The rain vaporizing on the lightsabers into steam streaks is so bad ass that I can't believe it never made it into any of the movies
Which is odd, considering Attack of the Clones had Obi-wan fighting Jango Fett on Kamino.
It was in that exact scene on kamino. It was in the movies
@@nakeysnakey6220 I don't remember visible steam coming off the lightsaber at any point. Which is my point
@@xslonk might be due to budget or time constraints. It's more likely it was an oversight, though.
tartovsky is the only kind of guy that would have even have thought to do that, the people that make the movies now are vapid
What I love the most about this duel is how minimalistic it is. No dialogue. No witty batter. Just an expertly crafted fight. To me, I always interpreted Anakin’s rage coming from both the Dark Side and the Clone Troopers who were murdered. I will never forget that scream. Never.
YES. You put into words what makes Tartovsky’s style so artful and dramatic. No dialogue interrupting the fight. Pure tension, action.
Nah bro that rage was against the counsel and how they tried to control him and not understand the chosen one
And r4
true, another hint at the dark side is he wielding a red saber as well, very dramatic how he didn't simply grab it, but slowly levitates it ignited with it's red color, and picks it up with his robotic hand, this scene, this entire fight is very well done.
No need to speak, just let the actors, or in this case the artists show emotion. So simple and yet they just tell us everything now.
1:46 Ventress: "Your fall will be my ascension to the Sith."
The irony is that as the Clone War progressed, Ventress was pulled back from the dark into the light (or at least neutral), while Anakin was pulled from the light into the dark, and actually became a Sith. Poetic.
At the end of her life Ventress was pulled back to the light after giving her life to save Quinlan Vos, showing that always was good in her
@@cujohjosefumi1252I knew there was good in her since she showed compassion for her sisters and saved Obi Wan trom Maul
also that time she was on a bounty hunt mission and she had to deliver a “package” to that ugly Mafia man and when she found out it’s a girl, she gave her back to her brother (with compensation, of course)
@@cujohjosefumi1252she then went into the unknown regions to live a peaceful life after, until TCW ruined her, grevious, deleted durge with a shitty replacement with fucking cade bane, hell TCW even fucked anakain up because with how he acts in TCW how the hell did he ever fall when he was always mr nice guy with the occasional dark streak.
Despite the jokes of him in the multi media clone wars, anakin is a developed character who over the course of the war from various trials caused him to fall and it took two years and with heavy help from obi-wan for the council to finally (although reluctantly) promote anakin to a knight and stop treating him like a child.
It was only after that time from 3-4 years of fighting that he went from being the hero of the republic (and he did eventually act like how he does in TCW) for him to start regressing back into the angry person we saw him in AOTC and the early clone wars.
Plus anakain had a greater ordeal of events that caused him to fall in the EU, learning how to stop the dark reaper from ulic qel droma, his duel with ventress, the battle of jabim and many other events all culminated into what happened in revenge of the sith.
Where as what in TCW he gets angry because filonis jail bait waifu gets exiled because they fucked over barris offee as a character to do that?

The reason this show works so well is because Genndy Tartakovsky (creator of Samurai Jack and Primal) intentionally focuses on the emotions of a show and not the dialogue. I believe this is because he moved to America from another country and was uncomfortable speaking the language initially. The main knock against Star Wars is usually the conversations and dialogue (George is not the best at writing conversations). So what you get is amazing animation and action that focuses on the emotional aspects of Star Wars, which are what have kept people in love with the story for decades. We were truly lucky to get this series, probably was before its time.
5:39 those rain drops were PURPOSELY meant to sound like Vader's breathing. God I love this show.

Anakin cared more about R4 than the clones realtalk

they all ripoffs of Jango dude kinda sucke anyways
Most weren't even killed. She just threw one guy into the water. That was it. The only guy who probably died was the fucker Frisbeeing through the air.
Disturbed Dude, the guy in front of the exploding ship
well it's obi-wans so he has to take care of him
I appreciate these scenes, it shows more and more why Anakin turned to the darkside, how him embracing his anger got RESULTS....It makes sense that in times of struggle and stress he would consistenly turn to it, it was reliable above all else...helped him defeat Asajj and Dooku...why not turn to it full time?? "All this discipline and shutting off my emotions gets me nowhere"
Hello baby
Exactly
@@andrewcruz3837big cringe
@@227bdiddy yeah we get it your gay
Peace is a lie....
7:24 A perfect nod to the ending of Vader's battle with Luke in ROTJ. All semblance of technique or discipline is gone as he just hacks away furiously, driven only by pure rage and aggression. But unlike Luke, who was able to stop himself and see what he was becoming before being driven over the edge, Anakin lets the Dark Side fully take over as he sends Ventress plummeting to her (presumed) death. It's a rather ironic end for Ventress, as she sought to embrace the Dark Side and learn the ways of the Sith, but in attacking Anakin, she unwittingly unleashed a far more terrifying force (no pun intended) that she was completely unprepared for, and who wielded the Dark Side far better than her just by letting his emotions get the best of him. She ultimately served to be just another domino to fall that led to Anakin's inevitable fall to become Vader. Tartakovsky will forever be the author of the *_true_* Clone Wars, for my money.
