I loved this show mainly because it showed how arrogant and flawed the Jedi council was, like they literally could’ve stopped order 66 and completely disrespected Ashoka
Ben and Core Y And how Mace, instead of admitting that they were wrong about distrusting Ahsoka, tell her that it was “the force testimg her, for her trials”
Actually, Fives was shot by Fox, leader of the corosant guard. That was the tradgety of it all. He was killed right before he could tell anakin and rex
I’m saying man I love Mace but the Jedi Council just fucked everything up.. they slow to everything fucking happening because scared of some dark shit 🤦🏾♂️
Who cares ? Soy Wars oops Star Wars is dead ! R.I.P. Star Wars ! R.I.P. ! Disney Star Wars is 25% different from original Star Wars because Disney refuse to pay George Lucas his IP money ! IP = intellectual property. We will never get original Star Wars again but 25% different Disney Star Wars set in an alternate universe ! Let the Elite White Social Justice Warriors leftists Feminist Democrats have this dumpster fire called 25% different Disney Star Wars ! Even if 25% different Disney Star fails in the theatre, Disney will Disney it that movie ! Disney it = buying empty movie theatre tickets to boost movie ticket sales !
22:37 Personally, I think the battle of Umbara was the highlight of the season. It had incredible, brutal action combined with intricate storytelling showing the true pain of the clones and it really developed characters like Rex, Fives and other clones, as they have to directly disobey their programming that they knew their entire life in order to do the right thing. Not to mention Pong Krell, one of the most despicable characters in the show and reflected how real-world generals act towards their troops. The last moments of the arc are also very heavy, as Rex, Fives, Tup and others contemplate on their purpose and what will happen to them when the war ends. Overall, it was just perfect storytelling.
It is funny how clone wars is more realistic than the last Jedi,clone wars shows sacrifice for the greater good while the last Jedi has that dumb line:if you sacrifice yourself you are letting them win(or something like that)
Yeah that shit was dope. Felt like an actual warzone, you get to see how the clones constantly have to adapt to so many different terrains. You respect the clones so much more after that arch.
I also really like how well the character development was handled in the show. A notable example is Fives, who went from being a seemingly insignificant clone to the man who nearly revealed the truth about Order 66 to the Jedi before being shot and killed.
DanM09 Gaming I used to like Fox because of his armor, and then I actually saw all the things he did wrong in the show. That’s when literally everyone who has half a brain realizes who the worst clone is as he disobeyed his OWN command.
i like her too but hooooly shit am i tired of hearing ppl jerk off to her. We get it, ahsokas good. She's treated as a fucking goddess at this point its embarrassing. Hey uh, there were other good elements to the clone wars too! It wasnt all just about ahsoka! Im not talking about you specifically ive just seen an EXCESSIVE amount of ppl idolizing her recently and its kind of annoying rlly.
I grew up with the movies as well. Both prequels and original, but I definitely connected with this more as a kid and even as an adult now. Love this show way more than I did as a child. Goes to show how damn good the writing this show had.
He said the saddest scene in the show is Satine’s death. Number 2 is Ahsoka leaving Anakin and the Order behind and of course number 1, rip Fives😔 we lost a true Solider.
I feel like the best part of it is how it dares to explores the world of Star Wars more than just Sith and Jedi just so damn interesting, and it’s a tv series which give it more opportunity without the restriction of time, I would say that they fix like everything in the prequels especially most of the characters
I love the growth Lil'Soka had throughout the series. As well as the fact that TCW never feared to veer to a darker tone if the story demanded it. Sadly, I doubt that will ever happen again under Disney 😔
@@anamariawil1 99% sure season 5 was done before Disney took over. S6 was already completed and was released to netflix so they allowed it to be dark. S7 will be released on Disney's own streaming services with all the other kiddy Disney crap they dont allow mature shows on there they put those on Hulu, so S7 will most likely be tame.
@@TrueNorthProductions but the episodes for season 7 are from the unfinished episodes all those years ago. They just took three arcs from there, the seige of Mandalore, The Bad Batch and the third one I'm not certain if it's Boba's conflict with Cad Bane. It's not like Disney is rewriting the entire thing. They just came in last minute to finish the animation. The reels are on RUclips, you can tell from the trailers alone that they got the scenes from there.
