Star Wars: The Clone Wars continued on Disney Plus Friday, picking from last week's season 7 premiere. The second episode (called "A Distant Echo") finds Clone Captain Rex (Dee Bradley Baker) eager to investigate a signal from fellow clone Echo, who was believed to have been killed in season 3 episode Counterattack, on the core world Skako Minor in the period before Revenge of the Sith.
It seems the Separatists are using information only Echo would know to counter all of the Republic's battle strategies, so Rex reckons his "brother" is alive.
Jedi General Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter) joins the action in this episode, and we get a brief moment with two other movie characters. This four-episode arc was released in unfinished story reel form back in 2015, but the Disney Plus revival is letting us see the completed versions. Spoilers from here on out.
