“Love comes in all shapes and sizes” reads the opening quote from the latest installment of the Star Wars spin-off. But the love from aficionados in this particular tale is undoubtedly engendered by the appearance of fan favourite, Quinlan Vos. And now, here he is doing his thing – generally pissing off Obi Wan (though, in truth, not too difficult, this being his ‘square’ years before he became a cool hermit). If Han Solo were a Jedi, then he would definitely be in the mould of Quinlan Vos. But, the main ‘star’, if you like, of Hunt For Ziro is the front ‘woman’ for the Max Rebo Band, Sy Snootles (yes, I thought she would have died with rest of the band on Jabba’s Sail Barge too, but there we go). Snootles, as it transpires, has a thing going on with Ziro, hence the opening quote. Thankfully, the twists and turns involving her character render these facets all the more interesting. Though not, perhaps, as interesting as the bizarre interspecies relationship witnessed onscreen. In the words of Olivia Newton-John, they get physical. Cripes. Highlight of the episode goes to the incredible set piece at the end featuring an admirably cinematic face-off between bounty hunter Cad Bane (who’s got a few Boba Fett-style moves on the go), Kenobi and the aforementioned Vos. The Jedi are taken to their limits and, in fact, bested by the Spaghetti Western-style bad boy. The Clone Wars again demonstrates that variety is the spice that keeps the show so dynamic and worth tuning in for every week. Read our review of episode 8, Evil Plans, right here.
