"The Clone Wars" Final Season is a Strong, Action-Packed Chapter in the "Star Wars" Franchise

Review of Disney Plus’ The Clone Wars: Season 7

Here we have it, the seventh and final season of The Clone Wars. Disney may have made it instead of Cartoon Network, which created the first six seasons, but that doesn’t slow the conclusion down, not one bit. This one further focuses on beloved characters, with the first few episodes featuring a team of clone troopers, led by Captain Rex (Dee Bradley Baker) who team up with a rogue team of “different” troopers collectively dubbed “The Bad Batch”. The second half mainly features Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein) running away from the Jedi after being wrongfully accused of treason, meeting two streetsmart young women and going on some iffy missions as a trio. The show concludes similar to Revenge of the Sith, with Order 66 and Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter), turning to the dark side while bringing some new factors into it (no spoilers!) Despite the whole show feeling a little too massive in scope, it never loses sight of what brought fans to like the first six seasons, delivering a good amount of humor, dazzling action sequences and surprisingly detailed, developed characters even with the fast-paced plotting. Some could even argue it may be a better Star Wars installment than even The Mandalorian, another Disney Plus original. Sure, nothing will ever match up to the first two originals, but it hops over a lot of installments in the franchise, including some of the finer ones such as The Force Awakens and Rogue One. Though seriously, the action sequences are most likely some of the best I’ve seen in awhile, brought to life by impeccable animation style. Even if animated Star Wars isn’t for you, this final season will be.

Should you Binge, Browse, or Skip?

The final season of The Clone Wars proves that conclusions can improve upon their predecessors, with this one featuring some of the best sci-fi action in entertainment, signature franchise humor, fast-paced arcs and fully realized, developed characters. I would say…BINGE IT
