That moment when you realized that the clones killed in combat were the lucky ones. They died doing their duty as heroes, rather than becoming mindless assassins.
That is kinda true. Many Clones said experience "Nightmare" of killing Jedi, you can hear when Tup and Fives death they say "The Nightmare, its finaly over"
Although I'm not sure if dying in the Clone Wars was really worth it because the Clone Wars was really just so the leader of both sides can gain absolute power with both the Republic and the CIS as mere pawns in Palpatine's game
And so ends the tale of Domino Squad. From a group that couldn’t pass basic training to the elite soldier uncovering the biggest conspiracy and paying the ultimate price trying to stop it Edit: I know Echo was eventually shown to be alive, but at the time of this comment, that was just the plot to an unreleased episode. I will still admit this comment didn’t age well
Let's just take a moment to appreciate that Fives is literally the only character to figure it out by himself. The only other person that came close was Maul, and neither could stop it.
Well dooku told obi wan? In attack of clones, but discount that. There was a investigator that almost uncovered it but he went to the leader of the republic, Palpatine. So you know what happened. There is plenty in the real lore,cannon, and comics. That came close......
@@quinnbaygo2112 Fives was the only one that was certain of all of it, though. He knew that Sidious was Palpatine, that he orchestrated the war and made the clones to kill the Jedi. He wasn't just close, he was just shot before people believed him
Fives has one of the most tragic stories in Star Wars. He loses practically his whole squad on an outpost, witnesses countless numbers of his brothers die, encounters a Jedi who despises clones entirely and has no regard for their lives, almost gets executed by his brothers under said Jedi, discovers a plot to destroy the entire Jedi Order and that the Chancellor is evil, and died shortly after he finally had the chance to fully tell anyone what he knew.
Imagine after Anakin just turned to the dark side he asked the Palpatine how they would destroy the Jedi and Palpatine told Anakin about the chips in the clones heads. And then Anakin would’ve been like “Wow fives was right”
@@neoterumi4772 that's not in any way part of it. My point is that Anikan isn't stupid (I mean, not in this sense), he was there when Palpatine executed order 66, at that point he should have remembered everything fives said and realized the entire plot. The only thing to assume is that he knew the plot existed, and regardless was like "this is fine" and killed children anyways, despite knowing that Padme wouldn't be okay with all of it... He is kind of a terrible character.
@@promesdiallo2002 issue is he knows her well, and he would know that she would NEVER condone that in any respect even to save her life, she'd hate him forever
Boyz Noize Beatz wait since when did maul know? He was dropped as apprentice in phantom menace, before the clones, unless there’s some comic I don’t know about...
@OXO SAN Fives knew too much and had the potential to ruin Palpatine’s grand plan, and because of that, Palpatine knew that he had to have Fives killed as soon as possible. That to me is enough to conclude that Fox was ordered to kill Fives, and we know that the Coruscant Guard is extremely loyal to the Senate, so regardless if Palpatine told Fox why he wanted Fives to be killed (which he probably didn’t), it wouldn’t matter either way.
Supposedly, the nightmares were of them going through with order 66 a.k.a them living a nightmare where they are killing their friends and generals. It's really sad when u think about every single clone has this nightmare.
Can we just for a moment appreciate how incredible Dee Bradley Baker is? He truly is one of the greatest voice actors ever. In one scene he manages to voice three different characters at once (Fox, Fives, Rex) and show the distinct emotions and depth to each one, while having nothing but a few lines from Matt Lanter to go off of. Simply insane.
Yeah! Dee Bradley Baker did an excellent job at making Fives' dying moment one of the most heartbreaking moments in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series.
@@jcoolguy1548 I had someone say that Bad Batch is just Brad Baker standing in a room talking to himself for 23 minutes, and I haven't been able to see that show the same way since. Haha
Fives' death really highlights how arrogant and complacent the Jedi had become. Had they tried to at least investigate they could have found something. But they believed they were infallible.
Anakin probably write Fives off to be insane. Not to mention he was biased as hell toward Sidious so of course he refused to see his father figure in such a dark light.
“YOU DONT BELIEVE ME!” Is so painful to hear It’s the buildup of everyone he tries to convince dismissing him, and even in death, they won’t believe him
I think what gets me most is Fives saying "The mission... The nightmares...", implying that the clones actually had dreams of Order 66 before it was given, just lingering in their subconscious haunting them. Either that or he meant the war in general which says something that even men created, bred and trained only for war find themselves horrified and broken by it.
when he's talking about "the mission" it's most likely order 66 or whatever is being implanted by the chip into their brains. but i believe that since both tup and fives had their chips removed that it was just the overwhelming emotions and stresses of war finally taking its toll on a man. without the chip the clones can't emotionally cope. so in removing them i believe it all just flooded in.
This is exactly why Dooku said to Anakin “Twice the Pride, Double the Fall” in Episode 3. It wasn’t just present tense, it was also future tense giving a prelude as to how blind the Jedi were.
if it could only have been 2 lives that he saved... I think he would be happy that his warnings, if nothing else, allowed those two to live. He'd be as heartbroken as Rex to know just how many died, and what became of his General, but he'd be happy that Ahsoka and Rex survived.
I love how the Shock troopers take off their helmets in respect, but Fox stands there coldly. They realize the horrible thing that has happened, and when the adrenaline stopped pumping they probably felt regret at the death of their brother.
Its really touching to see that even Coruscant Guard Shock Troopers were sympathetic to this.. they were often portrayed as different from the rest of the clones but at this scene, they were no different..
What gets me is that it would have been so easy for the writers to just have Rex tell Ahsoka to find Five's file or something. Instead, the lines and voice acting make it sound like Rex is calling out to Fives for help
@@Qwerty-of4cy Same, I’m not the person to cry at a scene but I grew up watching clone wars and fives and echo were always my favorites, when echo “died” I shed a tear but when fives died I had many tears going down my face as he was always did what’s right and only wanted the best for his brothers
This is the most heart aching scene of the whole show. FIVES is the reason Rex and Ashoka are alive. But it's so sad to watch Rex have his closest brother/friend die in his arms. Shaking him to wake up, refusing to let him go. The true brotherly bond and love these two brothers had; was like no other.
he prob planned to make fives go over the edge, seem like a rogue clone who went insane and use that as an excuse to eliminate him because he would probably figured it out anyway in time
@@Kazuhira2249real life strategy's to discredit people exposing hidden conspiracies, tactically release partially true and conflicting information to several unreliable sources, and suddenly everyone will be extremely sceptical of the existence of a very real scheme thats going on
But the saddest truth that every clone was doing there duty more like a slave with no freedom or no family they were clones they were a tool to the government
Obi would’ve said “we’ll have to run that by the council first” Then the council would say “no way, if Palpatine had done that, we would know” Then Obi would go back and say “yeah guys, sorry, the council says no.” For as much as people hate on Anakin, he’s the guy I would want in this situation. Obi was a council loyalist and a conservative minded Jedi first and foremost. He’s not the kind of guy who would take a risk on a rogue trooper like Fives. If anyone would have done so, it was Anakin. It’s just a tragedy the way it unfolded.
To be absolutely fair, he warned fives like 3 times to get down. Once he said on your knees, and he repeated it. Fives went for a heavy blaster, and both rex and fox warned him again not to take it. Fox gave fives 3 chances to stop resisting, and when fives aimed his blaster at fox directly, fox shot, knowing there was a high chance he wouldve been shot if he had not acted. From fox's perspective, Fives had literally just tried to kill the chancellor or smth, as far as he was concerned, fives was a dangerous person. Regardless, if he was on orders, he wouldve shot. Clearly his intention was capture, as he explicitly states for fives to GET DOWN. None of the other guard fire either. Yes, fox denied the jedi from finding about order 66, but it was a logical stand. The real villan here is nala se tho
@Rizq Athaya 1 Fives helped the entire rebellion. Rex later helped the Rebellion in multiple ways from giving them Imperial codes to fighting on Endor. He saved Ashoka from being killed who then saved Ezra and Kanan. Fives doing this rippled through the entire galaxy.
@@the_mad_bear3683 and yet he was clouded with desperation to save Padme from dying based on the visions he saw.. And Palpatine exploited tht very well... If Anakin mind was at ease he would have strike down Palps with Windu
I don’t think he would say “that one clone”. I think he would’ve thought about it so much trying to figure it out that he would have to remember fives. Even if fives hadn’t known the truth and been killed like that.
Anakin's facial animation at the end when 5's was dying was so freakin perfect. It is already a tearjerker of a scene but something about seeing Anakin's face and then seeing him, even if it just for a second, trying to comfort Rex by putting his hand on Rex's shoulder just so damn good.