Its so very 50/50 on wether or not that can occur or not. Most of Clone wars were funded by George Lucas' own money as a passion project. Would the cold buisness minded Disney do the same out of respect? Out of a promise of success and profit or not at all thinking fans will just eat anything out of nostalgia and dooming Clone Wars to a shameful end? Who knows. Least we still have this gem of a series.
Erlend Kaarbø I think they will. Watch the trailer. Ashoka slices at the Mandalorians’ guns rather than at them. Remember when she beheaded 4 at one time? Yeah it doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen. And don’t get me wrong, I like each Disney Star Wars movie, but it’s not looking like season 7 will have the same brutality as the rest of the show.
Okay let’s just say this right now! This show was amazing and there’s not doubt about it. I’ve watched it 30 times with my mother, brother and father all together. I can never get over of this this show.
@@chaloongis1693 i have read extensively into the eu and i know that tcw didnt adapt events like the battle of jabiim etc. 2 years later and i still like the clone wars a lot; just i have fell a bit out of favor with much of the post-tcw stuff filoni has been doing & i also more prefer the original interpretation of order 66 where the clones knew they were to betray the jedi at the start rather than inhibitor chips.
I literally almost cried when maul killed Satine. This was and still is an amazing show I just hope it gets the treatment it deserves when it comes back in 2020. Don't mess this up Disney
I love how it expanded upon background characters seen in the prequel trilogy like kit fisto and plo Koon, making it all the more tragic seeing those characters get killed in order 66.
Great video and great content. Few things i would like to add personally if its okay. 1) one thing that should be more highlighted upon is how it was shown the relationship between the jedi and the clones. how clones were always shown between the lines of being puppets/slaves for the jedi or brothers in arms.specially the episodes with Jedi Krell, the trust between jedi and clones were heavily argued and I loved how they brought more in depth view on it. 2) Next would be the criticizing of the Jedi Order. It was shown how many people felt as though the Jedi has becomes puppets for the republic in itself. Jedi are peace keepers not mercenaries or soldiers. 3) Similarly to the jedi, it was shown how the government & most people treated clones as less than animals . They were mostly seen as cannon fodder and can always be reproduced. 4) The DROIDSS.. specially the B1 Battle droids. loved all their interactions and dialog. It gave the series a much needed comedic relief. ps: Captain Rex deserves his own number on that list. His character buildup and relationship with Anakin and Asoka, along with the action sequences he got made it so great.
I love this show! I've always loved the TV series, especially since it was set between AOTC and ROTS and it goes more in depth with the prequel storyline!
Indeed. Obi Wans Roasts and Trolling was better than ever. My favorite one is "What is the hight of stupidity" on which Obi Wan answers is "Anakin, how tall are you? "
I grew up with this show, and personally became attached to this show. It provided so much interesting material that we never got to experience during the prequel trilogy, such as the battle of umbara where we got see in more detail about how the clones feel. I also adored how we got more fights with count dooku, in which he really shined during this series giving us intense, and elegant fights. And we also received a lot of information about sub factions, like we got information about the nightsisters, death watch, and bounty hunters by getting whole arcs dedicating to their development. But my favorite scene is when darth sidius fights darth maul, and savage opress
Nick M. I many people who grew up around 2001 (like myself) really became attach to the Clone Wars. Personally, I enjoy the prequels a lot more than the original trilogy in my opinion.
There's an actual fan "Satine and Obi-Wan wedding" floating around this site. Even the voice actors of Satine and Obi-Wan officiated it! James Arnold Taylor actually compiled recordings of it on his own channel! (Even used some of my visual recording because of the good angle, but thankfully used his audio.)
Finally binge-watched all 7 seasons plus the movie, and totally worth it. Really felt for all the characters at the end, knowing what is coming. Those last few episodes of season 7 tho were tough viewing. 😢
Winnie The Flu waste of a character WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY MEEN. Boba Fett in the original trilogy literally did nothing but get his ass kicked into a sarlac pit. Cad Bane is an actual badass he single handedly stole a holocron, escaped jedi masters, and survived the cube. I honestly don’t think you even watched the damn show,
straight up, Dave feloni has my respect for clone wars, but then again rebels really isn’t it and he made that but it was probably filtered a lot because of Disney
When Disney bought SW rights and the original show was due for cancellation, Dave and his crew just said “fuck it” and just went crazy with each storyline. It was risky but definitely worth of my time
Ahsoka is my favorite character in Star Wars period. She has a fantastic and is a legitimately strong female character with trials and realism. Disney could learn a lot of writing women from her.