Man this is the comment I was looking for. Great Luke reference and great thoughts on how Ventress contributed to Anakin's fall.
Also, great writing.
Anakin finishes the fight by constantly slamming his saber into his opponents kinda like how Luke finishes Vader
Eric Arellano I never noticed that parallel. Good catch.
Actually, in the CGI Clone wars cartoon, Anakin does the same, i think vene whne hes fighting Count Doku in episode 3
This fight actually shows some emotion... Especially at the end. It was done perfectly.
My thoughts exactly man.
Eric Arellano He made daddy proud
Genndy Tartakovsky, the genius who created Samurai Jack made this cartoon. His art style is perfect for drama, action and stunning environments. It was such a perfect fit for Star Wars.
@Council of Ricks
I was wondering why this looked so similar to Samurai Jack.
He made the Dexter's Laboratory too hehe.
It's about as subtle as chicken pox, but it more than makes up for it with how beautifully unique it is. Almost every scene in Samurai Jack is museum-worthy.
I saw the same, especially the facial features and environment
Thank you captain obvious. We hadn't noticed.🙄
The rain starting in the pre-duel stare off is one of the most badass animation I've ever seen
That scream at the end is so visceral. It says everything without saying anything. To me, it conveys "What have I done? I've won, but at what cost?" That scream has anger, guilt, shame, pain and many more undescribable feelings in it. That moment really sells Anakin's fall to the dark side. Kudos to the voice actor for nailing that scene!
Is it REALLY 'turning to the Dark side' if the person he unleashed his wrath on DESERVED it? He had been forced to hold back a LOT of negative emotions over his years with the Jedi order and Asaaj brought it to the surface
If anything it cements the failure of the Order's teachings
@@jeremyallen5974It isn't that he killed her, it's more that Anakin took the wrong path by being so wrathful.
A Jedi needs to be aware of the situation around them and fight for the most moral and ethical outcome but needs to be detached about the evil they face. Anakin wasn’t detached - he let his rage and frustration to drive his attack. It doesn’t matter if he could have reached the same result without using his anger - he did and that is not the Jedi way.
@@jeremyallen5974 Did you watch the original trilogy, or at least Return of the Jedi where “turning to the dark side” is exactly what you describe right here?
That scream truly is up there with KENOOOOBIIIIAAAAAAAIIII!!!!
The rain interacting with the lightsaber was so good for the mood. It made the scene so much more suspenseful and cool
If you think about it, it fits the characters too. Maybe they were playing it out in their heads before one made a move against the other.
I know what Anakin was doing. Using the Force to rejuvenate himself to fight further. Meanwhile, Ventress was just reveling in her power instead of preparing for the next round.
It's the one thing I remember from when I first saw this as a kid, I got chills back then and now

It is really cool ngl, but it doesnt make sense. IN the beggining of the season 5 reboot clone wars, they had like 3 episodes underwater
I love how lightsaber reacts to the rain!
Who doesn't?!
For some reason it made me slightly cringe, making me think how a saber reacts to blood when it strikes an enemy
@@christophersanchez7731 now I have imagined this as well and it makes it BETTER! When someone gets stabbed slowly you can imagine them immediately starting to bleed and all the blood evaporating on the blade inside their body, with the release cauterizing the wound. Makes the impaling much more gruesome
I like rain. It's wet and smooth and it gets everywhere.
As much as I love the grievous fight in this series, this fight is why I love the series 5:40 if you listen closely the water droplets are the same sound and pitch as darth vaders iconic breathing symbolising Vader taking over. Also notice how much more ventress struggles against his ruthlessness from this point onward
Finally when he picks up her lightsaber I believe is the first “Vader moment”
Woahhh! You're absolutely right!
I think his first "Vader moment" would be when he slaughtered the entire village of Sand People. And not just the men, but the women and the children...
@@darkstreamfish2729They’re like animals!
That sounds like a cool hypothesis but are you sure you're just not reaching abit there. Can you explain more

These cartoons leading up to episode 3 were the highlight of my youth. The excitement each week was unreal. To me, these will always be what is canonical between episodes 2 and 3.

“Clone lives matter”
Something's not right . Lol
Drake Fire jajajaj
You can see Anakins fighting style cycle through Obi Wan in the beginning. With swift, fluid stikes. In the end, it's Vader, with powerful lunges and less defense. Man this show is a masterpiece
And so defensive, just like your Soresu master.
Less defense? he is defending way better and not just that, his counter attacks!
He’s just an unstoppable force after the face off it was over for him he wanted her bad
He ignored everything and just came after her and he will never stop
Tht all comes with a good defense sometimes it’s his powerful offense that helps him stay alive
He also jumped over her while she had the high ground a throw forward to the duel with obi wan
No wonder anakin was so confident
Anakin's style was mainly offensive, supported with solid defence to immediately switch into counterattack. He's also built like a tank. Tall (188 cm, though Hayden is closer to 183 cm) and muscular due to being a longtime warrior.
