Umbara Arc Review: The Clone Wars, Star Wars TV Done Right.

[@pinzstee]

Rex being a prime example of a clone developing as a person throughout the war adds an interesting layer of narrative nuance, having served along side Anakin Skywalker, of all people. That it was Anakin's extra flourish of "regular people" that helped spark a deeper than usual bond of trust, respect and friendship between the two. Therefore, by extension, Rex had a hard time turning on any Jedi, such as Krell.

Yes, and Anakin later also regained his own humanity. In this way, Rex is an interesting parallel with Anakin, so to speak.

Interesting connection with the Clones and the Replicants from Bladerunner! With their experiences shaping who they are, and their choices defining their humanity.

[@SubtextMining]

Yeah, The Replicants don't have empathy, but Roy Batty in his final moments decided to save Deckard's life, even though Deckard was trying got kill him. His life experiences shaped who he was, and in the end he developed a certain kind of understanding of humanity of his own, and with it a flicker of empathy and appreciation for the lives of others.

I feel like Anakin was sent offworld so Palpatine can give Order 66 a test run.

[@SubtextMining]

I can see that. I often wonder if Palpatine had some sort of idea of what was going on.
