War on Two Fronts ~ From A Seppie POV

"A War on Two Fronts" episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars started out with this fortune cookie:

It started with the usual characters

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex

Captain Rex had a new uniform. Somewhat a precursor to the Imperial Uniform. But more rogue-rebel like.

***SPOILERS***

The quartet had gone to Onderon to assist the rebels fighting the Separatist Droid Army.

We are introduced to two new characters who are brother and sister - Saw Gerrera and Steela Gerrera:

Saw Gerrera

Steela Gerrera

And another character - Lux Bonteri from "A Friend In Need" in Season 4

Lux Bonteri

Together, these three formed the leadership of the rebels on Onderon. Some seems rather inept by the Jedi and Captain Rex. But for the rebels, they behaved like they did not really want assistance.

From A Separatist POV

In the very beginning, the Jedi Council disputed if they should train an insurgency to take over a legitimately established government. Obi-Wan Kenobi said that if the Jedi train them, they would be training terrorists. Anakin Skywalker disagreed. He thought their resources were so stretched out that having the Jedi fight for them would only make it harder for the other planets. Yoda agreed with Anakin. So off to Onderon they go.

The Separatists offer many valuable assets to governments that join them: Protection, Sovereignty and Freedom from the Core Planets.

Having being-to-being combat is taxing which the Republic has chosen to do. Droids are viable option for beings that are unable or unwilling to fight. Being as the creators of droids should not have to sully themselves in slogging fighting. What the Jedi did was promote terrorism toward an established government and risking the lives of the Onderonians.

From a Separatist Point of View - The Jedi put the lives of the Onderonian Rebels at risk in fighting Droid Technology. 

Star Wars TCW Episode 4.15 "Deception"

The new Star Wars: Clone Wars is entitled Deception

Here is the MasterToons

The morale of the story is:

All warfare is based on deception

***SPOILERS***

It stars Raiko Hardeene - a human sniper for hire -- which Obi Wan Kenobi takes on the persona to sneak into prison, Moralo Eval - a Phindian Separatist crime lord and the Cad Bane - a Duros bounty hunter. The setting starts on Coruscant, particularly a prison on Coruscant.

When the Jedi learn of a Separatist plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine, one of them must go deep undercover as a hardened criminal to extract information from the conspirators.

Overall, this episode has raised various questions since the preview was released.

It was a more enthralling episode versus say... Mercy Mission. Is it better than the Umbara arc? Not so sure.

From a Separatist POV:

First for the Jedi to break into prison on Coruscant is beneath them. Why would they take on the harden criminals of the Coruscant Underworld in a prison setting? Nonetheless this is what Obi Wan in his Raiko look-alike contest did. When he got in there, he tried to "hang out" and be cool with those whose lives have been seen living crime. And he could not hang...

What was funny was NO ONE picked up that the Obi Wan-Raiko look-alike was "odd". Bossk the Transdoshan did find the oddness about "Raiko". Boba Fett as a young teenager did not think there was oddness. Not even the clones find "oddness".

What was odd about him was he did not speak, ignorantly and arrogantly. Most cocky assassins who brag, especially ones who assassinate Jedi without longevity are flagrant in their accomplishments. Or at least this is how this series was filmed.

Obi Wan may have looked like Raiko, but his behavior and mannerisms were not that way at all.

Obi Wan has no humility. All he knows is "temple life" -- a cloistered view of the Galaxy. Grit, though he has seen it, negotiated it and processed through it, still has not given him humility.

And from a Separatist POV, this contentious behavior is what breeds the anger to seek justice for liberty from The Old Galactic Republic and the Jedi.

The Separatists deserve FREEDOM, LIBERTY and RIGHTS to pursue happiness!