@@masterexploder9668 yeah to sum up his style is an counter puncher in terms of fighting. He crates opening with strikes to then set up the counter a very aggressive style to counter punching
Popular real life guys that kinda do that are guys like Conor mcgregor, Crawford in boxing and sometimes Canelo
To counter you need defense but it’s different to the way obi wan uses it
Tartakovsky’s magic! No music, just the natural sounds of a jungle with the humming Lightsaber with every raindrop. It’s like watching Blade Runner with the jazzy notes. This is a combination of Star Wars (Before disney) and Samurai Jack. Pulls all your attention into the screen in the present moment. Brilliant.
I love how at 7:06 most of Anakin's head turns red from the lightsaber and the music starts to build up, a subtle little detail letting us know that Vader is fighting not Anakin.
*“**7:05**.”*
When an 8 minute cartoon keeps my interest and excitement a 100 times more than the last jedi ever did.
LukePomotowski Yeah I feel betrayed
Don't hate last Jedi was tight.
Jermeko Cassel The only thing tight was my eyes cuz I was closing them shut during Last Jedi.
Surreal Resonance Who exactly??
4 hints.
It's not LukePomotowski.
It's not Mohamed El Kayal.
It's not Chicken Nuggetmaster360.
It's not me.
She had the high ground and still lost.. no wonder Anny thought he could take Obi.
Zing.
She didn’t know how to use it unlike obi wan
Obi-Wan seriously knows how to trick the enemy. Here, the floor wasn't lava
😂
He used the same flip move too
That yell at the end is so primal. It's like he's not even human at that point, just an animal. The alpha of a herd defeating the wolf that slaughtered his flock, just bellowing into the void - sheer victory, no joy.
The choreography of this show was fucking amazing, 20 years later and I’m still thinking about it kudos to the animators.
7:28
I love how you can see the shock and disappointment in Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Yodas face as Anakin mercilessly attacks Ventress
This act of hate and anger foreshadowed Anakin turning evil

Honestly this shows the darkness growing within Anakin way better than any of the movies did and I actually liked the prequals
Dawson Alvarez also the use of his robotic arm. It was never seen being used as an advantage in the movies. Its cool to see him crushing asajj’s wrist with it
@@michaelmcdonald2792 In the clone wars show he gets in a fist fight and a guy tries to punch his robotic fist. Long story short, it didn't work out well.

@@miguelcondadoolivar5149 story wise 2008 is amazing, but no other star wars series can hold a candle to the action directing in 2003 clone wars
Both series are enjoyable for drastically different reasons. There's really no point in comparing the two.
@@MrLeronne swtor animated films do
I swear, you are gonna be as famous as Justin Y.😂
Watching this years later, I can definitely see Vader appear towards the end of this fight. The ruthlessness, the strength behind each lightsaber strike and the sheer speed and precision. Anakin did not win this fight, Vader did.
Jon Arbuckle definitely, I love the lack of dialogue in this show I especially liked when anakin loses his lightsaber and whenever he catches her hands the red of the lightsaber shines in his face and the sun or moon is red to show his slow decline to the dark side
Well said
But for some shitty reasons, this movie is no more canonical.
Spyro Synaes Symbio blame Disney’s agenda, they made expanded universe non canon just to fit with their shit story telling with their PC and feminist characters
@@SocksFC dam Mary sue
This was the one fight that completely dropped my jaw. I remember watching several anime and other games or cartoons and while waiting to see what the great masters looked like in combat, but other than bigger explosions and so on you don’t really get the feeling that you’re watching masters because there’s practically no technique involved. Just more powerful characters than the others.
But this! Oh boy this! Really puts you on the edge of your seat. That’s how you animate a masters duel.
I like how different this is from normal fight scenes, instead of pointless dialog, it was pure silence as they both read each other and we could hear each little thing happening in the fight, from the sound of the bugs, the humming of the sabers, the droplets of rain, to even the slight sounds of thunder from afar, it was all eloquently conveyed to flow along with what we were seeing instead of polluting it with useless banter and chit chat.
I wish this type of fight scene would have spread out to other animators, but it only stuck with Tartakovsky.
This was the shit back in the day.
Remember Mace Windu punching Super Battle Droids?

This is the single most underrated fight in all Star Wars media. The tension, the pacing, the sense of danger, the way the fight progresses through the environment, the moments it takes to stop and take a breath, the rain interacting with the sabers, and of course the glimpse of Vader we see at the end. Seriously one of the best duels in Star Wars.
Most underrated fight with over a million views and everyone salivatin' over it. Right
@@kaihedgie1747 Clearly you don't understand how massive Star Wars is or the concept of repeat viewers
@@kaihedgie1747 Even with a million views it still is.
Honestly I think with a higher budget, this animated series could’ve been a HUGE hit
That's Genndy Tartakovsky for you, a master of fight sequences
Anakin straight up brute forcing his way through a Force Push up a flight of stairs is the most bad ass thing ive ever seen in Star Wars.
