Missed ya Shane, and I pray you feel better
Looking at the hyper space lane from Mandalor to coruscant its speculated that the planet was Bogden and the Venator crashed on one of its moons
Hi Shane, Eric, Aaron and everyone. How are you all doing? I love you all very much my friends
Quick question, what do you guys use to call each other and watch the show together?
Can you guys please react to the Crystal Crisis arc. It's a 4 part story that, despite not being fully finished, does feature the new Grievous model in action
We have to talk about Ashley Eckstein. She grew with Ahsoka and now she’s a giant of the SW Universe. She’s killing it in this last season of CW...
I love her. I think she's so great. I've bought so much star wars stuff from her shop.
She did an amazing job shifting the depth of her voice for my different ages.
Definitely been in a lot of stuff over the years besides star wars I can only remember her in That's so raven and Drake & Josh (minor roles obviously) but will always definitely be remembered for being Ahsoka Tano
@@ahsokatano5498 Holy shit, it's you! You're the best character in Star Wars, hands down.
@@cmdr_kai2492 ❤️ I try my hardest.
Just imagine if rebels didn’t come out yet the emotions would be at an all time high 👀
Holy shit imagine...
Dr. Kelp honestly it says a lot when I STILL felt tense when I know these characters live. Great job Dave
@@Blazecap facts. Even when rebels has come and gone and we know the fates of these characters and i still feel tense
@@Blazecap Yeah, in the moment I had completely forgot about Rebels and I was so stressed
Disney fumbled once again, glad they didnt touch this season
I love how they symbolized the end of the show with that last shot. An old, worn-out, broken clone helmet. Clones are a thing from the past. The republic and its Grand Army is over. Clone wars is over. It's all over. The present is now Vader and the Empire.
I feel as though it was also symbolic by almost saying that Vader is the result of the clone wars by having his reflection in a clone helmets visor.
Also, how this all happens in the literal wreckage of the old war. As Order 66 sent the war crumbling down, the cruiser crumbled down onto the planet's surface.
Yeah. I do wish tho that the clones hadn't still thought of her as a Jedi. None of the clones would have had to die. Specially Jessie. When they focused on his helmet I cried ngl
Ok but from what I remember these storm troopers were probably still clones.
Not that I didn't like the music, but I think what would've made that scene better is the somg that plays when Darth Vader walks onto the bridge of the Republic Cruiser with Sidious looking at the Death Star being created. That song would've fit perfectly in that scene because of the symbolism. It's both tragic and dark because Anakin is coming to grips with what he has become. It's the start of a downward spiral for him and he reflects on that when he looked at Sidious and then at the Death Star. When he finds the Republic Cruiser and Ashoka's lightsaber, he is reminded of memories that he has been trying to suppress for years. He thinks of his old life, of Ashoke, Padme and his role in what happened tp the galaxy and then he is realizes that he can't change what has happened and that he has no choice but to continue being Sidious' puppet. They both convey the same things; regret, helplessness, anger and sadness. The somg would've been perfect to show that again
Imagine how many times clones cried under their helmets , and how many Jedi don’t even know or care if they were.
Anakin fuck bro didn’t even think of that. They aren’t just killing their leaders but some their close friends
saimone sakisi in the book version of episode 3. But that is considered canon but also back then when that movie was made the clone always knew that they were gonna do order 66 so they were a lot more ruthless in that version Cody didn’t care he was gonna kill kenobi.
SPATZ fax
@@Tredamn cody was a generation 1 Clone. They didnt have much emotion and feelings. Just followed orders
_ Scra that’s old canon gen 1 isn’t a thing anymore clones separate personalities in general is the cause Rex was able to think differently due to him fighting with Anakin while Cody stuck to the book after fighting with obi wan for so long. Same as Wolfe matching plo Koon and multiple others like this
You can see Anakin's eyes as he looks up at Morai.
As far as he knows, his actions caused Ahsoka, Rex, Jesse, Sterling and the rest of the 332nd's deaths. Cutting the last thread of Anakin Skywalker.
:(
SadChamp
the star destroyer had a few shock troopers, a large portion of the 501st and the blank clones with the officers
Rex was decommissioned by the empire in Rebels though, I'd say he went back too the Empire after this, and confirmed that she was executed, Maybe helping Wolfe and Gregor
You can interpret that scene in many many ways, it depends a lot on the exact moment it happens. So I won't say you're wrong but you could be, especially if it's somewhere very close to Rebels.
From the moment they escape the ship, to the credits there is NO dialogue.
Actions speak louder than words, and a single frame of animation, can say EVERYTHING. THIS Is why animation NEEDS to be RESPECTED.
