4.8 The General Krell only wants to get the job done, taking the capital of the planet Umbara, and is quite happy to dispense with pleasantries, not to mention actual Clones, causing much unrest in the ranks. The General hinges on the relationship between the Clones who see themselves very much as brothers, a notion broached in previous excellent episodes like season three’s Clone Cadets and ARC Troopers. Aside from getting the brain box thinking about the very nature of the Clones and the purpose they serve (a purpose that will change, don’t forget), The General is also a wonderful treat on the eye balls. Between the moral dilemmas we’re presented with terrific set pieces and a cracking array of explosions. This is mainly down to the unusual, and superior, technology of the Umbarans, from their unique fighter ships to the centipede like machines which trawl under and overground, destroying all in their way. Complimenting the visceral visuals are a collection of remarkably alien sounds to pique the ear, a feat not managed so far by the television Star Wars spin off.
