Clone Wars Winding Down.

So I went ahead and watched the final few episodes first(had to see what the Yoda/Palpatine clash was all about.) Much to my surprise,

Spoiler:
the battle between them wasn't real in the physical sense... Although you could argue that a real fight between them in that particular setting would have played out the same way, given that they essentially battled one another on the astral plane.

Anyway, Yoda's final 'realization'(you'll know what I'm talking about when you watch the last episode) was an absolutely perfect way to conclude the series.

I've watched all of them now except the Yoda Arc. Looks like that's where all the excitement is, but was a bit much to cramp it all in one day.

Anyway found the Mace and Jar Jar Arc disappointing, but enjoyed the Clone Trooper Arc and the Clovis Arc was pretty interesting.

Finally catching up- I am perpetually three years behind on Clone Wars. In many ways a good job they've stopped or I'd never catch up.

Are there any plans to release the concluding half-season on DVD, do we know?

Good to see Embo is still roaming the universe. I wonder if we'll ever see Cad Bane or Ventress again?

I'm sure Cad Bane will appear in Rebels. But I'm content with what the CW did with Ventress.

I forgot but what became of Ventress? I know she helped Anakin catch Barriss but that's all I can remember.

That's the last we see of her, yeah. But basically Dooku betrays her, she goes to get help from the Nightsisters but the Separatists wipe them out, and then she becomes a bounty hunter

She's still out there, but I think her arc was wrapped up pretty nicely.

Plus they'll need to have a few 'known' antagonists appear in Rebels to help satiate the preexisting CW fanbase, imo.

I'm guessing there is a 13 year or so gap between CW and Rebels.

On a different note, these episodes show that Dooku was working with Sidious before TPM. This is evident as Sifo-Dyas was

Spoiler:
killed at the behest of Dooku when Valorum was the Chancellor.

^ Technically, that could have still taken place during TPM, as Valorum was still the Chancellor for part of the film until Padme issued a vote of no-confidence. /shrug

I actually liked the Mace & Jar Jar arc, I loved the contrast between the two, but the Mace vs. Talzin fight was disappointing.

True. I was just trying to simplifying what I said. Either way it differs from what happened in the EU as Dooku was working with Sidious prior to Qui-Gon's death.

It was surprising alright for a Jar Jar centric arc. But I wasn't a fan of the idea that Talzin could become uber powerful by using some stupid ritual. Plus, they focused on Jar Jar's bumbling antics rather than the Talzin/Windu fight... Meh.

On episode 8, enjoying it so far...

Dammit Jar-Jar... I didn't see THAT coming.

But still afterwords. Qui-Gon's death was the catalyst that drove him to join the Sith.

Awesome seeing Jar Jar getting some pussy though...

Those ****ing feels...

Bit disappointed that I didn't see more of my favourites, but that Yoda arc... ****ing hell.

I am sooo gonna miss this show; when it's at its best, it's every bit the reason I continue to be a die-hard SW fan.
