Love seing you moving forward in the Clone Wars! Some of those characters get more and more lovable as the show advance.

I honestly feel this episode of the Clone Wars does a better job of illustrating the evils of civilian casualties than the destruction of Alderaan in Episode IV. It's the same type of thing: the bad guys firing on a civilian target as a weapons test. But there is a difference between Leia telling Moff Tarkin her homeworld is peaceful and sitting down with the Lurmen for forty minutes and seeing how dedicated they are to peace, that they aren't fighting in the war and the Separatists are killing them just to show their weapon can do so. And if the Lurmen had died, their deaths would have hit a lot harder than the destruction of Alderaan. Leia's whole planet. An illustration of the writer's principle, "show don't tell." And yes, Clone Wars learned quickly that it wasn't just a kid's show. It explores very dark and serious themes very soon in its run. The long-form format also really enabled the show to get deep into character exploration of its main characters. I recently rewatched the prequel trilogy. It surprised me this time how well Hayden Christensen did at showing Anakin was actually a fairly hard nut for Palpatine to crack, with a LOT of good in him, especially in Episode III. It really did take years of grooming, the thorough corruption of the Jedi Order, the absence of Obi-Wan Kenobi at the moment of crisis, and a perceived threat to his last and closest relationship for Anakin to fall completely. But the prequel trilogy really doesn't have the time to develop Anakin's heroism in full. It has to spend its time showing the roots of his fall. In the Clone Wars, we get to really sit with Anakin the Hero. The cunning warrior and brilliant pilot Obi-Wan recounts to Luke in Episode IV, a decorated officer who saved worlds on worlds, who had the respect and love of his soldiers and took such good care of his own apprentice. The Jedi Knight who was Obi-Wan's best friend even after he had ceased being his apprentice. And yes, plenty of Ahsoka and the occasional Aayla Secura, as well as other awesome Jedi and clones.

Saved him, only for him to shot her in the back later
