I've always been a fanatic of Star Wars and I still think that was the most emotional the franchise has ever gotten me. It also doesn't hurt that the music playing during these somber episodes gave me heavy Blade Runner vibes. But there is nothing more fulfilling than when a show that you love gets an ending that it deserves. *Cough Game of Thrones Cough*
It's amazing how this show started off with a pretty much universally-hated film, followed by a really weak first season to somehow evolve into what I consider to be the best Star Wars content that isn't part of the Original Tirlogy or KOTOR. (Knights of the Old Republic games for those of you who are uncultured)
Just when I think Star Wars has lost it's magic, the Clone Wars brings me back and I feel like a little kid again ready to go on an epic space adventure to save the galaxy from the Dark Side. But alas, not every adventure gets to have a happy ending. Even though just about every person who is watching the Clone Wars series knew what was about to happen with Order 66, the suspense build-up was immense due to the atmosphere that was created by the music and the intentional lack of dialogue. This was masterful writing and editing to go along with the prettiest animation the show has had to date.
An absolutely perfect ending to the series.
