The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette‘s Tuned-in Journal (It’s a blog, dude: Just call it a blog) has a surprisingly detailed description of the episode’s contents. Worth noting: It made a ‘a positive impression.’
Spoilers are black-barred and reproduced beneath the cut.
The episode’s opening featured a re-orchestrated “Star Wars” theme song and an announcer whose voice sounds like a World War II news reel announcer.
The episode featured Jedi master Yoda on a trip to a planet to convince a leader to allow the Republic to build a base nearby. Evil Count Dooku sends evil Asajj Ventress to win the aliens’ alliance before Yoda’s arrival.
There’s a maturity to the storytelling as Yoda gives the clones a pep talk, saying, “Clones you may be, but The Force resides in all life forms.”
Later, in an amusing and unexpected moment, Yoda beheads a droid as it talks with Ventress via a hologram transmitter.
Wow–I’m scared to read the full articles for fear of spoilers, but these are the latest headlines from the SW.com news aggregator:

No, they are indeed mostly positive.
