"The path of ignorance is guided by fear."

- Moral

"The General" is the eighth episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' fourth season. It aired on November 4, 2011.

Official description
"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."

Cast

 * Dee Bradley Baker as the clone troopers
 * Dave Fennoy as Pong Krell
 * James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi
 * Tom Kane as the narrator

Behind the scenes
Like in "Darkness on Umbara," when General Krell scolds Captain Rex, he refers to him at "CT-7567," even though Rex is a captain and holds the designation CC-7567.

Appo appears as a Sergeant and not his established rank of Commander.

Toward the end of the episode, there is a shot where General Krell does not have his beard and his chin has been shaven, then, seconds later, his beard is back.This is most likely a production error.