@@person906 By that point he was already too far gone, he probably was glad that Fives hadn’t been listened to because he believed the Jedi had to die.
Fives didn't die in vain. He learned the truth. It cost him his life. He couldn't save the Jedi, or his brothers, from their fate. But he saved Ahsoka. And he saved Rex. And that means everything.
I know that Fox certainly isn’t everyone’s favorite clone, but we need to keep in mind that he probably was sent by Palpatine to silence Fives. Yeah, Fox could‘ve easily stunned Fives and taking him into custody but that’s certainly not what Palpatine wanted. And since they‘re meant to be loyal to the Chancellor, of course he‘d follow his Orders. Now, that doesn’t mean that Fox will be the next best clone ever, but it should be considered before anyone blindly hates him. Good Soldiers follow Orders.
Yeah good soldiers might follow orders, but good men don't mindlessly do whatever they're told. Sometimes the orders that come from higher up aren't right and that's why leaders have to be kept in line. It's just that everyone from time to time has to do the right thing instead of following orders, because orders are sometimes wrong.
But even if he stunned him, he would have been send to prison and Palpatine would have found away to kill him there. Then it would probably have looked like suicide so no one would be blamed. Unfortunately Fives was a dead man since he talked to the chancellor anyways.
@@luishermanns4461 yes exactly. The fact that he found out the truth of the inhibitor chips and the conspiracy against the jedi he was doomed to die. His fate was sealed and there was no point of return for him. However I feel like it would be overall fun to have a "What if..." Star wars series where they explore stories and how they could've gone differently. Like it would be cool to see Fives expose the Senate for who he is and have his evil plan defused. Or overall if the prequels had a good ending 😂
@@proxicat123 the unfortunate truth is that there's not a lot of good men in the world. The plea of superior orders became known as the "Nuremberg Defense" because of how many people used it as a justification for war crimes. People can do really shitty things just because they were ordered to.
@@downrangecash2418 and you're absolutely right about that. Nazi Germany was a strong dictatorship and many didn't even dare to oppose it (in the inside I mean), because that would have usually led to a person being subject to execution. Many of the Nazis during that time period were heavily bombarded with propaganda and therefore a bit brainwashed. Many of them probably had their morality completely shattered and that specifically speaks true about the officers. And so, many of these men weren't the good men they might have been before. In my opinion, every leader is responsible about their own orders and every person in general is responsible for their own actions, because we're free willed beings. Fourtunately we live in different world now. For example in the Finnish Defence Forces they highly recommend to report questionable orders and actions. There is zero tolerance when it comes to inappropiate behaviour. Everyone is definetly encouraged to speak up and that's definetly due to that we live in a democracy and not a dictatorship. This probably holds true in many other countries albeit not in all. I could probably say that the west has adopted more of this kind of thinking than the east.
This hits so much harder when you realize what Fives’ duty was. There are two moments that tells you this. 1- In the Umbara arc, Rex said to Krell that his duty is to protect his men. Fives and Rex share this value. 2 -In the Conspiracy arc, Fives talks to AZI about having a duty and brothers. His love towards his brothers is his duty to uphold. Fives in other words was saying to Rex, “I only wanted to protect my brothers”. 3:56
@@themeddite2935 Same, recently I was rewatching the Clone Wars and around season 2 Boba kills this Clone and the Clone says What are you doing, We're brothers
The republic died when the clone wars started, they had lost everything that made them the good guys, they even took soldiers that were made by the other side
Diamond Johnson and there’s also a difference between being open minded and scoffing someone as a conspiracy theorist, which is exactly what they would’ve called fives if the term existed in that show
In the scene it doesn’t show fox taking it off presuming he was not caring of his brothers who betray in a way as in ahsoka too, he didnt care one bit besides getting her in a cell eventually leading her to leave the old republic and live in coruscant. Thats devistating.
The music tells its own story in this scene. The intense, sad music as Fives is dying comes to a glorifying, grand, freeing Crescendo when he dies… like his spirit is being freed from the entrapment of the chip and his duty as a soldier. Such a great soundtrack man.
No, he wouldn't have. I know this is a two-year-old comment, but pre-A New Hope Obi-Wan was just as flawed as the other Jedi. When Anakin defends Ahsoka's decision to leave the Jedi order, Obi-Wan criticizes her decision, saying that her emotions got the better of her and that she made the wrong choice. Even after nobody INCLUDING Obi-Wan believed that she was being framed.
Well Anakin was already Palpatine's Marionette so he was the last one to believe this. Im sure that there are Jedi who would've believed like Windu or Yoda
The only jedi who would’ve believed him would probably be yoda, windu, and Ki-adì-Mundi Mu di was so strong in the force that he was actually one of the last jedi to die during the initial order 66, because his troops knew that he had the power to read other peoples minds. Which is why mundi turned around once he felt the minds of his troopers turn against him. Palpatine actually got mad at the clones for taking so long to execute him
Just want to quickly appreciate how good Dee Bradley Baker voices for Rex here. The pain Rex is feeling is felt by the audience thanks to his amazing voice acting.
What I love about this scene is that the shock troopers were one of the most despised clones in the star wars universe from republic citizens, even by some clones, that regardless when one of there own dies, they have the respect to take off their helmets. Showing clones really care for their brothers, no matter what position or rank they're in.
At some point, I just have to admire Rex. Ofc, he's a clone and all that, but if I think about everything he went trough, every battle, every victory and defeat, every clone and brother he lost. Especially the one's near to him. Heavy, Fives, Echo, Waxer, Jesse, the one's that he rarely knew like Vaugnh, Wolf, Gregor, Tup, Hardcase, Fox, Green and all the other "nameless" clones that he saw dying, especially after Order 66, when all his Brothers, except for the Bad Batch and the old Deserters, turned against him. I just admire him to keep going, to keep fighting. After everything he went trough... that he just can continue. Those who survive a war, from beginning to the end, and can keep fighting... It just breaks my heart, that Rex has to suffer such a fate... To think about it, it's very natural that he has suffered PTSD in Rebels.... but, that he continues to fight even with his PTSD... is just.. wow.. and sad at the same moment, because I never actually see, how it all pays off for him... It's just, that his life is full of loses... Of course there are the friendships and victories and all that... but I can't quite see, how this can come near the experiences he made.. he went trough. I just admire him.. to keep fighting after everything he went trough. Respect Rex. I hope, you will find your peace somewhen.
4:01 I think that Fives saying “I only wanted to do my duty” was him telling Rex that all he wanted to do in life was to serve and fight for the Republic with the best of his abilities. He never meant to get wrapped up in something as big as a conspiracy to kill the Jedi.
5’s death isn’t a normal clone death. It was even more sad because he would have prevented Order 66, the death of nearly all the Jedi, the creation of Emperor Palpatine, the creation of Darth Vader, the Death Star, the second Death Star, the Empire, Kylo Ren, Starkiller base, the First Order, and the death of trillions from Starkiller base
I remember watching this scene when I was younger over and over again because I couldn’t grasp the beauty of it...the music, the emotions, the other clones taking of their heads, Fives‘ guilt of knowing stuff no one would believe in, this is a cinematic masterpiece and still after all these years I‘m as intrigued as I was for the first time, rest in peace soldier
This really just goes to show you how much a respected soldier fives was, after he’s shot and killed even the coruscant guard who were basically the roughest police force there was removed their helmets in respect. Fives was a great soldier and a dear friend to Rex. May he Rest In Peace
@@Capt.Gooper he basically came from nothing with the domino squad (which most soldiers probably considered a garbage group) to becoming an arc trooper. I’d say his story is worthy to be spread amongst the republic
@@martinfernandez5127 yay but when the empire took over probably you erase fives legendary ARC Trooper to a crazy man which i hope naver really happened but hey the empire ia evil
Him and Kix aswell. Kix found out as well but when he did he was captured by the separatists, taken to a ship and frozen. He was going to be taken to Count Dooku, but the ship's hyperdrive was damaged in a fight with republic ships, causing it to randomly jump and crash-land on a remote planet. I think it was about 30 years after the battle of endor, around the time of the force awakens, a bounty hunter, the crimson corsair (he briefly appears in TFA), found the ship and discovered kix inside, unfreezing him. As the last clone trooper alive, kix went on to join the corsair and his bounty hunter crew. He could have very likely played a part in the final battle of Exegol. Although Im glad he survived, he's story was wasted and I think it would have been much better for him to have been found sometime during the Original Trilogy, meeting back up with Rex and joining the rebellion.
