Obi-Wan goes undercover in prison.
Boba Fett, Cad Bane, and Bossk.
Don’t drop the soap, Obi!
Sun Tzu would be proud.
Its about time the Jedi get down and dirty to fight this war.
Theyre certainly not going to win it by heroic derring-do and high-handed moralizing alone.
I mean, theyre really,reallynot.
Actually, theyre all going to be exterminated.
Or bantha shoot, as it were.
Actually, the whole plot of Deception reminded me a lot of Day 3 on24.
Our Jack had gone rogue?
The mastermind of this anti-Palpatine conspiracy?
A bounty hunter named Moralo Eval, who I think must share some mutant DNA with Batmans Killer Croc.
Seriously, though, steer clear of the Twilek hookers.
You dont want to tangle with their Weequay pimps.)
NEXT: Obi-Wan becomes One with the Force.
Suddenly, a flash of crimson blaster fire pierced the citys lime and fuchsia light.
An anonymous sniper craving Jedi blood set his sights on our trio.
As Yoda would later say, A better performance your corpse gave.
But Team Double-A suspected nothing.
Anakin immediately cried, Obi-Wan!!!
Yes, Master Kenobi had become One with the Force.
That guy played by Alec Guinness in the original trilogy was clearly the product of advanced Kaminoan cloning technology.
He was bred to even think that hewasObi-Wan Kenobi.
Anyway, a full Jedi funeral was held for Obi-Wan.
Youd think that thered be some questions raised by this puzzling exception, but no.
Instead, Obi-Wans body was lowered into some kind of mausoleum at the Jedi Temple.
There to pay her final respects was Satine (!
But alas, this Duchess doesnt kiss and tell.
added musical punctuation to the solemn occasion.
But Anakin grieves just like he experiences every other emotion: by taking action.
Off he went in search of his masters killer.
NEXT: Obi-Wan finds that you only live twice.
And his killer almost gets some action from an anti-Jedi bar patron.
which must be a go-to pick-up line in theStar Warsgalaxy.
It must have been the perps facial tat.)
It was Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Now, who could have seenthatcoming?
Oh, right, everyStar Warsfan whos ever lived.
ThinkFace/Offas directed by George Lucas.
(Why not just use this new alopecia look as a disguise?)
That begs the question: did the Jedi somehow put a blank blaster cartridge in Hardeens rifle?
I guess its entrapment, but clearly Hardeen deserved to be locked behind bars.
NEXT: Obi-Wan adjusts to life in the big house and almost gets a taste of shark-fin soup.
Anakin found the newlyHardeenedObi-Wan at that same cantina and brought him to the Republic slammer.
Like all prisoners in any pokey, Obi-Wan was immediately fed a hot meal.
(ExpectLock-Up: Coruscantto dominate MSNBCs weekend lineup this fall.)
To quote Keanu Reeves… Whoa.
Moralo immediately sensed a kindred spirit, and tried to get Hardeen to join his plot to kidnap Palpatine.
It would be a sign of weakness!
And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
So much so that he automatically doubled his rate.
Who said I wantedyourrespect?
Make that triple Cad Banes usual salary.
NEXT: Boba Fett starts a prison riot!
Glad to see that the Trandoshan bounty hunter is all into gym safety.
Somehow Obi-Wan knew that underneath the bench the Jedi had left an encrypted comlink.
While a chorus of fellow inmates shouted to Hardeen to Kill him!
Obi-Wan let the brat strike first.
Their bare knuckle brawl lasted but a moment with Hardeen quickly getting the kid into a cry uncle position.
Luckily, he had backup.
You got a problem with Boba, you got a problem withme, Bossk rasped.
That was why Seth Green and Matthew Senreichs take on Boba inRobot Chicken Star Warswas so epically brilliant.
I mean, what has he really ever done?
I gotta admit.
That would be pretty awesome, and would at least partly justify his standing in bounty hunter-dom.
Dave Filoni, take note!
NEXT: As if any prison could hold Cad Bane.
Cad, Moralo, and new recruit Hardeenhey, he killed a Jedimade their way out the cafeteria.
The escape had begun!
Only problem was that Cad found the lock to a door he needed to open had been changed.
And by hotwire I mean use the Force to open it the old-fashioned way.
The plan was to escape via the morgue.
Theyd hide in coffins, get sent down to the crematorium, then bust out.
Careful timing they would need to avoid getting toasted.
But they all jumped out when the guards noticed life signs in the coffins.
Obi-Wan hesitated to shoot a guard, which Cad Bane surely noticed.
(The Republic even has clones serve as prison wardens?
Karen Travisss Three million clones theory is looking more and more laughable.)
Clearly the Jedi Master isnt willing to go all the way to maintain the deception.
And that will likely be his undoing.
Once outside, they stole a speeder and then a ship from an unsuspecting Quarren.
Really, a Quarren can never get a break, can he?
And then it was off for parts unknown.
Could Boss Lyonie redeem himself by heroically laying down his life to protect Chancellor Palpatine?
Do you think Ricky Kennedys idea that Boba develops his reputation by killing Cad Bane is spot on?
And did you ever suspect that Obi-Wan could play the part of a thug so well?
