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.
This was the comment I was looking/hoping for after just having watched the final 4 episodes having not grown up with the show at all or really the prequels. I still didn’t have the true emotional reaction fans will in terms of characters like Rex and Ahsoka, but I followed along just fine. I’ve also learned to love Revenge of the Sith enough to respect it and the prequel era as it was interpreted. Truly must be validating for prequel fans to see such specific references given that really make the finale a RotS companion piece and for it to be so respected in that way. In a way the quality of the finale and its link to those events are really inviting fans to revisit now with a new perspective which was exactly what Filoni had in mind.