What a way to end. Thank you Dave Filoni....thank you.
Show don't tell 👍👍
That was a pure Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars moment. I loved it. Gotta love Filoni 🙌
Animation is not a genre, it's a form of filmmaking. If I hear one more person claim animated=for kids, I will be pissed
In this four episodes:
First word of Ahsoka: Hello
Last word of Ahsoka: There!
@@memelord7567 My father wont even give this a chance because he doesn't like animation for some reason.
This is Master Obi Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple…that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always.
I'll never understand how so many Jedi managed to get a holocron with his message
Agent X most Jedi carry a holocron either with them or with their other possessions.
@@siddharthmehta6397 But those have pre-stored information. How did they get his message?
@@Agent_3141 Uhm.. someone record the message to a holocron.
@@rusenakman But why and how? They aren't at the temple
“The clone wars are done, man” that hit really hard after seeing the storm troopers
Aaron Murff fr
Aaron Murff this is truly the last season
I made an edit as a tribute to the clone wars and other star wars mediums.
That last shot with the broken helmet in the snow...like a relic of an era with Vader reflecting on it...like it's the result of all this, the death of the republic and the creation of Vader...Perfect shot...
Really shows the tragedy of the clones. Tools for Palpatine to brainwash until he became Emperor. Once their job was done they were discarded, replaced, and forgotten. Like the helmet left in the snow, being ignored by the shadow it was forced to create.
Judging by the hyperspace lanes from mandalor to courascant, it looks to be a moon of bogden, the same planet where Dooku contracted Jango, ending the clone wars where it began.
Dolfin wow incredible connection!
Dolfin *“It’s like poetry, it rhymes.”*
That's fantastic
@@Fi_Sci_
I don't know why I like this quote so much
Imperial Officer it just feels right you know, when something fits so well together connecting with something we had never taken into account.... It’s like poetry it rhymes 😂
got the biggest smile on my face when i saw shane in the thumbnail for this
I clicked so fast i cracked my phone screen
Dylan Pearson same it felt weird without him
Did I miss something?
I did not even like this show but I came in to see Shane hahah
@@precariousjerd yes he's been taking a break from Blind Wave
The fact Ahsoka wouldn’t fight her troops who were brainwashed even though they were trying to kill her speaks volumes about her spirit and character
And how they were barreling towards a moon and were just going to die anyway.
She maybe was not part of the Jedi Order in that moment, she even no consider herself as Jedi but... She is Jedi. She is more Jedi Knight than many of the actual officially knights.
Even yoda was committing genoscide at the Jedi temple after order 66
as much as I wanted to see more, I can't complain. This was The Clone Wars. The war ended there was no more story for this show to tell. Hoping we get that Vader model in something in the future though cuz it was BEAUTIFUL
I agree with you, although as you say I kinda wish we got a bit more. I would've liked to see maybe a scene after the burial scene. Where Ahsoka and Rex meet with Obi Wan on tatooine who has baby luke on his way to the lars moisture farm. And they could have a nice scene in which they all say there goodbyes to one another, and all go there separate ways. And then have the Vader scene. But Overall it was still really good and a fitting end to the show.
Conley Productions I mean they literally had more to show, but decided not to include in the season
Conley Productions Bruh they had 2 more seasons of content
i was slightly disappointed that we didnt get a scene with the new Grievous model they showed in one of the previews of the episodes.
we were meant to get 2 more seasons of content....this was a satisfying conclusion but i still felt robbed of the content we could have had. imo? shorten the sister's arc to 3 episodes, and replace the bad batch arc with son of dathomir.
Rest In Peace Clone Wars, you will be missed.
Thank you Dave Filoni, for creating such a masterpiece of a series and a very impactful chapter in the Star Wars franchise.
Thank you for creating Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex.
Thank you for bringing Darth Maul back from the dead.
Thank you for telling these amazing stories throughout the entire series and showing us these amazing worlds. From the city of Coruscant, to the darkness of Umbara, to the iconic planet of Mandalore.
And finally to the cast and crew, thank you for bringing this story to life.
May the 4th be with you.
Amen
rather than missed, I would say forever cherished.
And made the prequels better even though I’m still not a huge fan of the trilogy
Also thank you Disney for this experience. Oh wait, sorry we only bring that name up if something we hate happens. Fuck you Disney!
@@Beltims tbh obviously at this point, shows like the Mandalorian, and clone wars shows that the Disney star wars aren't that bad, It's pretty much anything Kathleen Kennedy touched that is complete garbage, so I don't see why people keep chucking Disney the blame.
“The mission...the nightmares....they’re finally over.”
"I'm free"
Why have you done this to me? 😭
JulianXG Poor Jesse!!!
