The Clone Wars returns

The new season of The Clone Wars is released in the US tonight. For the first time in a very long time I'm really excited about new Star Wars content and cannot wait to get up in the morning to watch it.

For anyone who needs a recap on the previous 6 seasons:

Thanks! Recap was very useful. I'd forgotten some bits and I'm not sure if I'd forgotten or just hadn't noticed that Saw Gerrera was in Clone Wars.

Much bigger in my memory from Rebels cos it was so close to Rogue One. Maybe I found out the link to Clone Wars back then but forgot.

Anyway..

Episode 1: So GOOD! These new clones fit in just fine. The early part of the episode felt like it was borderline on giving too much "here's an explanation between characters that's actually just there to catch the audience up" but it was needed for the episode.

4: Good episode! The scene at the end!

I didn't notice it in previous episodes this season, but there seemed to be a massive jump in the quality of animation in this episode. It was a little bit more anime-y, with Ahsoka doing wall running and so on, but the movement of the lifter droid, all the stuff going on in the background, the smoothness of the animation. It was by a distance the best produced episode we've seen yet. The only thing that looked as good was maybe the Umbara story arc with Jedi Master Pong Krell with all the neon pink and green colour schemes, the mist, and whatnot.

Before the Clone Wars was completed with had a few books and graphic novels, including the one where Ahsoka gets her white lightsabers. I wonder will they just predate those plotlines (Son of Dathomir, Dark Disciple, Ahsoka) or will there be some retconning.

I do hope we see Ventress again.

6: Decent episode. Get the feeling we're about to learn more about the Han Solo

7:

There's quite a lot that's already known about the general arc of the story, from the Ahsoka novel and elsewhere. Possible future

Yeah I knew the arcs are already available to read online due to the fact they released details and animated storyboards when they thought they wouldn't get a chance to do more. But I didn't read/watch them upon release then forgot about them.
So good to see them now after managing to avoid spoilers. May look up the rest when it's all over. Or I may live in hope they get more.

Is the animation in the first season 7 arc different to previous seasons?

It seems less advanced to what I remember - more like season one animation.

8: !!! :eek: Right?

Well now I'm really looking forward to the next episode!

I wish they would hurry up and post the rest of the episodes. Waiting to watch them all together is killing me.

I caved and started watching them.

Good opener for the final arc.

I found the beginning of it interesting in how different it was to the previous episodes. With the "Lucasfilm Limited Event", I think it was. Saw a suggestion it could be released as a movie. But wonder if there will be more Limited Events. Maybe the occasional Clone Wars movie?

Anyway, got the answer to the lightsabre question. How long was she away from the Jedi Order?
Looking forward to more

So good. Tugging on your heartstrings throughout.

And again, the animation is so much better than the original run.
