Cad Bane's tale is a strong contender for the best of the series so far, up alongside Dooku's arc. From his background as a kid on the streets to finally putting on the iconic hat, it's interesting to see what led him to be the character we know and love from the Clone Wars. And even despite knowing how it ends up, they still manage to get some good tension into the finale, which is no easy feat.

This block proves to be an absolute masterpiece. As incredibly well written as it is, it can be difficult to watch at times, when the parallels being drawn between what is happening in the fictional Star Wars galaxy and our own are getting clearer with each passing moment.
