GeneralHappyDeath agreed. This and Ahsoka the fugitive were the best arcs of the entire series (well just until we get the bad batch, Ahsoka’s journey and the Siege of Mandalore in the finale season).
Considering how vocal Lucas was against the Vietnam war (especially how he compared Palpatine's rise to Nixon's administration) I wouldn't be surprised if this arc allowed him to fully express his feelings about the War
Although you may laugh and joke, I consider the Umbara arc to be a cinematic experience better than any war movie to date. This is my favorite of the series.
Royce Blackwater those movies, although vivid, live action thrillers are direct comparisons and possibly influential in this case. Saving private Ryan must have had a direct influence (just my guess). I had these movies in mind when making my comparison. This is my opinion.
For some reason, I always love Filoni's quote of, "You just can't walk in and kill him and say, 'Well, he was a Sith lord!' because what does the senate care? They're like, 'Yeah, but the trains ran on time!'" That connection between real-world Mussolini and SW's Palpatine somehow really fits. I love it.
And yet Mussolini was assassinated too! Dave does make a valid point though, what does the senate care if Palpatine announces he follows the Sith religion (and hide he's a powerful force user); if they are happy with his actions in running the republic/empire. Many won't.
The truth is that Umbara chose to be with the CIS. What the Republic did there was very Imperial-esque: occupy a foreign planet, crush resistance, enslave the population aftewards. You begin understanding that the Separatists were the ones fighting for a just cause, after a while.
As far as we know the Umbarans didn't even do anything wrong. Their representative in the senate was murdered back in Season 2, that made them lose their trust in the Republic and they withdrew to the Separatists. The Republic invaded their home turf, in a lot of ways you can see the parallels to Vietnam, I suppose the Republic thought that retaking Umbara by force was the only way but that's a very Imperial approach..
Vicious But the Republic did not have anything to do with Dee Chi's death. He was killed by Lolo Purs to silence her revenge scheme. Besides, Deechi was a supporter of the Fund More Clones campaign so if the Umbarans wanted to join the Seperatists, they would've done so before he was murdered. The Umbarans had to have gone to the Seperatists for more sinister reasons.
And it's not like the Republic overrun a planet full of pacifists. An army of Umbarans with unknown technology switched sides during wartime. It's either the Republic attacks them (and as far as we know, none of the casualties were civillians) or they wait until Umbara attacks first.
The ideology for the CIS is a noble cause but all the CEOs n major CIS companies that sit on the CIS council are pretty ruthless. Most of their prewar droids n vehicles were from their own private militias, for example the Hellfire droids were used for debt collection so...
"Epic" is not a good enough description of this arc, I think "masterpiece" is more fitting. While it helps to watch previous episodes so you know clones like Rex, I think if you started here you'd still get invested with these clones because they have such great moments in this arc. Especially Rex's line "we lost good MEN, not clones but *men.*" Such an amazing arc, plus you by the end you want to see Krell brutally murdered because of how big of a douche he was. Oh man I hated him so much!
I like how Rex puts his helmet off, when he is saying this line, so Krell might see his face instead of the "soulless" helmet. It was a great visual representation. Really helped to emphasize the meaning of his words.
who elses feels sad everytime even minor clone dies, idk i just feel under each helmet theres another fives echo heavy or rex who wont see the end of the war.
It's probably best for each of those clones to never see the end of the war. The tears that were shed under their helmets during Order 66 as they mercilessly slaughter the people they've always looked up to without being able to do anything about it. That's an experience you'll never come back from.
+Sun Diego Commander According to the Vietnamese Government, 1,100,000 Vietnamese combatants were killed(combined total of both North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong Military personnel) The US on the other hand had a total of 59,000 deaths and Australia just 500. That means for every 1 U.S. Serviceman's death, 19 NVA or VC died. North Vietnam won the War against South Vietnam in 1975 when they broke their treaty and invaded. U.S. troops had completely left Vietnam in 1973.
Americans and Allies never actually lost any combat or skirmishes in the Vietnam War. The reason why the Americans redrew was because of the growing anti-war protest at home due to media coverage of the conflict
At the beginning of the Umbara story arc, when you see the troopers landing from the gunships being peppered with blaster fire, it reminded me of WWII. Specifically D-Day.
I feel it was more Vietnam in theme, with the gunships dropping troops. I also believe that Geonosis was more the clone D-Day, attacking entrenched positions and then pushing through occupied territory.
The Umbara arc left me shell shocked. I couldn't watch anymore episodes that night (I tried to watch one more but I kept pausing it and just couldn't focus). Never in my life have a felt so much emotion watching a Tv show. Intense anger towards Pong Krell, joy watching the clones hijack those planes, immense, immense horror and sadness during the friendly fire scene and Waxer's death. This arc is a *masterpiece*, and I rank it right behind Ahsoka's arc at the end of season 5.
The episode where Krell send the clones to kill each other might be my favorite from the show, at least until now. The moment they realize they were killing each other gave me chills, like I've never had with CW before. Seeing Waxer crying right before dying was though. And the animation, the planet itself, the battle between Krell and the Clones, the lighting, it was specially beautiful. I think my only problem with the arc was the explanation to why Krell did what he did. I think it would've been more interesting to him, instead of joining the Separatists, simply be a changed man because of the war, a change that made him see Clones as inferior and expendable, to the point where he makes them kill each other just for disobeying him.
I know right. That explanation of the Seperatist/Trade Fed distinction was fascinating, and i'm sure almost anyone in Lucasfilm but George and Dave wouldn't really be worried about things like that.
11:20: Dave Filoni explains what Legends got wrong about the Separatists. Really interesting stuff and give me a new appreciation for their depiction in the Clone Wars / canon.
Waxer is my favorite clone, and it broke my heart to see him go, especially through friendly fire, but like Dave said, he had to be the one to go. His compassion is just a tear jerker. Yet I'm glad he died, because I couldn't bare to think about him as part of the Empire, and attempting to execute Kenobi.
I agree. Another great line is after the droid says "Do we take prisoners", a clone trooper says "I don't". It's probably the hevyest line in the series for me.
