This week ’s episode of Star war : The Clone Wars bid frisson and spills , derring - do rescues and damsels in distress , and a breathy bad - guy ditch the flawed gargantuan evil death car and flying off into deep space at the last of the episode . It all seemed very familiar indeed , like this old movie about Darth something and a Death Star , who could ’ve venture ? But Star Wars was n’t the only George Lucas joint that this hebdomad ’s episode cribbed from … and we ’d like to see more , thanks . I ca n’t differentiate if Destroy Malevolence ’s “ Greatest Hits Of George Lucas ” – I ’m not the only one who thought that the train sequence was reminiscent of Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom , right ? – was what made it the most satisfying episode of the series so far , but I have to admit : there ’s just something perfectly Star Wars - ish about learn the wedge strain to rescue the abduct Princess – who fights back herself , of course – from the bad guy wire ’ new destructo space weapon . Bringing Padme into the show helped humanize the characters by generate them something other than How Terrible And Serious The War Is to talk about – and also bringing in a welcome , if still somewhat ill at ease , romanticism to the show . perchance I ’m boring – and anyone who ’s register me writing about Watchmen is nodding furiously at this item – but I did n’t clear until this calendar week how important romance in reality is to Star Wars feel like Star Wars to me ; it ’s the ( normally missing ) part of the holy trinity of the whole thing , next to humour and action mechanism … and , ideally , all of them being done in the slightly inept , uncomfortable agency that only Star Wars can pull off ( By which I signify : the sense of humour in SW has never really been actually funny , nor the action flawless ; it ’s always slightly … off , in its own way ) . More Padme would emphatically be a welcome affair , here . The animation also seemed better this week – Part of that is because it focused on the primed pieces and did n’t have to show characters “ playact ” as much , and so stress its strong points – and , give the comic sculptural relief being maintain to a minimum ( as was the attempts to make us care about the clon , interestingly enough ) and determinate triumph for the good Guy , this was well the practiced episode of the serial publication so far – and the one episode to date that make the show seem like a winner in total . Here ’s hop that next week wo n’t ruin it all with an all - Ahsoka half - 60 minutes .