@@darthbradmedia8929 5s said that
Son of Dathomir I know, it just makes me sad!
If there was one show I could use to define my childhood it would be this. Every and I mean EVERY Friday when a New episode premiered on Cartoon Network I would put aside my homework and watch some clone wars(sometimes with my dad). Even just talking about this makes me nostalgic. Words cannot express what this show mean to me as a Star Wars fan. But I’ll leave off with my favorite quote that somehow stuck with me “This is war: We are all prepared to die for our cause” Always sticked with me and I don’t know why. This show is truly something special and we all should cherish this while it lasted. I would highly recommend it to any and all Star Wars fans or people who want to get into the EU.
Same experience here. I waited the whole week at school for new episodes on Friday.
For some reason I remember it coming out saturdays in the morning. But yes same here I remember waking up every Saturday morning to watch the newest episode
I did too. I remember not seeing the promo for the episode with maul and being really excited for what was to come after the episode.
I remember me and my dad watching Clone wars, young justice and green lantern the animated series because they came on the same day on cartoon network.
@@rubenzavala5476 Young Justice was another show that I loved watching and it was my introduction to Wally west, Superboy, and Artemis. I also had a crush on Zatanna when she was introduced.
This really feels like an end to the prequel era content and as someone who's grown up with Star Wars since Revenge of the Sith this hurts me man but what a way to end it.
Conor Doyle
Look on bright side if this is end of PT era at least the classic PT era characters haven't gotten pissed on like OT classic characters have...
@@darthwint3823 That's the truth!
Same man, the ending scene’s with the sad music really hit me hard!
Seeing Jessie's helmet in the end hit different. I considered him one of the OG clones. The people I considered OG were, Jessie,Echo,Fives,Cody,Rex,Wolf, and last but not least Gregor. Oh and captain Keeli that was a really sad episode
To me, Ahsoka and Rex were always the better parts of Anakin. To see that they survived, and in a way, using what Anakin taught them is beautiful. The Jedi Order forbade attachments but here we see this genuine bond, a bond formed by a General, a Master, and its what survives Order 66. Rex's forming of the Good Soldier vs The Soldier, and Ahsoka's acceptance of what a Jedi is, these are the identities that emerged from the ashes of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Anakin may have been lost, but what he left behind definitely stayed.
Really great analysis, my friend. I would also state that his love for Padme lived on as well, in Luke and Leia.
This show WAS my childhood. I grew up with it. Watching this episode at 3 am on a zoom call with friends we were all crying at the end. This show shaped us and this finale was everything to us. I’m so thankful for it.
I’m so glad Shane is back. Everything felt weird without him.
@Nevieth Oh no, of course. I'm sorry if my words became scrambled. It's just that its reassuring to know that he's doing ok. (I hope.) Its just that BlindWave isn't BlindWave without him.
@Nevieth What happened with Shane?
@@SangheiliSpecOp He's taking some time off because of depression: ruclips.net/video/Io-uD4N3JnA/видео.html
@@zddxddyddw damn. Thank you for letting me know. I noticed the difference in how he was acting in some videos but I didn't know. Well now I'm even more glad that he was back today and I wish him the best. I used to have bad depression years ago and I know it sucks :\
The actor for Jango Fett is old enough now to play the older version of rex in live-action.
He's actually gonna play boba fett
@@whofactchecksthefactcheckers he's been cast in two roles for Mandalorian, so he very well may be playing old rex as well
the25thprime god I can’t wait for temuera Morrison to show up.
well he appeared for a shot hopefully he'll be back and hopefully he'll be back as REX!!!
This aged well
Simply Beautiful: The Clone Wars is the ultimate Tragedy of the Star Wars universe, more than Darth Maul's fall from grace and struggle to gain some semblance of power, Steela Gerrera's death at the hands of the Separatist, Satine's death at Maul's hand in front of Obi-wan, Ventress' search for vengeance leading to her people's death, Anakin's turn to the dark side, Obi-wan's failure as a mentor to Anakin, all of it. Like you said: every single victory, every life that was "saved", every casualty( ally, enemy, civilian) in the name of "Republic" against the Separatist, it all amounted to nothing more than corruption, lies, and needless slaughter of life. We all knew that the Clone Wars was orchestrated by Sidious, but the cinematic entries in this franchise aren't really able to communicate that level of just despair...and when the Clone Wars ended with Ashoka leaving the Jedi, while incredibly effecting and devastating, it doesn't really try(not that needed to) explore the wider galaxy at that moment, and in the end, it feels...right: Ashoka left of here own volition due to the hubris of the Jedi Council (amongst other things), it was her choice, and she was able to hold her head high knowing she made the choice that she felt needed to make, despite how hard it was, and makes peace with it.