Genndy Tartakovsky has always been great at punctuating action and violence with moments of calm or tension. I liked the detail of the rain hitting the lightsaber and evaporating, with increasing steam when it starts raining harder.
Anakin: *holding Asajj’s saber in the air,nice and calm*
Anakin 2 seconds later: *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!*
Edit: yeah I get that he isn’t calm now, I made this comment like 5 years ago. Calm down
You think he did the same thing shortly after he butchered that entire village of Tusken Raiders?
Andrew Brigmond probably way worse
@@Itsnobigdeal420 Yeah. Probably.

It was shot like Anakin was watching all that shenanigans.
Right? I just commented that (4 years into the future)
Who says naw anymore?
Hmm I really don't think you need the force to figure that one out and yet this is the chosen one lol
nawone does
Anyone else really love how Anakin just tank ventress’s force push at 6:27
This and the two Lucas trilogies will always be my head canon. I feel like Anakin’s fall to the dark side is way less plausible in the 2008 clone wars. I feel like this battle and s2 of clone wars does a much better job of bridging the gap between episode II & III, showing Anakin’s growing power and his desire to protect those around him. As his power grows, it grows out of control (as we see in the cave vision in s2!!!) For me, the 2008 clone wars Anakin feels like the light-side alternate history version, while this feels like a believable lead-up to Revenge of the Sith. Hats off to Tartakovsky.
Same. 6 films + this clone wars series (Rogue One could be considered a decent supplement "if needed" to gap the trilogies) is what I believe to be the full Star Wars story before the creativity ran out and milking process started (and will no doubt continue for many years to come). I am satisfied. I do not need more :)
@@green_of_greyyou don't need rogue one if you played the battlefront 2 campaign
6:26 Anakin tanking a force push is still one of the most badass things I’ve seen in a Star Wars fight, I absolutely love this series, glad I got the DVDs.
I figure it’s the same principle as Vader blocking Obi-Wan’s Force push on Mustafar, except Anakin was definitively stronger than Ventress and didn’t need to concentrate nearly as much to shield himself.
This is something I haven’t seen before quite impressive to break though it
Agreed. This Clone Wars series is awesome. I just wish they explained how Ventress got off Yavin 4 if Anakin took her ship and the other ships were destroyed.
@@gogetathestrongestfusion There's a lot of abilities you don't see force-users doing, force speed for instance.
@@theopportuneson699 vader did it vs ahsoka in rebels. She pushed him and he just slid back a bit. Ahsoka is stronger than ventress too
WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS CARTOON?
This was gorgeous. This was a Star Wars fight. The cuts, the edits, the hold of images, the breathing, the scenery, THE VADER MOMENT.
This was absolutely fantastic!
When it originally aired, it was sort of snuck out there, in between regularly scheduled cartoons, and never really received a huge hype. Oh it's been praised and well received, and fans love it, but it's kind of just been around rather than hugely talked about and hyped. You almost have to know of its existence already to know to look for it.
Because its not on Hulu, Netflix or Amazon Prime and DvD production was cancelled in 2004 - the only way to see this is to own the DvD or watch it from online - that and it was also originally a series that had 9-11 episodes and once the series was cancelled most people just fused all the Episodes into a movie - personally i love the way they display the Clones in this series much more than the 2008 Clone Wars
90s residue
Because you were born too late
Salazar Ravenclaw It wasnt cancelled tho? It ends right where episode III begins, as it was meant to.
From 5:44 until the end, anyone else ever get the same vibes from when Vader fought Luke in Empire Strikes back during the third encounter. The darkness, the ambush, and most importantly: the way the saber is being held. Whenever Anakin/Vader is mega pissed and fighting, he swings his lightsaber less like a sword and more like a savage baseball bat. The rawness as Anakin and Vader in AoC, Empire Strikes Back, and even Force Unleashed is legendary
I have never actually seen the old clone wars cartoon. This is astounding. The choreography of the lightsaber battle. Everything looks like it was well thought out and even the use of the force was great. It would absolutely make sense that a force push depending on the strength of the push could be barged through as it isn't an unstoppable force just a force measured by the strength of user using it. Really shows off how the "Shiny and New" isn't always good, especially when it concerns current day disney. This is on a level that producers over their only wished they could achieve.
Dude go watch it it's amazing and it's short enough to watch all the way through in one sitting. Genndy never fails to make a compelling animated show.
ITs easy to forget how good this was after being served the dogwater Disney calls "Star Wars"
Man, kids back then were lucky to be greeted with this level of quality, storytelling and the fantastic choreography in this animated series of Star Wars.
For real dude. This was the first Star Wars anything I ever saw and nothing else lived up to it (Rogue One is close).
The rain drops steaming and sizzling on lightsabers will forever be the coolest thing in Star Wars to me.