@@PeterWolniewicz ok, maybe I shouldn't say this, but he spent 25 min yesterday talking about pokemon with another man, at a pub at the bar we were sitting at. No age restrictions for fun and he's very happy and proud to talk about all of it.
I find it interesting how in your earlier clone wars review you cited the politics as boring, now are highlighting them as vital and integral to the overall worth of the story. Amazing what 5 years of growth can do, and a testament to how well they made this show that it can appeal to both young and old.
Being born in 2002, my introduction to star wars was through this TV series. And they did a great job building Anakin's character. So I was absolutely gobber smacked when I find out he was darth vader
This series made me cry and cheer all at once so many times. They just handled characters so well and conveyed the stories and arcs of these characters in a mature way while still offering thrilling action and clever worldbuilding.
I love this series just because it covered all of the storylines and loose ends that Attack of the clones and revenge of the sith. I think ROTS was a really good movie, and what happened in clone wars made it even more powerful, especially after watching the last episodes.
I absolutely love this show, I loved it as a kid I love it as an adult. Its just such an amazing series, watching this show like collecting the clone wars figures was my bread and butter.
Both are amazing in their own ways. The 2003 has amazing action scenes, a bit exagerated but still incredible. The 3d series has one of the best character development in history of cartoons. I like the 3d more but also love gendry's vision of star Wars universe.
I love both but i think the 2003 one had better action and But the 2008 series had better story telling and handled the clones better than the 2003 series the clones in that one had next to no personalty and were faceless and were canon fodder.
@@darthsynyster2623 yeah the 2003 series had good action but it was a bit over the top and cartoony at times where the 2008 one's action was more ground and realistic to the fights in the prequel films.
Also the references and foreshadowing. They do so many winks and nods to not only the prequel trilogy, but to the og. Like when Krell says, “It’s treason then” or when Anakin shakes Tarkins’ hand and a bit of the Imperial theme starts playing, goddamit man its just so awesome
@@lordjaraxxus5418 - Thank you.... - Thank you for what.....? - For my name, sir. Cutup! *this has nothing to do with your comment so I question why I wrote it...*
this show always leaves my intestines PACKED! it is big tradition of mine to watch tcw with a huge groop of friends and eat blocks of cheese (one at a time). 12 hour sessions turn into 12 hour toilet sessions
my favorite part was the mortis arc specifically when he asked the father what to do and he told him remember what he did on mortis, basically getting rid of the light and then coming back to defeat the dark, symbolized by the sisters death and then him killing the brother. which foreshadows him going to the dark then killing palpatine.
We actually hear two clone names in the prequels. 1) When Obi-Wan talks to Cody 2) When Obi-Wan tells Oddball to form his squadron of ARC-170's behind him during the Battle of Coruscant
@@noahjessup9342 that was what i said. The clone wars made the clones actual people with personality and depth, they arent just action figures only to sell toys like in the movies.
The best lightsaber fight/duel in all of Star Wars is Darth Maul vs Pre Vizsla. By FAR. The next best happens one episode later, when Maul and Savage fight Sidious on Mandalore. It's crazy how an animated show can have better action sequences than the films lol Maul vs Pre Vizsla wasn't just a flashy lightsaber duel, it was a brutal fight, to the death with plenty of punches thrown, knees, faces smashed, and life and death stakes. It was masterfully done. And Jon Favreau voices Vizsla perfectly. 👍
I feel sorry for savage oppress he just wanted to protect his brothers and that is so lovable but the night sisters turned him into that devastating powerful awe inspiring beast of destruction and evil
I think the only thing you missed was Grevious, as in my opinion not only is he number 3 on villains in the clone Wars behind maul and Palpatine, but overall one the most sadistic and darkest charachters of the series. Also I love how it puts you in a difficult position to chose sides, as neither is completely correct or good, I found myself so many times rooting for the seps but also so many times rooting for the Republic, and it makes it even better to know in Rebels that had the war continued the seps would have won, I love this show
@@falling_vega1257 ah but thats not being coward, its knowing when to retreat and when to attack, besides Ashoka was always either saved or got lucky, I mean Grevious was never meant to be a great light saber duelist, he is a tactician and a great warrior who can use any kind of weapon, he however would always be outperformed by Jedis as they are trained from a young age, dont see Grevious as a sith or a light saber dueling villain, but a plain Tactician who will stop at nothing to win the war
I understand what you’re saying, and why they took him in the direction they did, but I just think the 2003 show handled him better, making him kinda menacing and imposing. I know he was good at fighting in the show, but he wasn’t always very threatening (that being said, he still had some good moments)
I'm so happy that you have almost 800k subs now. I remember watching your clone wars vid when it first came out when u had like, 500 subs. You've grown a ton, glad to see you're such a big success.
