Carnage of Krell

Jesse, Fives, Rex, Dogma, Tup, Waxer Each and every one of these clones had their chance to shine in this episode. This is my favourite episode of the clone wars period. The 501st Vs 212 was emotional and unexpected. It was visually beautiful, had some dark moments, memorable moments, and has definitely left it's mark on me.

It pretty much sums up everything I love about the clone wars. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and has you on then brink of tears. Pong Krell is a meanacing character. Each and every clone is amazing in this episode, from Rex, Waxer, Yup, Jesse and Fives.

This whole arc in general was perfect.

I don't get why this story gets so much hig reviews. I found it quite boring at times with to many useless battles. Could have easily been a two or three parter. But this episode ended the story in a great way.

This Umbara Arc is one of the best arc in Clone Wars period. I loved it the complex and layered shades of every character and how the story unfolds was scintillating to watch.

There is so much to love here. A story focused on clones is always a delight because we don't get to see a lot of their personality in the prequels. Krell is such an interesting character to watch. He pushes the clones to their limit and it causes the clones to discuss what they should do: follow Krell or try their own plan. That is so interesting to see. You should watch clone wars for these episodes alone. MUST WATCH.

There is complex depth added to the overall story of Star Wars by episodes showing clones as thinking, feeling, independent beings who sometimes go against orders. It makes the Order 66 story even more shocking and heartbreaking.

This episode makes fascinating additions to this complexity. It engages us with them as people with full human depths of feeling and conscience.

A story with depth, superb character drama and action. Krell is a great character who enacts great lightsaber battles.

My rating: 10/10.
