Star Wars: Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 2 - 3 Ups & 3 Downs
3. Down - Lightsaber Action
Despite playing a major role in the episode, Anakin Skywalker only uses his iconic lightsaber twice. The first time, he struggles to defeat two battle droids in a pointless fight that takes about 30 seconds until he's ultimately saved by Crosshair. The second time, in the climactic clash of the episode, he's mostly off screen.
Lightsabers are one of the best parts of the Star Wars Universe. The lightsaber duels of the films are mind blowing, and Clone Wars has had some amazing fights as well. When Darth Maul and his brother Savage Opress clash sabers with Emperor Palpatine, Clone Wars proved it could handle big lightsaber moments.
Granted, the show is called Clone Wars, so, naturally, the focus will be on the blasters. However, last episode had no Jedi action at all, so seeing this one downplay its lightsabers too was disappointing.
