There has been lots of talk since the airing of the season finale of The Clone Wars. Most of it has been overwhelmingly positive.
For my part, I liked absolutely loved it. It had an emotional core that drew me in and turned me over to pour my tears into a bucket of sadness and loss. But it was a good thing. I love when I can be invested in a story so much that it can make me cry. Star Wars is one of the few things that does that to me, but it’s got to be the right story.
This arc of The Clone Wars was the right story.
For those of you looking for more insight and answers, I’d love to hear what questions you had about the episode. Did you think it was good or bad what they did to Barriss Offee? Do you think Ahsoka is going to survive now? Or will this make her death more tragic and borne more fully on the shoulders of Anakin?
Do you think this makes Anakin’s unraveling trust in the Jedi order makes more sense in Revenge of the Sith?
I want to hear more of your comments and questions below.
But I’d also like to invite you to listen to some of the answers and insight that Tha Mike Pilot and I put together for our latest episode of the Full of Sith podcast. Mike and I were at the finale screening of The Clone Wars and we recorded our thoughts there, but we also got some exclusive audio from the Q & A session after the screening, and we got the first public reactions of the episode from Supervising Director Dave Filoni, and Matt Lanter and Ahsley Eckstein, the voices of Anakin and Ahsoka, respectively.
Interspersed through all of this is the live analysis Mike and I brought to the screening.
It was a great experience and I think it made for a great podcast. You can listen to the episode directly by clicking this link to the Mp3, by heading over to the Full of Sith website, or by subscribing to the podcast on iTunes.