All of us is lucky..... very VERY lucky..... unlike most kids today..... I feel bad for them knowing more about the First Order better than they did to the Republic and Galactic Empire..... but fortunately..... not every kids is like that but still
Alex Sung That Fight Scene with Anakin vs Asajj Ventress was The Most Surprisingly Best Fight Scene of The Entire Series!!! 🙃😉🤩😁
@@jedibrolo3551 We got friggin Genndy Tartakovsky to thank for
It was more action than stories
This has perfect build up to the fight. It has a beginning, middle and end. It all builds up to the climax, then it cools down after Asajj falling. That's how you do an action scene!! They better take note of this in the next film.
Dylan Fagan sadly, not only they didn't do this kind of fight....In TLJ there are zero to no builds up to fightings.
That last bit was amazing especially. You could see the moment he truly unleashes his dark side strength.
Михаил Потапов seriously the last good star wars movie was rogue one and thats considered a prequel, disney needs to step up its game with the new generation starwars.
you guys are idiots..you clearly have no idea about anything
Dylan Fagan here after episode 8. Sorry lmao Disney don't give a damn about old Star Wars fans
7:05 from this moment with the frame color and Duel of Fates just bangin in you know things are about to Vader on, but the strikes with Qui Gon, Obi Wan & Yoda are just like.. man, what are you doing to me? Leave the guy be, misunderstood genius, ahead of his time ndaaaa
The end scene where he is wailing on her (like Luke did to Vader in RoTJ) gabe me chills. I love how animated Anakin in this looks more like Luke than in any other portrayal.
Love when Anakin tanks the force push at 6:26.
Putin Puppet just realized that push knocks off his outer robes
@@MegaNinjaRyan pushed? It ripped them to shreds!
Nice catch!
Then he sends Ventress flying through a wall. She even had the wtf look on her face when he did that.
This has a very nearly force unleashed vibe to me. One of my favorite parts of how those games work is just how brutal they make the force. I'm honestly surprised we don't have more star wars movies/games doing the same.
Ventress SHITS herself when she realises who she's really fighting towards the end. She knows Anakin isn't a 'regular' Jedi - he has some deep connections to the darkside, leagues beyond her own. Probably the strongest Sith presence shes ever felt before tumbling down that canyon.
Ronbo Fett so true you can see it in his style and how ventress saw something nothing else in par with count doku or anyone she has ever seen if presence even dark sidious and you can feel his presence miles away
Yeah. Anakin may not have ever been about choke outs and lightning in this series, but you can tell he gets stronger the angrier he gets. And he is beyond pissed in this fight. That force push he uses after deflecting the column damn near obliterated the staircase Asajj was standing on.
He does choke people out in this series with the force. He crushed one of the alien guys throats in one episode for his force journey. Pretty epic and scary
I. Th. Of course Sidious knew because he and his master were the ones that impregnated his mother with the force 😂. Their scheme is what made everything happen: the clone production, the fall of the previous chancellor, entry of Palpatine into the Senate and then chancellor seat, and even the very creation of the "chosen one."
Ronbo Fett probably. Anakin was the single strongest Force wielder ever.
No exception.
The absolute disrespect in the way he just nonchalantly tosses her saber into the canyon when he's done, like he's saying she wasn't even worth the time and energy fighting with.
That was a peak Vader thing to do right there.
This series might have been peak prequel era.
This is so much better than anything Disney/Star Wars could possibly shit out.
Ventress: It's over, Jedi! I have the high ground.
Skywalker: You underestimate my power!
Ventress: Don't try it.
(Two minutes later..)
Ventress: But...but...I had the high ground...
Skywalker: Sure, you did.
Fuck. you made this joke first..
Ventress thought the high ground was her ally, but Obi Wan was born in it, molded by it. Obi Wan didn't see the low ground until he was a man but by then it was nothing but blinding
There is a difference between being in higher ground, and having THE High Ground. Only one Jedi could master the old arts of the High Ground, that's why everybody who isn't him loses...
High Ground rules only work for Jedi and other good guys. Darth Maul and General Grievous tried to use it, and they were either killed or gravely wounded.
Lance Curry it works for them too, but Obi Wan is THE master of it. You can’t use his own trick against him. Anakin is more skilled in it than most due to being Obi Wans student (as you can see here when he defeats Ventress despite her having the high ground) but even he could not defeat the high ground master.
Asajj: Kills 5 of Anakin's men.
Anakin: is someone there?

The way duel of the fates kicks in as soon as the light of the red lightsaber shines on his face is so beautifully done. It perfectly encompasses the fact that this is no longer Anakin Skywalker, the jedi, this is a man twisted by rage, ready to kill.
Personally, I feel like that this wasn't Anakin's "evil" side, it was his avenging of his clone troopers, his good friend the droid, and his way of correcting the mistake he made by going to Yavin. In other words, I think that it was righteous fury.
On the contrary, Anaking is everything. The Jedi are in power, the SIth are not. Then why have Anakin around to tip the scale towards the sith but the Jedi in their non existent wisedom followed a prophecy regardless.
