The series' final arc. How to describe it other than "cinematic"? The writing, the animation, the music, the fight choreography — everything was light-years better than any other animated series. I'd put it up there with plenty of prestige live-action shows. — PolitiTweet.org

It's hard to sustain that kind of hope and suspense in fans who already know how everything is going to end, but the Fives arc did it. RIP Fives. You didn't live to see it, but your discovery ended up making a huge difference. Which brings me to... — PolitiTweet.org

@DukeStJournal I don't know if it was meant to be played for laughs but I definitely found it funny — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
The Fives-discovers-Order-66 arc was also incredible for a similar reason: you actually saw Fives as an individual, felt his pain and confusion, rooted for him as he stumbled through a massive conspiracy, and irrationally hoped that he'd make it out alive. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't think Ahsoka was ever as relatable, well-written, or well-acted as she was in that final S5 arc, when she was on the run, desperately fending for herself, stunned by her adopted family's betrayal. Even w/ the fantastical particulars, you could really empathize with her. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Gotta praise a few story arcs in particular. The Ahsoka-framed-for-bombing-the-Jedi-Temple storyline might be the best arc in the entire series. I loved the exploration of the tensions between the Jedi, the Senate, and the public — another dynamic of which we saw far too little. — PolitiTweet.org

Misc: * S02E22: Young Boba, during a standoff w/ the Jedi: "I want justice." Plo Koon: "We are justice." Great line. * S05E02: The capital city of the planet w/ the insurgency is called Iziz & pronounced "Isis." 👀 * S05E10: I forgot that the D-Squad arc was about encryption! — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Misc funny moments, cont'd: * S02E21: Anakin, after Mace Windu praises R2: "That's definitely more praise than I ever get." (😬) * S03E04: Padme, after Anakin dispatches Ahsoka on a mission without the Council's approval: "I still can't believe they let you teach." — PolitiTweet.org

@byrdinator they're just trying their best out here Haley!! — PolitiTweet.org

Misc funny moments: * S02E11: Elderly Jedi Master Tera Sinube driving slowly in speeder traffic * S02E13: [Cornered bad guy during standoff] "Who will strike first and brand themselves a cold-blooded killer?" *Anakin stabs him in the back as the Imperial March plays* — PolitiTweet.org

My favorite battle droid moment, from S01E21: Droid 1: "No wonder he got blasted. He's one of those older models programmed by a central computer. Not us. We're independent thinkers." Other droids: "Roger roger." "Roger roger." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
(Should have specified: I meant the battle droid humor — although there were *also* great episodes about the Republic droids, especially my main man R2-D2.) — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Droid: "We're defending the bridge alone? Against the Jedi? I hate this job." Commander droid, after clones arrive: "Don't shoot. I'm not the commander. He's the commander!" [other droid puts its hands up, is shot] Commander droid: "Guess I'm the commander now." [pew pew] — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Droid humor! I know some people didn't like the droids as comic relief, but I loved it. Some of my favorite lines: [droid being destroyed] "But I just got promoted!" Droid 1: "This is a lot more fun when they're not shooting back." Droid 2: "I still can't seem to hit anything!" — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
I really liked S03E10, where Padme brings Ahsoka on a secret mission to meet her Separatist senator friend. TCW needed more eps about the Sep perspective. It was great to see Ahsoka wrestling with her own biases. And I wanted more of the Romeo/Juliet thing with Lux! — PolitiTweet.org

Cartoon Network's censorship was inconsistent. They blocked the S05E14 shot of Savage decapitating the Black Sun leaders but not the (incredible) S04E14 shot of Ahsoka decapitating four Death Watch soldiers in one spinning slice. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
It's wild to remember that this show aired on Cartoon Network. The D+ version of S03E02 includes the shot of Asajj Force-pulling a clone commando onto her lightsaber and then kissing his cheek as he dies. CN demanded it be cut. Dave Filoni said it was their first censorship. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Side note: There REALLY should have been more Ahsoka and Barriss stories. One of the biggest missed opportunities. I loved how different they were because of their starkly different teachers. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
There was some really dark stuff in this show — and early on, too. During the Geonosian brain worms episode (S2E8), there's a moment when Barriss, who's been infected, whispers to Ahsoka, "Kill me...please." These are teenagers! — PolitiTweet.org

Recently finished my @TheCloneWars rewatch. What an incredible show. Some of the best SW storytelling ever, across a wide range of themes, conflicts, and narratives. Wanted to share a few of the things that stood out to me, in no particular order. Pardon the long, nerdy thread. — PolitiTweet.org
