krpalmer | Back to the Clone Wars: Rookies (Reply)

Although it's been a while since the last time I managed it, I did get around to rewatching another episode from the first season Clone Wars DVD set. I do have to admit that by this point, I perhaps wasn't thinking so much about the episode "Rookies" as contemplating just how the little documentary attached to it would have the show's creators trying to claim links to the old movies for it (perhaps I was imagining them saying something about the design of the base)... but there was a surprise for me this time around when there was just a little mention that they might be repurposing props, particularly this early on in the series, but "the old movies" did that too. (I use that term too out of the thought that it's a little unexpected, so perhaps that helped it get my attention.)

Of course, perhaps the surprise left me wondering just how to build a little statement on what I'd seen. However, I think I can say that I remembered only while watching this episode that the characters weren't just fighting for their own lives, but trying to get a warning out to protect where they came from. Whether this means that the larger plot of the episode was something of "the MacGuffin" might be the next question.