@@matthewpaddon3895 yea I mean I guess hes the only clone to actually see the rise of the force is female shit show Hope in a better star wars film he makes an appearance since he could probably be in his older years
God it’s so annoying how fives was drugged while he was strapped to a chair. Like anakin literally said let’s take u to the temple. So many things went wrong for this to happen how it sid
More like his actions guaranteed the survival of enough Jedi to inspire hope in the galaxy, IE Ezra, Kanan, and yes, Ahsoka, and eventually gave way to the Rebel Alliance, which gave way to Luke taking up the legacy of the Jedi Hail Fives, a good soldier and the truest of them all
I remember fives being my favorite character when the show came out, and he rlly wasn’t a big time character at that point. I think I just liked him bc my baseball number was the number five and that was his name. I was also like 6 or 7 at the time so Star Wars and especially the clones were my idols. as the show progressed, I loved him more and more and I was sad to see echo and ahsoka go. And then we were left on a cliff hangar when the show was canceled in 2013 bc ahsoka had left and it just ended ya know. By the time season 6 released I’d kind of had moved on from Star Wars and my family couldn’t afford netflix so I was unable to watch it until around 2017. When my family finally got netfilx, I sat down at around 3am and grinded the season six. There I was, around 3am, and I knew what was about to happen, but the moment fives died I felt like a part of my childhood was dying along with him. He was my favorite character and seeing him die, even though I was around 15 at the time, made me cry a lot, more than I care to admit. Still, clone wars will forever be my favorite animated show and I still luv it to this day. I still get close to tears every time I see this scene. I miss the days of when my parents got me the newest season on dvd every year on my birthday and I’d inv my friends over and we’d watch the whole thing. To lucasfilm and Dave filoni, thank u for making this show into the brilliant masterpiece that it is. I will never forget the memories it brought me. Thank u.
4:21 - 4:39 Oh man, you can really hear and feel Rex's desperation as he begs Fives to not die. It made me break down even harder. Dee Bradley Baker's acting is astounding.
Can I just say that it’s fantastic how he is able to flawlessly pull off both the dying man and the man begging him not to die? Even for a series that basically just consists of the main voice actor talking to himself for 22 minutes, that takes some fucking range.
you know, palpatine has done a lot of evil, horrible, nasty things. but the worst thing he ever did was tell fives the truth. now, everyone thinks he’s lost his mind but he just wants to save everyone. truly torturous
@@coldramen1449 Find him in the databases. What Ahsoka did. Doing that made her aware of the chips and what was happening because it was all under Fives' files.
Bradley Mcphee At previous seasons, Fives's brain chip got unfunctional and with that he knew about order 66 cuz it was written in chip; he tried to warn Anakin and Rex, they didnt listen to him and Fives got killed by clones, Rex remembered just that and told to ahsoka.
Fives and Tup both saying (one way or another) "The Mission is finally over" while they die is heartbreaking, because it shows even more how little of a choice they had in the war they were created for. All of Fives story was about him trying to teach people that they aren't "just" clones. They are more, they have names, they aren't a number. And then when he dies he says "The mission, the nightmares are over" because he's freed from the war and the nightmares it gave him, even though he always did his duty
Well, I guess that shows why force healing in Rise of Skywalker was dumb. Or was force healing the skill Anakin wanted to learn from Palpatine to save Padmé?
Sean Wheeler Well I look at it as Luke training Kylo how to heal and Leia training Rey into learning it. But since J.J left out any plot details throughout the movie it a seems bullshit.
@@SeanWheeler100 Were talking about how the jedi could have force healed all the dead jedi and dead clones Baby Yoda and Rey Appreciate are the only ones in canon who can force heal, even if disney made it up how can't Obi Wan just force heal Qui Gon Jin in TPA,How Can't Anakin Force Heal Fives? *how the fuck can't maul force heal savage?*
actually i think he was more then happy to kill fox due to what happen with ahsoka. fox pissed Anakin off big time by not letting him see her. he was one step away from cutting him down then
I feel sad for Fox. I know he did a bad thing, but it doesn’t mean he’s horrible in general. Anakin made a bad thing by turning to the dark side. Why do you all love him then? He also did something bad. I’m not saying hate on anakin, but yeah.
That drugging at the start really fucked this all up for poor Fives. If he'd been in a clear state of mind, he might have come off less like a raving mad-man.
He managed to at least save two of his closest allies. Didn't manage to stop order 66 from happening and avoid the deaths of many clones in the hands of Jedi and Jedi in the hands of the clones, which makes this infinitely more frustrating that no one believed him at that point.
nah it was for nothing. he saved like 4 people. and also i love ahsoka and all but if fives hadnt told rex and rex hadnt filed that report ahsoka wouldnt have been able to save rex and because of that wouldve died on the venator. i love ahsoka but if ahsoka died then star wars rebels wouldve only lasted 1 and 1/2 seasons because kanan and ezra wouldve died because ahsoka saved them several times in season 2. darn it.
@@RM-jq5vi You said it was ll for nothing, but then talk about how the lives of those saved mattered. Yes, he didn't get the ultimate vindication of preventing the Order from happening, but the fact that some lives did end up saved and those lives would help with the seeds that would grow and unseat the Empire shows that in the end, Fives actions did matter. If Ahsoka died and Rex stayed a brainwashed trooper, it truly would have been a meaningless death.
@@strangeman5698 A master manipulator is worse than a mass murderer, he could be toppled Palpatine on the other hand tricked the galaxy, the reason Mace said "He's too dangerous to be left alive"
Even after all these years this scene still makes you feel sad. This man would've saved countless lives, if not for the ignorance of the Jedi. Fives deserved better.
Fives, this one clone trooper probably proved to be the single greatest threat to Palpatine's grand plan during the entire clone war, which was about having the clones turn against their commanders. IRONIC.
Rex saying fives name trying to keep him up is the scariest thing to me because it’s always in the movies eventually they start to yell their name but he he’s just quietly saying it the littlest bit of hope in him just trying to reach out to fives but he truly knows there’s no saving him
One detail i love is in 02:15 Anakin instanrly trys to talk fives down again, while rex thinks about it. He wants to beleive fives, he wants to beleive his brother.
This show wasn't afraid to get gritty, and thats why it's one of my all time favorite TV shows. There's so much more development, attachment, and emotion to the characters in this series.
It’s so weird watching how Rex and Anakin became opposite numbers, at the beginning of the series Rex was all about being only a soldier and gruff but as their series progressed and he learned and witnessed more of life he became more emotional and fleshed out. Anakin started out emotional but as the series progressed I could witness him growing colder and more machine like. Like when crosshair insulted echo and Rex punched him, so weird seeing Anakin being the logical calm one and Rex being emotional.
And so dies (for now) the last member of the Domino squad, one of the best men the Republic could ever ask for. It hurts, even more, knowing that Fives was the last chance Jedi could see what was coming. If I were ever a Jedi, there is no one else I would be proud to lead more than these: Waxer, Boil, Heavy, Echo, Fives, Rex, Wolffe, Kix and so much more. They were the main heroes of this series, never to be forgotten. May the Force be with you, brothers.
Watching this for the first time was so tragic. You already know what’s going to happen, that he’s not gonna reveal the information the Jedi so desperately need in order to save them, but you still hope he can. RIP Fives, also amazing that they referenced him in the last season of Clone Wars.
After years of thinking he died for nothing, we get our season 7 finale... He's death will always be the most tragic but i'm glad to know he didn't die in vain. Ahsoka and Rex survived order 66 because of him.... Thank you Dave Filoni for this story Arc
How devastated I was when I first watched this. Listen carefully to his voice, the desperation, the fear, the hopelessness... I could almost taste the emotions. It's a fucking raw scene. I keep coming to this.
I feel bad for both Fives and Rex. Fives had every capability to prevent the biggest betrayal the Jedi ever faced. And Rex, that nearly broke him. After how many clones he'd seen cut down, how many brothers and friends he'd lost, to see him moments away from tears when Fives died right there... Seriously love this series, the emotion, directing, all of it.
Gotta give props to everyone who worked on clone wars, this show really touches your soul at times, only they could've made identical clones be much more than that. Fives was my favorite ever since the Rookies episode, everytime he made it into an episode that was pure hype to me. Seeing my favorite clone go out like that was definitely the saddest moment in the show for me, I'm just glad that eventually the intel that Fives shared with Rex (finale spoilers ahead) ended up saving Ashoka. At least we still have the notorious Captain Rex and the sole survivor of Domino Squad: Echo, now partnered with the Bad Batch. Really can't wait for Bad Batch season 2!

