Reviewing The Clone Wars: ‘Legacy of Terror’
With a title like ‘Legacy of Terror’, you could expect almost anything that could inspire a fright, and yet while there’s the horror of the walking dead in an underground labyrinth and Ceti eel-inspired mind control, the Jedi protagonists act without fear, defusing the tension in this episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars: ‘Legacy of Terror’ leaves a legacy of reviews
When defending against Geonosian zombies, the lightsaber is mightier than the blaster. When reviewing Geonosian zombies, the pen (or the keyboard) is still mightier than the saber. Here’s what survivors of the great bug zombie attack of Star Wars – The Clone Wars: ‘Legacy of Terror’ are saying:
- MTV Movies blog calls it, and the whole Geonosian story arc, exceptional, enjoying the new queen as a villain.
- BigShinyRobot enjoyed it as well, though calls it the weakest in the Geonosis arc so far, and points out the similarities betweeen the Geonosian queen and the queen from Aliens
- IGN gives it a 9 out of 10, relishing in the whole zombie aspect, and liking the banter between Obi-wan and Anakin.
- TFN calls it light on plot but heavy on other redeeming elements, such as focusing on the different Jedi approaches, and the ick factor.
- Joseph Lewis cheers for some genuinely heroic moments, and the lack of the annoying sidekick characters.
Was I just expecting too much of a Geonosian zombie storyline in my review? (Tune in later today to read it.) After all, while I enjoyed Death Troopers, I wished it were a bit more zombie horror-ific.

The Clone Wars review: ‘Weapons Factory’
So we’re sticking around Geonosis for a while, huh? I suppose it makes sense. Season 1 included a little virus-fueled trip to Naboo, and now that we’re in Season 2, it’s time to mine those Attack of the Clones locales. At this rate, the Ewoks will show up in Season 6, in what will be billed as their triumphant return to animation. Yub nub, Cartoon Network. Yub nub.
