"Tipping Points" (Season 5) This episode caps off the first major Season 5 story arc, with Ahsoka lending a hand to a group of rebels trying to liberate the planet Onderon from their corrupt, Separatist-loyal king.
This is also one of the first times where the series really highlighted the true nature of the outwardly benevolent Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. And like the best Godzilla movies, these episodes have a lot to say about the toll of war and the unintended consequences of seeking ever bigger and more powerful weapons. These two episodes bring a novel monster movie feel to the series, particularly in the second half as the beast runs amok on Coruscant. Instead, that weapon winds up awakening a fearsome, nearly indestructible monster. In "The Zillo Beast," the Republic field-tests a new weapon it believes can bring a swift end to the war. These two episodes - "The Zillo Beast" and "The Zillo Beast Strikes Back" - are fun and unique outliers for the series, as they're basically a Godzilla movie disguised as a Star Wars adventure.