MagicJay123 I know right
The guy’s an Asshole
@@magicjay1236 Yeah but he was also probably under orders, and Fives _did_ point a blaster at him. Even after Fox told him to stand down.
Fives has one of the most tragic stories in Star Wars. He loses practically his whole squad on an outpost, witnesses countless numbers of his brothers die, encounters a Jedi who despises clones entirely and has no regard for their lives, almost gets executed by his brothers under said Jedi, discovers a plot to destroy the entire Jedi Order and that the Chancellor is evil, and died shortly after he finally had the chance to fully tell anyone what he knew.
And don't forget, that if he had done the chip thing a few months or so later he would've gotten to see Echo again.
yeah he was a season away from realizing that his death wouldn't have meant the end of Domino Squad
And don’t forget his best friend died
He was killed, so that the jedi would fall.
And don’t forget he witnessed 99’s death on Kamino.
Imagine after Anakin just turned to the dark side he asked the Palpatine how they would destroy the Jedi and Palpatine told Anakin about the chips in the clones heads. And then Anakin would’ve been like “Wow fives was right”
And yet still joined him, the fucking idiot..
@@ZenKrio Anakin got payback by killing fox as Vader
@@neoterumi4772 that's not in any way part of it. My point is that Anikan isn't stupid (I mean, not in this sense), he was there when Palpatine executed order 66, at that point he should have remembered everything fives said and realized the entire plot. The only thing to assume is that he knew the plot existed, and regardless was like "this is fine" and killed children anyways, despite knowing that Padme wouldn't be okay with all of it... He is kind of a terrible character.

