Clone Wars Chapter 21 Review Posted By Britany on March 15, 2005
Here's another very detailed review of 'Clone Wars: Season 3 - Episode 1' from Animation Insider:
The scene opens with a Republic army commander and his associates swiftly strapping on weaponry and armor, preparing for an imminent battle. He's giving orders to the pilot of a small transport carrier on how to properly maneuver past a circumference of druid defenses. For as we all know, without a cool head and the right plan, anything may turn this rescue mission into something more deadly than necessary, in a mere instant. The commander has only a dozen troops with him? and even though his orders smartly guide the hip over druid defenses, you can sense that the urgency and insistence in his voice knows something that we, the audience, do not.
Meanwhile, Jedi Ki-Adi Mundi is in a fight for his life. Weary of one-on-one saber combat for some unknowable amount of time, his clothes are torn to shreds, and any one with a keen eye can see that his strength is almost entirely gone. Ki-Adi Mundi is knocked down and loses his light-saber, and suddenly becomes not a respected and feared Jedi, but a powerless being about to be sliced to bits in the eyes of the cold, heartless, unrelenting villain that is General Grievous. It is here that we first meet one of the Jedi's most feared enemies.
