05: Rookies and the R3-S6 Arc (Clone Wars 05-07)
"I have a bad feeling about this." - Commander Cody, Rookies
"I have a bad feeling about this." - Anakin Skywalker, Downfall of a Droid
"I have a bad feeling about this." - Captain Rex: Duel of the Droids
This week, we've finally hit a truly solid episode in our first Clone-focused romp, "Rookies," which raises questions not only about Clone individuality but also the Republic's handle on... everything. We also delve into Droid personhood (and beef) in a two parter that separates Anakin from true series protagonist, R2-D2. It's a story that has one real lesson: Do not fuck with R2-D2.
Next time: Episodes 8-10