These are great! I miss this show so much, and that's due in large part to how good this team was at making it. They managed to make a Star Wars TV show that was equal parts cartoon and drama, mature and yet watchable at young ages. I can't help but wonder where it would have gone if Disney hadn't come in and destroyed all hope of its continuation. I also can't help but hope that it may still be continued someday. I'm not a big fan of Rebels, I believe it's nowhere near as good as Clone Wars. Not as mature, a huge noticeable difference in visual quality, and the focus of the show is just too similar to the original movies. Clone Wars brought us something we had never seen before outside the expanded universe, a war. A rebellion against a superior force, the politics and forces working in and around a war, but never a view from the frontlines. We had never seen so many varied characters, locations, events, and it was refreshing and interesting. I felt for the Clone troopers, named or not, for the lesser known Jedi and other Republic allies, even for Separatists and their pawns. Nothing else in Star Wars made me think so much in every moment and feel like Clone Wars did, and now it's future is lost.
It really shows the absolute care for attention to detail that George had for Star Wars. Say what you will about the prequels, but the world was amazingly crafted.
One of the best arcs of the show! I swear all the best clone wars episodes are the 4 episode arcs. The only animated show with writing that rivals the clone wars is the last airbendrr
The early 2000s Justice League TV series had some brilliant writing as well which I think deserves a spot in TV Shows meant for kids that is so much more than that. It involved story arcs, character development, and dark themes very similar to those of Clone Wars and last airbender (which I've never seen but I'll take your word for it.)
I liked how Filoni and crew explained how George Lucas talked about how the Trade Federation and the other businesses that sold to the Separatists also sold to the Republic. It also happens in The Last Jedi, when Finn and Rose are in Canto Bight, and they see the wealthy businessmen that sold to the Resistance and the First Order.
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not just My Favorite Arc in The Entire Show, But it's also the best TV I've ever seen. It's just an Absolute Masterpiece!!!!!! I always Loved The Clones but This was The Arc that really made them My Favorite Characters In All Of Star Wars. Especially Rex, Fives And Echo. The Scene where Rex realizes that They're shooting at their own Brothers is so Heartbreaking and when Waxer dies it's always so emotional. I wanted to just destroy Krell after that Scene. And The Fact that Dogma, The most Loyal of them all to Krell was the one to kill Him was just The Perfect Ending to it all. The Clones are the Best and most Loyal Soldiers Ever and I will always Adore Them and This Masterful Show!!! I Love These Featurettes!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW OF ALL TIME!!!!!! FOOOOOORRRRRR THE REPUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think what makes Umbara even better is the hints at Episode III and Order 66. We see Krell be viewed as a heroic Jedi and then become much worse, like how the galaxy looked at the Jedi as heroes but then believed they were the bad guys. We see clones fighting a Jedi and then doing whatever they can to take him down, which massively hints at Order 66. Especially when it’s the 501st and 212th who gets the most Order 66 scenes. And there’s Dogma, who is loyal to the Republic and chain of command and he executes a Jedi because he “betrayed” them and the Republic. We see clones who are willing to obey Orders no matter who they come from, so long as it benefits the Republic, which is what we thought was Order 66 was about, until we learned about Inhibitor Chips. And then we see the clones view in themselves and what they think of the war, their place in it and then their place after it. It’s just these little things that are the universe feel so connected and connect the movies and animated shows even better.
He did I think, just not on screen. At the end of season 5, Anakin mentions that its not impossible for a Jedi to go bad, and to "look at Count Dooku and Krell"
It was eventually stated that the breathers the Umbaran's had on them was just meant to enhance their combat performance by essentially pumping them full of drugs.
XD I knew from the ending of the first episode that krell would be sith. the yellow eyes and before it ends the fire... also that you so much for having this posted on your channel it's great
Nah he ain't a Sith, "Only two there are." Krell saw the corruption of the Republic and realised that it wasn't what it used to be, so he turned sides and tried to take it down from the inside, or at least hinder it. Leading from the frontlines to command suicide missions gave him the opportunity wipe out as many troops as he could without directly fighting against them.
you know, looking back, Umbara kind of reminds me of Drumond Kaas. Similar darkness, not so sinister creatures, people who attack on sight, fallen Jedi
You know, one thing you as a viewer don't immediately realize when watching this arch is that the clones as a whole are really the bad guys here. The Umbarains are defending their home from an invading force and as a people, they have the right to self determination. Their only crime was to succeed from the Republic, which they should have the right to do.
I've been wondering for a while. If it's just a force field door, and the force field is generated by some gizmos on the sides, and you have a light saber, why not cut the gizmos on the sight and destroy it? Like if you watch the Phantom Menace light saber battler or that part in season one when Ventress locks Ahsoka in a cell for while it seems totally doable.
I still think to this day, and we've had The Bad Batch now, that the Umbara arc is the best shot episodes of SW animation yet. The design, the lighting (especially), the urgency of the battles; its just stunningly good.
It's crazy how much knowledge Filoni has of all George Lucas's intentions with the prequels and this show. He truly is the man's protege in every sense of the word. He continues to blow me away with how he continues to carry on George's legacy to this day! Filoni is the savior of modern Star Wars!
Ah, the Darkness on Umbara. Second ONLY to one other episode arc; 🤣 D-Squad; starring; R2-D2, QT-KT, U9-C4, M5-BZ, (RIP 🙏) and their DUM-series pit droid pilot, Corporal WAC-47! May Colonel Meebur Gascon FINALLY receive his long-awaited and well-earned promotion to Brigadier General! 👍
I can't believe when they get to that pivotal scene where the Jedi is executed, The're all talking about how their wife's have to many cushions on the bed.
11:22 Interesting how Lucas came to reimagine the Clone Wars by the time of TCW where the Republic, Separatists, and corporations are all three distinct groups, as opposed to the corporations leading the Separatists in a rebellion against the Republic as implied by the prequels
![Gunna - HIM ALL ALONG [Official Visualizer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HiCxoDeo0hc/mqdefault.jpg)
The Umbara arc, also known as Dee Baker falls to insanity from talking to himself for hours on end.
You'd go insane voicing so many characters!
Not to mention all the death screams.
most of the death screams are already recorded from years ago. you can tell most of them are re-used from previous episodes.
Lucas Hagg I have never thought of that before. How Dee Baker must have felt, just talking to him self. With occasional interactions with Krell.
Most of the death screams were from the movie
In my opinion, this was THE BEST part in all of The Clone Wars series.
Freddy__Fast I would agree if less 501st died ;-;
definitely, it was so sad and honestly dark and gritty.
GeneralHappyDeath agreed. This and Ahsoka the fugitive were the best arcs of the entire series (well just until we get the bad batch, Ahsoka’s journey and the Siege of Mandalore in the finale season).
What about "Maul's Empire" and "Ahsoka Framed"?

