    The Best Episode of the Series

    Clone Wars has had many great episodes, but this one is above and beyond the best of the show. It is cinematic, mature, well-written, beautifully-animated, and features one of the best lightsaber duels in not only the show, but the entire franchise.

    The Lawless is the culmination of several ongoing storylines that go back to the second season of the show. In only 30 minutes, it manages to deliver a satisfying and explosive conclusion that several of the films weren't able to do in over two hours. It melds love, death, drama, action and atmosphere perfectly, making this episode a true testament to the skills of the writers.

    It is worth watching for any fan of the show or even any fan of Star Wars in general. Powerful, dark and gripping, it will make any doubter of Clone Wars realize how great the series can be.

    What the hell did I even watch

    This episode was epic in the epicest way combining drama emotion and action seamlessly and oh my god action it was scintillating. This is what star wars at its best should be. I don't understand how this episode is only 22 min yet it felt like a movie this is the best clone wars episode upto this point.

    THIS IS STAR WARS!

    Before the final season this was my favorite episode! An action packed, emotional thrillride that never lets go from beginning to end! The lightsaber duel is EPIC and the best of the series, along with Ahsoka vs Maul!

    With so much disapointing Star Wars material out there, i can safely say that it is not the case with this episode and show!

    Amazing 10/10.

    Still the best in the series

    The revelations, action, drama and legacy of this singular episode and arc remain unparalleled in my mind. Even with the near perfection of the show's true finale now released, The Lawless stands alone as the one episode in the series that truly feels it has surpassed the rest all its own. This episode, and its larger arc, is the show's finest as we see something so totally unprecedented and seeming unstoppable swiftly ended. Leaving everyone wanting more.

    Perfection

    Literally the most perfect, emotional and action packed episodes of the clone wars. And damn, that ending lightsaber fight was epic...

    • Quotes

      Darth Maul: Your noble flaw is a weakness shared by you...

      [lifts Satine into the air with a force choke]

      Darth Maul: ... And your Duchess. You should have chosen the dark side, master Jedi. Your emotions betray you. Your fear, and yesss... your anger! Let your anger deepen your hatred!

      Satine Kryze: Don't listen to him, Obi!

      Savage Opress: Quiet!

      [Maul indirectly tells his brother to let Satine and Kenobi speak]

      Obi-Wan Kenobi: You can kill me, but you will never destroy me. It takes strength to resist the dark side. Only the weak embrace it.

      Darth Maul: It is more powerful than you know.

      Obi-Wan Kenobi: And those who oppose it are more powerful than you'll ever be. I know where you're from, I've been to your village. I know the decision to join the dark side wasn't yours. The Nightsisters made it for you.

      Darth Maul: [cuts off Kenobi midsentence] SILENCE! You think you know me? It was I who languished for years thinking of nothing but you. Nothing but this moment. And now, the perfect tool for my vengeance is in front of us. I never planned on killing you, but I will make you share my pain, Kenobi.

      [Maul launches Satine midair forward to impale her with his Dark Saber, while Death Watch soldiers beat down Kenobi, meanwhile Kenobi agonizingly watches Satine die]

      Satine Kryze: [Last words] Remember my dear Obi-Wan, I've loved you always... I always will.

    • Crazy credits
      A dedication to Ian Abercrombie (former voice actor of Palpatine/Sidious) appears at the beginning, in blue words saying "in memory of Ian Abercrombie".
