The Star Wars films frequently ends on frames of hope, as do other animated Lucasfilm works like Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars Resistance, and losses come with optimism for renewal. The scene then fades forward to the inevitable vultures of the Empire and Darth Vader investigating the wreckage. The hush over the scene signifies that Ahsoka will move forward with resolve even as she carries guilt. In her ashen white mourning cloak, Ahsoka stares sullenly at the burial mounds and lets go of a remnant of her Jedi Master's gift. A wide shot memorializes stolen individuality, the burial mounds pinpointed with each soldiers' distinctive helmets, including Jesse's Republic cog-imprinted one. Time fades like mist slipping through the fingers. The final section of the episode is a blizzard of visual artistry with the dialogue-free intensity of a Genndy Tartakovsky's best works.
But even though Ahsoka and Rex survive, it does not alleviate the loss. Ahsoka and Rex manage to hold onto their morale in their steadfastness to not kill their clone brothers. Under Nathaniel Villanueva's direction, this whole escapade built upon dire emotional stakes – they can't save everyone. However, the urgency of a capsizing starship prevents any time to salvage the last visages of humanity in the clones. During a confrontation where Rex attempts to reason with the clones, the subtle slumps in a helmeted Jesse suggests he may have been fighting his conditioning as well. It escalates into a situation where Rex makes the heartbreaking vow to shoot his own brothers if it means their survival, with Ahsoka noticing his tear-stricken sorrow beneath his helmet.
However, Ahsoka's previous decision to free a murderous wild card like Maul (Sam Witwer) rains down an avalanche of consequences as the latter rampages through the troopers and sabotages the ship, sending it to be ensnared in the gravitational pull of a moon. Ahsoka and Rex commit themselves to stun instead of shooting down their pursuers, perhaps to form a plan later to save them all. Due to the biochips planted in their brains, all clones are under Order 66 to execute Ahsoka, and by extension, Rex, since he is disobeying the command.Īlthough I contend the last episode may have better explored these dilemmas, the mounting human costs are piling on front and center. The previous episode ended on a cliffhanger with the clones breaking into the med-bay to execute Ahsoka and Rex.