For me is funny all those "The Clone Wars is not for kids" coments when most of those who watched it were kids when they did. It has brutal death yes, but only when you think about them, but none is explict, there is no blood and majority of kills happened in seconds and are forgotten and treated like nothing by the next scene, so is not even that impactfull. They dont even treated or showed death that much until older seasons when the audience was older too. It was more of a "Growing with the audience" thing.
A few other reasons: Bounty Hunters/Criminal Underworld: Cad Bane is my all time favorite character bc of this show. He’s a complete badass. Aurra Sing, Boosk, Embo and Boba Fett are used so well just like the criminal syndicates like the Pykes and the Black Sun Asajj Ventress: Her entire arc is unmatched. She went from a one dimensional assassin to a reliable, vulnerable but strong bounty hunter. Honda Ohnaka: Another all time favorite of mine. Even tho he’s used as comedy relief, he literally steals every scene he’s in and has a big impact in the show and even in Rebels.
If they didn't change anything but make it live action, it'd be right there with The Mandalorian if not better. The stories and the feels were so good in this series, you cared for the characters. I agree with your whole list which is weird to type because it doesn't happen often. :) Thanks for the video!
Some of the points and things that we “haven’t seen before” we have though. They were in Clone Wars and it was cool stuff then too. Though I agree that it was awesome to see them in this version too.
10:23, both left the Jedi Order. Albeit in very different ways, with varying levels of violence. Anakin killed a bunch of little kids is what I'm saying.
I love the clone wars. Rewatched the entire series 5 times. It is the most hidden gem in star wars. I'm slowly convincing my friend group to start watching it, and they all love it once they start.
Yeah, it was the best Star Wars i have ever watched. There were so many interesting stories which have been revealed in this series. My favorites are: Ashoka, Obiwan Kenobi’s lost love, Asaji Ventress, etc. Hopefully Disney won’t destroy it like they did with Rebels.
"The best thing about The Clone Wars is The Clone Wars"

@Nikola V - Fact.
Love him or hate him, he’s spitting straight facts.

How could they "literally could’ve stopped order 66"?

Few things i would like to add personally if its okay.
1) one thing that should be more highlighted upon is how it was shown the relationship between the jedi and the clones.
how clones were always shown between the lines of being puppets/slaves for the jedi or brothers in arms.specially the episodes with Jedi Krell, the trust between jedi and clones were heavily argued and I loved how they brought more in depth view on it.
2) Next would be the criticizing of the Jedi Order. It was shown how many people felt as though the Jedi has becomes puppets for the republic in itself. Jedi are peace keepers not mercenaries or soldiers.
3) Similarly to the jedi, it was shown how the government & most people treated clones as less than animals . They were mostly seen as cannon fodder and can always be reproduced.
4) The DROIDSS.. specially the B1 Battle droids. loved all their interactions and dialog. It gave the series a much needed comedic relief.
ps: Captain Rex deserves his own number on that list. His character buildup and relationship with Anakin and Asoka, along with the action sequences he got made it so great.
I love this show! I've always loved the TV series, especially since it was set between AOTC and ROTS and it goes more in depth with the prequel storyline!
Gevie Santa same, me and my brother used to love this show during our late childhood.
Agreed if you watch the entire show between those movies you really feel the grandiose of the complete story
Everybody forgot about Heavy :( he went down fighting to the end.

I don’t
I know this comment is 2 years old, but his name is Hevy
The comedy, or more specifically, Obi-Wan's savageness should have been a point in itself.
