Star Wars: The Clone Wars (TV Series) The Academy (2010) User Reviews

Purely Academic

[A_Kind_Of_CineMagic · 7/10 · 7 August 2020]

This is an unexceptional but inoffensive filler with a few nice moments. It is nothing special at all in terms of impact but is solid in terms of quality and furthering the story of Mandalore.

This is more interesting and eventful than the previous episode and though it is still not quite the usual highly entertaining Clone Wars standard it is setting up the next stage of Satine and Mandalore's story.

Ahsoka tries to sort out corruption on Mandalore and works with some angsty teenagers. It is a story building episode of decent standard.

My rating: 7/10.

At this point, Satine would do herself a favor if she just disbanded her entire government, because none of these people has one ounce of loyalty to her. This is a premise that has really been worn thin at this point, and I think the episode does itself a disservice to simply go back to what it knows to make Mandalore come across as a corrupt place. We know it is at this point. There is no reason to constantly remind us. Besides that, I thought the episode was quite good. I liked the main characters, and I thought the ending was very strong. But seriously, Satine should clean up or get replaced, as she obviously did not do the proper vetting when finding the people to serve in her government. This is on you, girl!
