Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Captain Fordo and his ARC troopers rescue Ki-Adi-Mundi, Aayla Secura and Shaak Ti from Grievous but leave K’Kruhk for dead. The Jedi council grants Anakin Skywalker the title of Jedi Knight, after which Senator Amidala allows him the use of R2-D2 as copilot for his Jedi Interceptor.
Our Take
A packed half hour that moves fast: Grievous finally gets his menace back, the ARC troopers look great in action, and Anakin’s knighthood lands with real weight after everything he’s been through. The pacing is breakneck, almost too much so, but the animation carries it. Worth your time even if you only know the later series.
