Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Ventress leads Anakin through the jungles of Yavin 4 towards the ancient Massassi Temples once inhabited by Sith Lord Exar Kun.
Our Take
This is basically one long duel stretched across the runtime, and it works because Tartakovsky knows how to make silence and movement carry more weight than dialogue. Anakin slipping toward anger under Ventress’s taunting lands harder than any lightsaber clash, though the jungle trek itself runs a little thin. A short, stylish hour that rewards the patience of the previous chapters.
