The Clone Wars Voyage of Temptation
(Season 2 Episode 13)
......
^^
Any
way...
Episode
Opens
Up
With
.
Guard
Ah
yes
“ Obi-Wan apparently fucks things up,”
[Why the focus on the
guard’s blue eyes?]
The
Sequel;
Old
Friend
[With no
familiarity-
This
is really focusing on all the wrong scenes
. ....
Whelp
*Gets
glass*
‘pparently
I’m
ready
for
some
nonsense
. .
How
deep
does
this
go?
(Almost
all the
bad scenes]
Even the narrator-
Seems
To
Struggle
-
Making
Sense-
‘Satine claimed neutrality
Then there was an attack by
-Deathwatch
So Satine
Had to go pled her innocence
To the Senate?
-See how that
doesn’t make any sense
Involvement
in
the war
She-
-
She
didn’t
do
anything
-
You just said it was a
terrorist organization.
Anyone who didn’t watch the last episode-
Is going to be so lost
(Even those
that did..)
[We’re not even
passed that recap]
Fun
Er-
?
Why?
what?
Why stick
bug?
(Skeleton
thing)
As-sassinate her
Since
when?
I
mean
Okay...
(For those of you that don’t know
the deathwatch,
Totally bitched
out,
When it had a
chance to kill her)
After their
plan had been
revealed,
Legit
“let her go”,
Ominous
empty
Hook.
Now
apparently giving
chase
. . .
With more
bodyguards
and protection
. . .
Sharp
One unaccompanied
ship..
yeah they’re screwed
[at least there’s no Ahsoka-]
Presence
“Retnu”
?
What
[Retinue; a group of advisers, assistants, or others accompanying an important person]
Oh
How to take the
clones
Show
offs
“Anxiety,”
Sense?
[can someone just say ‘feel’.
once?
Not everything has to be
“sensed”
Stupid Jedi
mind reading
bullshit
Safer
Hand
The idiot
that got knocked out
by one of them
And
Anakin.
[also is there like a Padawan
babysitter?
Question
Don’t want to see them
Just
Cur.]
Any way
Why?
He doesn’t seem
too anxious
Oh observant one-
[I know somethings can only be
feel- But seriously,
ed
You’d think
it’d show up in his body language
No dreamy look.
...
No wrist
ful
ness
Just
rubbing
his
beard
You
need
to do
better than that
[Because
at this rate I’m starting to believe
they were just friends
Which I don’t think the writers
were going for]
Also, geez, was that sharp
And with no defensiveness
Just anger
Let’s try it
again, with a little
more- sadness
Emotion-
“Ah! No, it’s
It’s all the past,”
[Sadness]
More intensity on the
hair grab
Narrowed
Eyes
(Eyes
Only,
Eye
Brows
Taut)
[Look
Ing
at
Ground]
Possibly
Shift-
Ing
-
Hands
-
Into
Pockets
—-
Head
tilted
upwards
——
For
absolute
dejection
- - -
And
Des
-peration
- - -
Neat
‘Aight,’
‘How
Do
I-’
[Like,
that’s not a typical reaction,
Shout
Ing-
No emotion-
I have just decided to
-shout,’
‘Okay,’
Anakin
Whelp
Why is everything
dark?
This is a very important Person,
yes?
Why are there crates?
Are you storing
Salt
Ine
with
the
luggage?
(The Se-
nate’s gonna
kill-
[Wait, was there a
perspective change?]
Are-
Are we dealing with the other
clone troopers?
That- was
very
badly
done-
You went from one area
with people in an enclosed space
To people
who look exactly the same
Coming out-
[You-
You needed more
distinction
.there.]
Any.way
Investigating crates
In the dark
On a ship
Supposedly
escorting
a very important person
[you’re telling me the
Senate couldn’t
splurge,
On the
lights,
For their very important person
escorting
plane?
What happens if she wanted to get
something for herself?
She has to walk through the dark?
Probably trip
on a lot of
things,
And
possibly-
This
set
wasn’t thought out well,
Gotta
Say,
Whelp
Okay
[Ah, the music is a little
blaring]
It’s-
been going on for several
minutes-
[nothing against
music
[or sound
effects]
Just...
This
one
doesn’t
really
match
the
tone
(Being
pretty
loud
bumbling
and
curious)
(Needing
less
Brass,
Or
to
be
played
at
a
lower
frequency)
For
Shorter
Periods
Of
Time)
As It’s
really fighting
with the other
effects,
....
Worst transport vehicle
ever,]
War is intolerable
Uh, did I walk into a
philosophy
seminar?
