Up until now, I never really thought of him as much of anything beyond a strange background character. However, by only his first appearance in The Clone Wars, he's already one of my favorite Jedi. One interesting thing to note is his voice. He speaks through a breathing mask, which logically means that he should have either a static-laden voice or a muffled one. Surprisingly, he has neither. His voice is grand, drama-laden, and surprisingly clear. It sounded odd at first, but now I'm quite satisfied with his voice, and wouldn't have it any other way (well, maybe a little more electronic crackle).
The plot itself was rather interesting. The idea of a secret weapon was a rather interesting idea, especially considering that it was an ion cannon. Of course, technically it's more of an ion web, shot through a death star power core. It doesn't seem entirely true to Star Wars tech continuity, but it's a great plotline.
I love the way that the story is stretched over an arc. It only makes sense that such a big plot wouldn't simply be over in a single episode. Unfortunately, this makes the ending of this episode rather abrupt with no strong resolution. Still, though, it's an entertaining episode, and better than the last one.
