 I just finished Star Wars Clone Wars season 7. The final episode. I am so happy that this show finally has a proper ending to it. Sorry, it is 2 in the morning. I am extremely tired and delirious because, you know, it's 2 in the morning. But, you know, anyway, I just watched the final episode of Star Wars Clone Wars. So, here's the thing. I guess it premiered at midnight. I'm not exactly sure. All I know is it was going to premiere today, which is May the 4th, in fact. And I went online to see if it was up. And it was. So I watched it. At 2 in the morning. Yeah, my sleep schedule is completely fine. But anyway, that is beside the point. What I am here to talk about is the final season of Star Wars the Clone Wars. Which, I can say, is pretty middle ground season. Overall, season is pretty decent. With it originally supposed... So, season 7 was originally supposed to consist of the final 3 arcs to season 6. At least, that's to my knowledge. Because, when they made season 6, they only got the 12 episodes out. But so, the 3 arcs that we got for season 7 were the Bad Batch arc, what I'm going to call Ahsoka's personal arc, and then the final arc. The Bad Batch arc follows Rex as he realizes that plans to separate us are using, or ones that him and Echo came up with. Which, a lot of characters are like, hey, that's just coincidence because Echo's dead. And he's like, yeah, I know, but I can't shake this feeling that he's not. And so, they go to like... So, he basically commits Anakin to help him figure out what the heck is going on. And they end up getting help from the Clone Group, known as the Bad Batch. A group of clones that have been genetically modified to basically work in specific ways. You have the leader Hunter who, his modification is basically, he's able to genetically basically go into a computer room and just sense the energy and be able to accurately pull up a battle map in his head. Which is 100% accurate at all times, better than a hologram. Which, if this works, why do you not give this ability to every clone? That makes no sense to me, just give it to all of them. And you've also got the sharpshooter whose name I can't remember. Tech and Wrecker. Wrecker is basically the big dumb idiot. Tech is like the smartest one. He basically has glasses in his face, but he's so freaking intelligent that he was able to pull up a translation for an alien species that none of them had ever met, and like, speak it to them. The first time he tried it. Which is great. That whole arc goes how you expect. They end up saving Echo, and then Echo chooses to join the Bad Batch, which officially makes the Bad Batch my personal favorite trope of all time, the Five Man Band. Yes, it is the greatest thing! Woohoo! I am sorry. The Five Man Band is like my favorite trope, I think, just because I ended up watching a number of shows with the Five Man Band trope when I was a kid. Uyo is a perfect example of it. The Power Rangers are a great example of Five Man Band, Teenage Mutant Ninja Shirtles. So like, I guess because I just watched a ton of shows with that trope in it, like using that structure that it just became like my favorite trope of all time. Sorry, got a little sidetracked there. That is not what I am, that is not the important bit, that is not what I'm talking to you about. Second arc of the final season basically follows Ahsoka as she meets these two sisters who live on the lower levels of Coruscant. And their entire thing is that they are just trying to get by. They are trying to make them enough money to get out of the rat hole that they find themselves in so that they can pretty much, you know, survive and make it on their own. As it turns out, they are orphaned because of their parents died towards the beginning of the war because of Zero. That arc, the final like, the final two episodes of the first season of Clone Wars when you meet basically, when Zero is getting freed from prison and all that, when they ended up accidentally crashing one of the Star Cruisers into one of the hyperspace lanes, apparently these two sisters, their parents lived outside, like right on the other side, the family lived right outside the hyperspace lane and it crashed directly into it, killing the parents and the sisters managed to get out. So they don't like the Jedi. So the entire arc is really, really cool because like it's going through and it's like Ahsoka basically having to hide the fact that she's a Jedi because she's actually ashamed of it, she doesn't want to reveal it to these people that she actually likes a little bit. And at this point, remember, she has left the order so like she doesn't consider herself a Jedi anymore. And so like her basically, I don't know, it was really amazing for like her to go and like interact with people who dislike the Jedi just because of like what happened to them. It was really awesome. But then the final arc, it's probably, no, not even probably, it is the best arc of the entire series, hands down full stop. I am not going to, no, you cannot argue this with me. It is the best arc. It is the greatest one. Oh my God, it literally shows the final movie from Ahsoka's perspective. It is one of the best things ever to happen. It is amazing and I love it and it is great. It will never not be awesome. Okay, so explaining what happened. Basically what ended up occurring is at the end of Ahsoka's like four episode journey with the Spice Running sisters. She ends up running into Satine's sister, the Death Watch, one of the Previzal's Death Watch members who hates Maul for killing Previzal and her sister and like taking over Mandalore because of it. So she basically is like, hey Jedi, so Maul is on this planet. Help us capture him and you can