The four-part "Clone Wars" arc where the younglings go to Ilum to get their lightsaber crystals, then are attacked by Hondo and have to rescue Ahsoka from him, and then him from Grievous, I had a decent recollection of, though I remembered some of it more and some less.
The scene where the lightsaber droid voiced by David Tennant looks for parts is very reminiscent of the scene in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" when Ollivander looks for a wand for Harry. I'm sure the resemblance wasn't coincidental.
David Tennant, who of course was the Tenth Doctor, played Barty Crouch, Jr., in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." John Hurt, who played Ollivander, was the War Doctor. Too bad he's passed away, or he could've done the "Doctor Who," "Star Wars," "Harry Potter" trifecta, too.
Anyway, this arc holds up quite well, just as the previous Onderon arc did. Season 5 started strongly, and it finished (what was originally the end of the series) strongly, too.
