Orders

Fives shows the heart that makes the ARC Troopers what they are. #duty

Here the full extent of the plan of Order 66 is revealed and the plot of how the clone Fives tries to warn the Jedi is brought to a powerful conclusion.

We see how Sidious cleverly undermines and twists things and how his plan has been in place all along. It adds greatly to the heartbreak of Order 66 bringing more depth and more logic to the storyline.

One bit I was slightly perplexed by was Palpatine risking letting Fives escape and tell the Jedi about things. Of course, Palpatine by that stage has the evidence and knows he can portray Fives as infected but at the time I thought it was far more risky than just killing him.

Anyway, Palpatine keeps to a clever and devious plan and this arc was a great addition with a dark and powerful climax in this episode.

My rating: 9.5/10.

The best thing that clone wars ever did was humanize the clones and make them deep characters. Through the show, there has been a lot of development in 2 clones in particular (rex and fives) who have been the centre of many arcs. This final arc with fives is a brilliant one where he even discovers palpatine's identity before a single jedi. A true testament to how undermined the clones are by the jedi and how clever they can be if given the opportunity.
