Episode 11 : The suspense from when Ahsoka leaves Bo-Katan (which helps solidify their link in the Mandalorian), to the Order 66 scene, is unbearable. Hitchcock once said that the most horrific thing is us as the audience, know that there is a bomb about to go off, when our protagonists don't. And this is the case here, as Ahsoka boards that cruiser with hundreds of clones about to be turned on her, including our beloved Rex. He held off as best he could, and Fives sacrifice at least counted for something, as Ahsoka wouldn't be alive if not for him. Episode 12 : A lifeless clone looks onto eternity as THE great hero of the Clone Wars, now represents the tyranny and evil, the clones were forced to implement. I also love Ahsoka staring into the middle distance at the clones, and wondering what the war was all about for her. We first see her as an enthusiastic cocky kid, sure of her abilities, and gets paired up with the most talented Knight in the Order, and sees over the course of the early war, that she has much to learn and failure to overcome. During it, she learns responsibility, what it truly means to be a Jedi as well as a soldier who gains the respect of her men in the 501st. Then she begins to see everything is not as black and white as she thought, as she sees first hand that the politics and corruption of the Republic isn't what she imagined when she was assigned to Anakin. Then she gets abandoned by the very Order she held sacred and has to become a sort of outlaw, finding her way in the universe and rediscovering a purpose. And finally, when she gets back in the fight, her friends and soldiers turn against her and she barely gets out, then has to fake her death and find a new life once more. The Clone Wars was her coming of age, and what a story it was. I'm glad you embarked on this journey Sesska after seeing Ahsoka in Mando, and now you are beginning to see just why she is so beloved, because her journey is one of the most emotional in the entire franchise. Anyway, glad you loved the show, it is truly great Star Wars, and though Rebels is a completely different show in feel and scope, I think you'll have fun and tears with that too. Look forward to seeing more of your reactions to that if you do choose to watch it with us.

By the time this story was released, we already knew that Rex would somehow stay with the Rebels somehow as Lucasfilm had confirmed a fan theory that a Rebel soldier in one scene from Return of the Jedi who looks like an old, grey-bearded clone was actually him. So your actually getting to see unspoiled that we don't actually have to deal with an evil Rex for long and he's put back on the right side (which at the same time eases some of the bad taste of Fives' death not having any meaning) is beautiful.

You will see a lot more Rex to come, don't worry on that Sesska! I agree with you that you should make a decision after Tales Of The Jedi and Obi-Wan whether to pursue the other animations on camera. As a huge fan of Rebels in particular (its my favourite Star Wars show), I'd love to see how you'll get on with the series (and I have to also say its a bit more for the younger audience too to begin with if you are also concerned about that), but if you are worried about views and reception to the show and committing to it without much reward; then don't feel the need just to watch it for a few of us who love it (and Bad Batch for that matter). The majority of the fandom thinks Clone Wars is the premier animation of Star Wars, and thats fine, but also there are many who then dislike or will state that Rebels and Bad Batch are inferior, may be vocal about their views, and there probably won't be so many viewers watching as TCW got - and even then as you say, some episodes and arcs didn't do well. If you do want to watch them on camera without bothering with the editing, many of us will enjoy that also if you wanted to make them more Patreon exclusives except for the more standout episodes. Of course that might not be possible for you, or you may feel you wouldn't want to exclude some by doing that. Anyway plenty to think on, and we'll support you either way in whatever you decide. Take a break, watch Tales Of The Jedi then Kenobi, and see what you decide afterwards! :)

Wow, what a journey it's been for the past almost 2 years watching the reactions. Beautiful, heartbreaking, and reminding me why I love this show so much. This has been amazing Jess, regardless of what you chose to react to next, I just want to thank you for letting us share in this because it has been truly incredible!