Indeed. Obi Wans Roasts and Trolling was better than ever. My favorite one is "What is the hight of stupidity" on which Obi Wan answers is "Anakin, how tall are you? "
I grew up with this show, and personally became attached to this show. It provided so much interesting material that we never got to experience during the prequel trilogy, such as the battle of umbara where we got see in more detail about how the clones feel. I also adored how we got more fights with count dooku, in which he really shined during this series giving us intense, and elegant fights. And we also received a lot of information about sub factions, like we got information about the nightsisters, death watch, and bounty hunters by getting whole arcs dedicating to their development. But my favorite scene is when darth sidius fights darth maul, and savage opress
Nick M. I many people who grew up around 2001 (like myself) really became attach to the Clone Wars. Personally, I enjoy the prequels a lot more than the original trilogy in my opinion.
There's an actual fan "Satine and Obi-Wan wedding" floating around this site. Even the voice actors of Satine and Obi-Wan officiated it! James Arnold Taylor actually compiled recordings of it on his own channel! (Even used some of my visual recording because of the good angle, but thankfully used his audio.)
Finally binge-watched all 7 seasons plus the movie, and totally worth it.
Really felt for all the characters at the end, knowing what is coming. Those last few episodes of season 7 tho were tough viewing. 😢
I met James Arnold Taylor at a convention earlier this year, which was amazing
After so many years in the animation industry, this was the best job I ever had. Feeling nostalgia watching some of my shots here.
Ahsoka is so awesome. He’s literally a complete badass when season 4 rolls around
He? Ahsoka is a girl
All I needed to read was the title to agree 100%. It’s my favorite piece of media of all time period
The best part of Clone wars are the bounty hunters. Cad Bane is epic
I cannot agree with this statement more
For sure! My favorite arcs are when he breaks into the temple and Undercover Obi
Cad Bane was such a waste of a character hes so cheesy.
Winnie The Flu waste of a character WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY MEEN. Boba Fett in the original trilogy literally did nothing but get his ass kicked into a sarlac pit. Cad Bane is an actual badass he single handedly stole a holocron, escaped jedi masters, and survived the cube. I honestly don’t think you even watched the damn show,
@@sam-bq7hl understandable yeah but let me stop you here.

This show adds so much more depth to Revenge of the Sith.

I'll Say it again DAVE Feloni Should have taken over after George Lucas left.
He’s Amazing and just proves it even more with The Mandalorian
straight up, Dave feloni has my respect for clone wars, but then again rebels really isn’t it and he made that but it was probably filtered a lot because of Disney
When Disney bought SW rights and the original show was due for cancellation, Dave and his crew just said “fuck it” and just went crazy with each storyline. It was risky but definitely worth of my time
I’m surprised we’ve never seen Filoni write a novel in the Star Wars universe
Here here no more Kennedy
This is one of my all time favourite shows I've ever watched, so much well written story telling and characters.
I always loved seeing the clones different personalities and how they had different hairstyles and facial hair to feel more individual
Also, the show gives many character the opportunity to shine, like Padme, the droids, Jar Jar Binks...

~~sorry not sorry~~
@@connorschultz380 ouch.
@@connorschultz380 So are episodes 8 and 9
I love the action and the way they wrote it, with the arc system. Every 3-4 episodes is a great mini plot
Ahsoka is my favorite character in Star Wars period. She has a fantastic and is a legitimately strong female character with trials and realism. Disney could learn a lot of writing women from her.
Jackal Nerf you know what’s funny she has never been in a movie
@CarthOnasiFan2005 I never said she was the first good female character, just that she was a good one. Hold onto your tits there Clyde.
The visuals in action just made me sad remembering when my 8 year old self had to watch clones get tragically killed.

Goerge Lucas's daughter wrote some great storylines for Clone Wars. Her material is a lot of my favorite stuff.
Very true thats right, are u watching season 7?
i love how AOTC and ROTS are like the premiere for The Clone Wars and the finale, they all flow as a whole story so well
Pro Tip: If you're making a non-ordered list, start counting at #1
There's no "pro" way to do it. Stop acting like you're better than him
I find it interesting how in your earlier clone wars review you cited the politics as boring, now are highlighting them as vital and integral to the overall worth of the story. Amazing what 5 years of growth can do, and a testament to how well they made this show that it can appeal to both young and old.
i cant believe that it has been almost 6 years since a new episode of the Clone Wars has aired. Time really flies. smh
Being born in 2002, my introduction to star wars was through this TV series. And they did a great job building Anakin's character. So I was absolutely gobber smacked when I find out he was darth vader
“The Clones are arguably the best part of the show”
Ah, yes, and the floor is the most important part of the floor.
