10 Best Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episodes

6. ARC Troopers

Star Wars The Clone Wars Maul Emperor
Lucasfilm

ARC Troopers is the second episode in a Season 3 story arc which brings back the Domino Squad. The first episode, Clone Cadets, takes place before Rookies, and shows the squad bonding and training. ARC Troopers takes place after Rookies, when Fives and Echo help defend Kamino, their home world, from a Separatist invasion.

ARC Troopers shines with the character of 99, a defective clone who works in sanitation. Desperately wanting to be a soldier like his brothers, 99 helps defend the younger clones, and sacrifices himself to obtain more weapons for Fives and Echo in one of the most heartbreaking moments in the entire series.

Additionally, ARC Troopers is filled with awesome action sequences, from Fives, Echo, and 99 versus the battle droids to an Anakin/Ventress lightsaber duel. The stakes are high in each of these battles, since the Separatists are coming for the source of all clones. ARC Troopers puts the "Wars" in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
