Back to the Clone Wars: The Hidden Enemy

[krpalmer]

For a change (perhaps even for a "wonder"), it hasn't been that long since I last rewatched an episode of Clone Wars to comment on it. I suppose I might have had a particular interest in getting back to "The Hidden Enemy" knowing what we know now, that Clone Wars has a penchant for throwing in episodes previous to what we've already seen and letting us sort that out on the way. The creators did touch on that in the little documentary, but started off addressing the idea of a "traitor clone," suggesting that George Lucas was involved in suggesting the story. That did get my attention; I suppose it's a little too easy to take note of the particular interests of specific people and fall into thinking "it's other people who really delve into things." As well, the references to the movies were to Attack of the Clones when suggesting that "rogue clones" are a little too much like Jango Fett and Revenge of the Sith in an allusion to how developing clone characters might have some bearing on "Order 66." That also got my attention, although I did still ponder how it could all turn out. If Rex and Ahsoka are touched on then, that could be very interesting for me, but if it's a matter of "every Jedi we don't actually see shot down on screen escapes," a perhaps completely unfair suspicion of my own about the novels and comics, that could be different. In any case, I was perhaps a bit happer than I need to be to think I've only got one DVD left of first season episodes.
