Star Wars: The Clone Wars To Return With New Episodes — Page 7

Indeed! The thought crossed my mind while watching the episode that somebody who worked on this arc probably watched alot of Blade Runner. Which an intentional nod to Blade Runner and Vangelis or not, it was neat nonetheless.

It seems like Kiner scored each “act” differently. There’s definitely a Vangelis vibe to the first part, and then Williams kicks back in for Order 66, and then it sort of becomes the Tron: Legacy soundtrack for the next act.

It’s also, looking at what happened in this episode, seeming like Filoni rewrote this final arc as kind of a riff on the Disney Era movies. Episode 1 had a LOT of The Last Jedi in it, and this one is very clearly pulling from Rogue One.

God, can you guys just imagine if the show hadn’t been cancelled and we’d have seen these episodes pre-Rebels, with no idea if Ahsoka or Rex make it through alive?

It was intense enough knowing they make it, but if we didn’t? Wow.

Watching the last 4 episodes together was absolutely incredible. Best Star Wars experience I’ve had in a long time.

I had to laugh that the one scene where they made a direct ROTS scene connection (the holographic briefing) was one of the scenes that both Hal and I replaced with an earlier deleted scene. So any attempt to use our edits in a broader multi-edit would probably require cutting the initial duplicate ROTS lines and starting right as Ahsoka walks in.

I was thinking the same thing when I was watching. I couldn’t believe how much tension I felt, despite knowing they would survive.

Overall, I really enjoyed the whole season, especially the last four episodes. IMO, the siege of mandalore/order 66 arc was the best Star Wars content since 1983!

I may have been the only one that had this thought, but when Ahsoka and Rex were contemplating what to when all the troops were standing down in the hangar, I thought things were going to go in a lot different direction.

For a brief moment, I thought they would have the droids deactivate the hangar shields and suck all the clones out into space.

That would’ve been super dark, and probably out of character, but I thought Ahsoka was going to give herself up because she wasn’t willing to kill her clones. Rex, having to choose between Ahsoka’s life or his brothers‘, chooses Ahsoka and orders the droids to deactivate the hangar shields. Ahsoka tries to protest but it’s too late.

This was truly a special Star Wars experience for me. I’m part of the clone wars generation of star wars fans. I saw the original animated film in theaters on my 8th birthday. That was my first star wars film on the big-screen. I’m so incredibly proud of this show. It was utterly spectacular. This series has done the prequel films so much justice I cannot even explain. I showed my brother the entire series this month and we finished it off by marathoning the last 4 episodes. The loveable characters become so deep and grow so much throughout the show, and to see the finale was something truly unprecendented. I couldn’t believe the depth of storytelling, the amazing sense of dread, and how much it all felt like a film. Thank you George, and thank you Dave Filoni.

After all the years of people loathing the prequels, this show solidifies for me that those stories deserve respect. This is timeless, and required viewing for any star wars fan.

[SPOILER] My favorite moment was when Rex is given Order 66. He is shaking and crying, trying to resist killing his best friend, until he is ultimately overcome by the chip. My interpretation of that scene was that “Fives” was somehow connecting with him through the force, saving both him and Ahsoka. It was so beautiful.

I just realized that the timeline doesn’t exactly jive with ROTS. I always assumed ROTS took place over the span of several months. The last few episodes show anakin and obi-wan called to rescue Palpatine right before the siege of mandalore. That would suggest that ROTS only takes place over a couple days.

I’ve thought about that too. But it actually does work out. If you think about it, the timelines only have to match until Order 66.

The comment below this explains everything in detail.

So padme is supposed to already be 8-9 months pregnant when we first see her in ROTS?

It’s scary knowing how happy Anakin and Obi-Wan are at Yerbana… to think where they’ll be in a week.

Using the audience’s knowledge of Revenge of the Sith as a sort of ticking clock for this story was so incredibly genius. Filoni in general is an amazing storyteller. I’m about to rewatch rebels, that show gets a bad rep, but if you look deeper into what they were trying to do with the story, its phenomenal.

Yes and I believe this has always been the case.

A few years ago Pablo Hidalgo ran a poll on Twitter asking people whether they thought Sith took place over days or months. The vote was split 50/50. The correct answer is days. He said it was the only movie where Lucas was ever super specific about the timeline of events.
