After many years I finally decided to watch the whole movies and series in chronological order. I once watched this series till the end of season 6, but re-watched every single episode again, right after watching Episode 1&2 movie.
So the end of season 6 comes a little sudden, and I think we all know why. But season 7 really put me off, even though I had high hopes, and expected a decent conclusion of the series and characters. But the season already starts off weird, making existing characters look incompetent in a couple ways and the new characters also seem are very shallow.
First off let's start with the two clone veterans Rex and Cody. They both have a very unprofessional way of talking in this season. And especially Rex used to be a very competent leader of the troops in battle, but somehow it now feels like he is kind of insecure and lost his ability to shine with his expertise and talent to adapt fast. I get it, that their new brothers in arms are not their regular troopers, so they both have little authority, but still they even talk and act very different.
Even Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu both have their very weird moments. Maybe it's just the bad dialogues, but these well established characters are not acting the same. It's barely noticable and maybe unfair nitpicking, but once seen, you cannot unsee these major differences in their characteristics and ways of dealing with situations.
And what can I say about the new guys. Well, let me put it this way: The regular clones are basically the same, but all with special talents and minor differences in characteristics and training of course. The new guys on the other hand are using plain archetypes and while one of them feels like an Easter-Egg joke, another one basically has super powers like a retarded Hulk. Sure they are the Bad Batch, basically faulty, but these doesn't feel faulty, but just a forced change, so the kids can pick their favorite clones easier.
It looks like Clone Wars, but watching the whole season 1-6 to the end within a short time span, you will instantly notice the huge difference of these characters within the first few minutes of season 7.
