JTA reader and resident The Clone Wars expert Michael Taber is gearing up to release his Season 4 synopsis. Click through for a sneak peek of what's coming soon!

Artoo and Threepio’s Magical Mystery Tour

The Clone Wars took some time to focus on the dynamic duo of Artoo and Threepio with the episodes “Mercy Mission” and “Nomad Droids.” What was the most exciting part of “Mercy Mission?” It was probably seeing Commander Wolffe in his new phase 2 armor. Overall I found the episode to be rather boring, but Artoo and Threepio got a few funny moments. However, I actually really enjoyed “Nomad Droids.” It would’ve made a wonderful standalone episode that reminded us of the different kind of events that happened throughout the Clone Wars, no matter how small. You have to accept it for what it is and just have some fun with Star Wars. I enjoyed seeing Artoo and Threepio travel to all those planets and the antics that ensued. The scene where Artoo and Threepio lost power was a truly touching moment and added a new layer to both of their characters. Too bad Threepio won’t remember all the various adventures he had with Artoo during the Clone Wars.
