Episode Title: "Grievous Intrigue" / "The Deserter"

Writer: Ben Edlund / Carl Ellsworth

Tagline: "For everything you gain, you lose something else." / "It is the quest for honor that makes one honorable."

Story: 2010 kicked off last night with a double helping of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." The first episode sees three Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Adi Gallia, storm General Grievous's flagship in an effort to rescued captured Jedi Master Eeth Koth. Grievous escapes, forcing Kenobi to pursue the Separatist leader to the nearby world of Saleucami. On the surface, Clone Captain Rex takes refuse with a local family after he is injured in a sniper attack. During his convalescence, Rex meets a brother clone who has chosen a different life for himself.

Four Jedi, Eight Lightsabers: The first of the two episodes is filled with chases down tight ship corridors and flailing lightsabers as Grievous and his Jedi pursuers face off. »
