The Umbara arc
​
"Our actions define our legacy"
I'm on my first watch of clone wars and I've actually enjoyed it from season 1. Except for the filler droid and jar jar episodes and a few occasional episodes it's been pretty fun.
Then I started the umbara arc. I watched all three episodes in a single sitting and nothing could prepare me for that moment when Rex takes off the clone trooper's helmet. Until the second episode i thought Krell couldn't be THAT evil. That he was just ki adi mundi but worse what with his cannon fodder tactics. Nothing prepared me for that sledge hammer to the gut. May his name be forgotten.
The charecter development of Captain Rex, Fives (rip my bad batch boys), jesse, Tup and dogma and the 501st in general has been absolutely amazing. RIP to my boy Hardcase.
Live to fight another day boys, live to fight another day.
This has been one of the best war stories I've watched and it's an arc in animated show. This arc is one of the best star wars media I've consumed. I hope this arc hasn't set the bar too high for the rest of the show. Truly insightful and stirring. What an arc.
