The first story of season 1 was a good solid introduction but that was followed by a couple of comedic fillers. This is the first episode which shows more potential and quality of storytelling.
Our band of rebels hear that former Jedi Master Unduli is alive and in captivity in an Imperial prison cell. They mount a rescue attempt which leads them to encounter the Inquisitor and face some dark revelations.
This still has little bits of cartoonish humour but has plenty of darker, more grown up themes which lift the quality. The Inquisitor is a menacing villain and we get a very enjoyable lightsaber duel with him showing impressive skills and a special lightsaber design which is cool.
The animation is not up to Clone Wars standards which takes getting used to and I would prefer less of the cartoonish physics and silly humour which sneak in on occasion but this was a very good episode.
My rating: 8.5/10.
