Next up for the month is something that I didn’t think would
ever come: the 7th season of The Clone Wars. I wasn’t watching the
show when it first ended, but when I caught up with it on Netflix, I fell in
love with it. While it was a good show on its own, it helped make the prequel
trilogy a little better in my eyes. When Season 7 was announced, I was psyched.
What happened to some of our favorites like Ahsoka, Rex, and the others at the
end of the war? Even though Rebels was out there filling in holes, this was one
hole that definitely needed filled. Most of our answers were revealed through
12 weekly episodes that started to air on Disney + on February 12th,
2020. We got three arcs:
- The “Bad Batch” arc - The first four episodes follow Captain
Rex and Anakin as they team up with a group of special clones called “The Bad
Batch.” Imagine the Suicide Squad but as clones. They have their own set of
special abilities. Rex uses the team to find an old captured squadmate of his
and help get a victory on a Separatist stronghold.
- Ahsoka’s post-Jedi Order adventures - This takes place
sometime after Ahsoka has left the Jedi Order. She’s still on Coruscant when
she meets two kinda annoying sisters: Trace and Raffi. Trace takes on to Ahsoka
immediately, but Raffi’s is wary of her. Ahsoka gets pulled into a smuggler
deal Raffi is running and shenanigans happen. They end up dealing with the Pyke
Syndicate. It all ultimately leads to Ahsoka ending up on Mandalore for the
final arc.
- Siege of Mandalore/Order 66 - This final arc pretty much
takes place during the events of Revenge of the Sith. We get to see our main
characters have one final goodbye before all the major stuff goes down. For the
arc itself, we get to see the return of Maul as he tries to lead Mandalore.
After what may be one of the best lightsaber fights on the show happens... we
get Order 66 involving the show’s favorites. Tears may be shed.
