*****SPOILERS*****
Count Dooku senses a huge disturbance in the Force and blames Mother Talzin for creating it. He tells General Grievous that this must be dealt with.
Mother Talzin is located in the netherworld moving through her space and Asajj Ventress senses him, too. She tells her new crew that she senses a monster.
He is Savage Opress in search for his brother Darth Maul.
Sensing him was through a Talisman that Mother Talzin gave Savage Opress to use as a compass. He finds out on a planet that just offloaded junk from the garbage planet, Lotho Minor.
The first being Opress meets is a slimy talking snake and it is a travelling circus to find Maul. Fighting creatures that seem to look like "Jawas" and machine monsters named "Firebreathers" who eat the garbage.
Eventually the talking snake "betrays" Opress who falls down a distant "hole" only to find a robotic "Maul" shaped like a "tarantula". Maul has gone absolutely crazy, which appears to Savage depressing. Sort of watching "Horders" and how one allowed them to get so bad.
Talking to Maul, Savage wants to destroy whomever caused Maul to suffer. Maul blames Obi Wan Kenobi. Only Yoda is able to tell Obi Wan Kenobi that his life is in danger and to remain attuned to the Force.
What I found interesting in this episode was the Savage Opress did not care where he was when he was doing things. He was psychotic. He does not play well with others in the sandbox. For his "ex" Asajj Ventress to call him a Monster after creating him, is pretty messed up.
Another issue is Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were present and Anakin sensed the disturbance in the Force, too. Ahsoka did not. But what got me is they are going to what appears like a 1950's Burger Joint where one of the waitresses was physically choked by Opress earlier. The little Security Droids could tell that Anakin and Ahsoka were Jedi. How???
FROM A SEPARATIST POV:
Dooku should have known better to allow the creation of a monster after his nasty divorce from Mother Talzin in the previous episode: Massacre.
That there would be twists and turns indicate there are changes in the Force that only those attuned to it directly - such as the Dark Side would be able to control. Dooku is not that attuned as he thinks he is.
The Jedi as usual are clouded.
The power of the Seppies did not solely rest on the Force Users, it rested in the people. We miss that in this episode. Is Star Wars just about using the Force? And therein lies what is at stake in this episode. We know it is a prep episode and cannot be taking solely alone, but still.
Here is the trailer for Episode 4.22 - Revenge
