Far and away the best Clone Wars episode thus far, somehow topping the perfection of the one before it. Everything from the dialogue, the voice acting, the animation, Revenge of the Sith tie-ins, music, pacing, writing and THE FIGHTS are perfect. Sam Witwer deserves all of the awards imaginable for his performance in this episode; The desperation and venom in his voice is chilling and genuine, constantly managing to make Maul's goals and beliefs feel realistic. And the final fight scene is absolutely phenomenal and the choreography matched with the incredible motion capture make it one of the most incredible moments in the entire show. This entire story arc might just be one of the best pieces of Star Wars media ever created, and I cannot wait for the next episode. Even if it isn't as good as this one, it doesn't really need to be. And honestly, it'll be hard to get close to topping it.
