Clone Wars: Declassified #76 "The General"

S4 E8

"The General"

General Krell orders Captain Rex and the clone troopers of the 501st Legion to conquer a heavily fortified Umbaran airbase, and will not accept anything less than victory. It is an almost certain suicide mission, unless the clones can use their ingenuity to defeat their new enemy.

This season four episode was directed by longtime George Lucas collaborator Walter Murch, an Oscar-winning sound design wizard who worked magic on such films as THX 1138, American Graffitti, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now, earning him the reputation as The Grandfather of Film Sound. Walter brings his film-making skills to the directors chair for the second part of the War on Umbara arc featuring General Krell. The clones under the generals command are having difficulties working with his abrasive nature and apparent lack of compassion for clone lives. We have a great conversation about this episode with a cool panel that includes RFR brother Billy Mac.