Here, there is no sense, no reasoning, nor any sense of peace: it is simply cold, unfeeling, death as she is hunted down by her former friends and allies, some of whom still wear helmets adorned with markings in honor of her...her, their ally, and trusted leader. It is cruel in a way that transcends the Maul's attempts to hurt Kenobi or Dooku ordering the extermination of Ventress' people, it is as heartbreaking as a brother losing his sister as they fight to liberate their homeworld from tyrants or husband turning his back on everything he had become to save his wife, only to be the one to kill her in the end, and is as depressing as seeing a man do his best to teach and instruct his pupil, who then becomes his brother only for that same pupil, that brother, to call everything the mentor has ever known "evil".
In this show lies some of the harshest depictions of war in the medium of animation, from lengths those trying to remain uninvolved must take, the damage and death the conflict brings to those whose only due was being somewhere critical/inconvenient for either side, to the immediate casualties of brothers in arms, the struggle to win and to continue on after success and/or failure to simply be a survivor. Paired with this, however, are small demonstrations of the good inherits in all living beings: from people standing up against oppressive regimes with diplomacy and careful maneuvering when violence is not a necessity, people communicating peace and understanding while educating each other in ways only they can, to the friendships, literally tested in battle, formed and the fellowship that creates genuine connections.
This last episode, though, shows how everything we've seen in the last 6 seasons, all the friendships forged and/or broken, the struggles, the pain, the relief, the salvation, damnation, anger, happiness, growth, deterioration, success, failure, none of it would help stop Sidious from rising to power, destroying the Jedi, and subjugating the Galaxy to rampant fear, slavery, and more death. It throws every "victory" we've seen under shadow of dread that it won't matter in the end. Before this episode (and arguably the last one too) we could pretend that anything the Jedi or the GAR did meant something, that victory was truly a victory and not the machinations of one man, one monster, playing chess master simply orchestrating events for his own purposes, that the loss we faced were in service of the "greater good" when in reality, the "greater good" is like just, a construct of the basis currently in power, and the people in power are not ... , shall we say, noble. But here, we have unarguable proof of all of this, as the symbol of the GAR's might and power, the Venator class star destroyer, the "Jedi" Cruiser, broken, collapsing in on itself and on fire, as it falls from the sky. The proof that Jesse's tattoo, and what it used to represent, is able to turn on the very people trying to protect that symbolism because, at the end of the day, the symbol is only that, a symbol, which can change at the drop of a helmet.
In the end, this episode solidified all of this: the betrayal, the death, and overwhelming sense of emptiness at the realization that it was all the machination of a single man trying to rule the galaxy with an iron fist. I will always be grateful that we could see the end of this honestly amazing journey, the culmination of one of the biggest conflicts in this Galaxy far, far away. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the Clone Wars ends not with a bang, but whimper as the last vestiges of the old war burying those they called brothers and allies, even after those same people turned their guns on them. This episode is simply amazing, emotional, action-packed, brutal, and above all else, it provides a sense of closure, no matter how much we may not want it, to see all these character's efforts rendered mote, that could only come from this series. Love you Filoni, and You too Blind Wave for saying all things in my head out loud: We missed you Shane, glad you could make, for this last chapter of the Clone Wars.
Im not reading all that, but I probably completely agree
Agreed
I can officially say that my “childhood” is complete. At 20 years old, I’m ready to adult😂. This has been a joyous and sorrowful ride, but ultimately a great adventure. Loved y’alls reaction. I cried all over again. Also, SHANE!!!!!! Missed ya you son of a gun. I hope you are doing well. Thank you blindwave for making me feel closer to other clone wars fans throughout these reactions. #mtfbyw
Same, i even saw the Clone Wars movie in cinema.... Now 12 years later.... damn. It was one hell of a ride!!!
I feel like there’s going to be a comic of Rex finding Gregor and Wolf
Probably, but I wish they'd done that here.
@@masteryoda7207 I agree
Master Yoda yeah instead of having those sister centric episodes that went absolutely nowhere.
They Aayla Secura-ed the droids.
😐
Noah Caleb Lo-Renzo Parladé
😭😭😭😭😭
Don't remind me of how my childhood crush died... ;w;
Good thing that they where wearing helmets
hugo rappe 😔 battlefront 2?
I feel like a part of me is gone after watching this. As much as I wanted to see more they did this perfectly.
The image of Jesse helmet with the republic symbol...the republic is truly dead...
Yeah that scene hit different. I almost wished that the clones hadn't seen her as a Jedi because otherwise none of them would have tried to kill her and theoretically they would all be alive.
