I wonder why you and so many others call these types of episodes 'filler'. Just because there aren't any fisticuffs flying doesn't make these episodes filler. Seeing as there is no manga to adapt this stuff from, this isn't filler in any way like the driving episodes, garlic jr. or the years worth of filler that was brought into Naruto on the regular. The movies served as a 'skeleton' of sorts, and now we are getting a whole new series which fills in all the gaps, and hopefully, in the end, will be a cohesive package. Especially with these last couple of episodes, they show some key things that are planting seeds for the story arcs taking place after the ROF retelling is done.
