A Distant Echo

This episode sees Anakin lead 'The Bad Batch' of clone troopers on a mission to see if the clone Echo is really being held and used to predict the Republic's battle strategies.

It is a very solid and entertaining episode with strong action, some nice humour, some good touches such as the emotion of Rex searching for his old comrade and Anakin trying to sneak contact with his secret wife Padme.

The animation is excellent.

My only real negative would be that I would have preferred more of a major plot development story to do with Anakin/Obi Wan and the Sith.

My rating: 8/10.