He used his rage to win the fight, which is literally what "going to the dark side" is. If you think he didn't do anything wrong you wouldn't be a very good Jedi
@@Tonatheos Being a what would be considered a good Jedi at the time of the Clone Wars isn't exactly being a great person
@@pokest45-pz52 Obi-Wan and several other Jedi like Yoda and Mace did not give into their anger during the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan came close during the Darth Maul arc but he still resisted
The entire point of the Jedi is to restrain your emotions and detach yourself from strong feelings because basing your power off your emotions was seen as a weakness to them because it makes you unstable, which is true. Anakin did the exact opposite; he learned that he could win fights when he gave into his anger and that was a slippery slope that led him to turn against the light. And while the dark side might be more powerful, you don't need it to win a fight, so the Jedi just using the dark side as essentially cheating and breaking the rules. You can say what you want about how the Jedi might not have been the best people during the Clone Wars, but they still never give into their rage and emotions. Anakin and Qui-Gon were the only Jedi who really defied the code
@@Tonatheos Unsurprisingly, training children to become robotic sociopaths does not benefit their mental stability, and by extension, their ability to manage and deal with emotions in a healthy way
Ironically, it also causes many to FEAR their emotions
I love how you can see Anakin's force abilities simply shitting on Ventress'.
Garrett Seno He definitely has more raw power than she does. But he is the chosen one so what do you expect?
I love how she uses hers better
Illusion I always assumed he was just trying to out duel her in saber combat and not relying on his force abilities
TheBigboi16 Well he certainly was but he was using his force abilities during the duel too. Granted it was mainly lightsaber combat. When he used his powers though he overpowered hers pretty easily.
AdeptKing ok I gotcha
Clone wars from 2003 must be one of the best things ever happened to Star Wars, the simple fact that characters introduced for the first time in here such as Grievous or Ventress (two of my favourite actually) even stayed permanently canon and one of them even got to Episode III just puts a smile on my face
El rey polo not without getting an outrageous downgrade.
@@shard7549 This is actually part of the skywalker saga Stupid name honestly it should be just the Star Wars saga. It goes on for a while then They brought it back with the 2008 cartoons. Turns out this is the very beginning of the clone wars that's why in 2008 the clone wars had already been going on for awhile and anakin has longer hair. And kenobi trimmed his. At least we find the understand how they came to be. Clone wars lasted for a long time.
This was made to fill the gap between episodes 2 and 3. Now it’s under the legends banner.
El rey polo
Grievous was made before 2003 Clone Wars. He was going to be put in the movie regardless.
@@coledavis5212 huh cool
I love how you can see the surprise is ventures's face when anakin launched the piller back at her with ease, it shows just how much more powerful he is compared to other force users
They shows visions of Kenobi, yoda and qui-gon jinn looking on in horror. They should have also added a vision of Sidious looking on in pleasure seeing anakin embracing the darkness.
7:06 this has got to be one of the best scenes in the history of star wars
Did he just break her wrist with his robot hand's strength?
That's freaking awesome
Whenever I hear that music, all I think about is Vader and Luke's duel
the moment vader kicks in
@@morganlasch8750 Isn't that Duel Of The Fates?
Maybe it’s the colour red reflecting, but when Duel of the Fates kicks in, Anakin’s eyes look yellow a tiny bit
Dude... he reflects the pillar back into her smashing her AND dragging her with it up the staircase.
DAM 😮
Paradisio84 immediately after fucking SHOULDER CHARGING STRAIGHT THROUGH A MF FORCE PUSH. What a badass
@Yu Tubaru It was much stranger in the comics because in the fight where he received his scars, Anakin tied Ventress up in live wires using the force and then dropped her from the top of the Coruscant skies while she begged for mercy. Then she reappears again as a cyborg.
8 minutes of Star Wars cartoons from the early 2000s crushes the entire sequel trilogy
I noticed in one of the recent Mandalorian episodes that Anakin Skywalker was referred to as the Enforcer for the Jedi Order. Some may think that reference out of place, but the more I think on it, the more that I find it a perfect description for Anakin's role in the Jedi Order.
he and mace windu were absolutely the most brutal fighters
I love how after we see all the Clone Troopers getting completely wrecked, it cuts to Anakin saying, “something’s not right”
Carlos Gallego The one thing I find weird about this show is that in some episodes Clones are the most badass dudes ever and in others “something’s not right “
Joel Hornburg to be fair, for all we know, all that took place in less than a minute. and no one really made a sound that was noticed until the last trooper. seriously, look at how fast it happens. they all should've died by whiplash alone
I’ve never seen someone shoulder change through a force push before. That’s seriously badass. 6:25
You should see darth malgus take the force push on but then the bitch did kamehameha and he got reckt.
Jelly Jiggler blasted him to the fucking Stone Age.
How does that even work though
@@ashrist621
Simple.
Be built like a brick and have stonger force prowess.
@@ashrist621 Force pushes are like a physical force impacting you. Anakin simply charged through it. Conceding Asajj is strong enough to lift heavy stone pillars and boulders and literally blow up space ships with her force prowess, it really shows how much of a tank Anakin is
That look of shock and fear on Ventress in the end when she realizes she just bit off more than she could chew.