''Wolffe is a fashionista...''
Robinson Cruz Ramírez Because of Obi Wan?
The fact that Umbara was supposed to be a jungle has really cemented my theory that this arc was heavily inspired by the Vietnam war.
Walter Murch was an editor on Apocalypse Now.
Considering how vocal Lucas was against the Vietnam war (especially how he compared Palpatine's rise to Nixon's administration) I wouldn't be surprised if this arc allowed him to fully express his feelings about the War
I mean the whole arc is pretty much a tribute to Apocalypse Now, so not much of a theory
Star Wars is basically young revolutionaries against evil corporations, empires and genocides in space.
All of Star Wars was originally based on the Vietnam war
Although you may laugh and joke, I consider the Umbara arc to be a cinematic experience better than any war movie to date. This is my favorite of the series.
It's an incredible work of art.
Jason Q agreed 👍
Jason Q better than Black Hawk Down or saving private Ryan? That's stretching it
Royce Blackwater those movies, although vivid, live action thrillers are direct comparisons and possibly influential in this case. Saving private Ryan must have had a direct influence (just my guess). I had these movies in mind when making my comparison. This is my opinion.
It's the Star Wars version of ''Paths Of Glory'' and it's great.
Talking about drapes and pillows in padmes apartment whilst general krell is about to be executed haha

