Season One - Episode Four - Destroy Malevolence
A PLAN IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THOSE WHO SEE IT THROUGH.
The Heroes of The Clone Wars
Padme and C-3PO get trapped on the Malevolence and Obi-Wan and Anakin lead a rescue mission to free them from General Grievous. After being captured while on a mission to negotiate with the some of the Separatist leaders, Padme and C-3PO are able to escape and meet up with Obi-Wan and Anakin for the rescue. Before they escape, Anakin and Padme set up the navicomputer on the Malevolence to crash into a planet. General Grievous is able to escape and fly off in his fighter.
While the introduction of Padme into the story seems contrived and a little too obvious, it is good to see Anakin and Padme on an adventure together and working together to defeat the enemy. There is a fun sequence with on some interior trains that deliver supplies throughout the ship that is a good addition to the story. Obi-Wan and Grievous square off in a cool lightsaber duel before Grievous runs off like the coward he is.
The ending shot of the Malevolence trilogy is the one featured in this post, and I love it as it’s the main characters of the Prequel era and the Clone Wars. The more we see these 5 characters together, the better the story is in my opinion.
