CW 22: Hostage Crisis

Hi Guys, sorry for the delay on the final session of Clone Wars Series, been really busy, well here it is:

The Series starts off, with Cad Bane and his gang of bounty hunters in the capital city of Corusant making their way to the Senate Building.

Nice Details on the commando driods !

They infiltrated East Wing of the Senate building and eliminate all the Senate Guards before locking down the entire building. Thus taking the occupants hostage and using them as a bargaining tool to free Zitro the Hutt from prison.
If you listen carefully to this part “Zitro Says “Ohh It’s so bright out here…then the Trooper say “Oh My God” LOL!

Caught in all in this was Anakin Skywalker, as he was in Padme Quarters… and it’s his up to him to free the Senators…..

Key Highlights
Cad Bane – New Bounty Hunter which appears in CW, as of Bounty Hunter his suppose to be a Bad Ass Sharp Shooter. He kind of reminds me of a grasshopper (lol)…but the guys in the forum adore him and the design.

Aurra Sing – For Fans who loves to collect bounty hunters figures, this is already an established character. Most Fans of her would be glad to see that they included her in the Clone wars line.

Senate Guards – Yet another look at them in the series, they look super good! Can’t wait for the Figure to be out! Their helmet looks very much to a ROMAN Guard helmet. Really adore them, defiantly a figure for army building!

Commander Fox & the Corusant Guards – They made their first appearance in the Clone Wars movie and here they are again.

My Take:

For me as a final episode it was kind of disappointing…as I thought they could do better, maybe because I am not a big fan of bounty hunters. Moreover it was not as action pack as I hope for in a session finale, as compared to the pervious Episode 21.

Sometime it makes me wonder, if Lucas films builds their story around the toy figures line up from Hasbro, as it sure feel that way too me, as some of the episode really has no relevance to the Story and usually a new charter would appear in them, example the episode which feature Rex & his troopers in snow gear.

Have said this, I guess there will be a Battle Pack or Single charted figures of Cad Bane on his gang of Bounty hunters and hope that Hasbro make them “Senate Guards” !

Stay Tune for the next Second Session, this Fall !

CW 21: Liberty of Ryloth

With continuation of the last episode, General Mace Windu and his assault force leads the last offensive to retake the capital city of the plant Ryloth, fans of Windu would feel a little tingling sense of excitement as this would be first time in the CW Epi that they would see Windu in action.

With his forces stretch thin across Ryloth, Windu is out numbered and with no able aid from the Jedi council or the republic, Windu seeks the help of Sham Shindulu a local freedom fighter which people of Ryloth look up to as a Symbol of Freedom.
An alliance of the Windu & Shindulu was secured after the reports of droids bombing the local villages.

The episode ends with Windu sneaking into the city as stole away in the last shipment of treasures for Wat Timbor and Windu re- activates the plasma bridge (which is the only way into the capital city) and retakes the capital city with his combine forces.

The Tactical droid left Wat Timbor alone to face the humiliating defeat by the Republic forces, and send a squad of droid bombers to level the city, in a desperate attempt of defeat, however Windu and his forces were save by Anakin and Asoka who took out the remaining droid bombers with their Jedi fighters.

All in all Windu was AWESOME, his moves were great and of course the force was strong with him and the best part he loves his clones! I have some picture to prove it.

Key highlights:
1)A New Commander - was shown here, but there was no mention of his name, if you look carefully there are marking/words engraved into the back of his helmet nice!


2) Lightning squadron - which consist of ARF troopers with walkers.

3) ARF Troopers – Advance Recons Tactical Troopers/Forces
4) Droid Bombers – with a similar design to the Starwars Imperial Tie – Bombers, in-terms of the wing design & dual cockpits.

5) There was a nice slow motion part, when the Plasma Bridge was deactivated, and Windu was making a Jump for it. Rarely see these effects in the CW series.

Dislikes:
1) The Army of Windu should have been the Colours of purple as that is his squad color, 187th Legion.
2) ARF troopers, showed have been in the camouflage paint job as the CW movie.
*just my 2 cents…*

Windu Says Force OFF, now You See Them, now you dont:

The Loves his Clones, here are the scene that he save them.

Master Mace Windu:

Windu springs into action, when his AT-TE is shot down:
Windu Clone Commander:

Lightning squadron

ARF Troopers:

Droid Bombers:

This scene confirms that the battle droids, are dumb & gay....
