The webcomic for this one is "Discount", starring our favorite deformed Trandoshan, Gha Nachkt! It takes place between the episodes and has to do with Nachkt double dealing to a couple of Separatist leaders, Passel Argente and Wat Tambor. Seems they don't trust one another. In the end, Nachkt sells a droid to Argente that transmits a feed to Tambor, allowing Tambor to spy on his rival.
Cookie: "You hold onto friends by keeping your heart a little softer than your head." A lesson Obi-Wan probably doesn't agree with at the end of the episode when he's berating Anakin for sacrificing the mission and men to get Artoo back.
Artoo being crafty as always. Gets the signal out, in spite of R3's efforts.
The Twilight's bigger than I realized.
The rifle-on-the-shoulder look never fails to look cool. Carrying an astromech droid like an infant on the other hand...
It does make one wonder why Rex didn't pull rank on one of the other troopers in carrying R3.
Artoo in pieces is a little disturbing.
RIP, Gha Nakt. The first of many to get the lightsaber through the back treatment.
R3 is revealed as the traitor to the audience fairly early. Hard to believe none of our heroes even suspected it.
Ahsoka's faith in Goldie, completely unfounded.
Droid poppers! Nice to see an element from the Republic Commando game making the TV show.
Grievous vs. Ahsoka. I know a lot of fans were not happy that he didn't immediately kill her. The general seems like one to "play with his food" so to speak.
Filoni colors an astromech with the shades of his favorite team, then not only makes it a turncoat, but kills it off. I wonder if there's some message about his psyche in there.
I love the look Anakin throws Ahsoka when she concludes they were "all fooled" by R3.