@@angel0fdeath820 thematically, it was better this way
That scene where Ahsoka stood over the graves broke me. And her leaving her lightsaber behind with her dead friends had more emotional weight to me than Luke chucking his lightsaber off a cliff ever did.
Kevin Velazquez
That’s perfectly fair. Luke throwing his father’s lightsaber was played off as a joke just to underwrite the emotional weight of the ending of the previous film.
Of course the Clone Wars ending has more emotion than that scene.
fuck the sequels
WHEN I TELL YOU TODAYS BEEN THE LONGEST DAY WAITING FOR THIS
for real
I did the math and learned how many men were at the graveyard. Including Rex, the 332nd company has 144 clones, and Rex was the only survivor. The graveyard Ahsoka made had 39 bodies (3 rows of 13). That leaves 104 men either killed on Mandalore or unaccounted for. That’s why it’s so sad. Rex could only find so many men to bury
The 332nd was reinforced by other 501st before the assault
"It's not the culmination of an epic struggle or the conclusion of the hero's journey. It's just the opposite. The Clone Wars were never an epic struggle or a heroic journey. They were never intended to be. And that is how they end... Quietly"
11:02 You guys need to check on Aaron because that almost shattered him and he needs a hug. :(
16:07 :(
I mean shit what fan wasn't tearing up when rex was lets be real
I thought ahsoka was about to make out with rex 😂
PureDominator her and Rex kept getting REALLY close in a couple scenes this arc and it honestly made me a little uncomfortable.
@@Harrison_516 I mean they are almost the same age...so eh...
Harrison Jourdan just bc two people are close it doesn’t mean it has to be romantic
I love when Ahsoka was chasing down Maul, she straight up just went for his neck. That scream he let out when he shoved her away wasn't one of anger, it was one of panic
Glad to see you back Shane!
"I wanted more" key word there. There were things left unsaid and people we need to see one more time. That's WHY they ended it here so people would go find more like "Rebels" and other star wars connected things
17:46 You can see Anakin's eyes in that shot
I have a theory that his eyes aren’t Sith yellow in that moment as if the lightsaber gave a smidge of anakin but obviously was held back
Unwisesaucer yeah if you zoom in they kind of look blue. It’s debatable since they’re behind a red lens but they look blue to me.
"When the 501st was finally rotated out of Felucia, Aayla Secura made a point of seeing us off personally, calling us the bravest soldiers she had ever seen. It's a good thing we were wearing helmets, because none of us could bear to look her in the eye."
where did you get that from
WolfHowl thanks
I recommend to watch a video called "Born to betray." It shows the terrible journey all clones had to go through.
@@wolfhowl_ correct. It follows the 501st journey and follows them marching into the temple killing the Order
I grew up with Clone Wars. I grew up with Ahsoka, Rex and all of it. I felt like I was learning the ways of the Force through this. A perfect ending to a perfect show.
my favorite quote: Rex saying "I'm no jedi" just before murdering the slaver
That episode hit me in the right feels,apart from the hardships that they both pass,that scene when he oneshot the zigerrian with the spear,i LEGIT yell a big ,yessss! take that son of bitch!
I was nine years old when the Clone Wars movie came out, and I remember staying up late every Friday night to catch the new episode on Cartoon Network. I grew up with this show, and it was a huge part of my childhood. It honestly hurts my soul to see it end
Memeologist same I remember watching it when I was six years old i remember watching the show late on Friday nights than I would record the show when it came on early Saturday mornings but I would always watch it live because I was so excited
Memeologist
Same here. Ever since ROTS Aayla Secura was my favorite Jedi though she had no lines whatsoever and I still remember when Season Episode 13 (I think) first aired starring my favorite Jedi. I was so shook to finally see more of her. What a great show.
in a rare occurence, a planet/moon in SW has more than one ecosystem/season
come back to watch this sometimes. Perfect, perfect ending to the clone wars. The burial of the clones, the falling Venator, the symbol of the Republic Navy, Ashoka leaving her saber. Only two survivors are the two main characters created for the Clone Wars. Great ending.
Always get goosebumps when it moves to Jesse’s helmet... clone wars is honestly a masterpiece
I'm 18. Clone Wars was THE show of my childhood. Seeing it conclude finally after all these years brings my heart to a stop. I'm so happy to see this finale with the Blind Wave crew. Thank you.
I love how he silently mourns Ahsoka. Seeing Morai flying sells her death for him. That’s when he really lets go of the light side and becomes fully darth vadar
every time I come back to watch this I still stand by that this is one of the greatest endings to a series ever made
The ending shot of the Clones helmet really reminded me of Halo Reaches ending with Noble 6.
