In 2008, George Lucas and Dave Filoni opened up the world of Star Wars like it had never been done before by telling stories that stem directly from The Clone Wars that were first mentioned in the original Star Wars film in 1977. In 2005, fans finally got a glimpse of the clones, but the war was completely glossed over. For just over five years, the story was fleshed out in a 3D animated series “The Clone Wars.” Now, in 2019, we are awaiting the next chapter of these wars when they air on Disney+. The galaxy will be watching. REWATCH RECAP S4E7 Darkness on Umbara: “The first step towards loyalty is trust.” Anakin is called back to Coruscant and his troops are left with a new general, Pong Krell, who is harsh and relentless. The troops attempt an attack strategy against the capital of Umbara. S4E8 The General: “The path of ignorance is guided by fear.” General Krell orders the 501st on a suicide mission. Captain Rex and the clone troopers must be flexible and use their ingenuity to defeat the Umbarians. S4E9 Plan of Dissent: “The Ignorant man follows, the wise man leads.” Several clone troopers disobey Krell and face his punishment. S4E10 Carnage of Krell: “Our actions define our legacy.” The troops arrest Krell for treason. S4E11 Kidnapped: “Where we are going always reflects where we came from.” The separatists bring Zygerrian slavers to the planet of Kiros and enslave an entire colony. Anakin and Ahsoka must defuse a series of bombs while Obi-Wan fights with the separatist leader. S4E12 Slaves of the Republic: “Those who enslave others inevitably become slaves themselves.” To find the missing Togruta colony, Anakin poses as a slaver with Ahsoka as his slave. S4E13 Escape from Kadavo: “Great hope can come from small sacrifices.” Anakin hopes to convince the Zygerrian Queen that she is a slave to the separatists. CONNECTING THE CANON #CloneWarsSaved to #RiseOfSkywalker A Sarlac appears in “Darkness on Umbara.” The more I think about Dee Bradley Baker voicing all the troops, the more I am impressed by him. I don’t have much to say about the Umbara arc. Krell says “it’s treason then” echoing “Revenge of the Sith.” “Kidnapped” is the first time we see the planet Kiros, Ahsoka’s home world. Ahsoka is starting to learn more about Anakin’s background. Ricardo Mamood-Vega gust stars. Anakin salutes R2 to eject his lightsaber just like Luke does in “Return of the Jedi.” BEST OF THE BATCH
I really hated the Umbara arc and I wasn’t a fan of the “Slaves of the Republic” arc either. That said, the Zygerrians and the Togruta colony were more interesting and better designed than Umbara and Krell. Disney+ launches in the United States on November 12, 2019. May the Force be with you, always. [email protected] @GrahamWoodMedia
