Star Wars: The Clone Wars "The Siege Of Mandalore" Arc Review

 


Star Wars believe it or not outside of the movie and a few episodes of the TV show I in all honesty haven't seen that much of Star Wars: The Clones and well I thought that i'd one arc to the list of Star Wars: The Clone Wars that I have actually seen. With the arc in question being the final ever arc of / for the entire show and so join me as I review the final ever arc of / for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated TV series / TV Show with the arc in question being called simply just "The Siege of Mandalore" enjoy.

Now then the plot of this arc is Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan lead a siege on Mandalore when they receive information that Darth Maul is somewhere in the city of Mandalore but Darth Maul has his one plans for the young jedi night one which might spell the end of / for the jedi order as a whole. Now then as for what I personally thought about the plot of this arc in all honesty I all honesty thought / felt that the plot of this arc was really good and even tho the plot of this arc does change by the arcs third episode you can still very much see the story threads from the previous two episodes being carried over into it's third and fourth episodes respectively but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least. 


Starring in this arc is Tom Kane as Admiral Yularen , This Shows Narrator and as Yoda and Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano. Also starring in this arc is Julian Holloway as Almec , Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker , Matthew Wood as Battle Droids , Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan , Dee Bradley Baker as Clone Troopers and as Commander Rex , Ray Stevenson as Gar Saxon , Sam Witwer as Darth Maul and as A Mandalorian Guard, James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi , Gwendoline Yeo as Nala Se , Ian McDiarmid as Darth Sidious , this arcs writer Dave Filoni as CH-33P a.k.a. "Cheep" , Silas Carson as Ki-Adi-Mundi , TC Carson as Mace Windu , Vanessa Marshall as Rook Kast and as a Gauntlet Pilot , Donald Faison as The / A Tactical Droid and Sharmila Devar as Ursa Wren.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / actual arc in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / actual arc was in all honesty rather freaking good. This is something however that shouldn't / should not have come to a surprise from anybody from what i've seen at least the acting that's in anything that's to do with Star Wars: The Clone Wars has always been really freaking good and so to gave some really good acting from these actors and actresses in this final arc is in my opinion anyways / at least a very good thing indeed in my opinion anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this arc as far as I can tell is Lucasfilm Animation since there the only animation company that's listed in each of the episodes IMDB pages. Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual arc in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual arc was really freaking good heck the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual arc is movie quality good.


Now then it was while I was watching this arc for this review that I noticed that this arc takes place almost entirely at the same time as the second and third and final act of Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith. With this arc making quite alot of references to what is meant to be going on at that point in time during / in Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith and in all honesty that really does go to show how big of a Star Wars fan Dave Filoni is because he makes these fairly deep cut references that only die hard Star Wars fans would pick up on and it's those exact same deep cut Star Wars references that make this arc very rewatchable in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then if you all want to truly see what Star Wars is and more importantly what Star Wars could be when it's at it's best / firing on all cylinders. Then you really should check out this arc because this one arc gives you a much better representation of what Star Wars and more importantly what Star Wars could be then any of the Disney era Star Wars sequel trilogy because Star Wars is alot more then being about lightsaber fights / battles and it's also more then being about fights / battles in space it's about working together to over come impossible odds and it's about doing what's right even tho doing the right thing nine times out of ten isn't always the easiest thing in the world to do and this is something that Disney and alot of people who are currently working at Lucasfilm fail to understand in my opinion anyways / at least. 


Now I will say that how this arc ends is pretty much the perfect way for this arc to end and it's really the only way that this show could possibly end in my opinion anyways / at least. Since this arc ends with Ahsoka lying down her lightsaber to honor her fallen clone comrades and then they top that by having a now fully turned sith lord Lord Darth Vader arrive on the exact same planet that Ahsoka was just on and Darth Vader then picks up her / Ahsokas dropped / fallen lightsaber. This is in all honesty the perfect way for to end this arc and as well being the perfect way for this show to end because it goes to show you how strong the bond was that existed between Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano because it also goes on to show you that perhaps deep deep deep deep down inside of Lord Darth Vader that there is perhaps still some resemblance of Anakin Skywalker in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then there are exactly four episodes running in this arc with each episode being around twenty three minuets to twenty seven minuets in length which means that all in all this arc has a grand total running of roughly two hours to one hour and thirty minuets in grand total running time and well if i'm being well and truly very freaking honest here people. This arc didn't really need to be four episodes long since you very easily could have done this arcs storyline / plotline in about three episodes but at the same time if you were to do this arcs storyline / plotline in three episodes it would unfortunately mean that alot of good stuff that's from this arc would have to get cut out tho just to meet the three episode deadline for the arc tho but that's just what I think and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very freaking honest opinion anyways / at least



Now then since Star Wars is an action franchise and that this show is indeed an action show that means that there is action in this very / particular / actual arc and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual arc and well if i'm being well and truly very freaking honest here people the action that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular / actual arc is really freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least. This is because we get to see alot of really cool moves being preformed in those action scenes but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least. 



Overall this arc was honestly a really perfect arc for the most part with any issues that I found with the arc in question to be very minor issues in the long run and so yeah this really was everything that alot of Star Wars ad built it up to be and perhaps even then some in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very / particular / actual arc in this very / particular / actual review and so that means that this arc gets a gets a grand old score of a perfect 10 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page , the official Star Wars resistance fandom wiki page and from the official Star Wars The Clone Wars fandom wiki page. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this arc being the official Star Wars The Clone Wars fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Star Wars The Clone Wars fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on the official Star Wars The Clone Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
