Full Series The Clone Wars 7.11 - Shattered - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I hope all future shows has the same feeling as this last arc of the clone wars.

 

Mmm, not quite true. Dave Filoni explains that whole issue with what Rex says in his debut episode in Rebels with the taking out of the chip here: https://nerdist.com/article/star-wars-clone-wars-final-season-dave-filoni-interview/.

 

No, its just still a retcon and an evolved storyline situation, which they did quite a bit this season. Basically just playing around with continuity rather than staying true to it. Which means they can change things around when they want to and then tell the audience to not get hung up on it nor the details. They like to play fast and loose with "canon" and "continuity" .

 

Still, from a certain point of view (as Obi-Wan would say), Rex didn’t betray Ahsoka as he used his remaining strength pre-Order 66 execution to get Ahsoka to find the data on the incident with Fives and free him from Palpatine/Sidious. The truth is often what we make of it.

 

This episode gets better every time I watch it. I started a rewatch of a few arcs I thought would be relevant to Bad Batch. I tossed in SOM at the end relevant or not because it's so damn awesome. I haven't really watched this since probably the middle of last year. This time around I'm really noticing the brilliance in the composition of the shots used. In many of the scenes with Ahsoka and Rex before the 8-minute mark, the "Camera" is positioned in such a way it looks up at these two.

The angle makes Rex loom over Ahsoka through the beginning of the episode. In some shots like when Rex questions Ahsoka for not telling the council what Maul said about General Skywalker. Or, when walking onto the bridge of the Venator and the two are getting saluted by men below. From these angles, Rex seems monstrously tall over her even though he's not much taller than she is. She grew a lot, in "Mystery of a Thousand Moons" Ahsoka was just barely to his chin. Now she comes up to his eyebrows. Brilliant.
