Some Clone Wars thoughts

I’ve been watching Clone Wars more Saturdays than not since October, and despite it sometimes being simplistic I’ve really been enjoying it a lot, from the extended multiweek storylines(appropriate, since Star Wars was originally inspired by this kind of serial), to the breadth of the galaxy we’re getting a look at, to the nods and references to famous movies and current politics that appeal to older viewers, to a female character whom clearly a lot of work and development has been invested; they’ve never put that level of sheer effort into a female character in the movies. Though last week I discovered the downside; I’d gotten invested without noticing it and was more anxious over the outcome of the season finale than I’d been over the outcome of a fictional story I think since the final Harry Potter came out. ( I was actually terrified they were going to kill Ashoka... )
