The new "Star Wars: Clone Wars" episode entitled, "Escape from Kadavo" premiered today.
Here is the show on Master Toons:
The overall episode was really good in terms of entertainment value. Throughout this arc, it shows the boyish playfulness of being a Skywalker. The sleight of hand and going by the see of one's pants. There was a lot of that done by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker.
There was a showing of the horrors of enslavement from the perspective of Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi. It is when he realizes his actions were meant to defeat his soul. But what is bad about doing that to Force Users are when they are adults, they can use powers in the Force that are utterly destructive.
Which actually came as a shock to the Zygerrian Queen, Miraj Scintel, that ultimately the people that kept her in power, not the Confederacy of Independent Systems--but actually the Sith--who only desired annihilation of the Jedi. It is that "sleight of hand" tricks that Queen Miraj Scintel failed to see and her arrogance until her very last breath which was reminiscent of "Return of the Jedi" movie.
At any rate what is the Confederacy of Independent Systems point of view:
Why use sentient being slaves when there are droids? They can easily be manipulated and do things without questions.
Aside from all the CIS characters who are always cast as villains seem to die at someone's hands that is either Jedi or Sith, the fact remains their permanence reigns in what is really going on--The Sith want power and they are using both the Republic and the CIS to add a false war. How many CIS leaders had an inkling of that occurring?
The Jedi has their suspicions. But did any non Force User have suspicions? Someone in the CIS HAD to know besides, our top characters that get dealt with in Revenge of the Sith.
Again, the CIS gets blamed for actions really taken over by a wayward Sith led Republic. What is surprising is no one thought none the different. I would expect that from the Jedi, but now the CIS, too? GEEZ!
As an aside: I would like to thank Lucasfilm and the Clone Wars showing this episode of how humiliating slavery is. And the "good" that the Jedi are supposed to do. As a roleplayer who was bullied in protesting any "slave girls" or "slave trade" specific sites for sexual RP, I think Lucasfilm added what the horrors really are when one is enslaved. Thank you for adding to the canon.
