The Clone Wars S7E11 Shattered

We all know what's about to go down in this episode yet the tension was so palpable! The dirge-like music was perfect!  For me the most fascinating thing in the episode was the comment from Bo Katan to Ahsoka regarding the containment unit Maul was locked in,

"A relic from a bygone era when Mandolorians had to imprison you force wielding maniacs"

This episode could've gone by the numbers but Filoni added one little conversation between Ahsoka and  Bo Katan regarding the containment unit Maul was put in that opened up a whole new avenue to the Jedi/Mandolorian War from the Old Republic! This one conversation can now open up pathways to shows regarding Tarre Visla and the Jedi/Mando War from ages past!
The conversation between Ahsoka and Rex was made more emotional because we all knew what was about to go down, the visual cues were subtle but they were all around, when Ahsoka and Rex walked onto the bridge of the Republic Cruiser it absolutely felt OT with the officers in the bridge pits, and the hallways and detention cell Maul was put in felt so similar to Leia's in ANH!
Even with my knowledge from Star Wars Rebels I was still on edge throughout the episode with Ahsoka fighting off the Clones sudden attack.
Hearing the audio from RotS overlaid when Ahsoka is standing on the bridge when they make the jump had such emotional impact, and reminded me of Yoda's reaction on Kashyyyk when he felt the numerous Jedi falling after Sidious executed order 66.
Now on to my boy Maul, I absolutely loved watching Maul pulling a Vader even though it's actually the other way around...



Sadly the show will truly end next Monday May the 4th.
So with that I wish all of you an early May the 4th be with you!