Addressing your show of hands question, yeah, rewatching this, I said, “Yup, I am ready to get hurt again. Tis the season. Let’s do it.” Yes, as you say, I am with you in spirit, sharing the tears with you, Jess. Wise decision to abandon the coffee when you did. These episodes, I go through all the emotions. It is powerful seeing the council scene from Revenge of the Sith, and how it tells us how close we are to the end. It’s also sad in that, unless there is something I'm not aware of, this is the final time we will ever hear Tom Kane as Yoda. Kevin Kiner’s score throughout these last two episodes is haunting. I love that you loved the scene of Rex and Ahsoka that ends with their salute. When Ahsoka senses the duel in the Chancellor’s office, and with it, audio from Sith, that raised my blood pressure, especially hearing Anakin, and going, “That’s Hayden!” And of course, there’s the most potent shot of adrenaline and wave of euphoria that comes from hearing Ian McDiarmid bellowing at the top of his lungs, “UN-LI-MI-TED POWAAAHHH!!!!!!” Seriously, I could hear that a million trillion times and it will never get old, just like the younglings. I love too hearing Matt Lanter’s line delivery of Anakin’s line “What have I done?!” Beyond heartbreaking seeing Rex receive the order. The shot of him dropping the helmet is chilling. As is the shot of him crying as he tries to resist whilst warning Ahsoka by telling her to find Fives. Then the adrenaline shoots back up when they’re firing at Ahsoka with the reprise of Anakin’s Dark Deeds, which led to flailing galore on my part. Yeah, I too face a very difficult feeling of being torn in that on the one hand, I am horrified seeing the clones being slaughtered as they are. Yet, on the other hand, I LIVE to see Darth Maul being an absolute beast, and without his lightsaber. The most heartwarming moment of your reaction to the first episode was you going through the emotions of discovering that Ahsoka was going to save Rex. It was truly beautiful seeing your relief that Rex survived the events of these episodes. To address your question about a Rex show, Temuera Morrison is on your side on that as he’s stated that he’d be willing to do such a thing for free. It is tragic how Ahsoka and Rex are left with the impossible task of fighting hard to save the clones yet knowing that they don’t have any option but to let them die in the end. I knew you’d be saddened about what happened to the droids. A striking shot of the helmets of the clones after they’ve been buried. Then there is the final scene. I remember I had a continous thought of, “Wait. That's an Imperial shuttle. Those are snowtroopers. Those are Imperial probe droids. Wh...” Then I heard the breathing. My heart stopped. Yes, as you observed, the scene is made all the more powerful by the lack of dialogue. The beauty and the symbolism of the last shot is pure brilliance. Darth Vader, right hand of the Emperor. Mascot of the first Galactic Empire. Reflected in the helmet of a clone trooper of the Republic. A forgotten relic of a bygone era, lost in time, like tears in the rain. And when I first saw it, there was a line from Knights of the Old Republic that went through my head clear as a bell. And the line is, “And so, it ends, as I somehow always knew it must: In darkness.” And now, we have reached the end of our journey through The Clone Wars. And I would just like to say, Jess, that it has been an amazing time sharing this show with you over these past two years. It truly has meant more than I can properly express. It warmed the heart to hear your comments of thanks for the Star Wars fandom being so kind and appreciative of you and your Star Wars reactions. I look forward to your reactions to Tales of the Jedi and Obi-Wan. And I do sincerely hope that you enjoy the other animated Star Wars shows, regardless of how you go about viewing them. If you film yourself watching Rebels and Bad Batch, I will very much enjoy sharing your journeys through them, and I will be watching the reactions with great interest. And if you decide to simply watch these shows off-camera, I will accept your decision. In any case, it has truly been a tremendous privilege sharing the prequel trilogy and The Clone Wars with you. Thank you so, so very much for this wondrous journey, Jess.

Excellent comparison to Hitchcock. The growth that Ahsoka goes through is truly exceptional.

I find the animated shows are like the live-action ones in that I can’t settle on a favorite because I love each of them in their own way. Rebels is something very special though, I will say that.

Jenny Chalek

Thank you for reacting to all of the Clone Wars! I know it will depend on interest, but I hope you are able to get enough views to react to Rebels, because it is really good, and furthers the story of many characters we've come to know and love (or hate). I remember how emotionally scarring it was the first time I saw all of those Clone Troopers, painted as Ahsoka, trying to kill Ahsoka. And yet she didn't kill them to save herself (which she definitely had the power to do). The scene where she is just standing there in her robes looking at all the helmets stood up on the blasters is a devastating way to end the series.

There is a lot of visual storytelling in this, and in fact a lot of newer Star Wars material like Andor and Tales Of The Jedi especially. This does it beautifully too with the last sequence, where not a word is said for many minutes and we can feel the weight of what happened hit Ahsoka and Rex as she steps on board the Y-Wing, then her standing in front of the dead clones that they went through the Venator to bury, because thats what they all deserved, then Ahsoka's thoughts as she drops her lightsabre, and finally when Vader visits the crash site to pick up her sabre and look at Morai above, and wondering what thoughts are running through his head, before walking off and we end on the visual of the cracked and weathered clone helmet, telling us how much they were used and discarded, to bring about the rise of the Empire. Even earlier in the Shattered episode, after Ahsoka and Rex salute each other and Rex gets the call from whom we all know and fear, that he deliberately steps out of the light and into the darkness, as Order 66 takes him over. Masterful. On Ahsoka's growth as well, I think a lot of us take it for granted now considering how much of a boss we know she has been for years; yet seeing and hearing Sesska's thoughts on her journey, since it is fresh to her, is very enlightening and she is beginning to see why many thought this journey would be worthwhile for her to watch, to get to know how much of a legend Ahsoka (and Rex) are across the fanbase.

I can say that Resistance is hands-down the worst, but then again very young kids may love it. I won't go into it too much personally until Jess makes her decision, but though Rebels doesn't hit the highest highs of some of the Clone Wars episodes (ARC Troopers, Landing At Point Rain, Umbara, The Lawless and here with Old Friends Not Forgotten), its consistently excellent and has a more cohesive thread of a story running through it. I still think a lot in the fanbase haven't forgiven it since it was supposed to have been the show that cancelled Clone Wars (when that was wrong), has a perceived dip in animation quality (though I personally prefer it to TCW visuals) due to the budget being halved, and it being for a much broader range of ages. If people can get past that, they can see it for the mini-masterpiece of a series it truly is. Bad Batch also had a solid first season, but its too early to make a call on comparing that to TCW and Rebels, even with the second series about to start next week.