I think I was lucky as I watched Rebels just after the ending of Clone Wars, so I really lived all these scenes with no spoiler at all. Best Finale for a great serie
If you have the chance, you should always watch the star wars parts in chronological order.
When I introduce someone to star wars, I definitely tell him/her to watch episode 1, then episode 2, then the clone wars up to season 7 episode 9 and then star wars episode 3. Having this experience without spoilers is probably the best you can have.
It’s very common for the hyper drive to be “the heart of the ship” as it’s systems and converters run through out a good chunk of the ship including the engines. Like when baby boba tried to kill Windu. The hyperdrive getting taken out is a way to quickly cripple or destroy a ship
According to the comments, Shane seems to be a fan favorite. He’s in high demand.
absolutely! Shane gives a nice contrast with the rest of the crew.
Shane is my favorite member of blind wave !
I didn't realise how much Shane brings to the crew until his absence.
Glad to have Shane back I’ve really been missing him and I speak for everyone when I say we love you Shane and we all hope you’re feeling better
I really do love how characters who were literally designed to be disposable and replaceable became some of the most loved characters in this show. It's crazy how far we've come not only since this series started, but from the prequels as well.
The clones are now one of my favorite things in the entire franchise because of this show
That last scene with Empire and Vader is like a cinematic teaser trailer for video games, u know the ones that just looked freaking realistic and give u chills...👌
*cough* old republic *cough*
kevvv science I should say meant all video games but man this is a perfect example 👌
After this last episode, if you want more Ahsoka, I highly recommend reading the Ahsoka book. Minus its beginning little prologue bit being changed with the show (considering it was written before season 7 got the ok, I'm not surprised) it's a really good book that follows Ahsoka one year after Order 66 and the rise of the empire.
The title of the book is just Ahsoka by E. K. Johnston
It's a great book. When the guys were talking about wanting more, I literally yelled that at the screen ... ok maybe not that literally.
I loved the line "i didnt like being a commander anyway"
Yeah, man spent the entire war as a captain, it felt unnatural to him
Man the scene where Rex breaks down and then Ashoka removes his helmet and you see him crying... That hit me like a brick
Seeing Shane back really put a smile on my face :)
I think adding Anakin's blue eyes under his helmet after finding Ahsoka's saber looking up in the sky was brilliant. For a brief moment it wasn't Darth Vader holding the saber. It was Anakin Skywalker. Ahsoka was the only person besides Luke to bring Anakin out.
This episode had more emotion than the sequel trilogy
*spoilers*
The symbolism is incredible from Ashoka refusing to kill her fellow clones and rex not wanting to kill his brothers even while order 66 has taken control of them. Jessie essentially becoming the final antagonist of the series stopping at nothing to stop the two people he believed were traitors. The final moments of the clones being buried with Jessie's helmet showing not only his death but the death of the republic (his helmet design). The reveal of Vader as he ignites and holds Ashoka's blue lightsaber Anakin made while Morai flies above. And finally Vader walking away in the reflection of a clone trooper helmet with Ashoka's design as if she and the other members of the company were there watching. Freaking chills man, this is how you do star wars
100% brilliant
You know you didn't have to mention anything about the sequel trilogy.
@@thejediofuspartii538 Didn't have to but I wanted to. I know I'm not the only one who feels it. Most if not all can agree the sequels deserve a do over if it was possible
@@Sea_Dragon-wh6yq I don't. Still wasn't necessary tho.
Nien Numb it was his choice too
Disney robbed us of how tense this episode would have been. If they didn't cancel clone wars, we would have had this episode before Rebels. Which means we would have no idea if Rex, Ashoka, or Maul die. Imagine how nail biting this episode would have been if you didn't know they couldn't die
Yeah but you know businesses and their need for money
The episodes ended up drastically different than they would’ve been 6 years ago, be careful what you wish for, these episodes as they are right now are god damn perfect
I actually think we probably have the best version of this that we could have gotten. For one, it was so well written and directed that I still felt the full tension even knowing where they all end up. But more importantly, this finale was basically treated like a film that they cut up into four parts. This wouldn't have had the budget back then, and Rebels' existance also gave clear direction to where they needed to take each character with this finale, much like how the existance of revenge of the sith had to guide anakin's arc. I highly doubt we would have gotten the Maul that we got without everything he did in rebels giving them guidance on where to take him. Rebels is no where near as good as clone wars, but CW sets such a high bar that Rebels is still a good show.
I am almost sure that Disney didn't have the making rights of Clone wars so They HAD to cancel it and only after this much time They were able to do it because the previous owners rights got expired
@@JunkoEnoshima. Lucasfilm had the rights?? They bought Lucasfilm...
