This episode marks a real introduction of the idea of a rebellion and a Rebel Alliance who fight against the separatists but also do not side with the Republic. They can see both sides are becoming less clear cut good vs evil and more dark and twisted.

The episode is mostly about the Jedi helping train some rebels and a subplot of some romantic tensions. It is nothing amazing but the building block towards later parts of the story is very interesting.

This also introduces Saw Gerrera who would feature in Rogue One!

My rating: 7.5/10.

This episode is a start to a nice story, which is actually believable.

Ashoka and company train self defense to a handful of rebels in a newly found separatist controlled planet. But, it thus leads to terrorism and a full out freedom movement, and a war on a second front. Ashoka there is united with a past friend.

Is it right to train a pocket of rebels so they can overthrow a ruler. Maybe or maybe not. It is am engaging episode with some well choreographed action scenes, but it is low on "emotion" value, which I think is what the makers were trying to do. You do not feel the attachment towards the characters, i'e' if one of them is to die, you won't feel bad or sad about it. Except Ashoka of-course. Maybe it is intentional as Cartoon Network is viewed by little children too, who prefer action to some emotional drama. And one more thing, that nudge in the back scene seems a little irritating to me because of the fact that it was repeated a few times :/.

Direction/animation: Good!.

Script: Good.

Music: Great!.

Overall an engaging and enjoyable episode.

I don't understand how anyone likes this episode, the Jedi's are training terrorists. The are supporting, funding and training terrorists, Anakin even comes up with the plan to blend into the population and then strike out to attack the government only to blend back into the populace basically turning all the citizens into human shields and worse yet Obi-wan agrees with his plan and says that he has hope for it.

It would be one thing if this was some other Jedi who pulled this like Krell betraying the republic and killing his clone troops it works because he isn't part of the main cast we don't know him or how he does things but we know Anakin, we know Obi-wan, we know Asoka. To have all 3 of them (especially Obi-wan) supporting building up terrorists like this is just so jarring, all this will do is make it so the entire population will be under suspicion by the king and mass arrests and executions will follow. The Jedi's have done some questionable things so far in the series but this is the first time they've done something that is so black and white evil.

Theres also a terrible love triangle plot but it's really not worth mentioning.
