Duel of the Droids

As a two-part arc, this had a much better finale than beginning. Even though this episode still did not seem to be able to manage an entire storyline, it did have a lot more good moments than the first, and also some great character moments. I liked that Grievous had a menacing presence in this episode, and that we got to see Ahsoka go head-to-head with him, even though it was a pretty one-sided fight. R2-D2 was better utilized in this episode, and the overall flow was better. I still think a lot of humor was more aimed at children, and that the stakes were pretty much non-existent, because we know that R2 will be fine at the end of the day. It was a fine episode with some good moments and good action, but I would like these episodes to have just a little more at stake.