"Someday this war is gonna end."
"Then what? We're soldiers. What happens to us then?"
"If we'd left with Rex, we wouldn't have to owe Cid at all."
"He's on a different path then us."
"Hunter, we're soldiers. What other path is there?"

I think it was the producer, since I think Francis Ford Coppola would be a bit too old now

they made my childhood
For me this and wwe were staples of high school
This was one of my favorite arcs from the show

it mirrors what happens in the real world tbh

I always Loved The Clones but This was The Arc that really made them My Favorite Characters In All Of Star Wars. Especially Rex, Fives And Echo.
The Scene where Rex realizes that They're shooting at their own Brothers is so Heartbreaking and when Waxer dies it's always so emotional. I wanted to just destroy Krell after that Scene. And The Fact that Dogma, The most Loyal of them all to Krell was the one to kill Him was just The Perfect Ending to it all.

I think what makes Umbara even better is the hints at Episode III and Order 66.
We see Krell be viewed as a heroic Jedi and then become much worse, like how the galaxy looked at the Jedi as heroes but then believed they were the bad guys.
We see clones fighting a Jedi and then doing whatever they can to take him down, which massively hints at Order 66. Especially when it’s the 501st and 212th who gets the most Order 66 scenes. And there’s Dogma, who is loyal to the Republic and chain of command and he executes a Jedi because he “betrayed” them and the Republic.

And then we see the clones view in themselves and what they think of the war, their place in it and then their place after it.
It’s just these little things that are the universe feel so connected and connect the movies and animated shows even better.

