'The Clone Wars' was full of interesting arcs, but the best out of the bunch has to be the Siege of Mandalore.
The four-episode arc known as “The Siege of Mandalore” serves as both a series finale for The Clone Wars, and a companion piece to Revenge of the Sith. Indeed, this collection of episodes is as cinematic as anything in the Star Wars canon and feels more like a movie than the actual movie/extended pilot that kicked off The Clone Wars did.
For those who’ve wished for an Ahsoka movie, this is it. This is also the best Darth Maul movie, despite the character having shown up in The Phantom Menace and Solo: A Star Wars Story. These are two characters have a good deal in common: both were given in-depth storylines in The Clone Wars , both were talented apprentices cast out by their masters, and now, both are powerless to stop what is to come. Neither character has come face-to-face, until now.
With the next episode, “Shattered”, “The Siege of Mandalore” has reached Anakin’s fall and Order 66. Knowing what’s coming, in this case, doesn’t make the episode any less riveting; on the contrary, it’s devastating to watch Rex and Ahsoka reflect on their time together, knowing that he’ll be forced to try to kill her in a brief amount of time. Order 66 is one of the most heartbreaking sequences in Revenge of the Sith, but “Shattered” tops that drama by making it all the more personal.
“Victory and Death” isn’t climactic in the way we’re used to; it doesn’t offer a battle with an unknown outcome. As we watch, we know there’s no chance of the Republic being saved. We know Maul, Ahsoka, and Rex will survive. What we don’t know is how that will happen, and in the process of showing us, the episode stays true to the characters and offers a finale that is both action-packed and subdued in its melancholy.
Rex and Ahsoka are the only two survivors of the crash, and they create a touching memorial for the fallen out of the helmets, so recently painted in Ahsoka’s honor. A cloaked and grieving Ahsoka lets the sabers kept safe by Anakin – her former master, brother, role model, and friend – fall to the ground in front of the empty helmets. Then, an undisclosed amount of time passes, and we return to the now snow-covered planet.
