I liked them alright, but it just seemed sorta out of place as the conclusion to the series.
Well, it was never supposed to be the conclusion of the series. Season 6 was planned out as a typical ~20+ episode season. And a season 7 was expected after that. Filoni's (producer) stated intent was to take the Clone Wars right up to the moment before Episode III started. It's just that the Disney acquisition of LucasFilm happened when they only had Season 6 half complete, and they put the kibosh on all existing projects. We *almost* didn't even get these episodes, but Netflix's apparent interest was sufficient to get final production work done on these - to get them polished up enough for release, and...that's that.
