The Ahsoka trial arc is in here as the Rogue Jedi arc. That is indeed a great one. Will absolutely watch Tales of the Jedi next especially as I hear its only an hour.



Season 3 - Finally the show everybody was talking about makes its entrance. From the second half of this season onwards it is effectively a whole new show with longrunning storylines and longer, more complex arcs. It also starts to look good. The first half of this season is basically on a level with 2 but the second half really shines.

The Kamino Arc

An interesting duo of episodes that bookend Rookies. Its a fun look into clone murder school and the action in the second part is terrific. It also introduces the clone 99 and I was not preferred for them to kill such a sympathetic character like that, so brutally and without much of a noble sacrifice. That was a sign even better than stuff like the Ryloth arc that this was not just a regular sci-fi action show or even just Star Wars.

Supply Lines

The best thing about this arc is that it spells out the difference between the Trade Federation et al. and the Separatists. The second best thing is Jar Jars performance art. Its fine and probably the best Jar Jar episode.

Sphere of Influence

This is an episode about which I remember little. I still like Chuchi and George Lucass self-insert is here.

The Corruption Arc

The plot of this arc sounds great, a look into political corruption on Mandalore resulting in the overthrow of the Prime Minister. Unfortunately the execution is anything but, and the word corruption is repeated about a million times. At least it gets paid off later, otherwise this was a big disappointment. I appreciate trying to teach kids about governmental corruption but this sadly doesnt do a great job of it.

The Ziro Arc

This arc is mental in both structure and plot. First you have Assassin which seems like a normal standalone thriller then suddenly jerks into this larger Hutt plot. Then there is Evil Plans which may be the worst episode of the series - we see R2-D2 and C-3PO buy fruit then get tortured to reveal information we already knew. Then (chronologically) the last episode of the first season happens. Then we get Hunt for Ziro which features Sy Snoodles as a femme fatale in a relationship with a really annoying Hutt, Quinlan Vos for some reason and another recurring character death. A bizarre arc, yet other than Evil Plans I kinda liked it?

The Heroes on Both Sides Arc

My favourite type of Star Wars story is the one designed to answer a random detail about one of the films. In seriousness this is a pretty good political story showing how the Separatists are run and the people working to end the war on both sides. It also features a very obvious 9/11 parallel. This is mostly really good but man the Muun designs for the Banking Clan in the first episode are SO antisemitic. Its not Harry Potter goblin bad but it does make me wonder how it got past anybody. Especially when they only look like that here.

The Nightsisters Arc

Finally the show actually starts. Totally blows away everything else to this point. Asajjs arc is great and Savage is a terrific character. The shift to an entirely different style if storytelling is immediately obvious. Also an example of fansevice I liked with Asajjs ship from the 2003 series.

The Mortis Arc

The arc that changes everything you know about the force or does it? There are a lot of cool scenes and the character development for Anakin and Ahsoka is great but I really think I need to watch this again to see what I really think of it.

The Citadel Arc

Solid blockbuster action arc with a good villain, more great Ahsoka development, young Tarkin and lots more. Just a proper Star Wars good time, although killing off a Jedi council member and fake-killing off a high profile clone in the same arc was intense.

The Padawan Lost Arc

Another really good for Ahsokas character development. Laying all of these out makes me realise how good this season was at pacing out her character arc. A good version of The Most Dangerous Game in space. The one real issue with it is the character who appears in the second episode being the most pointless fanservice in the entire show.
