Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Prisoners (2011)
Season 4, Episode 3
7/10
Treading water
29 September 2020
This is the conclusion of a relatively disappointing 3 part opening story to Season 4. The story was a bit dragged out over 3 episodes and is pretty run of the mill but has decent characters and fun action.

The underwater idea is interesting and I must give credit for the ambition to show a totally different world and unique battle ideas. However it was very hard to achieve plausibility and sadly the lack of logic in physics, even within the fantasy world of Star Wars, is too jarringly obvious throughout the 3 parts. There is not enough quality in the rest of this story to distract from that so it stands out to me too much.

On the other hand if you ignore the physics this is an ok adventure on an interesting world. It is not great but it is not bad.

There are some bits of fun such as the Jaws tribute as the villain who looks like a shark has a visual moment at the end that clearly is echoing the ending of the famous movie.

Not bad but a comparative disappointment.

My rating: 6.5/10.
