episodes where none of the main characters have much to do with it. While Anakin was in the second episode, he didn't do much, but I was surprised in what he did do. Instead of trying to arrest Ventriss, he was going to have the clones execute her. Finally, a hint of dark side!

Last week's episode wasn't terrible. Sure, it was Jar Jar, but he did what he does best, and they freaking went to Toydaria! I love Toydarians! The Jedi responsible for the Twi'leks was also great, brought a tear to my eye by the end.

That's what Clone Wars is able to do: make me emotional for characters. Even identical characters, or characters that are only around for that one episode.

On a side note, I like that all of the ship commanders look like they're the guys from Tarkin's Conference Room. A lovely tie in. Which reminds me, that's who this series needs: Tarkin. Not Greedo.

IIRC, Anakin Force-choked someone for information last season. Not what a Jedi is supposed to do.

One of the ship commanders is one of the guys in the conference room!

I think we might see Tarkin eventually, as we're getting closer to the events of Episode III. Hopefully they could get someone that sounds like a younger Peter Cushing.
