10 Best Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episodes

10. Revival (Season 5, Episode 1)

In the season four finale, Obi-Wan Kenobi comes face to face with his old nemesis, Darth Maul. Only he's not a Sith Lord anymore, but a free agent after power, shunned by his old master and broken by the events of The Phantom Menace.

In Revival, Obi-Wan and Jedi Master Adi Gallia are sent after Maul and his vicious brother Savage Opress, who have taken control of a small band of pirates on the planet Florrum. There, Obi-Wan and Gallia duel with the brothers and cross paths with reluctant ally Hondo Ohnaka, a pirate lord who has a colourful past with Kenobi. In the fight, Gallia is killed by Opress and Obi-Wan is forced to take them both on alone.

It's a striking episode, full of exciting duels and offering an insight into just how strong a Jedi Obi-Wan is, as he defeats Opress and manages to escape Maul once more.

Outside of the duels, Revival also sees the rare death of a Master Jedi and sets in motion the brothers' eventual arrival on Mandalore, which would become a major aspect of the show's final season.
