Darth Sidious has a new dark assignment: kidnap Force-sensitive children from across the galaxy and bring them to Mustafar.
Okay, this is pretty much what I’ve been waiting for on this show: the Jedi being Jedi! Holy crap! Need to get information? Use the Force! Need to crack the mind of a strong-willed bounty hunter? Use the Force! Really, this use of the Jedi doing Jedi-things only serves to make early instances of the Jedi not using the Force more annoying to me. Like I keep saying: the Jedi are only as strong as the writers want them to be and it’s been wildly inconsistent. At least here I can’t complain about their use of powers.
In fact, there’s not much I can complain about. It was a pretty good story giving more depth into both the Jedi and Darth Sidious. There are a ton of locations in this one, making it feel much more epic than in some episodes. And of course, Cad Bane is becoming an interesting character in his own right.
The only downside is that the action sequences - something this series has been solid in - feel a bit rushed. The episode could have stood to have been ten minutes longer, just to flesh out the fighting scenes. But otherwise, so far, this is the best episode of Season Two in my book and one of my top three favorite episodes so far.