One of the best parts of the Original Clone Wars. This was so well made. This fight works so well, little to no dialogue, the characters and the fight is all you need. Great score too
Ventress should have used the high ground when she had the chance
Alexander Gregory She did, it didn't work though.
NOBLE Seven That's because the high ground only works for Obi-Wan
LOL, Ithink the high ground only fits Obiwan
Alexander Gregory ee
The english to chinese and then to english again dub makes sure to call it superior geographical stance, wich is a technique only usable the day after the fair. Glad that the shitpost dub is more canon than this... the dub is named "Backstroke of the west" and is on youtube, enjoy...
switching to a sith's red lightsaber nice foreshadowing
It was the kind of brilliance Genndy had demonstrated in the past with shows like Samurai Jack. Maybe we should just give the rights to Star Wars to Genndy?
I. Th. Does she? I thought she died?
She does.
That is if we take both this and the 2008 animated series as both being cannon(that is to say, if both seris actually happened) She shows up in episodes that take place after this.
We totally should have given the series to Tartakovsky. He'd know what to do with it.
I hate to be that guy I would have to argue that the 2008 show takes place before this, as this leads right up to the 3rd movie
This cartoon did such a great job at establishing the lethality of the Clone Wars villains. Ventress taking out an entire squad of troopers without even touching them is just awesome.
The only reason Ventress was dispatched to Yavin 4 was an attempts to push Anakin to his limits, unknowingly furthering his gradual descent into the dark side. A means to an end. Sideous had basically sent Asajj to her death.
I love the way the rain hits the lightsabers and turns to steam. An effect they didn’t do in the last Jedi or attack of the clones. This cartoon series paid more attention to detail than the movies.
Czordas Yeah that’s kinda cool, I never thought about before I saw this.
Usually animations pays more attention to detail than live action
that scream....
He always does that man... Remember the "NOOOOOOO" at the end of episode 3 :(
Hhhuuuuuuuuuuuuu.......
Am I loud? Yea
The moment when Anakin became Space Kratos........
HolyknightVader999 if only he would have stayed this op.
considering this came from the same guy who made Samurai Jack, I think the only thing missing was: "WHO ELSE WANTS SOME!!?" :P
6:21 haha that head twirl is SUCH a Gendy Tartakovsky thing
6:25 damn Anakin really just did that
When Anakin/Vader puts his mind to something, rarely anything can stop him.
Rad Anims bro it’s the fucking chosen one!! I’m sure he force pushed himself through her force push , seeing his clothes rip
Hows this confusing you?
@@johnnygyro2295 the high ground was pretty effective
@@VeritasEspiritoria
That's why I said "rarely."
Despite her character has been less developed in comparison to the 3D series, I think I prefer this version better. The moment when Asajj seems to realize too late she was just a pawn to draw Anakin further toward the dark side and not Dooku’s apprentice as they made her believe... It’s perfect as it is.
BlackDragon-kin it has the same development, but in less screen time, you can see his relations with Obi-Wan going from bashing to true appreciation at the end, which led him to RoTS
BlackDragon-kin The Karen Traviss clone wars novel did the best job of developing Assaj's character in my opinion.
It's only a single novel. But it gives tremendous insight into her thoughts and emotions. More so than the entire series.
BlackDragon-kin the Clone Wars multimedia project did a far better job asajj Ventress character TCW turned what was once a badass character into a sjw cosplaying as asajj Ventress then again she's not the only character TCW ruined it also ruined General Grievous, Quinlan VOS and barriss offee.
Honestly liked her more in this tbh, idk why
BlackDragon-kin I like the ways she’s presented; she appears more threatening, and fights more aggressive!
holy fucking shit, i was searching for years to find this. the most incredible fighting scene in a 2D cartoon in like forever, you could literally feel the pain and agony anakin was going thru when he completely obliterated asajj at the end.
perfect.
Best Anime shorts ever made.... these were so good. Obi Wans fights with that general, Mace Windoos fights with the droids, the episode where Grievious kills a squad of Jedi...are my favorite episodes.
In case you're interested, that commander's name was Durge. He's a Gen'Dai bounty hunter who lived for thousands of years.
I don't care what Disney says: this show will be forever canon in my heart. It literally bridges the gap between Episodes II and III. This show ends right where ROTS begins... How is this NOT canon, Disney? Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
I know.
This make no fucking sense at all.
it is canon it leads into the other clone wars cartoon
I totally agree.
because before disney took over this was replaced by the clone wars tv show anyways. lucas film, in the last season (the one that didn't come out cause disney cancelled it), even planned what kenobi and skywalker were doing right before the chancellor was kidnapped. imo some of the show should be canon, but not all of it
FUCK AHSOKA this is the real clone wars
I like how the rain actually turns to vapour on the lightsabers
That effect was first used in Jedi Outcast.
I always wonder why the lightsabers didn't have that kind of effect under the water in "The Clone Wars" episodes.
Beautifully choreographed fight…..love it!
