Cookie: “Those who enslave others, inevitably become slaves themselves.” Not that they would ever realize it, but just as the queen will make the case that Anakin is a slave to his friends and institutions, she's doing the same thing with her fledgling empire. They have their own institutions that control them, even if they're too blind to see it. Plus, she's also a slave to Dooku and her other masters.
“Kidnapped!” Now Kane is stating previous episode titles in the opening.
“The role of 'master' comes easily to me.” I wonder if Padme agrees. She does have that leather bustier...
Well, that was a fast reaction. Did the queen have some plan ready if anyone in the city mentioned Bruno's name, droid ready to swoop in and an alert to the nearest guards?
Ahsoka's eyeroll at Anakin's attempt at flattery is something I can relate to. Seems that what he whispers provides the real magic, though.
Hey, one of the heads of the Five Hutt Families!
Subtle plan, Obi-Wan. Shocking that it fails.
I know we got one in the Mandalorian arc, but it's still shocking to see suicide in a children's cartoon.
The queen hardly notices. She is one cold, despicable individual.
Poor Obi-Wan. Two episodes in a row of him getting his butt kicked. Rough week.
Ah, the Return of the Jedi tribute. Doesn't go quite as well this time, though, does it? I wonder if Artoo was remembering that on Jabba's Sail Barge. Thinking "Geez, I hope this works this time."
Hard to take on an empire with four people, even these rather capable four.
Anakin, always so willing to go a little dark side as he's quick to Force Choke the queen. I love how likeable the show makes him without ever forgetting that.
Ahsoka casually knocking the guy off the ledge is pretty awesome, though. Testament that even with the collar, she has all the power and can use it any time. Why they're too dumb to realize it, I don't know.
Casual murder. That's freakin' dark. But, hey, slavers. That's expected.
The queen has her own little dark side temptation for Anakin. He easily realizes she would have all the power in the relationship, though. An extra note of tragedy with his blind spot when it comes to Palpatine.
And everyone is in a rough spot. Though Ahsoka seems to have more of a handle on hers that the others don't. Yet.
Next: Time to rise up and “Escape from Kadavo”!