What
Also;
SUBTLE!
And
sorry to be a
complainer;
The colors
clash-
Horribly
(Which could be the point,
the red of blood
against
her blue
Red
Oni-
But
it’s not-
The red in this scene
is clearly
Displayed
as nobility
(But
that’s
gold.)
And this scene
- it clashes
(Sorry to
critique.)
Horr-ibly
The nobility music is
drowning out her words
Which are not ones;
you would speak with acquaintances or
court;
Far too uptight
And...
It just doesn’t work
- Gives me a
-headache-
(Not good)
What is
dude doing here?
What?
Why?
Er,
Not
As
Bad
As
The
.
Abo
mina
tions.
Life
What
[Okay
She’s
got
a
point
...
Admittedly.
It
Is
Framing-
Her
As
Claiming
. . .
God?
. . .
Gathering
thoughts
...
My
issue
with
the
scene-
(Besides-
the music)
is how it presents Dutchess
Here she’s calling
about the power of life
And this
could work;
There’s nothing wrong
with poking fun at
authority
assumers-
The excessive
involved
-
The
words
with
no
meaning
-
Extrava
gance-
But it isn’t doing
that
It’s presenting hi-
larious antics straight
(Like this is normal
behavior
Or
Just
Urgh-
Every-thing’s
off
And
everything’s
so
overwhelming
that I can’t pinpoint the
exact problems..
...
It’s not
Played
Up
...
For
Humor
*Some
Of
It,
But
Could
Be
More
That’s
The
Ish
Small
fix;
Gold,
Extrav
agant
Music,
Lower
Tempo
(Volume)
Calling
Up
Obi-
Won
To
Chat,
“The
Jedi”.
Jedis?
There’s
Your
Scene
. . .
Neutral
. . . .
Aight
Doing
The
Ey-
Inter-
She invited
Yeah you
should’ve
knocked-
And not come out swinging
But-
No-
Senator
??
Confusing this is
?
Serious
Also a lot
more people..
?
Seriously
emotions
.
?
Yeah I don’t know what
kind of emotions are going on here either buddy
Just
that
the
writers
are
playing
defense
for
Obi-Wan
again
-Seriously
2
In
A
Row
All
For
Obi-won
The only
emotion
and responsibility being
when Duchess is talking
Author favoritism
isn’t cute
Let
them
argue
like
adults
Not
lowering
the
standard
-
?
Peace keepers
There’s
a
difference
They’re
both
authority
assumers.
Peace
So is
enabling
for peace
.
Okay, seriously
Look
effects
can
be
used
To
Accentuate
What’s
already
there,
Not
replace
Your
audience
will
know
who’s
right and wrong
Regardless of how many cheap tricks
You use
All
it
does
is
make
you
look
bad
Have
faith
your
audience
can
tell
right
from
wrong
And
don’t use cheap tricks
to try
and avoid
accountability
(Equal
Accoun
tability
In
The
Narra.
Tive)
Any Way
-
No
such
thing
Yeah, why are these fuckers
here?
Last we saw they were getting on
Anakin’s ship and leaving
Now this
It feels
a little
Ret-con
-y
And
the
story
isn’t
much
better
to
justify
it
Also did you just call them up here so you could
lambaste
him
in
front
of
your friends?
Don’t
get
me
wrong
she’s
being
damn
tox
But
Obi-Wan
is
an
adult
and
can
get
himself
out
of
the
situation.
Now, moving on;
Did
When?
Even
they
looked
confused
...
Hide
She’s got a point
Aight,
Stop,
How
is this
happening
.
Two
Sides
If only the
authors would let them argue as equals
No avail
[Also what even was the
argument?
“A lot of people want to stay neutral because we don’t want to screw over our lives and that’s how I’ll be presenting our case”
“ A lot of people like taking the initiative and being involved
in the action,”
I don’t recall.. .
[Public hum.]
[Puppy Dog]
[You’re nice]
[slightly guilty] Yea,
I am
[Here’s Anakin]
Anakin...
[Puppy
Dog]
“Your couriers asked me to do it,”
Couriers- no
“You’re
hiding behind people,”
Blue dude
steps in
I know she was the only one
contributing any actual philosophy
Obi-Wan getting one line in
Before the writers went
full defense..
...
That was like the junk food
(the potato chips)
Of
Arguments
Something
happened
but
there
was
no
value
. . .
There was more dead air
in the conversation than anything
else,
Indeed
Non-sense
That was junk food
Stop padding yourself on the back
For writing
a void argument
Also I really don’t trust the courier
guy...
