"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (television show) - season 1, episode 16 - The Hidden Enemy - July 2023 review

"Star Wars:  The Clone Wars" (television show)

season 1, episode 16 - The Hidden Enemy

"Truth enlightens the mind, but won't always bring happiness to your heart."

 

That's a long way of saying "The truth hurts."

Yet another planet under siege by the Separatists, and they ask the Republic / Jedi for help. Off go Obi-Wan and Anakin. What are all of the other Jedi doing?

They're ambushed by battle droids, who knew they were setting up for their attack plan. Someone's a spy and is giving intel to the Separatists. Obi-Wan and Anakin make their way to the Separatist headquarters on the planet - oh, hi, Ventress.

The traitor is not who we've been led to believe. Section head Slick says that none of his guys could possibly be the traitor. He's right, because *he* is the traitor. He wanted freedom and to no longer be a slave to the Republic. Hmm, the first rumblings of clone uprising. But why couldn't he just leave? There's nothing physically binding them there, right? Or was he trying to undermine the Republic overall?
