Clone Wars: Season 4


It's season 4 of the Clone Wars animated series, and it's more of the same.  More large-scale battles between clones and droids (even a cool underwater battle this time), more Jedi action, and more adventure. It's a bit darker this time around, as some episodes feature slavery, extremist groups, and bounty hunters (Obi-Wan goes undercover as one for a few episodes- among my favorites to date).  The end of the season sees (SPOILER ALERT) the return of Darth Maul.  Yes, that Darth Maul- the dude that got chopped in half at the end of Episode I.  Apparently, he's been hiding out, insane, and half mechanical spider . . . and he's bent on revenge.

Like season 3, this season had ups and downs.  Some episodes were outstanding- among the best of the series so far.  Some were flat-out duds, or super-strange.  Overall, though, I think it was the best season so far.

Rating: B+
