Star Wars: The Clone Wars S4

yah i know, but they never even mentioned trying to capture him.
why would the slavers try to capture Dooku? They're in league with one another. If you're talking Anakin and the good guys trying to get him, they weren't exactly in any position to try to capture the guy since they're on the enemies home turf.
 
I dig that black light sword thing! I'm still amazed at how matter-of-factly someone will meet their end on this series at the end of a blade.
 
This season is definitely getting better now. It started out OK, but the last few episodes have been really good.
 
I think Lux is done with the Seperatists.

I think that village is toast.

I think R2 used those poor droids for his own gain.

Ahsoka is quite a killing machine when she wants to be.

Nice single part episode...better than the whole of the underwater arc from the start of the season...or at least as much happened in 1/3rd the time.
 
I was kinda surprised when they actually showed Ahsoka decapitate all of those Mandolorians when she escaped. Have we seen severed limbs or decapitations on non droids before?
 
Ahsoka seemed happy to see Lux, and very sad to see him go.

The inclusion of the "Don't worry. We'll meet again, I promise," line does suggest that - well - they will meet again. And I'd say the door is open to she and Lux teaming up down the road, which is what they both want, and maybe even to Lux helping to save her from Special Order 66.

Um, no. R2 convinced the droids to help save Ahsoka and Lux.

Um, Lux pretty much is done with the Separatists seeing as he want Dooku dead.

Fair point, but that doesn't answer my question. What way do you envision for Ahsoka surviving?

I think CorporalCaptain covered it here basically.

^Yeah, that was what I took from the ending too.
 
Hopefully this is the end of Lux being an idiot. Next time I hope he's not so naive.

That was a pretty violent episode. It was fast moving unlike the last few episodes which seemed way too slow.

What was that black sword thing? It was awesome.
Another 4 parter starting next week?

Its an ancient lightsaber.

More of a darksaber, I'd say...

I didn't much care for the idea myself. The way it stretched out with "motion blur" was unconvincing. They do the same thing with lightsaber blades, but you can buy that as persistence of vision, and that's what the effect is intended to simulate: if a bright light is moved around in your field of vision, it appears to leave streaks behind it because of the way our eyes and brains process input. But if something black is swept in front of your field of vision, it doesn't stretch out opaquely the way the "darksaber" blade did; rather, you just see a faint overlay of black blur on top of the background. Moreover, since the black "blade" was outlined with light, then that light should've blurred and stretched, but it didn't; you just got a stretched-out field of pure black with the same narrow outline of light. It looked blatantly cartoony and 2-dimensional and clashed with the overall look of the animation around it. Something that simplified might've worked in a hyperstylized 2D cartoon like something from Genndy Tartakovsky, but here it just looked crude.
 
Interestingly enough from what the Death Watch leader guy said when it first showed up its from the KOTOR era which come to think about it would fir that era better than the more modern ones they were using.

He said "during the fall of the Old Republic". That doesn't quite nail it down to the KOTOR era, because it could have been later in the timeline. In light of the changes to EU continuity that TCW has already been responsible for, this could be intended as a previously unexplored era between the KOTOR timeframe and that of the films.
