Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Driven to the edge by Asajj Ventress, Anakin almost gives in to the dark side in a final bid to defeat her.
Our Take
This is a dark, gripping hour that finally lets Anakin’s temper boil over, and the fight with Ventress is one of the better duels the show has delivered. What works is how uncomfortable his rage feels, with only a thin thread of restraint holding him back. It drags a little in the setup, but the payoff lands hard and it’s well worth your time.