@@promesdiallo2002 issue is he knows her well, and he would know that she would NEVER condone that in any respect even to save her life, she'd hate him forever

Everybody treated them as they were crazy, mentally ill. But, they discovered it to late in Palpatine’s game
Maul didn’t know, he says he didn’t. Dooku did though.
Boyz Noize Beatz wait since when did maul know? He was dropped as apprentice in phantom menace, before the clones, unless there’s some comic I don’t know about...
Skywalking Studioz have you watched season 7 of clone wars? the last four episodes collectively beat the entire sequel trilogy
The fact that fox had his blaster on kill still makes me convinced that fox had shoot to kill orders from palpatine
Good point because I wonder now why he didn't just stun him
@@galacticgambit2072 I feel like apart of him desperately didn’t wanna go thru with it hence the pleading to fives not to reach for/arm himself 😫
@OXO SAN Fives knew too much and had the potential to ruin Palpatine’s grand plan, and because of that, Palpatine knew that he had to have Fives killed as soon as possible. That to me is enough to conclude that Fox was ordered to kill Fives, and we know that the Coruscant Guard is extremely loyal to the Senate, so regardless if Palpatine told Fox why he wanted Fives to be killed (which he probably didn’t), it wouldn’t matter either way.
You might have just justified the most hated clone trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic. Thank you for your service!
If he didn't had a order from palpatine then he did shoot him at least in the leg so that he don't die
its sad that fives last words weren't of sadness or regret, but of relief that the nightmare he's been living through is over
The clones had it so rough :(
he’s finally free
Supposedly, the nightmares were of them going through with order 66 a.k.a them living a nightmare where they are killing their friends and generals. It's really sad when u think about every single clone has this nightmare.
😢
He went to clone heaven
Can we just for a moment appreciate how incredible Dee Bradley Baker is? He truly is one of the greatest voice actors ever. In one scene he manages to voice three different characters at once (Fox, Fives, Rex) and show the distinct emotions and depth to each one, while having nothing but a few lines from Matt Lanter to go off of. Simply insane.
Yeah! Dee Bradley Baker did an excellent job at making Fives' dying moment one of the most heartbreaking moments in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series.
Not to mention the diversity in the Bad Batch characters' voices.
@@jcoolguy1548 I had someone say that Bad Batch is just Brad Baker standing in a room talking to himself for 23 minutes, and I haven't been able to see that show the same way since. Haha
Fives' death really highlights how arrogant and complacent the Jedi had become. Had they tried to at least investigate they could have found something. But they believed they were infallible.
Anakin was not he didn’t believe that his father figure is evil
@cruizeh yeah it needs to be explained
big words
Anakin probably write Fives off to be insane. Not to mention he was biased as hell toward Sidious so of course he refused to see his father figure in such a dark light.
The jedi order kind of deserved to be destroyed. They were getting way to arrogant,ignorant and political.
“YOU DONT BELIEVE ME!” Is so painful to hear
It’s the buildup of everyone he tries to convince dismissing him, and even in death, they won’t believe him
Ikrrr!, it’s very sad!
Very sad
Rex believed him.
Well the good thing is that Anakin killed the emperor though.
Rex did !! Rex acted on this information somewhat and because of this he’s not a slave to the empire
I think what gets me most is Fives saying "The mission... The nightmares...", implying that the clones actually had dreams of Order 66 before it was given, just lingering in their subconscious haunting them. Either that or he meant the war in general which says something that even men created, bred and trained only for war find themselves horrified and broken by it.
when he's talking about "the mission" it's most likely order 66 or whatever is being implanted by the chip into their brains. but i believe that since both tup and fives had their chips removed that it was just the overwhelming emotions and stresses of war finally taking its toll on a man. without the chip the clones can't emotionally cope. so in removing them i believe it all just flooded in.
Both order 66 and war for sure
Imagine hearing your Brothers Dyeing everyday.. and living to hear it.. Over and over again.. Its going to break anyone..
If you notice, when Tup dies the Clone troopers around him start looking at each other when he starts talking about the nightmares, they all have them
Good interpretation.
This is exactly why Dooku said to Anakin “Twice the Pride, Double the Fall” in Episode 3. It wasn’t just present tense, it was also future tense giving a prelude as to how blind the Jedi were.
yup and are also blind by their pride, arrogance and ego.
this is the show that makes you build a personal bond with the clones
inside this craft of mine So true
You know the shows good cause the clones have backstory to a degree.
I feel for both the Clones and the Droids.
Can’t believe they introduced him since the 5th episode of the first season.
Fuck me I cried :(
Fives death is even more meaningful and sad after what happened in Shattered.

