The second episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars last week, ‘The Deserter’, about Rex’s discovery of a clone deserter-turned-father while Obi-wan and Cody try to apprehend a crash-landed Grievous, turned out to give the fans something to enjoy:
- TheForce.Net thought ‘The Deserter’ truly shined, with its philosophical debate, domestic scenes, and zombie-like feel to the final battle at the farmhouse.
- Pendragon’s Post calls it solid, and likes getting into the psychology of clones.
- IGN gives it an 8, but wishes that the Grievous/Obi-wan plot had been lessened, as well as the cuteness of those Twi’lek kids.
- Big Shiny Robot loved the final battle at the farmhouse, being reminded of the end of L.A. Confidential, and can’t get enough of those commando droids.
- Galactic Binder sees a “well executed storyline” and looks at Rex’s growth as he sees different notions of bravery.
- Broken Frontier thinks ‘Grievous Intrigue’ to be more entertaining, but ‘The Deserter’ to end up as one of the better dialogue-focused episodes.
