Star Wars The Clone Wars: The Siege of Mandalore

The first episode of the Siege of Mandalore just dropped today on Disney+! Old Friends Not Forgotten was possibly the greatest episode I've seen in the show thus far and the first of the epic four part series finale that will air over the next four weeks.

We saw Ahsoka return and given her old lightsabers. However, their crystals have been changed from green to blue. She then led Commander Rex, Bo-Katan Kryze, 332nd Company of the 501st Legion, and the Mandalore Resistance consisting of the Nite Owls on their invasion of Mandalore. Prime Minister Almec now has his own epic suit of Mandalorian armor and Ahsoka is seemingly captured by Maul at the end of the episode.

I loved the episode and I can't wait to see the rest of the Siege. I'm projecting Almec and Rook Kast will both die in action based off of us not seeing them in any stories after the Siege (i.e. Star Wars Rebels) and Gar Saxon becoming Viceroy of Mandalore after the Fall of the Republic.