I love how the Shock troopers take off their helmets in respect, but Fox stands there coldly. They realize the horrible thing that has happened, and when the adrenaline stopped pumping they probably felt regret at the death of their brother.
When they realized who they killed wasn’t a criminal but a brother.
And Fox would get what he deserve by Anakin/Vader...
Its really touching to see that even Coruscant Guard Shock Troopers were sympathetic to this.. they were often portrayed as different from the rest of the clones but at this scene, they were no different..
"Stay Back!....Find him....Fives....Find him! FIVES!!!"

What gets me is that it would have been so easy for the writers to just have Rex tell Ahsoka to find Five's file or something. Instead, the lines and voice acting make it sound like Rex is calling out to Fives for help

This is the most heart aching scene of the whole show. FIVES is the reason Rex and Ashoka are alive. But it's so sad to watch Rex have his closest brother/friend die in his arms. Shaking him to wake up, refusing to let him go. The true brotherly bond and love these two brothers had; was like no other.

@@chutipoljalaruk7570 Nope he was left out.
He deserved to get his neck snapped by Vader
To be absolutely fair, he warned fives like 3 times to get down. Once he said on your knees, and he repeated it. Fives went for a heavy blaster, and both rex and fox warned him again not to take it. Fox gave fives 3 chances to stop resisting, and when fives aimed his blaster at fox directly, fox shot, knowing there was a high chance he wouldve been shot if he had not acted. From fox's perspective, Fives had literally just tried to kill the chancellor or smth, as far as he was concerned, fives was a dangerous person. Regardless, if he was on orders, he wouldve shot. Clearly his intention was capture, as he explicitly states for fives to GET DOWN. None of the other guard fire either. Yes, fox denied the jedi from finding about order 66, but it was a logical stand. The real villan here is nala se tho

@@RyanTheDark Cody’s thought during Order 66: "Was it all too much for the order to have come through before I gave him back the bloody lightsaber??"
I know that Fox certainly isn’t everyone’s favorite clone, but we need to keep in mind that he probably was sent by Palpatine to silence Fives. Yeah, Fox could‘ve easily stunned Fives and taking him into custody but that’s certainly not what Palpatine wanted. And since they‘re meant to be loyal to the Chancellor, of course he‘d follow his Orders. Now, that doesn’t mean that Fox will be the next best clone ever, but it should be considered before anyone blindly hates him. Good Soldiers follow Orders.
Yeah good soldiers might follow orders, but good men don't mindlessly do whatever they're told. Sometimes the orders that come from higher up aren't right and that's why leaders have to be kept in line. It's just that everyone from time to time has to do the right thing instead of following orders, because orders are sometimes wrong.
But even if he stunned him, he would have been send to prison and Palpatine would have found away to kill him there. Then it would probably have looked like suicide so no one would be blamed. Unfortunately Fives was a dead man since he talked to the chancellor anyways.
@@luishermanns4461 yes exactly. The fact that he found out the truth of the inhibitor chips and the conspiracy against the jedi he was doomed to die. His fate was sealed and there was no point of return for him.
However I feel like it would be overall fun to have a "What if..." Star wars series where they explore stories and how they could've gone differently. Like it would be cool to see Fives expose the Senate for who he is and have his evil plan defused. Or overall if the prequels had a good ending 😂
@@proxicat123 the unfortunate truth is that there's not a lot of good men in the world. The plea of superior orders became known as the "Nuremberg Defense" because of how many people used it as a justification for war crimes. People can do really shitty things just because they were ordered to.
@@downrangecash2418 and you're absolutely right about that. Nazi Germany was a strong dictatorship and many didn't even dare to oppose it (in the inside I mean), because that would have usually led to a person being subject to execution. Many of the Nazis during that time period were heavily bombarded with propaganda and therefore a bit brainwashed. Many of them probably had their morality completely shattered and that specifically speaks true about the officers. And so, many of these men weren't the good men they might have been before. In my opinion, every leader is responsible about their own orders and every person in general is responsible for their own actions, because we're free willed beings.
Fourtunately we live in different world now. For example in the Finnish Defence Forces they highly recommend to report questionable orders and actions. There is zero tolerance when it comes to inappropiate behaviour. Everyone is definetly encouraged to speak up and that's definetly due to that we live in a democracy and not a dictatorship. This probably holds true in many other countries albeit not in all. I could probably say that the west has adopted more of this kind of thinking than the east.
This hits so much harder when you realize what Fives’ duty was. There are two moments that tells you this.
1- In the Umbara arc, Rex said to Krell that his duty is to protect his men. Fives and Rex share this value.
2 -In the Conspiracy arc, Fives talks to AZI about having a duty and brothers. His love towards his brothers is his duty to uphold.
Fives in other words was saying to Rex,
“I only wanted to protect my brothers”. 3:56

The music tells its own story in this scene. The intense, sad music as Fives is dying comes to a glorifying, grand, freeing Crescendo when he dies… like his spirit is being freed from the entrapment of the chip and his duty as a soldier. Such a great soundtrack man.

If Obi Wan was there instead of Anakin, he would've believed him
No, he wouldn't have. I know this is a two-year-old comment, but pre-A New Hope Obi-Wan was just as flawed as the other Jedi. When Anakin defends Ahsoka's decision to leave the Jedi order, Obi-Wan criticizes her decision, saying that her emotions got the better of her and that she made the wrong choice. Even after nobody INCLUDING Obi-Wan believed that she was being framed.
Well Anakin was already Palpatine's Marionette so he was the last one to believe this. Im sure that there are Jedi who would've believed like Windu or Yoda
The only jedi who would’ve believed him would probably be yoda, windu, and Ki-adì-Mundi
Mu di was so strong in the force that he was actually one of the last jedi to die during the initial order 66, because his troops knew that he had the power to read other peoples minds. Which is why mundi turned around once he felt the minds of his troopers turn against him.

