This is exactly what Clone Wars at its best should be. Powerfully adding to the overall storyline and mythology, linking prequels together with stronger, deeper exploration of the characters and all done with top standard animation, great action and meaningful, well delivered dialogue.

The return of a full powered Darth Maul is magical and the voice performance of Sam Witwer is tremendous. The character is so cool but had very little depth from The Phantom Menace. He barely spoke and had no background or setup. His duel with the Jedi was awesome and his look, power and style were awesome. This return now allows the character to be used further, adding more meat, more detail, more motivation and adding to the overall story wonderfully. Clancy Brown is perfect as Savage Oppress. A different dynamic from Ventress or Maul. Witwer delivers nuance and class but Brown makes Oppress a raw and brutal force with convincing power.

All the lightsaber action is spot on and the dark underlying themes are impactful. There is also some nice moments of humour and really nicely thought through dialogue that adds sheen.

Ventress and Obi Wan continue to be marvelously performed powerful characters with depth, sparkle and screen presence.

This is magnificent.

My rating: 10/10.

Yeah i dont need to say more than that! Maul waa amazing in this episode! Acts like we want him to! Great animation doing his transformation and that lightsaber duel was pretty good! My favorite part is how Obi Wan actually struggles with the dark side! You can see his internal conflict! Great way to wrap up the season!