[Call it
old grudge]
Why would Duchess
invite one of a her servants...
To a high class
Senator
event..
Look
at
this
guy
...
Look at everyone else
. .
He
sticks
out
like
a sore
thumb
. . .
And
he’s
done
nothing
but
be
insubordinate
this
entire
time.
Essentially
being
Obi-Wan’s
“Yes”
hype
man,
(Are we sure
guy isn’t a court jester)
I think
multitude makes discord and
not a good counsel
!
...
She...
(Constant character
ization!)
Do it
[or hold them accountable to
hypocrisy!)
Seriously,
So far this is neither mentally engaging or
funny,]
And it’s ONLY to screw with Duchess
Seriously,
Stop playing
defense for
Obi-won
[I know it’s called Star Wars
but that doesn’t mean you have to glorify militarization]
Outside of in universe characters
Right
Two
Sides
(For
five seconds)
Before you started hiding behind meat shields and puppy dog eyes
Hers
As do you
[That wasn’t funny,
Movie,
Save the soundtrack
for when
something funny
happens)
Now,
Oof
See, that was emotion
Somethings the writers
Refuse to let Obi-
Wan do,
It’s either a bad ass or
puppy dog eyes,
- -
You know what as
nonsensical as this is
It’s better than the
fake
arguing-
Con-tinue
Aight
Neat
Can’t see
anything in here
Dark
And a high-class vehicle
meant to escort a very important
person
Yeah I’m aware
thanks for rubbing it in my
face
Doesn’t it make any sensical, or fix the problem
Or make it funny
...
Whelp
“Not funny”
Hey, my thoughts when watching this
episode
[except that was actually funny and
slightly good foreshadowing]
Guess we know where we disagree,
Prefer laughing at their own un-balanced narrative,
Made by cheating...
.....
Hey an actually argument
where they treated as equals!
You don’t get a star for that
Why did you bother with the other shit
instead of just skipping
to stuff like this?
This is
good
Also shut up
courier guy
[you have helped no one ever]
Rest
Hey this is actually good
Dinner..
Oof
Right
That was almost a
facial expression
.
?
Who these guys ?
Where did they
come from?
-
Aight,
Neat-
Red
That’s unfortunate-
?
Ship?
(What is that design?)
History
See you look at all these
lighted and gold..
Extended
Mission,
Okay,
that’s good to know.
- -
Would’ve been nice to be clued into that the
previous episode.
Okay,
Right,
Bountry
Hunters
That sounds really
traumatizing
(Aka. terrible)
That actually does sound pretty
terrible for him
Still an
enabler
But nice
characterization.
.
Hand to mouth
Now realizing
how terrible that sounds
Rom-antic
No
sounds
terrible
Also they were children
likely,
(Don’t think that’s cool,)
That wasn’t really an emotion
Whelp,
Crud
?
Whelp
(Now
you’ve
scared
the
baby
droid)
/j
Violence
Wait did we just miss
her whole backstory?
Also whoa, whoa,
Whoa
Did you just try to assume authority over a grown woman’s decision to not like violence?
(People aren’t just buttons and numbers decided by the trauma of their childhood- or lack there of-
(If so)
And tried to claim authority
over a grown woman‘s decision
What the HELL
movie?
(I want to believe
that’s a mistake and Obi-Wan is meant
to come across as the asshole
For saying that,)
But all the writers
previous choices regarding
writing women
Leave that up to
concerning amounts
of doubt)
Difficult task
Which she seemingly manage
quite well until you showed up
Problematic..
Yeah, jedi Masters don’t really do not being over involved
assholes
Else where
And your
master
Demanded
Feelings
Hold up we saw one decent episode (instance) where they were characterized as being equals
A) That doesn’t mean
necessarily romantic love
B) we have seen
literally none of it
No instance
where there actually seems to be any fondness
Between, the both of them
Just...
Toxic
(If you need to pull that off you need some actual
emot
ional stimuli
Aka.
Emotions
Where are
they actually care about each other
So far it’s been snipping with no
personal
(Romantic)
Attraction
Example;
(Note
Romantic is not naturally
my field)
Intro;
“Satine - I,”
“ I wish to keep this
strictly professional)
(Under “For both of our
Breath sakes,”
To
Her
self;
Argue;
“Well, I at least don’t
leave
the
people who require my assistance,”
“I’m a better peacekeeper
than you,”
And so forth;
It’s about the
longing;
These two;
nothing..
