Star Wars: The Clone Wars Revisited – Part 5: A lot of trouble over one little grub

One of greatly utilised aspects of this being an anthology series is that it can string a series of seemingly different stories together, that are all tied together by a single narrative thread. Something done to great effect here in three episodes that don’t really have anything to do with one another, except for the stories revolving around one troublesome Nemoidian.

But here we at the beginning of a decent run of episodes from the first season, this time episodes 5 to 7. But if you’d like to read the other parts in this series, then just give this link a click and you can see the entire franchise page so far.
