Somber. If I had to describe the final episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it would be somber.

This is so cool!
After months of waiting, the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is about to premiere on Disney+. So before I review it, I want to reflect on my experience watching the series during its run.
