Angels Unbound: Penemue (a to z) and Clone Wars -- "Supply Lines" (Ep. 3.3)

Penemue
Penemue, "the inside," another member of the Hand. He was both an Observer and a member of the Labbim, the Order of Healers (healing Angels). He first stepped outside of his role as an Observer by teaching men to write and of the making of ink. It is thought that he, in his role as a healer, was attempting to cure men of their stupidity.


Clone Wars

-- Where there's a will, there's a way.

This episode is interesting in that it serves as background to the very first Clone Wars episode, "Ambush," and as background to the season one Ryloth story arc. It's a bit like getting to go back to the fork in the road to see how one event caused two separate outcomes. Also, there's a death of a Jedi, never an inconsequential act.

We get to see Bail Organa in his role as a diplomat rather than the usual portrayal of him just as a senator. I tend to like the Bail Organa stuff, because of his importance to the formation of the Rebellion. It's good background to have.

And there's Jar Jar. This episode provides an interesting look at Jar Jar as Organa turns Jar Jar's generally perceived weakness into a strength that allows him to put one over on Lott Dod, and Jar Jar's in on the plan.

While this episode is fine to watch on its own, I think it can be best appreciated if you've already seen the episodes it leads to.