Dee Bradley baker’s work in the clone wars was amazing.
@@axolotl593 agreed, he did all the voices for them, but added small things that gave them their own unique personalities and humanity.
What I love about this scene is that the shock troopers were one of the most despised clones in the star wars universe from republic citizens, even by some clones, that regardless when one of there own dies, they have the respect to take off their helmets. Showing clones really care for their brothers, no matter what position or rank they're in.
At some point, I just have to admire Rex. Ofc, he's a clone and all that, but if I think about everything he went trough, every battle, every victory and defeat, every clone and brother he lost. Especially the one's near to him. Heavy, Fives, Echo, Waxer, Jesse, the one's that he rarely knew like Vaugnh, Wolf, Gregor, Tup, Hardcase, Fox, Green and all the other "nameless" clones that he saw dying, especially after Order 66, when all his Brothers, except for the Bad Batch and the old Deserters, turned against him. I just admire him to keep going, to keep fighting. After everything he went trough... that he just can continue. Those who survive a war, from beginning to the end, and can keep fighting... It just breaks my heart, that Rex has to suffer such a fate... To think about it, it's very natural that he has suffered PTSD in Rebels.... but, that he continues to fight even with his PTSD... is just.. wow.. and sad at the same moment, because I never actually see, how it all pays off for him... It's just, that his life is full of loses... Of course there are the friendships and victories and all that... but I can't quite see, how this can come near the experiences he made.. he went trough. I just admire him.. to keep fighting after everything he went trough. Respect Rex. I hope, you will find your peace somewhen.
Go Rex
Find find him Fives!
4:01 I think that Fives saying “I only wanted to do my duty” was him telling Rex that all he wanted to do in life was to serve and fight for the Republic with the best of his abilities. He never meant to get wrapped up in something as big as a conspiracy to kill the Jedi.
Hanakin Sidewalker after the war done he wants all his brothers to retired to live in peace
Rex must’ve *felt that hit his soul.*
Yea I think doing your duty is pretty self explanatory lmao but okay boomer😭
Noah Haskin what duty
Nah man he's saying he needs to poop
The fact that Fives almost exposed the whole thing makes season 7 even more tragic and sad
5’s death isn’t a normal clone death. It was even more sad because he would have prevented Order 66, the death of nearly all the Jedi, the creation of Emperor Palpatine, the creation of Darth Vader, the Death Star, the second Death Star, the Empire, Kylo Ren, Starkiller base, the First Order, and the death of trillions from Starkiller base
Just preventing the sequel trilogy would have been fine. Not that I consider it canon anyway, because it's absurd, but still.
I remember watching this scene when I was younger over and over again because I couldn’t grasp the beauty of it...the music, the emotions, the other clones taking of their heads, Fives‘ guilt of knowing stuff no one would believe in, this is a cinematic masterpiece and still after all these years I‘m as intrigued as I was for the first time, rest in peace soldier

Fives is the brains of the entire star wars story
His the ONLY one that can actually see through the chancellor
Him and Kix aswell. Kix found out as well but when he did he was captured by the separatists, taken to a ship and frozen. He was going to be taken to Count Dooku, but the ship's hyperdrive was damaged in a fight with republic ships, causing it to randomly jump and crash-land on a remote planet. I think it was about 30 years after the battle of endor, around the time of the force awakens, a bounty hunter, the crimson corsair (he briefly appears in TFA), found the ship and discovered kix inside, unfreezing him. As the last clone trooper alive, kix went on to join the corsair and his bounty hunter crew. He could have very likely played a part in the final battle of Exegol. Although Im glad he survived, he's story was wasted and I think it would have been much better for him to have been found sometime during the Original Trilogy, meeting back up with Rex and joining the rebellion.

Ahsoka and Rex will live relatively long, not entirely unhappy lives because of him
Even the CIS gives him a salute
@@CygnusTheSilly
Also Kix, he lives up to the sequel trilogy through CIS freezing him and then pirates unfreeze him 50 years later
More like his actions guaranteed the survival of enough Jedi to inspire hope in the galaxy, IE Ezra, Kanan, and yes, Ahsoka, and eventually gave way to the Rebel Alliance, which gave way to Luke taking up the legacy of the Jedi
Hail Fives, a good soldier and the truest of them all
Palpatine discontinued the clones because he was salty that one managed to almost single-handedly ruin the plan he spent decades planning.
I remember fives being my favorite character when the show came out, and he rlly wasn’t a big time character at that point. I think I just liked him bc my baseball number was the number five and that was his name. I was also like 6 or 7 at the time so Star Wars and especially the clones were my idols. as the show progressed, I loved him more and more and I was sad to see echo and ahsoka go. And then we were left on a cliff hangar when the show was canceled in 2013 bc ahsoka had left and it just ended ya know. By the time season 6 released I’d kind of had moved on from Star Wars and my family couldn’t afford netflix so I was unable to watch it until around 2017. When my family finally got netfilx, I sat down at around 3am and grinded the season six. There I was, around 3am, and I knew what was about to happen, but the moment fives died I felt like a part of my childhood was dying along with him. He was my favorite character and seeing him die, even though I was around 15 at the time, made me cry a lot, more than I care to admit. Still, clone wars will forever be my favorite animated show and I still luv it to this day. I still get close to tears every time I see this scene. I miss the days of when my parents got me the newest season on dvd every year on my birthday and I’d inv my friends over and we’d watch the whole thing. To lucasfilm and Dave filoni, thank u for making this show into the brilliant masterpiece that it is. I will never forget the memories it brought me. Thank u.
4:21 - 4:39 Oh man, you can really hear and feel Rex's desperation as he begs Fives to not die. It made me break down even harder. Dee Bradley Baker's acting is astounding.
Can I just say that it’s fantastic how he is able to flawlessly pull off both the dying man and the man begging him not to die? Even for a series that basically just consists of the main voice actor talking to himself for 22 minutes, that takes some fucking range.