Decison
Did
Seriously, why are we watching this,
passive tone. .
Whelp
Remorse
Which you haven’t felt this entire
episode,
Also,
regret
and
longing are better
synonyms.
?
Aight
...
Okay,
Oh yeah and the other half of this “love” story is a horror story
(Completely unconnected,
No one’s going
T’sundre)
What ever
. .
The rest
is
pretty good
Also it was totally the courier guy,
I call it,
Me
That’s almost
charming. .
.
Find
Out.
?
Seriously no one
checked it?
Worst security ever
It
This security
sucks
. . .
Worst ship ever
..
What?
Okay?
Aight
What..?
Aight,
Whelp
Aight,
Traitor
Courier
He changes his opinion on a dime
and starts shit
Okay
And not attacking
shit
Logic,
?
Okay
Everyone just got attacked
Surprised
everyone’s not jumpy
Or decided
to go to bed
On this nightmare
cruise
(”The luggage compartment is
under-lit,
Senator,”
“The - Security
is horrendous
“Bugs in
All the
Food!”
The HR department is
going to have a fecking fit
(As well as anyone
managing
quality)
?
Courier
Again, what does the little things do?
They just seem to be
basic annoyances
But..okay
That makes
some sense.
I mean it is
logical
But he is being a dick
(Also bold you to assume none of the
clones did it)
Ha
Knew
It
Merrick
Senator?
I thought he was a courier, or some
kind of servant?
What?
Throw the table
will you?
Whelp
Also;
R.I.P one Senator dude
(Who I don’t think was
ever named)
Shall be missed
(The bug
Obi-Wan will definitely hit that
senator)
WHERE THE
FU-
Where?
Worst.
Security.
Ever.
Tal
Merica
I have problems that
I haven’t found
He’s learned
well from Obi-wan
And will make the Jedi
Masters groan.
Okay
Team
Command.
Aight
Oh yeah
those guys got screwed over?
But they’re totally dead
now right?
Heck
One nuisance
bug. .
?
Clone’s have bug
phobia
(Dis
like)
Thanks
Mother
How do you know?
S’up guys
Straight out
of a puppet show,
Anyway
Whelp,
Whelp
Okay,
Saltine’s probably
gone
by now.
?
Are there
no escape
pods?
W-h
-elp
Aight
apparently
not
Also
the
centerion
guard
are
bitches)
(Non
derog)
Pfft
That..
line
Also Satine,
Why did I bring the weakest
freaking guards
And
everything involved
in it.
Monster
You literally-
Pfft
Okay..
“Get used to it”
What?
Whelp
Hi
.. .
Bull
Do you just took out the Centurion
Guard, Ain’t some
clones
gonna stop him
Or deter,”
Help
?
What?
?
.. .
Elevator
Dude you were just spilling your fecking
epilogue
a few seconds ago
(Also wrong
tone to make this work)
?
Not reasonable
progression of emotions,
?
How does this help?
?
Aight,
Okay,
What’s
“Deathwatch command,
You’re listening to our talk tunes
at-”
?
- -
They’re
not gonna be any help
They’re a
small moon
base
.
Possibly a
Gaztrillion miles away,
Liar
Not likely
Aight-
-
?
How
Like if this is supposed to be a luxury ship design for the best of comfort and greatest of experience,
No way dude’s
caught up in that quick a time
Especially
with the little support
Whelp
It’s just went
downhill. .
Into
crazy nonsense.
Dead.
?
How
Girl-
That hasn’t
even been remotely established
enough
My-
-
Stop-
No gun
You
gonna..
duchess
?
?
-
Aight
(Please
Do)
Did pretty good at getting
hostage
Chips
. . .
Four (five counting
her)
And I don’t know how many others in terms of clones
Point being, it seems to be a
mostly empty ship
Run by droids
.
Anakin
Do
Thing?
- - -
Okay
Guy already
dead.
?
Hey, the centurion
guards actually did something,
?
Who are those
guys-
Nerrick
? ?
Whelp
. .
Okay
.
“I don’t know how to say
this,”
I swear if you say “I love you
in that tone of voice, With
‘no emotion,
Whatsoever
Ight
Uhm
Okay
Right...
The lack of understanding of
love
And any emotion in this scene,
Does it for
me,
?
Neither do I
Gag me
It’s so
poorly
done
. ..
Hardly
(Screw the music
you didn’t earn that
and you know it)
?

?

The
Episode

Was better than its predecessor,

much,

Me
The first bit is as dis-jointed a mess as it’s predecessor

Nonsense
