Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Season 7)

⭐ 7.5/10

(Originally written by Tim)

It took me forever to finish this series, but I finally did it. A big part of the delay is that this season is so boring! It's only 12 episodes, the first 4 are basically a pilot fo The Bad Batch show that just came out, and the next 4 are Ahsoka going on her own adventures on the run. If this season was just those episodes, this is a 5/10. But whoa nellie those final 4 episodes...

The final four play out like a movie, and finally overlap with the events of Episodes 2 and 3. It feels like the whole series has been building towards this, and I was fascinated by the complete shift in tone, almost like the first 8 were made years ago and the final 4 were made recently as a standalone thing. We get to witness the fall of the Republic from the eyes of Ahsoka, who at this point in the series might as well be the main character.

It is hard to imagine given how important she is that Anakin or Kenobi never mention her in the movies, but these episodes are valuable in that we get to see her reaction to Anakin's fall, and her heartbreak as the clones, who are all her friends, betray her. Some really emotional moments with the full on Star Wars music. Much like the Fallen Order video game, Order 66 is such a key moment in the series that seeing it from other angles will never get old.

As a whole, I enjoyed this show, but I could have used a condensed version, with pivotal Ahsoka/Anakin/Kenobi episodes only. Still, I am glad to have watched the whole thing, since Star Wars is awesome and its great to get more gaps filled in. On to Rebels!
