Note: Full spoilers for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars season premiere follow.
The Clone Wars began in a different manner than ever before this year, with the Season 5 premiere actually picking up the same storyline (with most of the same characters) as the season finale that proceeded it. Considering how big a deal Darth Maul’s return was, that felt quite appropriate. Just having the opening narration inform us that Maul and Savage Opress were committing “murder and pillage at every turn” was a reminder that this show can be pretty dang brutal - especially where these two are concerned.
City Hunter Review: The manga adaptation unravels the tragic beginning of Ryo Saeba and Kaori Makimura's partnership.
Deliver Me Review: The Swedish series follows two troubled teen and their troublesome lives when one of them is shot dead.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
I was pretty impressed with this opener. The Clone Wars has come a long way and to be honest, nothing about it feels like a kids show anymore. It's got some deep stories and interesting characters.
Plus Kenobi fighting Maul and Opress with two lightsabers was just bad ass to see. Well choreographed.
Enjoyed this opener, and it was nice to see Hando back.
