Notes & Trivia[]
"Hey, nerf-herders! Headhunter's Holosuite Wiki has a collection of images related to Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Weapons Factory.
- Star Wars was created by writer, director and executive producer George Lucas. It first captured the imaginations of movie goers in May, 1977 with its inaugural installment, which has since come to be identified by its full title, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The movie led to two sequels, a prequel trilogy, a third trilogy, several spin-off films, and numerous television programs, animated projects, novels, comic books, and video games, as well as developing into a merchandising giant.
- Opening quotation: No gift is more precious than trust. [1]
- With this episode, Star Wars: The Clone Wars begins airing at 9:00 pm on Saturday evenings, as opposed to 8:00 pm.
- The events of this episode are a re-interpreted adaptation of events chronicled in Star Wars: Republic #67, published by Dark Horse Comics in July, 2004. The character of Ahsoka Tano did not appear in the comic story. [3]
- The events of this episode take place in 21 BBY, one-year after the events of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and two years prior to Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Allusions[]
- The strategy that Luminara Unduli puts together to sabotage the weapons factory is an old Star Wars favorite. The trope involves the protagonists analyzing a holographic blueprint of the target location, which in this case involves catacombs, then planting an explosive near a reactor that causes a chain reaction, yadda, yadda, yadda. This is the same tactic used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic against the Death Stars in both Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, as well as by the Resistance against the First Order at Starkiller Base in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
Quotes[]
- Buzz: Buckle your belts and check your cells, soldiers. We're going in.
....
- Luminara Unduli: If you're both finished with your little discussion, we do have a factory to destroy.
....
- Anakin Skywalker: We cannot abandon our Padawans!
- Luminara Unduli: You misjudge me. I too, care for my Apprentice. But if their time has come...
- Anakin Skywalker: I refuse to let Ahsoka die! She will find a way out.
- Luminara Unduli: If my Padawan has perished, I will mourn her, but I will celebrate her as well, through her memory.
- Anakin Skywalker: Well, I still plan on celebrating this victory with my Padawan... in person.
....
- Anakin Skywalker: I knew they were still alive! I told you we shouldn't give up on them!
- Luminara Unduli: It's not that I gave up Skywalker, but unlike you, when the time comes, I am prepared to let my student go. Can you say the same?
....
- Barriss Offee: Whatever you're doing, I hope it works, because I would rather have died fighting up there, then starved to death down here.
- Ahsoka Tano: Don't worry, we'll run out of air long before we starve.
- Barriss Offee: That's a comforting thought, thanks.
