The Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 2 finale is the final two episodes of the second season in the Cartoon Network animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The twenty-first and twenty-second episodes, entitled "R2 Come Home" and "Lethal Trackdown", were first aired on 30 April 2010 and attracted an average of 2.756 million viewers during the original broadcast.[1] The finale is significant for ending "with twin fandom bangs, courtesy of Boba Fett and a mammoth beast inspired by Godzilla."[2] Fett's entrance in the series commemorates the 30 year anniversary of the character's original introduction in the 1980 film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.[3]
Plot
Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu are trapped in the crumbling ruins of a crashed ship while searching for survivors, and only R2-D2 can get out a message to save them – if he can elude vicious gundarks and, worse yet, a crew of determined bounty hunters led by Boba Fett and Aurra Sing.
While Anakin and Mace Windu recover from their injuries, Plo Kloon and Ahsoka tracks down Boba Fett from the underworld of Coruscant to the planet Florrum. Boba's revenge scheme finally leads to a climactic battle, and the life of a Republic admiral hangs in the balance.