have him. And they're like, cool, that's a great idea. And Anakin and Obi-Wan get the call. It's like, hey, so the Chancellor has been taken by Grievous. We need you guys here to help us. And they're like, shit, we're going to have to do that. Hey, and Anakin's like, hey, I have an idea. Let's give a Detachment of Clones to Ahsoka and she can go to Mandalore and help them. And Obi-Wan's like, hmm, but she's not a part of the enemy. He's like, fine, we'll make Rex commander and then give him the command and she can tag along as a consultant. He's like, that'll work. So they go to Mandalore, they capture Maul and then Order 66 is given as they're on their way to Coruscant. And so the final two episodes are Ahsoka fighting away off the ship with Rex because they don't want to kill anyone. And it's amazing. Oh my God. I love it so much. Sorry. I'm not biased towards this season at all. What they do with the final four episodes is the way that they're presented comes off as its own movie as opposed to an arc of a show. Does that make sense? The way that it gets presented is Ahsoka's perspective. But each episode ends on like a cliffhanger that will keep you hooked for next episode. But the thing is, none of the episodes start the way that every other episode of Clone Wars started. They don't start with it quick. Here's the setup to get you in. They go right into the story and they end and it leads perfectly into the next one. Like you could have released these four episodes as its own singular movie and I would have loved it. Like it works so well. Like this is the Clone Wars movie that we should have got instead of the Clone Wars movie. That being 2008 movie Clone Wars that predated Clone Wars as a show. It's basically the first episode and it's not that good. It's pretty much leads to the worst arc of the show. I am not a fan of Zero. I am however a fan of the bounty hunter that frees him whose name I cannot remember. But I'll get into that later at some point. Anyway, the final four episodes make up for every misstep that the season had up to this point. It's so good. The biggest misstep in this season was when Ahsoka was with the sisters. They aren't bad characters by any means. They're really really good. They're actually really great characters. It's that it felt like they were trying to force character development onto Ahsoka rather than letting her like naturally evolve almost. I don't know. It's slightly hard to explain because some of her actions felt forced despite that that was kind of me. But the way she acts in these final four episodes are so perfect for her character. She refuses to kill men that are actively trying to kill her because she has fought with them and she believes them to be good soldiers. She like straight up refuses to let herself kill them. She refuses to let Rex kill them. She refuses to surrender to them because it could get pretty much everyone killed. It's a great moment. It was perfect for her character. The way the season ends, I'm not going to spoil the way the season ends for the very final shot of the season. It is perfectly brilliant. There's like almost no dialogue in it. It is one of the greatest mirror shots I have ever seen and I loved it so much. It was the perfect way to wrap up the show in my opinion. And as you can tell, I'm a massive Star Wars fan and Clone Wars is one of my favorite cartoons from when I was a child. Meaning I have zero biases about this at all whatsoever. I am totally making this clear-minded too. No, but really. Okay, my personal bias towards Clone Wars aside, I was probably going to like whatever final bits they came up with. But seeing Order 66 being given from another perspective, from the perspective of someone who is like, holy shit but doesn't want to kill anyone, I loved it. I loved seeing it from a Soak's perspective. And it just added so much to her character. It felt like she actually was her. She didn't feel too different from how she was. I know that doesn't make a ton of sense, but I don't want to get into too much spoilers. If you guys haven't seen it, I plan on doing a full and proper review for the final four episodes of Clone Wars. Eventually, just they're so good. I have to say that overall the final season of Clone Wars is the best season that we've gotten so far. If only for the final four episodes. As much as I love the Bad Batch arc, unfortunately they're not in it enough to truly be amazing characters that everyone is going to remember. I will remember the Bad Batch for the rest of time because again, trope of the 5-man band that is my favorite thing, but I understand if people don't remember them. I can understand people disliking the Spice Running arc a little bit because that doesn't do a ton, but I enjoy it overall and it gave personal growth to Ahsoka overall which I personally love. And then the final four episodes with Siege of Mandalore and seeing Order 66 given out and done by the clones from Ahsoka's perspective that affected her, I thought was a perfect way to end the show and it was so, so much fun to watch overall. For me, with everything in consideration, the final season of Clone Wars rolls a 19. Not perfect, but so fucking enjoyable especially with the final arc of the show that I'm going to keep going back to it. Even if I don't go back to the rest of the show which I will eventually do, it's one of my favorites, I love it so much. But the final four, with everything is just, I thought it was amazing and if you haven't seen it for whatever reason and you're a fan of Star Wars, go watch it now. It is well, well, well worth your time. Yeah, that's all that I have for you now guys. If you enjoyed the video please, you know, like, comment, all that jazz.
