Star Wars Month 2 - The Clone Wars Season 7 Arc 3 - The End

It’s Star Wars Month 2

OK, it's a few days late, sorry about that... anyway

And so far I’ve been pretty harsh on both the stories the Clone Wars incorporated into its seventh season, but in truth both of these episodes provide an important piece in the setup for the big finale. The Bad Batch arc had a heavy focus on Rex, his determination and loyalty coupled with his survivor’s guilt this late in the game.

Naturally the other piece is Ahsoka, who needed an arc to transition her from leaving the Jedi order to her place in this arc. It probably should have played out a little slower, across multiple arcs but they have 12 episodes so we’ll take what we can get. It really had to be these two that the focus was put upon, of the main cast of the Clone Wars we know how Anakin and Obi-Wan end up, along with most of the Jedi Order, and we know how most of the clones end up. The big bads like Grievous and Dooku are dealt with in the films, which is why they don’t appear in this season beyond a quick cameo.

As for Darth Siddeous with Ian Abercrombie no longer with us and Tim Curry… I think retired from voice acting, bringing him back beyond a cameo would be unnecessary. Indeed, they just use archived footage of Ian McDiarmid. Not that he would’ve been beyond getting to return since he voiced Palpetine not only for his incredibly forced appearance in Rise of Skywalker but also for season 4 of Rebels.

I think we’re getting off-topic. Basically, each of the main characters of this finale have had an episode to re-establish themselves and now it’s time for the big showdown.
