TCW - "Trespass"

This was a good episode of The Clone Wars. It certainly wasn't perfect, but the sheer novelty of it all was fun.

It almost seemed like an alternate-reality version of Hoth, with the Prequel-era characters appearing in ESB-esque outfits. The fact that the animators actually went out of their way to design completely new character models was impressive. I hope we get to see these new designs again in the series; it'd be a shame to have all that work go into only one episode.

The portrayal of the Talz was rather strange. While it was definitely cool to see an old Star Wars alien race given some development, the Talz' primitive nature seems to stand in contrast with their other appearances in Star Wars lore.
I felt as if--once again--the writers wanted to convey a much deeper moral message, but didn't do it quite right. This episode certainly did a better job than "Defenders of Peace," however.

I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that this episode was "heavier" than most, and that characters' lives were actually taken seriously. I hope that the series stays more this way, but, sadly, it likely won't.

"Trespass" is definitely one of the most memorable episodes of The Clone Wars thus far, even if it's not perfect.
