My friends and I are watching
Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Every Tuesday, we will be featuring an episode from the series which
began in 2008 (as opposed to the one that started in 2003). All are
welcome to join us for all or parts of the fun.
Episode: "The Academy"
Series:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Season 3, Episode 6
Original Air Date: October 15, 2010
This week's episode has a bit of a Hogwarts feel to it. Ahsoka has been assigned to teach a class at Mandalore's leadership academy. Four of her pupils - restless and hungry - take it upon themselves to investigate the planet's black market food trade. Wouldn't you know, corruption runs at the highest level of government and the young sleuths quickly find themselves in over their heads.
One of the four students is Korkie Kryze, nephew of Duchess Satine. Korkie will be back in Season 5. He is voiced by Whit Hertford.
Whitby Flint Hertford was born November 2, 1978 in Provo, Utah. He was a reasonably successful child actor, appearing in
Jurassic Park,
The Addams Family and
Beaches. As an adult, he is active on both screen and stage, where he has acting, directing and writing credits.

Next week: "Assassin."
This was not one of my favorite episodes.
ReplyDeleteSo I gathered from your post. It's not my favorite either, though I don't see it as quite so objectionable. I was charmed by the young vigilante detectives.
DeleteI've seen that guy!
ReplyDeleteOn stage? On screen? At the grocery store?
DeleteAh. That's why he looks familiar.
