So you can very much see how in broadcast order, this episode flowed straight from the season premiere which showed Echo, Fives, and the others going through training, plus introducing 99. And you may have noticed they didn't appear at all in Season 2, because the episode Rookies in Season 1 was meant to just be its own one-off story, but when everyone liked them so much it was eventually decided to bring them back. And it's too bad only Echo and Fives survived that episode, as the others definitely could have done more too.

I wonder if you will watch the other shows like bad batch, rebels and maybe re watch some of mando.

Seeing what happens in The Clone Wars and then revisiting Revenge of the Sith is such a profoundly different experience that really can’t be put into words. You are correct on that. The dynamic/rivalry between Ventress and Grievous is a highlight of this episode. It’s like the saying goes, "To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best." In terms of Ventress’s popularity, she is a very popular character, I very much like her a lot, she simply isn’t as widely talked about as much as other villains and/or Dark Side characters like, for example, Darth Vader and/or Darth Maul are. Brings us to 99, once I saw your reaction to his first episode, I knew that this one was really going to make you cry. It hurt a lot that I couldn’t warn you about his fate, even though I know that by keeping quiet it means that the reaction will be unspoiled, it still hurts. The first time seeing his final scenes was very emotional for me as well. You mention the dilemma of rooting for Ventress and then reminding yourself that no, you don’t want her to succeed because it will mean bad things for characters that you care for is something I’m dealing with all the time with Star Wars. As I keep saying, Darth Sidious is my all time favorite character. He’s to me what Rick Grimes is to you. So, I’m constantly rooting for him and am happy whenever he achieves part of his grand plan. At the same time, I have to remind myself, usually in the form of the voice in my head yelling at me, “Tom, do you maybe see a problem with this scenario?” that him succeeding is a very bad thing and will cause a lot of pain and suffering for many characters that I love. I’m actually uncertain as to what exactly would have happened had Ventress succeeded in this episode, though given what I know of Sidious and the resources at his disposal, I do have one or two thoughts on the matter, which I won’t go into detail here due to spoilers. So, once you said that this would be the last reaction to The Clone Wars prior to your move, I thought that this was a perfect episode to stop at, for now. The whole reaction to this episode, and a few other recent ones were so perfect, and will go such a long way of tiding me over during the pause of you reacting to this show. Again, I say that I hope your move will go smoothly, and that I very much look forward to your future reactions to The Clone Wars.
