Image Credit: Disney/Lucasfilm UPDATE:  This is Arca on 6/8/2020. I noticed a few days ago that the views for this post on my Blogger dashboard had literally reached 66. This post is reviewing an episode that is literally focused on Order 66. That's a perfect coincidence. I attached a screenshot below, as well, as proof: Now, onto the original contents of this post... I was not prepared for this. And neither were you. Or anybody else, really. Execute Order 66 . Omenous, thrilling music. A deep punch in the gut. And goosebumps even in the moments of relative silence as slowly, bit by bit, the entire galaxy went to hell and we saw it through a pair of eyes that hurt the viewer emotionally much more than I expected. Hello, this is Arca, and today I will be reviewing the second-to-last episode ever of the entirety of The Clone Wars , which is Season 7 Episode 11, titled "Shattered", which released on May 1st , or yesterday (which was a Friday). Whew, that was a long ...

Image Credit: Disney/Lucasfilm; via Star Wars News Net The third-to-last episode of The Clone Wars , ever, released yesterday. I watched it, and today I will be doing a review of it. Titled "The Phantom Apprentice", it is the second part out of four episodes of the final arc about the Siege of Mandalore that actually take place overlapping the events of the film Episode III: Revenge of the Sith . As a recap of the previous episode, which was titled "Old Friends Not Forgotten" (spoilers for the episode that is before the one I'm reviewing, by the way, by the way), Anakin and Obi-Wan had to go run off to save the Emperor---I mean, *cough cough* Chancellor-- from his Sith co-conspirator--- I mean, Separatist captor---Count Dooku. This, as we know, happens during the movie Revenge of the Sith , and that particular moment ends with someone being decapitated and a particular Chosen One getting even closer to falling to the Dark Side. Meanwhile, what were belove...

Image Credit: Disney/Lucasfilm (Okay, so this is where it gets really good.) Hey guys, this is Arca, and today I will be reviewing the first episode of the final arc in the entire series of  The Clone Wars , or Season 7 Episode 9, entitled "Old Friends Not Forgotten". Based on that title, you guessed it, Ahsoka and Anakin finale meet back up as we saw in the surprise reveal trailer for Season 7 (which we were told was cancelled) two years ago. For the first time in this entire season (and possibly the series, but I haven't watched every single episode so I can't be sure), the creators of the show decided to treat an arc like a cinematic film. This is proven by the interesting opening (you'll see it for yourself), as well as the grand themes and events that it covers. No more "small world" stuff. This episode takes place directly during the events of the freaking film  Revenge of the Sith ! If that's "filler" to you, then I don...

Image Credit: Lucasfilm/Disney Hey guys, this is Arca, and today I will be reviewing the new episode of The Clone Wars that released this morning, titled "Together Again". My spring break started today for me, so I won't have virtual schoolwork to do for a while and will be free (while still in-quarantine). In an alternate universe, I would have been on a cruise around China and other Asian countries with my cousins right now. In another alternate universe, I would be doing that exact trip alone, without  my cousins. In yet another universe, we would have flown to and arrived in Madrid, instead, today. But alas, the universe I'm in is the one where I'm stuck indoors all spring break but get to watch new Clone Wars final season episodes the morning of their day of release! So I'm going to continue reviewing this entire season, episode-by-episode (or, if I miss a week, I might do multiple episodes or an arc at a time), until it's finished! We only have ...

Image credit: Lucasfilm/Disney via /FILM Hello, this is Arca. I hope you are all safe and healthy and well. I will be reviewing Episode 6, titled "Dangerous Debt", of the final season of The Clone Wars , which released yesterday. This episode continues after (spoiler alert for the previous episode), Ahsoka and the Martez sisters' attempt to complete a job to bring spice to the Pyke crime syndicate from the planet of Kessel (complete with the same aliens from Solo: A Star Wars Story !) completely fails and they are thrown into captivity and forced to answer to a crime boss. Obviously, they will try everything they can to escape and get themselves out of their mess, and a bit of character development will happen along the way. So, what did I think of it? I think it was almost identical in quality to the previous episode, mostly. There are still real moments of suspense and intrigue, and the backstory of the Martez sisters actually becomes quite a bit more interesti...

Image Credit: Lucasfilm/Disney Hey guys, if you came here for the review only, feel skip the next three paragraphs where I talk about my life and stuff before clicking out and calling this clickbait. Ok? Thanks! This is Arca, and welcome back to the very last ever March Edublog I will ever make on a Friday. Also the very last "schoolwork" one that I will make that will be reviewing a new Clone Wars  episode. Today I still had to do work while simultaneously propping my foot up on a chair because if you didn't read about it in yesterday's post as to how it happened ( http://www.arcabaran.com/2020/03/i-thought-i-broke-my-toe-my-reaction-to.html ), I recently accidentally broke or fractured my toe. Last night I found out for certain that this was the case when we videocalled a teledoctor (the only way to see a real doctor in the midst of this quarantine stuff) and they looked at my toe's purpleness and confirmed it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see an...

Image Credit: Disney/Lucasfilm This whole quarantine business allowed my school (and homework) to end around near only 1 PM (my school ended at 12:30 PM, and my left-over work was insignificant to not even take me past 1 PM including eating lunch). This is definitely better than regular school, and if you disagree, you're lying. Just kidding. People can have varying opinions, but some "opinions" are closer to the truth for some people more than others. Some may vastly prefer regular school and its face-to-face interaction (even though I think that Hangouts chats and video calls are plenty and still make me feel as if my classmates are right here... and then again, my best friends are now either are in other classes or in schools elsewhere in New Jersey), but I don't. That is since, as different people who have had different life experiences, and gotten different things out of each of those experiences, which shapes their "opinions", which sorry Achi...

Image Credit: Disney/Lucasfilm via Slash Film Today, I stayed home the entire day without any work or online school due to my high school needing time to "prepare" for the virus. I mostly expect it'll be fully online next week starting Monday (as my little brother's elementary school, and also the middle school that I went to, are going to be). There's no confirming that yet, though. Also, all of my cousins are going to be home for weeks (probably without virtual work, I may add), since Turkey closed every single school in the country, just like Italy. But you know what is certain? That every single Friday in the next few months, there will be a brand-new episode of The Clone Wars ' never-before-seen final season, Season 7, available on Disney+. That's right, COVID-19 may Today was a Friday, and I was at home with no work whatsoever for a "staff day", but unlike what you might think, I didn't watch Season 7 Episode 4, titled "Unf...

Image Credit: Disney/Lucasfilm via The Clone Wars S7E1 "The Bad Batch" Before I get into the review part of this post, I'm going to talk about real life casually for a bit, since all the posts I make this month are meant to have something to do with  my everyday life. So yesterday, I went to coffee house and saw many great performances by many talented people. When I came back from the show, my brother and I gathered around the TV and booted up Disney+ since it was the release date of a brand new episode of the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars 's final season, Season 7. The show was initially cancelled on Cartoon Network back in 2014. The creators of the show had finished episodes waiting to be released past that, but they informed fans that sadly, they would never get released in their fully-animated form, outside of a few of them being visible on the Star Wars website as not-fully-rendered clips. Season 5 was thus, the end. They did, however, release some Net...
