I'm hoping they edit the 4 episodes of the Siege of Mandalore arc as a full length movie.

But it wouldnt have the emotionL weight to people unless they have watxhed episodes of TCW to csre for the characters. If I showed it to my X-Wing and Satar wars fan friends they would not know how Maul survived (probably think him being in control of Mandalore was unrealistic), dont know about Obi and Satine, haven't learnt about Rex and Fives, dont know who Ahsoka is!

I really wish Lucas/Disney picked out the best arcs and reaquired episodes from TCW (re-ordered them to tell a cohesive story) and made a TCW essential collection for easier viewing for adults/fans who dont have time for trash episodes/arcs.

I really enjoyed watching TCW, Rebels, and Resistance, but not everyone has the time or patience.

Also the Ahsoka Spice smuggling arc was enjoyable tow atxh but woudk certainly not make my Essentials list, i think the bad batch would though.

Nah not really. Not sure what it'd explain though.

Why I have so many loving friends?
Why I have an incredible girlfriend?
Why I love myself finally, after 26 years of self hate?
Why I've found where I'm supposed to be and what I'm doing?

They asked why you are patronizing, not your life-long pity party. 🙄

Here's the thing though, nobody asked for a complete history.

There are still interesting stories to tell. ****, Fallen Order just demonstrated that. There's plenty to fill in across all the eras of Star Wars still that can be interesting and relevant. Implying that any of the stories we've seen so far sufficiently cover the time period and all entertainment value from it is just silly. While I like new characters and fresh ideas, plenty of people including me feel invested in these characters and their arc. To say that Rebels answers the questions that drove @Sciencius to bring up the idea, in the manner that you did, is intentionally antagonistic.

Weird, only jerks say that. Anyway I'm doing great these days so what's your aim?

What if we did something that wasn't about the Rebellion, Empire, Jedi or Sith? It's a concept I know was far too much for Disney.

To show that you brought your claimed victomhood to the table when it wasn't relevant to the question that was asked of you, especially since you initiated it by being condescending and antagonizing about it in the first place. 😑

Can't you just act mature for once and take appropriate criticism rather than be defensive and act like a child all the time for no reason? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Good question, I guess it depends on how much internet tomfoolery I got the patience to put up with that day. Maybe it's not good to wear my entire self on my sleeve but hey, that's just me. You know I promise I'm really not as much of a crasshole as I might sometimes seem on here, I'm just really gods awful at conveying that fact on forum-form.

The Final Shot of The Clone Wars

Well. There it is.

The Clone Wars is over.

There is no more story left to tell of The Clone Wars. Sure, you could recount the battles of the individual Jedi that weren't covered or, something. But there's no real reason to.

The story of The Clone Wars, that began in May 16th of 2002 with the release of Episode II: Attack of The Clones, has ended today on May 4th, 2020. I could have said something about the Clone Wars film or counted the original TV series (Which was finally hinted at to be canon in SOME regard!), or the one that came after it.

But we all knew it began then, almost Eighteen years to the day. Fun fact, that's about how much time is between Episodes III and IV. Funny that eh?

When I saw Episode II in theaters I was but a wild eyed young boy enjoying the spectacle, anything about Jango Fett and the birth of The Empire that I was such a huge fan of.

I see the end of it now as a grown woman, almost sad to see it go, and at a time where when it comes to Star Wars I am honestly somewhat jaded.

The only story yet unfinished in my book is that of The Mandalorian, and maybe perhaps, someday Ezra and Thrawn. But all other threads have been tied up. Though we will see Ahsoka again before this year is out.

A lot has changed since the beginning of all this, hasn't it?

That 4 part arc was peak Star Wars.

Serious applause.

You not watch the Mandalorian? It is not about the aforementioned concepts. It does contain some of those elements, but it's not about that. I think the synopsis explains this accurately and clearly.

Synopsis . After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. The series depicts a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.

You really don't actually think the chick who started the Rebels and Resistance threads hasn't watched this right?

Just give it time, it'll be about it soon enough, I'm sure. Couldn't help themselves in SOLO, couldn't help themselves in Rogue One, and they couldn't help themselves in the finale of The Mandalorian.

Haha I actually do agree with you here 100%. Ahsoka will be in season 2, I'm sure lil Baby Yoda's powers will be explained more and of course that will be tied to the Jedi and Sith. It'll get there.... but hey, we can at least enjoy nearly a full season of something different.

Finished the series. The final 4 part arc was absolutely worth it.

Also, rewatched Ep3 last night - that whole film takes on a different feel in the context of clone wars - some of it makes little sense now, like the barbs between Greivous and Anakin, but man it adds a new level to the entire Order 66 sequence.

I'll give you that.

So, watched the end of Clone Wars. The last arc was great, but the season was disappointing overall. I though for sure that those half-finished episodes they had and arcs originally planned would be finished. But nope, 3 new arcs, but that 2nd one was real pointless.

I REALLY wanted to see that Cad Bane vs. Boba Fett fight...

I gotta say, now that it's over, I'm kinda hoping we get a sequel series set more around the time of Solo. But centered around scoundrels. Like during the upcoming few years, you have Maul as this huge crime boss, Hondo as a pirate king, Cade Bane is the #1 Bounty Hunter in the galaxy. And a few years later, in Rebels, Maul and Hondo are washed up has-beens, and Boba Fett is the #1 Bounty Hunter. I'd like to see a series that shows all of that happening. Give me more Qi'ra from Solo.

TBH, the Obi-Wan/Maul duel in Rebels is better still.

Im not going to argue with you on that one, obi-wan v maul in rebels is epic. definetly better dramaticaly but from a pure action point of view I'd have to give it to maul v tano.

I was astonished by the last arc strory from Clone Wars. The Siege of Mandalore was really a masterpiece. But it misses a few things at the end that they should have included in a 45-minute episode conclusion, as they did with Rebels:

- The Saxon taking control over Bo-Katan at Mandalore after the Order 66, to get in line with Rebels
- A true goodbye
- A glimpse of Ahsoka about how she joined the Rebellion
- Gregor and Wolffe, who also had their chips removed (from Rebels)
- Obi-Wan (at least, seeing the warning that he programmed in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant)

Disagree.

The first 2 episodes dealt with Mandalore pretty well whilst frequently lining up the arc with the Revenge of the Sith timeline.

That left the final 2 episodes to focus very tightly on Ahsoka, Rex and Maul.

All characters people deeply care about.

Moving away to deal with minor characters like Wolffe, Gregor and Saxon would dilute that tight focus. And you saw that Saxon was a leader+warrior anyway. 16 years later in Rebels, he is in charge. Cool.

Finally, that ending was a fantastic goodbye imo. Really cinematic stuff.

Agreed. I like both, but they serve different purposes.

I agree that the arc was fantastic.

Since they took the time to add Dryden Vos, Ursa Wren and young Kanan, I just thought that they would go as deep for the ending.

The Ahsoka novel covers this pretty well.

The only issue I had with the finale is that Filoni's killing of the Rookiees came back to bite him here. A stand off between Rex and Jesse is whatever. If that had been Fives or Echo, much more powerful.
