** This is used to dramatic effect in the story: Ahsoka tells Obi-Wan that Maul mentioned Darth Sidious, a name Kenobi last heard from Count Dooku when he was captured on Geonosis during ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. Unfortunately, Anakin killed him aboard the ''Invisible Hand'', meaning they can't find out any more about Sidious from Dooku. Viewers paying attention will note that Palpatine, who ''is'' Sidious, goaded Anakin to do this in ''Revenge of the Sith''.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Given that this arc represents the GrandFinale of ''The Clone Wars'' and explicitly takes place during the galaxy-shattering events of ''Revenge of the Sith'', it goes out of its way to do certain things differently from the rest of the series. For one thing, none of the episodes open with the ''Clone Wars'' theme; each episode has its own opening music, starting with the classic ''Star Wars'' theme. For another thing, only the first episode has Tom Kane recapping the events of the war.

All the remaining clones onboard the ''Venator starcruiser'' hunt both Ahsoka and Rex for defying Order 66 with clone Commander Jesse demoting Rex to captain. While Rex and Ahsoka fend off the clones, Maul escapes on a shuttle Ahsoka intended to leave on with Rex. As the Star Destroyer ship drops out of hyperdrive and crashes into a moon, the duo escape on a star fighter as the clones on the ship perish in the crash. Ahsoka buries the clones on the moon and leaves one of her lightsabers there before leaving with Rex.

Years pass and some soldiers of the Galactic Empire scout the moon with Anakin, now as Darth Vader, finding the ship's wreckage along with Ahsoka's lightsaber. He leaves with the weapon in hand, with his back facing a clone trooper's cracked helmet, ending the Clone Wars and the series as a whole.

Arriving at Mandalore, Ahsoka and the arriving clones find it under the rule of the Shadow Collective with the Jedi coming face-to-face with Darth Maul but everyone meets Bo-Katan and her group who aid them in pressing the attack on Mandalore's current oppressive government. Following a meeting with Kenobi, Ahsoka and her troops agree to capture Maul to find out more about Chancellor Palpatine's true identity and motives. The Republic army helps out any Mandalorian civilians while pushing back Maul and Commander Saxon's forces as Ahsoka engages Maul who declares that Skywalker will fall to the Dark Side and he will kill him before that happens to become Sidious' apprentice once again. Disbelieving Maul, Ahsoka defeats and captures him while Saxon and his troops are also defeated.

Ahsoka and her accompanying clone army depart Mandalore but while in hyperspace, Ahsoka feels a massive disturbance in the Force just as the clones and Rex aboard are ordered to execute [[ThePurge Order 66]]. Taking advice from a resisting Rex to find Fives' files, Ahsoka frees Maul as a distraction and activates three astromech droids to read a report on him before finding Rex's message about the clones' inhibitor chip responsible for responding to Order 66. Finding Rex, she knocks him out and relieves him of his inhibitor chip.