6:58 this honestly now fit so well with the Obi wan show flashback of pandawan Anakin training with obi wan even after he lost his lightsaber he still pushed through really learning his lesson even if your weapons is gone the fight isn’t over
Now THIS is what a fight between jedi and sith should be!!
Before Anakin knocks her down the cliff. We see images if Qui Gon Jin, Yoda, and His Master Obi Won. They sense the rage flowing through Anakin Ashe kept attacking Vintress. It's a sad reflection of the future to come. Anger leads to fear, fear leads to hate, hate leads to suffering!!!
Tony S Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering*
@Graphiar no u
Chicken leds to egg, egg leads to omelette, omelette leads to fecal urgency
Suffering leads to hate, hate leads to anger, anger leads to fear
Yoda's words are meaningless, don't quote htem.
If these words had value, then how did the sith manage to defeat them?? Oh right, patience that was built up throughout the three prequel films then an act of urgency in the third film. The sith ultimately won because the Jedi lacked in their duties and didn't bother to understand the sith of their time were far smarter than the sith of old.
I love how Anakin's repeated slamming of his lightsaber at the end mirrors Luke's aggression against Vader in Return of the Jedi.
This scene right here is why i love Genndy's animation: he is a masterclass of vissual storytelling. I like how he puts some details like Anakin going literally to the Dark (5:38) to face Asajj or when he is outside and loses his Blue Lightsaber, having to use the Red one to finish his opponent (and the big Red Moon in the background that reinforces that Anakin was growing strong in the Dark Side). But my favorite is definitely at 7:24 when he strikes with anger and you can see the little cracks behind his feet (and around Asajj's hand) and which every strike, all of his masters are feeling it, showing that, while she is who falls litterally, is Anakin the one falling, symbolically, to the Dark Side.
Nicolás Riveros yes! I love the fore-shadowing to Anakin falling to the dark side; like how the moon turns red, and then he takes Asajj’s red lightsaber. Absolutely perfect! :)
100% agree
That and I had the most vivid impression of her being lead up to an alter to be sacrificed. Given that Yavin was actually the grave of a sith, very fitting.
It's because he knows how to tell a story through an Action sequence. Stuff this good isn't easy to come by.
I can imagine Genndy doing an animated trilogy of Star Wars films.
5:20 It's over Anakin. i have the high gro... Oh shit!!!
i thought i was the only one that thought dat
brenoldt this only confirms that Only Obi Wan can use The Power of The High Ground
Obi-wan: I have the plot armor anakin!
This one of my favoeite depictions of Anakin, he gave into his emotions and just went into full rage mode there at the end.
Red moon, red lightsaber slowly comes to Anakin!! Then rage takes over! Last the scream of being conflicted!! 👏👏classic!!!
Wow a 10 second cartoon with barely any budget had better emotion, suspense, action, and tension that the whole last jedi movie
have you seen how smooth the fighting animations were? this show clearly had a decent budget, not to mention they got Genndy Tertakovsky to direct it
"Boo hoo the movie sucks" Grow up!
@@enriquealvarado9938
J Logan lol yup😂
@@enriquealvarado9938 The movie was shit, Boo Hoo your manners and education.
Goddamn. Anakin grabbing Asajj by the wrists having red light mask his face is one of the coolest images in all of Star Wars...
Don't forget the robot hand foreshadowing his rise as Darth Vader. It also may have given him the strength to beat her, which may be a metaphor for his lust for power regardless of the cost.
+Jared Gunkle dont be ridiculous
Cybernetic arms and legs is a great buff in terms of Physical Strenght but big Nerf in Force Abilities (since Force flows through living things and prostetics aren't alive so it's harder to use Force)
Hello Master Skywalker !
This was legit dope AF
The animation in this scene is amazing . So much detailing . Wow
7:15 do you know how cold of a 🥷 you gotta be to do that? Still gives me chills to this day
Even as a Padawan, Anakin was DANGEROUS. You can see that, here!
Patrick Slattery He’s op
He was toward the end if his training.
He was losing against Ventress for most of the fight until it started raining, thats when he was tapping into the darkside, by the time he picked up the red blade he was going all out just on the brink of being consumed by it which is why you can see images of Qui-gon, Obi-wan and Yoda.
@@xrstevenson No he wasn't he outright disarmed her
@@397llederson6 disarming your opponent doesn't make you the victor. If that was the case, Vizsla beat Maul in their duel when the former shot the latter's hand. If anything, being disarmed can make someone more dangerous. Last I checked, Anakin was getting his ass kicked for the majority of the fight until *IT STARTED RAINING*
I just love how there’s actual choreography in these fights and not just cliche cartoon action.
@Jimb0 And the 2008 CW
Yes. I also am not a fan of 08 clonewars lightsabers. They look too thin and pointy. Lol
@Tom Ffrench yeah I did not care for their animation at all. Too much like play-dough. Granted at least the story in Rebels at least overarches into a coherant story. But still
You might need to get your eyes checked.
exactly. Unlike the cartoony back-and-forth cuts in 2008 Clone Wars and Rebels
