But if you endured the long wait for The Clone Wars to come back and stuck with the slow start to the season, your patience paid off. Two-thirds of the way through, Season 7 seemed like a dud. The penultimate episode in the arc, вЂњDangerous Debt,вЂќ sports the lowest average IMDb user rating of any episode in the series, reflecting fansвЂ™ unrest. This quartet felt like filler, which would have been forgivable in a 22-episode season but was frustrating with so little time to go. But the Martez sisters werenвЂ™t particularly appealing, and the smuggling sidequest was an unwelcome detour. It was nice to see Ahsoka again, and her team-up with the Jedi-hating Trace and Rafa forced her to wrestle with her role outside the order.

Consequently, Okami was replaced by Trace and Rafa Martez, two sisters scraping by on Level 1313 of CoruscantвЂ™s underworld-a locale initially envisioned as the setting of a canceled video game and live-action TV series, and eventually introduced in The Clone WarsвЂ™ second season.

When the series was exhumed for a limited run, that romance seemed extraneous. Before The Clone Wars was canceled, this sequence was slated to introduce a potential love interest for Ahsoka, Nyx Okami.

The middle episodes cleared up AhsokaвЂ™s actions after she left the Jedi order in the Clone Wars Season 5 finale. The Bad Batch were better in fully finished form, but in and of themselves, those first four installments didnвЂ™t constitute a compelling reason to resurrect the series. But because these episodes were screened as story reels at Star Wars Celebration five years ago and later released online, they seemed somewhat stale to hardcore Clone Wars fans-the ones who were still holding out hope for some kind of continuation years after Season 6. ItвЂ™s easy to envision the Bad Batch, whom Lucas created, as the basis of a Star Wars take on The A-Team, or at least as the protagonists of a Republic Commando reboot in any other Clone Wars season, this arc could have been a highlight.

The season-opening arc paired Rex with вЂњThe Bad Batch,вЂќ a unit of misfit-toy clones born with genetic abnormalities that gave them unique looks and a set of special abilities.

The first four episodes followed Rex, the second four centered on Ahsoka, and the last four brought the two together to explain how they survived Order 66. Season 7 broke down into a trio of four-episode arcs that filled in some of the gaps in the stories of two fan favorites, Commander Rex and Ahsoka Tano, who were introduced in the animated Clone Wars film that preceded and set up the series in 2008. But it also helped position both its writer and its most memorable character for expanded roles in the franchiseвЂ™s future.

Season 7вЂ™s 12-episode send-off was largely intended to tie up loose ends and bid goodbye to a show and an era that hold a special significance for many Star Wars fans who were weaned on the prequels. The seventh and final season of The Clone Wars, which returned from a six-year hiatus in February, bowed out with a May 4 finale that saw the prequel-spanning series catch up to-and briefly vault past-the conclusion of Episode III. Fifteen years after Lucas presided over preproduction of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the animated series has reached its long-delayed conclusion. On Monday, Disney snipped the last link to George LucasвЂ™s decades-long tenure as the steward of Star Wars.
