The Clone Wars: Hero of the Confederacy

Despite the assertions of the opening crawl of Revenge of the Sith that there were heroes on both sides of the Clone Wars, the Star Wars saga hasn't always been good about showing that, making a lot of the members of the Confederacy into hypocrites and cowards out for personal gain. And though Hero of the Confederacy has to depict a "good" character being manipulated into fighting for them, he does honestly believe in what he's doing, which makes a nice counterbalance to all the outright "evil" characters we usually get. Tofen Vane's rise and fall is nice and compelling, and his relationship with Anakin Skywalker really works here. Count Dooku even gets some nice moments where we see he experiences genuine human emotion from time to show more time. This was definitely my favorite of the last few Clone Wars quarterly digests, and probably my favorite of the series altogether. show less