I love how one can hear bits of “Tears In The Rain” (Bladerunner) inside of Ahsoka’s theme!
It was certainly more pronounced this episode!
❤️
I’ve been enjoying your guy’s reactions a ton lately as it truly does feel like I’m experiencing watching the episode for the first time again. You guys put tons of effort into your analysis, which paired with the great chemistry you guys have with one another makes these videos a joy to watch.
This show always amazes me it showed more emotion on these characters than the movies ever have. Also love seeing Shane back
Clone Wars Vader looks Amazing, he even has the red lenses from Rogue One. And a Beautiful scene to end the Clone Wars with Anakin leaving what was left of his old life behind, with all that remains is Darth Vader.
Am I the only one who would've loved to see a Clone Wars styled animated version of an Anakin vs Obiwan duel?
Yes.
@@jj_b5400 You don't speak for everyone.
I was saying please don’t do this to me show the duel please, but they showed darth Anakin
I'm glad they didn't recreate key moments from ROTS, this is about the war itself, not the Saga.
How on earth could you possibly think you're the only one that wanted that? This whole season people have been saying they wanted to see that.
The final scene has so much depth. Vader going to the crash site show how much he cared for his troops and his lost padawan. They show his eyes, as a glimpse of his humanity shining through, then disappearing as he returns to being a shadow in contrast to the brightness around him.
Ending with the shoot of the buried clone helmet with Ahsoka’s face paint, is a brilliant way to symbolize what the series was about.
I love how when Ahsoka and Rex fight together, Ahsoka is defence and Rex is offence
I grew up watching The Clone Wars and after seeing this finale for the first time all those years ago, it was a definitely an emotional experience. Because not only is it the end of the show itself but it’s also the end to some of my childhood, that I know I’ll never get back.
Love how Maul says “running away again lady Tano” but in reality he was the one to run away, perfect for his character to just lie
26:50 Blind wave guys, it's Ahsoka the Grey (this episode) and Ahsoka the White (the end of Rebels). It's a direct reference to Gandalf from The Lord Of The Rings.
Welcome back Shane! Hope you’re doing well.
Well I don’t think he’s back back, but hopefully soon

This is the way
Seeing Aaron cry like that at the end was a lot of us. Of course we’d want something fan servicey like Maul vs Vader, but it’s not like it can’t happen in the future. I think for this arc/short movie, this was an amazing way to end things. That last shot is gonna stick with me for a long time.
RIP The Clone Wars. 2008-2020
I saw someone that reacted to this as well mentioned that if you look into Vader’s mask, you can see his eyes aren’t sith yellow as he was holding ahsoka’s lightsaber. You’d have to brighten the image to see it, but even without noticing it, that scene is so powerful...
Those last 5 minutes were just beautiful , I’m sad to see a part of my childhood go but I’m glad it finally got its ending. The Clone Wars animation/art style is unmatched, I really hope the next animated show follows in that direction with the animation and tone especially. The Clone Wars is Star Wars at its absolute best. Also glad to see Shane back!
I love the Blade Runner style music they used at the end in the aftermath of Order 66. Especially when we see the transition from the Republic era to the Imperial era.
I think as someone who was a little kid and was scared of the clones because of their treachery its pretty powerful to see ahoska still refuse to kill them when most everyone else would've mowed them down like obi wan and yoda
That was in Ep III where the clones were just basically droids though. Then they changed the canon and added the chip.
My favorite quote has to be something from Hondo, either "This effort is no longer profitable" or "How dangerous can they be, they are running from Kenobi!"
When Ashoka took Rex helmet off & you can see tears running down his face.😭😭😭😭😭😭
Anakin/Vader permanently stuck between the past and the present, forever bound to relive the nightmares again and again. The final shot with the reflection on the helmet visor is a perfect way to show Vader's past staring back at him. The Republic is dead, the clones died with it - not for it. But the past isn't, it will never stop haunting Anakin.
What a perfect finale.

“NAH MAN NOW IM MAD”
I can't believe it's already been 4 years since this season came out. I remember the end of this episode, i'm sitting at my desk watching it on the computer and once the credits were rolling, I was just silent with some teary eyes. I watched the episode in the afternoon, and the rest of the day I was just so sad but happy. I mean, Star Wars has been a cornerstone of my entire life, especially my childhood. The only console games my parents would let us play were Nintendo or Star Wars, the main books we were allowed to read were Star Wars (parents had to read the books first to make sure they were appropriate for us). So, this episode coming to an end, I was seeing my entire childhood playing in my mind with that somber music in the background. Even the toys I had were Star Wars action figures, coloring books, lunchboxes, my bedroom ceiling had glow in the dark X-Wings, Tie Fighters, and Lightsabers on it. My bedsheets were Star Wars, my shirts were mostly Star Wars. I've been a DnD DM for a few years now with off and on groups, but the one that lasted the longest (almost an entire year) was a Star Wars campaign I created. They ended this show as a perfect 10/10. Dang though, I still just see my childhood flash through my mind during the end of this episode. Gorgeous music for a gorgeous ending to a gorgeous series. Best way to end an era.
