TCW - "Ambush"


This episode was pretty good.
Not amazing, but still pretty good, with many great moments that outnumbered the glaringly bad ones.

The battle droids were never more annoying than they are here. The "everybody STOP" scene was cringe-inducing. However, the characterization of the clones is very, very cool. They seem to strike the perfect balance of being clones, yet still having some small sense of self.
Yoda's character was near-perfect. He acted like the Empire Strikes Back Yoda that we all love, rather than the rubber jumping frog from the prequels.

The action was slightly silly, but good for the most part.


Perhaps the best part, however, was the music. Yoda's Theme (arguably one of the best musical pieces in the entire saga) permeated the episode, as it should. It's ridiculous how the theme was almost never used in the prequel films, and the fact that it exists here is absolutely wonderful.

All-in-all, This episode wasn't amazing, but still fun and definitely worth watching.
