After last episode\'s cohesive and sumptuous Mandalore Arc, today\'s follow up was going to have a high bar to clear. And, unfortunately, all three of today\'s episodes come up short. That\'s not to say there\'s nothing of note here: the opening "Senate Murders" gives us some back room politicking and a little extra insight into senatorial processes, but it raises more questions than it answers. The other two episodes of the bunch have their charms too--especially if you\'re a sucker for tense submarine duels or stylized bounty hunter designs. But all in all, it\'s just as Rob says in today\'s intro: They cannot all be winners. Thankfully, that won\'t stop us from having our own brand of incredibly punchy fun with what they offer us anyway.

NEXT TIME: Episodes 40 & 41 ( "The Zillo Beast" & "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back")
