First off, Season 7 of the Clone Wars? Seriously good stuff. Like, REALLY good. It’s got the Bad Batch, Ahsoka being a total badass, and the Siege of Mandalore which, I gotta say, is the *reason* you wanna be watching this season in the first place. Trust me.
So, about Episode 9… It’s part of the Ahsoka’s Journey arc. Now, I’m not gonna spoil it for you (much), but Ahsoka’s hanging out with some, uh, *interesting* characters at this point. It’s a bit of a departure from the usual Clone Trooper action, but it sets up the finale *so* well. I think it’s importnat to watch it.
Where to watch it for free? Okay, this is where things get tricky. Obviously, Disney+ is the legit way, like, the *only* totally legal way. But let’s be real, sometimes you just wanna watch something without forking over the cash, right? I get it.
You *might* find it floating around on some less-than-reputable streaming sites. I’m not endorsing that, okay? Just saying… they exist. Google is your friend (and maybe your enemy, depending on what kinda search results you get lol). Just be careful, like, REALLY careful. Lots of dodgy stuff out there. Use a VPN, maybe? And definitely don’t click on anything that looks even slightly sus.
Cartoon Network’s website is also listed, but I think you need a cable subscription for that these days, which kinda defeats the purpose of watching it “free.” Amazon and Vudu? Yeah, you gotta pay for those too.
Honestly, if you can swing it, just get Disney+. It’s worth it for Clone Wars alone, especially Season 7. Plus, you get all the other Star Wars stuff, Marvel, Pixar… it’s a good deal, even if it means yet another subscription.
