Tonight's the night everyone.

The end of the Clone Wars era, after almost 16 years. I thought it would be nice to write a little something for it, since it's so important to me.

The Clone Wars was the show that brought me into Star Wars, which is now one of the most important aspects of my life. I first saw it when I was 6 years old, at my friend's birthday party. I didn't know very many people there, so I was sitting alone for most of the party. My friend's mom noticed, so she put a show on for me— the Clone Wars, season 3, episode 22.

After that, I became obsessed. Later that week, I found a few of those Star Wars kids books, with simple sentences and arrows describing each aspect of a picture. My aunt also lent me her copy of the Lego Star Wars Complete Saga game for my Wii. My favourite levels were that of the Phantom Menace. Although she insisted that I wouldn't like the movie, it is still my favourite to this day (although I will admit that the dialogue was less than perfect).

When I was around 7, my father and I watched the live-action films.The prequels became my favourite films, despite all their flaws, and my favourite character was Commander Cody, although he only had moments of screen time in Revenge of the Sith. Before I even knew he was in the Clone Wars, he was my favourite.

After finishing the films, I returned to the Clone Wars. While Cody remained (and still is) my favourite clone, I quickly developed a bit of a crush on Rex, which led to my realization that I was queer. Soon enough, my list of favourite characters was overthrown by clones— Cody, Rex, Echo, Kix, Tech, and so many more.

I still remember the day I watched the finale of the Clone Wars. May 4th, 2020. I was in my room on my computer, and sat in the dark for far too long after the credits finished. I'm embarrassed to admit how long I cried that night. But, despite my sadness, I was happier that I got to experience it. When the Bad Batch was released, I was overjoyed— but I knew that it too would one day end.

And that day is tomorrow! I'm so sad that it's ending, but I'm also so happy to be here for this. Star Wars, notably the Clone Wars, has gotten me through so much, and I'm so thankful for it being here. The clones existed, exist, and will continue to exist in my mind forever, and even if the era is over, it will continue to live on. Thank you so much to the actors, producers, directors, animators, and everyone else that made these shows possible. Thank you to Dee Bradley Baker for being such an inspiration to me (and for the autograph last week!).

Good luck for tomorrow soldiers. May the Force be with you.

THIS. This is my Roman Empire.

Rex breaking up in front of Ahsoka.

A person that he hasn't seen in months.

His commander. The only person he fully trusts at the moment. He shows his transparent self for the first time.

Not only to her, but to us, the people watching the show.

Clones are bred with a sole purpose, told they are expendable, and if they die fighting, most wouldn't care.

They are human, but they aren't treated as such.

Hidden beneath their masks there's people. That's what we see when she removes his helmet. She's telling him its okay to feel how he is doing at the moment.

And this is the breaking point for many. Rex is hurting, he's mourning, His brothers, the other soldiers, even himself have been used for all this time. Manipulated into fighting a war that was lost from the start.

All the deaths, all the used soldiers, brainwashed... It hurts him as it hurts everyone else. Even more as they are his family.

He was saved, but his brothers can't be.

Met one of the greatest inspirations for my work today: Dee Bradley Baker himself!!

Was able to take a selfie with him, get his autographs, get a photo op, give him some of my prints as a gift, and best of all, got to chat a bit! He really is such a kind person, and he really made my entire year!