This episode ends where ahsoka's book starts.
I love how Sam Witwer got his Starkiller moment and pulled a Star Destroyer out of hyperspace
I think there should’ve been one last scene with Ahsoka and Plo Koon, since he was the one who brought her to the Jedi order
I would also would have liked Kit Fisto to make an appearance, if not just to have Phil LaMarr play him again.
Hell, even just a little more Mace Windu. Litterally the last scene he was in was being snide to Ahsoka, and then we hear him die off screen.
I feel like that would've been forced. When people get taken away without notice it's more of a tragedy. This is not a happy ending at all.
The shot of Jesse’s helmet symbolizes the death of my adolescence. This show and franchise was the foundation of my childhood.
I cried during the whole episode 😭
Man I grew up with this show and now watching jesse and rex bond being broken just straight up killed me
Favorite Quote:
"In my book, Experience outranks everything." - Captain Rex
"Well, if Experience outranks everything, I guess I better start getting some." - Ahsoka Tano
Its amazing the things this final episode does.
The crashing of the Venator as the Clone Wars ends and the Empire begins.
The death of the Clones transitioning to the Rise of the Stormtrooper.
Ahsoka letting Maul and all of it go one final time to save herself and Rex.
The Clones calling Ahsoka "it" rather than a Jedi or she, nothing more than a thing to put down.
The contrast of clones with Helmets and Rex without his.
The callback to the last episode, that without the war, they wouldn't exist, but without them, the Jedi still would.
Vader's contrast in the snow finding Ahsoka's lightsaber, how well he still looks with a blue lightsaber, the eye in the visor, that deep down Anakin is still there, which contrasts with their next meeting in the Sith Temple, full red, Anakin has a brief moment when she says she won't leave, only for Vader to take over completely now.
Ahsoka and Rex escaping on a Y-Wing, leaving behind the Republic for the future Rebellion.
Maul when he destroyed the hyperdrive echoing the red/blue that Kylo does when he kills Han. The Light and the Dark Sides of the Force, that in some way him crashing that ship is what helped save Ahsoka and Rex, despite him being purely chaotic.
Maul escaping on the same ship that we first saw Ahsoka on, she doesn't get to leave as she arrived, with smiles and happiness despite war.
That somewhere deep down Ahsoka probably knows Maul was right the entire time, about Sidious, about Anakin, about it all.
Revenge of the Sith ultimately started with a crashing ship, and The Clone Wars ends with a crashing ship. The Separatists crashed and burned, followed soon by the Grand Republic.
The final shot of Vader in the reflection, the Clone Wars reflecting what all of this chaos of Order 66 left too, a fallen knight walking away from his past to the harshness of the empire and tyrannical rule.
Honestly I could go on for the beautiful poetry the episode does, the music, the visuals, etc.
Has anybody else noticed how Rex is still wearing his phase 1 clone armour but the rest are wearing their phase 2 armour which looks a lot like stormtroopers?
The symbolism, man.
My favorite comment has to be from rex during the umbar arc "sir I followed your plan to the letter a plan witch was in my opinion was severely flawed a plan that cost us men not clones men and just as it's my duty to follow your order I have a duty to protect those men."
Now that's how you make a Jedi throwing away their lightsaber mean something to people... RIAN!
Being that Dave Filoni is also a lord of the rings fan, and there are lord of the rings hints and connections throughout the clone wars and rebels, it's kinda interesting to see some hints of that in this episode as well. Ahsoka wore a white cloak in the last rebels episode and a grey cloak in this episode. So, in this episode she would be Ahsoka the grey, and in the epilogue of the last rebels episode (which took place after the defeat of the empire) she had basically become Ahsoka the white.
fjvmunsterman THIS!!!^^^^^
I SO wanted to see how Wolfe and Gregor lost their chips
Months later and I still can’t watch the ending without tearing up and feeling sick to my stomach such a great, tragic ending
I hope there's a new series done in the style of clone wars that covers the stories directly after order 66, sortof the same time frame as the mandalorian, but not star wars rebels. Just more of that clone wars reminiscent empire time frame