But a clone breaks one of their helmets in a scene and he like suffocates or something due to air?
@@swampfoxproductions4184 I guess it's just a feeling of suddenly coming off that high
XD I knew from the ending of the first episode that krell would be sith. the yellow eyes and before it ends the fire... also that you so much for having this posted on your channel it's great
Sith?
Nah he ain't a Sith, "Only two there are." Krell saw the corruption of the Republic and realised that it wasn't what it used to be, so he turned sides and tried to take it down from the inside, or at least hinder it. Leading from the frontlines to command suicide missions gave him the opportunity wipe out as many troops as he could without directly fighting against them.
That was the second episode.
I love watching everyone give kilian a hard time
you know, looking back, Umbara kind of reminds me of Drumond Kaas. Similar darkness, not so sinister creatures, people who attack on sight, fallen Jedi
You know, one thing you as a viewer don't immediately realize when watching this arch is that the clones as a whole are really the bad guys here. The Umbarains are defending their home from an invading force and as a people, they have the right to self determination. Their only crime was to succeed from the Republic, which they should have the right to do.
i really wish that krell was left as just a heartless jedi commander instead of a moustache twirling villain
20:45
It's just as well that didn't happen with the main character 😂😂😂
I've been wondering for a while. If it's just a force field door, and the force field is generated by some gizmos on the sides, and you have a light saber, why not cut the gizmos on the sight and destroy it? Like if you watch the Phantom Menace light saber battler or that part in season one when Ventress locks Ahsoka in a cell for while it seems totally doable.
Coming here after season 7...”Good soldiers follow orders”...
I still think to this day, and we've had The Bad Batch now, that the Umbara arc is the best shot episodes of SW animation yet. The design, the lighting (especially), the urgency of the battles; its just stunningly good.
The Umbara campaign must of been hell on Earth for the 501st. Kinda reminds me to the real world event of the Omaha beach landing.
It's crazy how much knowledge Filoni has of all George Lucas's intentions with the prequels and this show. He truly is the man's protege in every sense of the word. He continues to blow me away with how he continues to carry on George's legacy to this day! Filoni is the savior of modern Star Wars!
I would have loved if Krell got his own season.
Krell.... UGH!!! Anyways, can I steal Filoni's shirt? I like the Wolfpack symbol.
writers did a great job at making us sympathize with people who would commit genocide a few seasons later
Ah, the Darkness on Umbara.
Second ONLY to one other episode arc;
🤣 D-Squad; starring; R2-D2, QT-KT, U9-C4, M5-BZ, (RIP 🙏) and their DUM-series pit droid pilot, Corporal WAC-47!
May Colonel Meebur Gascon FINALLY receive his long-awaited and well-earned promotion to Brigadier General! 👍
Pong Krell was a well-written character! Writers were successful in making him a well-hated villain for justified reasons!
The Umbara Arc is my second favorite arc behind The Siege of Mandalore Arc.
Cut has a swinging door too.
I gotta say watching Dave and the guys talking about pillows was insanely entertaining
I can't believe when they get to that pivotal scene where the Jedi is executed, The're all talking about how their wife's have to many cushions on the bed.
Damm green heads
dirty clone
Oh you wanna go Anthony ? XD
Lt Mentle (wow that response time)
Bring it human reject umbaran tech far out classes those dumb Walker's
Yea well atleast I can speak a sensible language while you air baskets spit out gibberish you shadow huggers
an army of toy soldiers is no match for loyal umbaran men!
It's actually called "Separatist Supply Ship"
always get in a good mood watching these documentaries
I’m pretty sure it was the space battle sequence in this arc that sold me on the show. I saw it on TV and i was like “wooah”
And then the senate was like: yeah but the trains ran on time
I’m dead
I wonder if, when they are talking about the plant monster, they are referring to Audrey 2 from Little Shop Of Horrors?
The Vietnam of the clone wars
I never noticed that the seps had zeppelin type ships in that battle
This arc is the best part of the whole show
Best story arc in the series!
I still need to know, HOW MANY PILLOWS DID KRELL HAVE?!
11:22 Interesting how Lucas came to reimagine the Clone Wars by the time of TCW where the Republic, Separatists, and corporations are all three distinct groups, as opposed to the corporations leading the Separatists in a rebellion against the Republic as implied by the prequels
It should be interesting to see what carries over from TCW's arc to SWTOR's "Crisis on Umbara."
This explained so much to me.
Well, the supply ship is officially a DH Omni support vessel
i can’t believe they did NOT EVEN MENTION Hardcase’s heroic sacrifice.... SMH.
I would love to see the corruption of a fan favorite character throughout the series
*cough* Anakin *cough*
22:30 all I can think of now is Pong Krell with two body pillows and I can't stop laughing
The Fact that Filoni said that Krell has a Body pillow, thus making it at least a little Canon fills me with unnatural amounts of Fear.
Can you please do the season 6 featurette especially about the Fives arc? Please!!!!!! :)
+Kakashi Girl There was only one featurette for Season 6. You can find it here:
ruclips.net/video/zvT3JPLDHBE/видео.html
these episodes gave me 🌠TRAUMA🌠
19:20 does anyone else notice the clone who stupidly lunged forward at the jedi
Why is the audio off on all these videos?
I was having issues with the ripping software that I was using. I did end up getting it sorted but didn't re-upload a few of the videos.
It's called a supply ship
No one:
Auto Captions: YEAH YOU GOTTA MOVE ALL THESE TOES
I thought sergeant Appo would have been the person to shoot Krell, instead of dogma
this needs to be series on D+
15:02 When your friend slips you a dodgy pill
these guys made a dark vietnam for the clone wars
