The Rebel Faction

Now, let me just begin by making this perfectly clear from the get-go; I am not the biggest fan of this series. Don't get me wrong, as a Star Wars junkie I am bound by oath and blood to find a way to, by miracle or sheer force of will, love all things branded by the Lucas-logo and, let's be honest, the majority of the shows story-arcs have been entertaining to say the least. That said, I want to offer cheers and kudos to the writers behind the most recent arc which kicked off with "Overlords" (season 3, episode 15) and carried through the subsequent two episodes, "Altar of Mortis" and "Ghosts of Mortis."

Honestly, what a compelling story!

Anakin, Obi-Wan and Asoka are mysteriously drawn to a mysterious planet populated by three mysterious characters; a Father, a Son and a Sister. I really don't want to spoil the plot for anyone as, giving it two thumbs up, I'd call this 3-episode arc a Must-See for all Star Wars addicts.
Suffice us to say that each of the characters, outside of the core cast, represents an aspect of the Force personified in such a way that one could, for a time, forget all about medichloriens, Jar-Jar Binks and armies of clones fighting armies of droids...





That said, and on a purely selfish and personal note, directed at one Zark "Michelle" Ekan - Dude, regarding Counterproductive Pseudoantidisestablishmentarianism... I suggest watching these Ep's 'cos they'll be good for the thing we're doing. Y'know?

I shall be watching them soon - I now have season 3!
