At the Jedi Council’s request - Padmé investigates a Separatist conspiracy in the Senate.
I don’t know what it was about this episode, but it really failed to connect with me on a storytelling level. The set up was believable enough, but about mid-way through, all the tension that the CW crew seemed to be building to just dropped out and I just didn’t care about the plot anymore.
That’s not to say that the episode is bad; it just seemed like the second half of it needed to be fleshed out - as if they had a rough draft, animated it and just let it go.
There’s a lot of good though too. Banking Clan member Rush Clovis has an interesting design and seems like a character that could create an interesting antagonist, provided they decide to bring him back.
There’s actually a lot of pretty design work at display here, and the episode seems to be a showcase for locations.
But overall, it just didn’t do anything for me and seemed to be the first episode in awhile that was truly forgettable.
