Breakdown of the episode "ARC Troopers"
This episode perfectly portrays all the themes of the Clones, and I discuss how it represents the Clones themes throughout the show, and hopefully in the future aswell.
(1/10)
Firstly, we see how Fives and Echo have grown from cadets, to independent soldiers. Rex's speech at the end about how they stood up, describes perfectly how they were forced to adapt. This is the thing that makes clones special, they're human and make their own choices.
The clones are portrayed as having feelings and we see how they view Kamino as home, and will give every last breath to save it, as that is all they've known. This humanising of the clones is what makes them special, and supieror to Droids and stormtroopers.

Now the cadets. Child soldiers is the harsh reality of war.
War wraps everyone into it, including children, who are forced to fend for their lives, family and home. They have no choice. Yet the cadets show outstanding courage.

This battle is personal for Rex and the clones, and one of the only times we see him fight for something which he truly cares about, which is an important steping stone in his arc about finding his purpose, which he discovers in Rebels, when he fights a war he cares about.
(5/10)
This episode shows how none of this would be possible without the clones. We see how even Anakin and Obi-Wan need them, as they are vital.
Firstly, their cunning plan was what singled out Grevious allowing Kenobi to distract him in a duel.

However, most significantly, it was the clones directly prevented Asajj from stealing the sample of the Clone template, durring her duel with Anakin. This shows how they stand up together, and represents the strong bond between the clones. #TogetherBrothers

99
He is a true soldier.
He gave everything, in order to help his brothers.
All he cared about was his family, the clones. And he found his purpose, when he realised he could help them. I like to think, he felt some inspiration from Heavy.
(8/10)
99 is the perfect representation of the clones. He shows the human and personality behind each helmet, and highlights how they are neglected. But, he stood up for what he cares about, his family. He is what makes clones special, their unique personality and heart.
(9/10)
The Bad Batch being called Clone Force 99, is a nice tie in.
I hope in the upcoming show, they touch upon the kindness of the clones, but also their neglect. Such as how it was represented through 99.
I really enjoyed this episode and making this thread, thanks for reading
