The Separatists have created a living barrier of Twi’lek hostages, aiming to protect themselves by playing into the compassion of the Jedi and their troops. That Waxer and Boil even possess the ability to change their minds, to recognize that perhaps their first impression of the Twi’leks was too callous, makes the flesh-and-blood clone force superior to the droid army they’re fighting. Although clearly uncomfortable with affection, they cannot deny the compassion they feel for this innocent child. And yet there’s something about her big eyes and spindly arms that makes the clones, born for battle, soften. She’s not afraid to use the weapons at her disposal, including her teeth, to defend herself and she understands when her only hope of survival is to hide.
The emaciated little girl, half-starved and terribly frightened, is tougher than she seems. It’s easy to see an entire village of Twi’leks as little more than a hindrance when they’re a faceless idea, a tactical disadvantage during a perilous game of war and an obstruction to fighting that makes the job the clones are there to do even harder than usual.īut once Boil and his cohort Clone Trooper Waxer meet Numa, everything changes. Although General Obi-Wan Kenobi’s orders are to keep an eye out for the locals, some of his troops, including Clone Trooper Boil, are dismissive of their plight.”If we’re here to free the tail-heads, the least they can do is get out of our way,” he says. But the Republic’s mission is complicated when they find the natives being used as living shields and two clones encounter a young girl, Numa, on her own.Īs the clone forces head to the surface of the besieged planet for the first time, there’s an air of disdain for the natives of Ryloth. Obi-Wan Kenobi leads a small clone force into a Separatist-occupied town on Ryloth in an effort to sabotage their anti-aircraft guns. “The costs of war can never be truly accounted for.” We’d be honored if you would join us and share your thoughts on the award-winning series.Ģ3 : “Innocents of Ryloth ” (Season One, Episode 20) To celebrate the 10 th anniversary of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and the all-new episodes coming thanks to #CloneWarsSaved, we’re undertaking a full chronological rewatch of the five original seasons, The Lost Missions, and the theatrical release.
