Summary from Star Wars Wiki:
My review:
After several other attacks on Jedi fleet cruisers, all of which conducted by the Malevolence, Anakin Skywalker decides it is time to strike back. His plan is to use the new Y-Wing bombers to destroy the Separatist flagship's bridge, killing General Grievous and destroying the ship. However, both Plo Koon and Ahsoka think that his plan is too aggressive. Meanwhile, the Malevolence destroys another supply convoy, somewhere in the Outer Rim. After finishing off the final ships, Dooku contacts General Grievous and gives him a new target: the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center.
Admiral Yularen contacts the Kaminoan physician Nala Se on the Medical Center, warning her of a possible attack. However, she does not believe that they will have enough time to evacuate all of her 60,000 wounded patients.
Anakin and Ahsoka leave their Venator-class Star Destroyer with their squadron of Y-wing bombers, along with the Kel Dor Jedi Master Plo Koon serving as a fighter escort in his modified Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor. After a hyperspace jump, Anakin's Shadow Squadron of Clone trooper pilots reach the Kaliida Nebula. While traveling through it, Master Plo is horrified to learn that they are taking the Balmorra Run.
Before they can turn around, though, they fly into a nest of Neebrays. Shadow Squadron is able to navigate through it, although Matchstick's ship sustains damage to one of its engine. Just as they reach the Kaliida Medical Center, the Malevolence comes out of hyperspace. After it fires its ion cannon at Shadow Squadron, Anakin loses almost half of his Y-Wings to its disabling blast and is forced to make a new plan of attack. The Malevolence then prepares to target the medical center.
As its mega-ion cannon charges, Shadow Squadron opens fire on it, causing the ion cannon to overload when General Grievous tries to unleash it once more on the Republic ships. The blast also damages the ship's hyperdrive, preventing it from escaping into hyperspace. With newly arrived Republic capital ships led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Admiral Yularen firing on him, Grievous orders the wounded flagship back to Separatist-held space. Anakin and the rest of Shadow Squadron then board the medical station, where they are congratulated by Nala Se. Anakin, however, mourns the losses of his men among Shadow Squadron, despite the great victory their lives had earned.

Shadow of Malevolence
Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by themselves.Moral "Shadow of Malevolence" is the third episode of Season One of Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. It is the third episode of the series overall, and is the second of a three-part storyline. It aired on Cartoon Network...
My review:
I didn't realize that there was a second part to the malevolence episode otherwise I would have done both at the same time. It's a good continuation to the previous episode, but I do think that it is a bit cheesy how they won so quickly. It's a typical happy ending movie trope, but for a younger audience I could understand it being that way. You've got to pretend life is great to them, sad endings can come later.
Anakin's overconfidence bothered me right from the start. You know you're being unreasonable when Ahsoka is against the plan despite being incredibly reckless herself at times, although she seems to have calmed down a bit since the beginning so it may not be as true anymore. I was confused at why he didn't know about the problems with the nebula. Likewise, why didn't Master Plo know which nebula it was? Both seemed to be missing information that you'd expect them to know given the circumstances? But it's not impossible I suppose, just questionable.
This episode partially answered one of my questions I had in the previous episode about how the ion cannon works. It doesn't make me understand it much better since in this episode they managed for the most part to maneuver out of the way of the cannon, which brings up the question of why they didn't do that previously in the last episode, other than to add drama of course.
As was the case in the previous episode there was less action, which is understandable for this type of episode. I can't really complain about it to be honest since it is about a spaceship fight. I expect that later there will probably be more of the typical fighting so I suppose it's nice to have some variety.
At least by the end he realized that he was being stupid. Sad that it took that long but better late then never I suppose. He also seemed to understand his overconfidence and it's effects when he talked about being unable to forget about the losses. Hopefully this experience will teach him, I suppose we'll see in the future if that's happening or not. I hope it does because overconfident Anakin is annoying to say the least.
Overall I liked it, I would recommend it for the same reasons as my previous review. It's not overly complex, but it makes a good nice short watch. I do hope that later on there will be more drawn out episodes, or maybe multiple episode stories that are more complex than these two were. 4/5
