Star Wars: The Clone Wars Revisited – Part 20: Finally, some shades of grey

And the more I watch this series, the more I realise that the series’s original characters are far more compelling to me than the already established ones. Which kind of makes sense if you think about it, but hey, let’s actually get into the episodes before I really go off on one.
