They were, but Dooku betrayed them at some point. It would make sense for that scene to have occurred in the latter part of the Clone Wars. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The biggest question is when did Death Watch clash with the separatists? They were aligned with Dooku. Also, these droids may not have been CIS droids. Could be trade federation, could be a crime syndicate, who knows. |

The "He can protect" foreshadowing was strong, but the director really outdid himself with IG-11's role in this episode. When he spun around to protect BY and then flipped his arms over to keep shooting was absolutely the best part!

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Also, some things didn’t make sense. One minutes, there are tons of storm troopers. The next minute a “flame trooper?” shows up, acting like some kind of badass, and goes in solo? Our Jedi were some wickedly fun folk for the most part. The most common joke was they would flip the safeties on all the bad guys weapons while the monologing was happening. Or more to the point, if you can move things with your mind, how is that an advantage in any given scenario. The wife and I both played (not yet married). When the flamer showed up I said "fitting" and she said "hose"...the point being the weakness of the flamer was he had a blowtorch and a bomb. A jedi would find a way to exploit that. Like Ben, our Jedi barely ever ignited their sabers. That only happened at the end of a long line of failed trickery. Dang. I miss you TJK...you would have loved this show. |

They must be better shots with the blasters mounted on their speeder bikes, since they just presumably used them to murder the ugnaught.
