Trivia
One of four previously unreleased and incomplete episodes which were never finished due the the cancellation of the show. The animation is shown in a basic form which the LucasFilm animation team use to edit the story before it is finalized and completed. Supervising director Dave Filoni promised fans that some story arcs would be shown even after the cancellation of the series to complete some on going story lines. These were The Bad Batch and the Utapau arc.

Goofs
When Rex hears Echo's CT number, he states that he doesn't believe it. Less than 20 minutes earlier, he was asserting to Cody that Echo was still alive, even noting that such an assertion would likely make the Jedi (and possibly Cody) question his sanity.

Quotes
Narrator: The battle for Anaxes! One of the Republic's largest shipyards is under attack from Admiral Trench's Separatist forces. Jedi Generals Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker lead a two-pronged assault on the ground and in the air. But after weeks of heated battle and mounting losses, the Republic's grip on Anaxes begins to slip away... .

Alternate versions
This four part story arc was originally released as unfinished "Story Reels" that were first shown on April 17, 2015 at Celebration Anaheim, and then released on StarWars.com on April 29, 2015.

Best season starter yet!

I've been a pretty big fan of Clone Wars for a long time, and I've been DYING for Clone Wars to come back for SO LONG. I was a little afraid that this first episode of the least essential of the three story arcs we'll get this season would be a bit underwhelming, but boy was I wrong. This was the best starter to a season this show has ever had, and if the season starts out this strong, I have so much hope for whats to come. We get to see more of Rex, one of the best Star Wars characters ever, as well as a bunch of new clones that I already like a lot, with a super fun story. The realism of the war continues to work, the action scenes are super entertaining, and a revelation that made my jaw drop and will wake me up super early next Friday to see how this story is going to continue. Its amazing how much story they can put into 22 minutes and still not make it feel rushed. Highly recommended to any fan of The Clone Wars, and I highly recommend the show to anyone who hasn't yet seen it.
