As Filoni said Lucas wasn't creatively involved with production of S7 but as he pointed out all these stories were born from the time he was still heavily involved in the show.
In many ways this is goodbye to the Lucas era of Star Wars forever.
Hard to judge this episode on its own as it would be like judging a 3rd Act of a movie as an episode. I'll probably post something else about summarising Clone Wars as a whole and what it means to me for this episode it was a very satisfactory conclusion to the best Star Wars movie we've had in a long time.
Interesting that now it's coming after Thor: Love and Thunder.
Also means 5 MCU films in an 8 Month Span from November to July (Spider-Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Captain Marvel).
This episode might have officially made Maul my favourite Star Wars villain of all time. I really can't think of another character like him in Star Wars heck in many other franchises.
Also I love the sense of dread that's hanging over this arc. Clone Wars has always had a sense of dramatic irony and it's definitely never been more apparent than now especially with a certain choice Ahsoka makes in this episode.
Oh damn totally forgot What We Do In The Shadows Season 2 has started. Gonna see if it's somewhere available to watch. Anyhow nearly up to date with Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I'll be finally starting The Office as my next new show. Still rewatching Season 1 of Arrested Development and will probably rewatch Star Wars Rebels once The Clone Wars finally ends.
Also developed a very unhealthy obsession with old episodes of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Just watched the episode with Amy's Baking Company.
Yikes is all I have to say about that.
Yeah had some minor quibbles but otherwise what a great start. Clone Wars can sometimes be hit and miss with stuff like hand to hand combat but I thought the action here was the best it has ever been. Obviously for nearly every character we know the destination but as Clone Wars has shown time and time again it's the journey that makes it special.
Nearing the end of my Brooklyn Nine Nine binge. Finally on S7. Also rewatching Arrested Development before finally watching S5. Soon will decide to either watch The Office or Parks and Rec for the first time
Happy for No Time To Die. Personally thought it was a great send off to the Craig era of Bond films. Would probably rank it second of the Craig films under Casino Royale.
I think cause we are inundated with so much more media and with people's shorter attention spans it's getting harder and harder to stand out and to leave a lasting impression.
Just with franchises alone I keep harping about the lack of new major franchises in the last 5 or so years.