Ok, I should clarify that I have yet to see any of Resistance, nor have I heard too much in the way of opinions about it. That might be a good thing if I ever do see it as I'm free to form my own conclusions about it. I will say that the only real comments that I've heard about Resistance is that it is much more geared towards younger kids. It’s great how each animated Star Wars show thus far has its one distinct feel to it, such as Rebels having similar themes to Andor, as well as something of a similar vibe, albeit slightly more on the family friendly side, or like how Bad Batch, in my opinion felt a lot like The A-Team for Star Wars, which is fine by me. I find I do recommend Rebels to people more than I do Clone Wars. I’m positive Jess would love both, regardless of if she’s watching the shows on-camera or off.

Been playing LEGO Star Wars recently and I had pangs of sadness playing as Yoda and Qui-Gon as they flip around quipping under Tom Kane's voice. So sad. He will be heard a few more times if Jess continues, but its so notable when watching this years Tales, you never hear from Yoda in it, despite seeing him in a number of scenes. Perhaps they couldn't get Frank Oz back so thought they better go without. :( Its interesting to note that in the opening episode of this show, chronologically (S2E16 Cat and Mouse), the first Jedi we meet and see, is Anakin; and in the closing shot, we end, not with him, but what he became, Darth Vader. While in many ways, Ahsoka and Rex are the true leads of this show; it is a reminder of the larger picture and how it fits in with the bigger story and films. All three 'endings' of Clone Wars are in there own way, fitting. Season 5 ends with Ahsoka leaving the Jedi - at the time her story wasn't known, so it was wondered what happened to her and why she wasn't a character in the movies. Then the Yoda arc from season 6 (and my own personal favourite) as it tells us how the Jedi of this time are doomed, yet hope will come as we shall see, which will end the coming tyranny and evil. Then there is this, the story of the clones themselves, and how they will be used and discarded, in order to bring around Palpatine's Plan; and seeing the image of Vader wander off in the reflection of the clone helmet, is so powerful and haunting.

Yeah, I grew up hearing Tom Kane’s voice in many things when I was a kid. It was devastating to hear of his stroke. I assume Frank Oz was unavailable for Tales and either a suitable replacement could not be found, or more probably, as you posit, they likely chose not to recast Yoda out of respect for Tom. It is a great bookend of the opening shots of Anakin Skywalker and then the closing shot of Darth Vader. As I mentioned earlier, I could make a case for any of the three finales. Though, like I said, if one is judging by tone, the Yoda arc would be my favorite in terms of tone. Something particularly striking about this finale is how it rivals how depressing and downbeat the ending of Revenge of the Sith is, and in a way, it surpasses Sith in that regard. With Sith, we at least end on the scenes that remind us that there is a new hope with Luke and Leia. With Clone Wars, we end it with those haunting scenes and images and are just left gutted and feeling hollow from the tragedy and sorrow of all that the Emperor has wrought through his grand, grim, and glorious plans and schemes.

Resistance had almost a spark of something decent running through it, but it got bogged down in jokes and slapstick, and the lead character never learnt a thing in the two seasons of its airing. There is one scene that could have had real drama to it, but the very next scene almost, it dissipates and the drama is lost. A rare miss from Filoni. Yes, one can compare Rebels and Andor almost directly, since it occurs in exactly the same timeline. Season 1 of Andor is over the course of a year, whilst Rebels season 1 is about 18 months starting around the same time as the opening episode of Andor. With Rebels being more of a broader brush of a show, it can't go to quite the grittiness of Andor, or the murkiness of some of the rebels we see in that show; but it does explore it a bit more in-depth later for sure. Yep Bad Batch is exactly like the A-Team with a more familial element to it, and I'm all for that! Been looking forward to it the most all year, though Andor took us all by surprise by its brilliance (fancy rewatching Sesska's reactions again soon to it actually); so really keen to see what they'll come up with for the second season. Are you going to finish season 1 and watch season 2 yourself Tom?

Thank you for releasing this on my birthday.

Right, because Rebels is more on the family friendly side, it doesn’t quite match, as you put it, the grittiness and murkiness of Andor. It does get pretty dark in some spots which I love. I am planning on finishing Bad Batch season one, and then seeing season 2. been a bit busy lately, thus haven’t gotten to it just yet, but it’s on my to do list.

Yes, to me there is more emotion in this arc, than anything in Revenge Of The Sith - aside from Obi-Wan saying to Vader "I have failed you Anakin, I have failed you", and also through this series, seeing Plo Koon shot down and killed. Its why to me, Clone Wars and Rebels are better than anything in the movies aside from Empire Strikes Back which is flawless. ROTS is a lot of fun, but its also a flawed film at times as well. The prequels and this series always have to be considered to be a tragedy, and as such have to end on downbeat notes, with only the briefest nod in the Yoda arc and at the end of ROTS, that hope isn't all lost and that two kids born in the dying embers of the Republic, will help change the fate of the galaxy and rid it of the corruption of the Empire.