This series made me cry and cheer all at once so many times. They just handled characters so well and conveyed the stories and arcs of these characters in a mature way while still offering thrilling action and clever worldbuilding.
0:38
That convo between Rex and Fives was deep.
This show was my childhood so it was particularly touching to see it get a finishing season. It’s so amazing and does so much for the story!
"Imagine what if prequels were good" ~ The Clone Wars
They were already good
I love this series just because it covered all of the storylines and loose ends that Attack of the clones and revenge of the sith. I think ROTS was a really good movie, and what happened in clone wars made it even more powerful, especially after watching the last episodes.
MovieFlame- I've watched it through 5 times.
Me- I've watched it 15.....
Orka Gaming 020 ha I’ve watched it 20
Rex Parker 50.
I think I've watched certain arcs like Malevolence, Ryloth, and the Citadel over 20 times
I absolutely love this show, I loved it as a kid I love it as an adult. Its just such an amazing series, watching this show like collecting the clone wars figures was my bread and butter.
I love the crybabies who say that this series is shit compsred to gendys...
Both are amazing
the 2003 show is really overrated
Talking Film agreed
Both are amazing in their own ways. The 2003 has amazing action scenes, a bit exagerated but still incredible. The 3d series has one of the best character development in history of cartoons. I like the 3d more but also love gendry's vision of star Wars universe.
I love both but i think the 2003 one had better action and But the 2008 series had better story telling and handled the clones better than the 2003 series the clones in that one had next to no personalty and were faceless and were canon fodder.
@@darthsynyster2623 yeah the 2003 series had good action but it was a bit over the top and cartoony at times where the 2008 one's action was more ground and realistic to the fights in the prequel films.
Also the references and foreshadowing. They do so many winks and nods to not only the prequel trilogy, but to the og. Like when Krell says, “It’s treason then” or when Anakin shakes Tarkins’ hand and a bit of the Imperial theme starts playing, goddamit man its just so awesome

Poor dude-
There's also a Jedi named "Ima-gun-di" that dies in the episode he's introduced
this show always leaves my intestines PACKED! it is big tradition of mine to watch tcw with a huge groop of friends and eat blocks of cheese (one at a time). 12 hour sessions turn into 12 hour toilet sessions
Clone wars was my personal introduction to Star Wars and watched this before I watched the original trilogy
OOF Anakins fall must have been ROUGH
my favorite part was the mortis arc specifically when he asked the father what to do and he told him remember what he did on mortis, basically getting rid of the light and then coming back to defeat the dark, symbolized by the sisters death and then him killing the brother. which foreshadows him going to the dark then killing palpatine.
Haven't even watched 10 seconds yet but I agree.
i always cry when i watch asoka leave the order. powerful stuff
We actually hear two clone names in the prequels. 1) When Obi-Wan talks to Cody 2) When Obi-Wan tells Oddball to form his squadron of ARC-170's behind him during the Battle of Coruscant
Yeah, but in the prequels the clones arent charaters with personality, they are just CGI action figures only to sell toys
@@andreiefectivuatafac1966 Tell that to the clones in The Clone Wars, they have plenty of character
@@noahjessup9342 that was what i said. The clone wars made the clones actual people with personality and depth, they arent just action figures only to sell toys like in the movies.

You could have just said, "For all the reasons you think." :P
The best lightsaber fight/duel in all of Star Wars is Darth Maul vs Pre Vizsla.
By FAR.
The next best happens one episode later, when Maul and Savage fight Sidious on Mandalore.
It's crazy how an animated show can have better action sequences than the films lol Maul vs Pre Vizsla wasn't just a flashy lightsaber duel, it was a brutal fight, to the death with plenty of punches thrown, knees, faces smashed, and life and death stakes.
