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 S3E18 The Citadel: “Adaptation is the key to survival.” When Jedi general Even Piell is captured, the gang must rescue him by breaking into the Citadel, a prison designed to keep Jedi from leaving. After storming the Citadel, Anakin meets the fleet officer, Captain Tarkin. S3E19 Counterattack: “Anything that can go wrong will.” Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Rex, Fives, Echo, Cody, R2-D2, Tarkin, and Even Piell must escape The Citadel. S3E20 Citadel Rescue: “Without honor, victory is hollow.” Obi-Wan and the rest of the rescue team are stranded on the Citadel. Their only hope is that the Jedi council will get to them in time. S3E21 Padawan Lost: “Without humility, courage is a dangerous game.” Ahsoka is trapped and hunted on a Trandoshan moon during the Battle of Felucia. Her and a group of abducted younglings must hide until they can be rescued. S3E22 Wookie Hunt: “A great student is what the teacher hopes to be.” Ahsoka receives help from a new ally, Chewbacca the Wookie. CONNECTING THE CANON #CloneWarsSaved to #RiseOfSkywalker This is the first time we’ve seen carbon freezing since “The Empire Strikes Back.” Rex says that he doesn’t want to end up a wall decoration and we see an ugnaught. We are finally starting to see how much Anakin cares about Ahsoka. This makes his turn to the dark side even more devastating. Osi Sobeck is a new separatist villain in this episode. Tarkin makes his first appearance in “The Clone Wars” in “The Citadel.” As Tarkin and Anakin shake hands at the end of this arc, the Imperial March can be heard playing in the background. Even Piell dies in this episode which contradicts a legends non-canon novel. “Padawan Lost” is a great opportunity for Ahsoka to grow from youngling to Jedi. Peter Mayhew was brought in to help animate Chewbacca. BEST OF THE BATCH
Even though the Citadel Arc introduces Tarkin, the story is kind of boring. “Wookie Hunt,” the season finale, is the best episode of the batch. Disney+ launches in the United States on November 12, 2019. May the Force be with you, always. [email protected] @GrahamWoodMedia