you know, palpatine has done a lot of evil, horrible, nasty things. but the worst thing he ever did was tell fives the truth. now, everyone thinks he’s lost his mind but he just wants to save everyone. truly torturous
"I only wanted to do my duty..." This hits harder when you realize that fives is at most 13 years old, and his duty was all he's ever known
Here because of “Shattered” Fives death meant something afterall..
TM Beats Facts
"Find him..find him..fives..FIND HIM, FIVES!" ---It's all coming together now.
What did he mean by that tho? Why was he saying "Find him"?
@@coldramen1449 Find him in the databases. What Ahsoka did. Doing that made her aware of the chips and what was happening because it was all under Fives' files.
@@Fertty14 ohhhhh, I see. Thx
Bradley Mcphee At previous seasons, Fives's brain chip got unfunctional and with that he knew about order 66 cuz it was written in chip; he tried to warn Anakin and Rex, they didnt listen to him and Fives got killed by clones, Rex remembered just that and told to ahsoka.
@@quecabeon Yh I saw
What pains me the most is Fives died believing Echo was dead too🥺
Fives and Tup both saying (one way or another) "The Mission is finally over" while they die is heartbreaking, because it shows even more how little of a choice they had in the war they were created for. All of Fives story was about him trying to teach people that they aren't "just" clones. They are more, they have names, they aren't a number.
And then when he dies he says "The mission, the nightmares are over" because he's freed from the war and the nightmares it gave him, even though he always did his duty
Anakin: Don't worry Fives I'll just force heal you and bring you back so you can show proof.
RotS credits roll
Well, I guess that shows why force healing in Rise of Skywalker was dumb. Or was force healing the skill Anakin wanted to learn from Palpatine to save Padmé?
Sean Wheeler Well I look at it as Luke training Kylo how to heal and Leia training Rey into learning it.
But since J.J left out any plot details throughout the movie it a seems bullshit.
So thats why everyone hates ROS I get it now but I still like it but disney now fucked it up,I bet the little kids are happy that they ruined epic
But Force-healing did exist in Legends. You can heal yourself in the Revenge of the Sith video game.
@@SeanWheeler100 Were talking about how the jedi could have force healed all the dead jedi and dead clones Baby Yoda and Rey Appreciate are the only ones in canon who can force heal, even if disney made it up how can't Obi Wan just force heal Qui Gon Jin in TPA,How Can't Anakin Force Heal Fives? *how the fuck can't maul force heal savage?*
No wonder Vader killed fox as fast as he got the chance to
Honestly if it was a scene i would watch it until i felt bad and then watch this again and do it again
actually i think he was more then happy to kill fox due to what happen with ahsoka. fox pissed Anakin off big time by not letting him see her. he was one step away from cutting him down then
Yes he did
@@GreenDragonReviews Actually watch that scene again and tell me WHO did not let Anakin see Ashoka.
I feel sad for Fox. I know he did a bad thing, but it doesn’t mean he’s horrible in general. Anakin made a bad thing by turning to the dark side. Why do you all love him then? He also did something bad. I’m not saying hate on anakin, but yeah.
Fives may not have brought this to light, but his actions saved Ahsoka's, Rex' and by extension the Bad Batch's lives.
That drugging at the start really fucked this all up for poor Fives.
If he'd been in a clear state of mind, he might have come off less like a raving mad-man.
Fuck Nala Se and Palpatine.
So his sacrifice really wasn’t for nothing...
He managed to at least save two of his closest allies. Didn't manage to stop order 66 from happening and avoid the deaths of many clones in the hands of Jedi and Jedi in the hands of the clones, which makes this infinitely more frustrating that no one believed him at that point.
nah it was for nothing. he saved like 4 people. and also i love ahsoka and all but if fives hadnt told rex and rex hadnt filed that report ahsoka wouldnt have been able to save rex and because of that wouldve died on the venator. i love ahsoka but if ahsoka died then star wars rebels wouldve only lasted 1 and 1/2 seasons because kanan and ezra wouldve died because ahsoka saved them several times in season 2. darn it.
@@RM-jq5vi
You said it was ll for nothing, but then talk about how the lives of those saved mattered. Yes, he didn't get the ultimate vindication of preventing the Order from happening, but the fact that some lives did end up saved and those lives would help with the seeds that would grow and unseat the Empire shows that in the end, Fives actions did matter.
If Ahsoka died and Rex stayed a brainwashed trooper, it truly would have been a meaningless death.
@@RM-jq5vi 4 is better than none .
@@MajinMist603 4 may be better than none but its still like 0.00000001% of the people who died -_-
Dooku, Maul and Fives were trying to help, but nobody trusted on them.

Even after all these years this scene still makes you feel sad. This man would've saved countless lives, if not for the ignorance of the Jedi. Fives deserved better.
The "I only wanted to do my duty..." just brings me to tears every time, man.

Fives, this one clone trooper probably proved to be the single greatest threat to Palpatine's grand plan during the entire clone war, which was about having the clones turn against their commanders.
IRONIC.
no he obviously wasn't. anakin and Yoda were, and he knew it
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 Fives came the closest out of anyone to exposing him, that's what I meant.
@@AgentofChaos315 dooku LITERALLY exposed him. he just wasnt believed at the time.
Actually, if you consider that Ahsoka and Rex only survive because of Fives, then the Empire sort of did fall because of him
Rex saying fives name trying to keep him up is the scariest thing to me because it’s always in the movies eventually they start to yell their name but he he’s just quietly saying it the littlest bit of hope in him just trying to reach out to fives but he truly knows there’s no saving him
One detail i love is in 02:15
Anakin instanrly trys to talk fives down again, while rex thinks about it. He wants to beleive fives, he wants to beleive his brother.

This show wasn't afraid to get gritty, and thats why it's one of my all time favorite TV shows. There's so much more development, attachment, and emotion to the characters in this series.
As good as band of brothers
It’s so weird watching how Rex and Anakin became opposite numbers, at the beginning of the series Rex was all about being only a soldier and gruff but as their series progressed and he learned and witnessed more of life he became more emotional and fleshed out. Anakin started out emotional but as the series progressed I could witness him growing colder and more machine like. Like when crosshair insulted echo and Rex punched him, so weird seeing Anakin being the logical calm one and Rex being emotional.

@@michaelnally2841 Dear God, you're right! Rex is involved in both of their death! Now I'm even more sad
And so dies (for now) the last member of the Domino squad, one of the best men the Republic could ever ask for. It hurts, even more, knowing that Fives was the last chance Jedi could see what was coming. If I were ever a Jedi, there is no one else I would be proud to lead more than these: Waxer, Boil, Heavy, Echo, Fives, Rex, Wolffe, Kix and so much more. They were the main heroes of this series, never to be forgotten.
May the Force be with you, brothers.
Watching this for the first time was so tragic. You already know what’s going to happen, that he’s not gonna reveal the information the Jedi so desperately need in order to save them, but you still hope he can. RIP Fives, also amazing that they referenced him in the last season of Clone Wars.
After years of thinking he died for nothing, we get our season 7 finale... He's death will always be the most tragic but i'm glad to know he didn't die in vain. Ahsoka and Rex survived order 66 because of him.... Thank you Dave Filoni for this story Arc
He saved a brother he loved and a Jedi he respected.
How devastated I was when I first watched this. Listen carefully to his voice, the desperation, the fear, the hopelessness... I could almost taste the emotions. It's a fucking raw scene. I keep coming to this.
"you dont beLIEVE ME!"

@@tangent.arc38618 it's Dee Bradley Baker

@@joda7697 yeah he is amazing
Even worse given that Nala Se drugged him.
I feel bad for both Fives and Rex. Fives had every capability to prevent the biggest betrayal the Jedi ever faced. And Rex, that nearly broke him. After how many clones he'd seen cut down, how many brothers and friends he'd lost, to see him moments away from tears when Fives died right there...
Seriously love this series, the emotion, directing, all of it.
Gotta give props to everyone who worked on clone wars, this show really touches your soul at times, only they could've made identical clones be much more than that. Fives was my favorite ever since the Rookies episode, everytime he made it into an episode that was pure hype to me. Seeing my favorite clone go out like that was definitely the saddest moment in the show for me, I'm just glad that eventually the intel that Fives shared with Rex (finale spoilers ahead) ended up saving Ashoka. At least we still have the notorious Captain Rex and the sole survivor of Domino Squad: Echo, now partnered with the Bad Batch. Really can't wait for Bad Batch season 2!
