Not a fan of this. Love what Gendy does with the scale of the action as well as how well the sound design is here, but the overall product stays limited in its format: being a bridge for Episode III. Not so much character progression, not much story in general. Also, kind of goes against the overall point of the prequels. While they showed the jedis in action, George Lucas was constantly critical of its methods, being the reason why Anakin even considers the dark side in the first place. But Gendy has fun, considers them honorable and by the end neither makes a base or continues any of the ideas explore by Lucas in his films.
There’s only one point regarding Anakin becoming a white savior that makes some good irony of what he will become, the literal oppressor of this kind of alien creatures. Really wished that the show followed more that route.
Anyway, Mace Windu destroys an army of droids alone in one of the most over the top and satisfactory sequences ever animated, so what do I know?
