Star Wars: The Clone Wars Revisited – Part 20: Finally, some shades of grey

One showing the return of Fives and Echo, while the other coming back to the blue skinned race of Pantorans, who are unfortunately not the Chiss.

Sometimes I forget to link this, but if you want to see the other parts of this series, then the link’s right here.
