Star Wars: The Clone Wars
This is a review of the last 4 episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars...
Often these days i forget why i'm a star wars fan, the toxic and hateful fanbase, the lack of quality and care in the recent movies, and just general disillusionment with the franchise has made me very cynical regarding star wars.
These 4 episodes though are a masterclass on how to end a tv show, very well paced, intense action scenes that's better and more realistic than anything in the sequels, voice acting miles ahead of most animated shows, excellent use of sound, satisfying and climactic writing, and that damn beautiful music.
And the bigger budget means the animation is breathtaking, the last season has almost movie level quality of animation.
These episodes prove that star wars can be more than just childish escapist fantasy fueled by nostalgia, it can be a vehicle for telling truly compelling stories set in a universe rich with storytelling possibilities and strong character writing.
