"SHATTERED" was the best word to describe this episode and that makes it a fitting title. Darth Maul has been captured. The Mandalorians have caged Maul in a device from decades old when Mandalorians had to contain force-wielders. It was believed Dutchess Satine outlawed them, but Bo Katan claims "this is the last one". This was very reminiscent of Silence of The Lambs- even going as far to put Maul in a muzzle. We get an extended scene from "Revenge of The Sith" with a hologram call from the Jedi Council. Mace Windu updates the council on Obi-Wan engaging General Grevious and expresses concern with senator Palpatine. When Ahsoka asks for more information she is SHADED by Windu saying this information is only privy to Jedi and not "citizens". Everyone hangs up except for Master Yoda who senses Ahsoka has more to share, but Ahsoka does not share and ends the call. ORDER 66. Ahsoka and her fleet of the 501st leave Mandalore on course to Coruscant. While on the main deck, Ahsoka senses something.... It's Anakin. He's in pain. Suffering. Something terrible has happened. She goes to Rex who has just received a call from none other that Darth Sideous. His body is telling him no, but his mind is telling him yes. Through tears Rex express what little connection he has left with Ahsoka to go find "Fives", only to become overwhelmed by the order and proceeds to attack Ahsoka along with the rest of the clones. Ahsoka, confused and afraid, disarms Rex and flees through the ceiling. Rex orders the clones to go execute Maul and search for Ahsoka. Ahsoka finds a group of astromech droids including R7 and they hack into the Jedi archive mainframe only to discover what Rex alluded to- a video recording of Rex talking about Fives having the clone inhibitor chips having a secret purpose to kill all the jedi.... Ahsoka frees Maul, but not to form an alliance, only to have him be a distraction. Ahsoka devises a plan to trap Rex and remove the inhibitor chip. The droids fix the doors around Rex and they knock him out. R7 scans Rex, but cannot find any signs of an inhibitor chip. Ahsoka grabs Rex's face and repeats "I'm one with the force, the force is with me." Rex starts to repeat the phrase and the microchip is discovered. Meanwhile... Darth Maul wrecks shop in a hallway Vader-Rogue-One-style. He decapitates two clones and chops one's arm off! The clones are breach the door Ahsoka, Rex, and the droids are in. They open fire on Ahsoka and just in the knick of time- Rex awakens with a clear head and opens fire on the clones. Rex is back! The episode ends with him revealing that every clone across the galaxy has been ordered to take down the Jedi. TO BE CONTINUED....

After 12 years of of Star Wars: The Clone Wars we are finally witnessing the start of "The Siege of Mandalore"! This episode opens unlike any other episode of the series with "A Lucas Limited Production" slate. Then... the John Williams main title movie theme plays with a new red clone wars logo popping up on screen and shrinking into the deep darkness of space and the small screen. One adjective comes to mind when describing this opening: "Glorious". The recap commences and we learn where all the Jedi are. The council has sent multiple Jedi across the galaxy to fight separatist forces. We even get a brief shot of a young Padawan Kanan with his master Depa Billaba over hologram.  We cut to the planet of Yurana where a battle between the 501st and droid army is stuck on a bridge. A droid rocket is fired and about to annihilate Commander Cody, until a gorgeous blue blade deflects the rocket and we see none other than Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kenobi takes cover, struggling to think of a way to advance their forces. Enter Anakin Skywalker, pouring with Jedi swagger- dodging blaster fire left and right like they are high school dodgeballs. Anakin has a plan and fakes a surrender to draw the droid leader out. Once the leader reveals himself Anakin force pulls him and beheads the clank-er! Then Captain Rex and a battalion of jetpack clones surface from underneath the bridge to finish the droids off! The battle has seemingly been won and the Jedi receive an incoming transmission from the clone star destroyer. Anakin and Obi-Wan fly to the ship and find Ahsoka Tano and Bokatan over hologram. -A reunion that fans have waited six years for!- Ahsoka and Bokatan reveal they know where Darth Maul is and ask for the Republic's assistance in "taking him out". They set a course for Anakin/Obi Wan's star destroyer and the reunion occurs once again BUT IN PERSON, but there's no time to catch up. Every moment that passes is another moment Maul could slip out of their grasp! Bokatan requests Republic support, but Obi Wan says he needs permission from the council. There isn't enough time. While Obi Wan goes to speak with the council Anakin and Ahsoka talk. Every clone that passes salutes Ahsoka as "commander" even though technically she is no longer a commander.  Anakin leads Ahsoka into Captain Rex's clone barracks and every trooper has painted their helmet to match Ahsoka's Orange/White facial look. Obi Wan returns and reveals the General Grievous has invaded Courescant to kidnap the Chancellor. He grants Ahsoka and Bokatan the fleet but makes Rex the commander. Anakin gives Ahsoka two lightsabers and they exchange what could be their final interaction with each other until..... well that's another story for another time... Bokatan, Ahsoka, Rex and their clone fleet invade Mandalore and the Siege begins! Bokatan takes the throne room while Ahsoka searches for Maul. Bokatan learns "IT'S A TRAP" and Maul wanted to draw the Jedi to Mandalore... but the wrong Jedi came. Ahsoka searches the sewers of Mandalore for Maul only to have her surrounding troop quickly killed (like in a horror movie), and she is surrounded by Mandalorians draped in Maul red armor.  The episode ends with the Sith lord revealing himself to Ahsoka saying, "I was hoping for Kenobi, why are you here?"

“The Search For Truth Begins With Belief" and that was certainly the case with Rex and Echo in this week's episode of The Clone Wars! Rex is putting all of his energy into finding Echo. Anakin gets Rex to keep watch as he video-calls Padme who appears to have a slight baby-bump. Padme gives Anakin advice on standing by Rex in his hour(s) of need. Anakin, Rex, and Squad 99 fly to the moon Shako Minor. After landing Anakin is immediately taken by a flying dragon animal native to this moon. Hunter grapples onto the dragon to try and rescue Anakin but ends up falling near a native camp. The rest of the squad catches up with Hunter and they infiltrate the camp but cause not violence. Tech converses with Wat Tambor and the two groups come to a mutual understanding and get Anakin released. Our heroes then infiltrate the separatist tower where Echo's signal is coming from only to have Tech and Rex discover Echo is alive... sort of... as he is tied up to several tubes and wires.
