20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

18. An Important Bird Is Present Throughout

Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 7 Darth Vader

As promised, that final scene in season seven's 'Victory and Death' episode also contained another detail some may not have fully understood the significance of during a first watch.

When Vader does look up to the sky after hearing a squawk from above, the former Anakin Skywalker sees a bird circling him. This isn't just any random buzzard, though, this is actually Morai, a bird who would show up in everything from Rebels, to The Mandalorian, to Ahsoka over the years.

This convor was said to be spiritually connected to The Daughter, one of the Mortis Gods that Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka interact with during The Clone Wars' Mortis arc. And following on from The Daughter's eventual death in those episodes, sacrificing herself to bring Tano back to life, Morai would begin showing up alongside Ahsoka.

Far from being a random occurrence, then, it seems this bird - which some even think is the manifestation of The Daughter, someone who evidently represented the light side, in a different form - was perhaps trying to guide Anakin back towards the light in this moment.