It was masterfully done. And Jon Favreau voices Vizsla perfectly. 👍
I feel sorry for savage oppress he just wanted to protect his brothers and that is so lovable but the night sisters turned him into that devastating powerful awe inspiring beast of destruction and evil
Watching this after season 7 and shaking my head at “ saltines death was the saddest part in the show”
I think the only thing you missed was Grevious, as in my opinion not only is he number 3 on villains in the clone Wars behind maul and Palpatine, but overall one the most sadistic and darkest charachters of the series. Also I love how it puts you in a difficult position to chose sides, as neither is completely correct or good, I found myself so many times rooting for the seps but also so many times rooting for the Republic, and it makes it even better to know in Rebels that had the war continued the seps would have won, I love this show
I think they handled Grevious pretty badly. He was cowardly and incompetent and for a Jedi killer, he couldn’t even kill Ashoka.
@@falling_vega1257 ah but thats not being coward, its knowing when to retreat and when to attack, besides Ashoka was always either saved or got lucky, I mean Grevious was never meant to be a great light saber duelist, he is a tactician and a great warrior who can use any kind of weapon, he however would always be outperformed by Jedis as they are trained from a young age, dont see Grevious as a sith or a light saber dueling villain, but a plain Tactician who will stop at nothing to win the war
I understand what you’re saying, and why they took him in the direction they did, but I just think the 2003 show handled him better, making him kinda menacing and imposing.
I know he was good at fighting in the show, but he wasn’t always very threatening (that being said, he still had some good moments)
@@eldwarf034 The 2003 show handled Grevious way better. Super imposing, killed like 5 jedi in one fight every time he appeared.
I'm so happy that you have almost 800k subs now. I remember watching your clone wars vid when it first came out when u had like, 500 subs. You've grown a ton, glad to see you're such a big success.
The show never was for kids, thats why im 100% agree, and screw everyone who thinks that its childish
@Victor Nikolai Just like any other fan, yes
Clay Jay I’m ten but I love this show but I guess my 7 year old sister thinks it scary
For me is funny all those "The Clone Wars is not for kids" coments when most of those who watched it were kids when they did. It has brutal death yes, but only when you think about them, but none is explict, there is no blood and majority of kills happened in seconds and are forgotten and treated like nothing by the next scene, so is not even that impactfull. They dont even treated or showed death that much until older seasons when the audience was older too. It was more of a "Growing with the audience" thing.
Rewatching and Marathoning this amazing series the Clone Wars because of The Mandalorian
While it has it's flaws, I love the series. Excellent video.
What show doesn’t have flaws though.
@@jarlbalgruuf7701 The Adventures of Puss 'n Boots, obviously.
Shrek is love, Shrek is life...
What flaws???
A few other reasons:
Bounty Hunters/Criminal Underworld: Cad Bane is my all time favorite character bc of this show. He’s a complete badass. Aurra Sing, Boosk, Embo and Boba Fett are used so well just like the criminal syndicates like the Pykes and the Black Sun
Asajj Ventress: Her entire arc is unmatched. She went from a one dimensional assassin to a reliable, vulnerable but strong bounty hunter.
Honda Ohnaka: Another all time favorite of mine. Even tho he’s used as comedy relief, he literally steals every scene he’s in and has a big impact in the show and even in Rebels.
If they didn't change anything but make it live action, it'd be right there with The Mandalorian if not better. The stories and the feels were so good in this series, you cared for the characters. I agree with your whole list which is weird to type because it doesn't happen often. :) Thanks for the video!
Its better than the mandalorian already
@@Martin-ki8jv nah
Some of the points and things that we “haven’t seen before” we have though. They were in Clone Wars and it was cool stuff then too. Though I agree that it was awesome to see them in this version too.
10:23, both left the Jedi Order. Albeit in very different ways, with varying levels of violence. Anakin killed a bunch of little kids is what I'm saying.
I love the clone wars. Rewatched the entire series 5 times. It is the most hidden gem in star wars. I'm slowly convincing my friend group to start watching it, and they all love it once they start.
Season 7 is going to add a lot of juicy content for battlefront 2.

Yes it is, I'd be willing to agree with that. And I'm over thirty and grew up on the OT.😉
No one's fighting on this one everyone agrees 😂😂😂
Yeah, it was the best Star Wars i have ever watched. There were so many interesting stories which have been revealed in this series. My favorites are: Ashoka, Obiwan Kenobi’s lost love, Asaji Ventress, etc.
Hopefully Disney won’t destroy it like they did with Rebels.
