Not really sure where this storyline was going to go but the moons of Iego was... something. Most of the issues in this episode can be chalked up to people being stuck in one place for most of it's runtime on both ends and then when the issue is indeed resolve it just kind of... is. Zero buildup, everything is just miraculously ok. I understand that this show is for kids, and that's something important most people need to understand of course, but at the same time everything comes so naturally here it doesn't feel like there is any stakes here.
Still, it's not all bad. I like how Anakin's emotions get the better of him throughout most of this and Obi-Wan's reassurances to calm him down are what keep him sane, which is a great character beat. And when they do get to the planet of Iego it's a fun premise and idea - one that maybe could have used a whole arc to utilize better rather then have half a episode.
