"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (television show)
season 1, episode 3 - Shadow of Malevolence
“Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by ego.”
Malevolence is the name of the Separatist battle ship. Ahh, ok, that’s what they’ve been referencing in the episode titles.
Shadow Squadron - Hmmm, I feel like I’ve heard of them from other things. Maybe books? They have yellow ships with dual pilots, almost like the speeders on Hoth, where the pilots are facing away from each other.
The Separatists have decided to go after a medical facility outpost near Naboo where injured clones are taken for treatment and recovery. They figure that means there are fewer clones to come back into battle, but you can always tell the super bad guys because they go after the wounded and injured, like The Capital did in “The Hunger Games”.
Anakin and Ahsoka and Plo Kloon are going to try to defend the outpost.
Plo Kloon’s ship is blue, and he has a hyperspace ring. *sigh* Everyone has a hyperspace ring but me.
Of course, the folks from Kamino are the ones running the medical facility.
As a sort of short cut, Shadow Squadron are going to go through a nebula to get to the facility to get there sooner while Obi-Wan takes the star destroyer. However, they discover that the nebula is a nesting ground for giant mantis, so they run into some trouble there.
Battle droid - “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” I was going to say I think this is the first time a non-humanoid says it, but then I think 3PO has said it too, though I don’t remember when.
They manage to overload the ion cannon, causing the Malevolence to erupt in flames.
And here comes Obi-Wan and three star destroyers. Yeah, still getting used to that.
At the end of this episode, I was thinking, wait, does Grievous escape with the ship? What happens?
