The Best Opening Quotes From 'The Clone Wars'
The Clone Wars is one of the best Star Wars shows out there, maybe even the best Star Wars show. It makes the Star Wars universe so much bigger, and also brings prequel characters to the forefront. Another thing that makes The Clone Wars so great is the quotes, or morals, at the beginning of each episode. Each one relates to the episode in some way, but also relates to Star Wars in a bigger picture as well. These are my favorite opening quotes from The Clone Wars.

One of the highlights of the Phantom Menace is the performance of Liam Neeson as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. His stern and confident demeanor, paired with his paternal wisdom in dealing with those in his care, give the impression of a sage samurai. He's also extremely wise in the Force, seeing past the dogma of the Jedi Order and understanding the true nature of the Living and Cosmic Force. He was also the first Jedi to discover the secret to preserving consciousness beyond death. After he was struck down by Darth Maul during the Battle of Naboo, Qui-Gon returned in The Clone Wars, appearing to Obi-Wan on Mortis and guiding Yoda to Dagobah, starting the Grand Master down his own path to immortality.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a divisive addition to the Skywalker Saga. While that statement could be said about any film in the sequel trilogy, The Rise of Skywalker seems to have left the worst taste in fans’ mouths. It is also no secret that the film was marred by several production problems. The film went through two directors and multiple rewrites of the script, and they had to piece together Leia’s role in the movie based on unused footage of Carrie Fisher. Needless to say, there was a lot that did not make the final cut of the film. That is apparent in the unreleased new concept art for the film.
