Star Wars: Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 12 - 4 Ups & 3 Downs From "Victory And Death"

7. Down - A Self-Contained Story 

Part of the joy of Star Wars, both the main series films as well as Clone Wars, is getting to explore new and exciting worlds, literally. In almost every episode of Clone Wars, they visit a new planet and discover new natives, landscapes, and traditions.

So naturally, the final episode of Clone Wars takes place...entirely on a transport ship?

This is not inherently a flaw, since Ahsoka and Rex's escape from the ship drives the entire plot, but the episode seems to forget about the bigger world. At no point do they mention any other location or event in the Star Wars universe, making it feel like the Ahsoka's transport-ship universe.

Obviously, the episode needs to be somewhat self-contained so as not to coincide with the simultaneous plot of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, but the previous episodes worked well when they explicitly set themselves around the third prequel. This episode still feels parallel with Revenge of the Sith, but it never intersects with it.
