I guess he’d be wet everywhere but you get the idea. Prince Lee-Char of the Mon Cala was likeable enough as the wet behind the ears leader of his people…. Of course ‘Captain’ Ackbar being in the episode was awesome, but it was nice to have a couple new characters to build on. Even the underwater sounds throughout the episode stood out to me, because at least if they were following certain aspects of physics throughout, they got the voices and sounds right. The Hydroid Medusa weapons of the Separatists were another example of the great animation.
The underwater battles were breathtaking even though as a geek I still question how blasters are being fired underwater. The visuals and animation on this show gets better and better with each season and season 4 is no different. This is the first under water battle we’ve seen on screen from Star Wars and it was quack-tastic…. (I always called them Mon Cal, but who am I to argue with the fish heads?) Thanks to the meddling of a creepy looking sharky faced Separatist ambassador, the bickering comes to a battle between the two species, with the Quarren obviously siding with the Separatists and the Mon Cala with the Republic. The episode deals with the planet of Mon Calamari and the always constant bickering between the Quarren race and the Mon Cala themselves. Let it begin! Two new episodes of Clone Wars premiere tonight! And on the same day as the movies on Blu-Ray, what more could a Star Wars geek ask? The first episode being reviewed is ‘Water War’! Sounds like a kid’s theme park or something but trust me it’s anything but.
