REVIEW
In his FOUR STAR review, our reviewer Max said this about the premiere “I am a little spoiler-heavy in my review, but it’s only because I am so pleased with this premiere. All the right Star Wars notes were hit, and I can’t complain about it.” Be sure to check out his full review here.
The final season looks to be sending Clone Force 99 out on a high. Asajj Ventress, Cad Bane, Fennec Shand, and Emperor Palpatine join the team for the final season. And what will transpire will have ramifications for the entire galaxy struggling against the Empire’s tyranny.
