The Clone Wars: Shades of Reason
Andrew Leon and I are watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Every Tuesday, we will be featuring an episode from the series which
began in 2008.
Episode: "Shades of Reason"
Series: Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Season 5, Episode 15
Original Air Date: January 25, 2013
The Maul/Opress/Death Watch story continues. Darth Maul gets his new underworld buddies, known as the Shadow Collective, to launch simultaneous attacks on Mandalore, undermining Dutchess Satine and allowing Pre Vizsla to usurp her power. The political intrigue, however, is just beginning. Apart from being an interesting story in its own right, this tale provides insight into how the Sith, or really anyone with sufficient forethought, might exploit a power struggle on an individual world for their own political gain. The whole scenario was like something out of Machiavelli.
Ziton Moj, a Falleen working for Black Sun, joined the Shadow Collective last week when Savage Opress killed the rest of Black Sun's leaders. While this arc marks his introduction and only appearance in The Clone Wars, Moj does feature in subsequent novels and comic books. He is voiced by Corey Burton.

This is a really good arc. In fact, they could have just not done the frog arc and made this one eight episodes.
ReplyDeleteSurely, they could have worked Gregor into this story somehow.
