In this latest episode, Anikan, Obi-Won, Rex and Ahsoka are called to the planet Onderon to aid the new founded rebels to hone their skills in combat. We meet the new rebels on the planet along with an old aquantince, Lux. They explain to them that the Capital of Iziz is being ruled by a false king and they must reclaim their city back. We can see right away that there is a possible love triangle between the new female character Steela, Lux, and Ahsoka-causing Anikan to question his padawan if she is losing her focus (whether or not he knows about the connection between the two is yet to be seen). A probe droid is sent out to investigate the situation when the battle droids discover that their latest group has yet to arrive to the city. The droid discovers the Rebel's location and relays the information to the droids. During practice, the droids invade their base of camp, but they are defeated by the group along with aid of the Jedi. Soon they make a plan to take back the city from within and defeat the flase king.
After watching the episode and reading other reviews, it does have some similarites to an episode from Season 2 involving the Bounty Hunters and the Jedi training villagers to defend their crops from Hondo and his pirates. The difference between that episode and the current episode is that the Rebels are already trained in the art of combat, while the villiagers were never fought an enemy before. It's also noticable that a love triangle is forming between Ahsoka, Lux and Steela-it's possible it will bloom into a romantic relationship for the young padawan, but we'll have to wait and see if that is Filoni's plan. I did notice a slight flaw in the episode though-Adi Gallia was ALIVE in the scene with the Jedi Council; she was killed in the first episode of the season so it was surprising that she was sitting with the council in the beginning of the show-not sure if that was intetnional or not. Finally, I was quite impressed that they brought back the original probe droids for this episode; bringing these classic droids from one of the original Star Wars films ties it nicely to the Clone Wars series. I can't wait to see what the next episode will bring ;)
