Season 1 Episode 6: Downfall of a Droid
Season 1 Episode 7: Duel of the Droids
Season 1 Episode 8: Bombad Jedi
Season 1 Episode 9: Cloak of Darkness
Season 1 Episode 10: Lair of Grievous
Season 1 Episode 11: Dooku Captured
Season 1 Episode 12: The Gungan General
Hope you guys enjoy the reaction! Much love
Editor, question... I know you watched a Pitch Meeting with Alex a while ago, have you watched more since then? I think Alex would have fun with some from movies he's all done with, like, let's say, Harry Potter. Also, you rock.
aww every *other* week? shame but understandable, ty for the list!
As much as I'd love this every week, I get that that would probably be pretty stressful with everything else. Hope y'all are having fun and beyond excited to when Alex gets to the *good* stuff
Decent episodes can’t wait till Alex watches later seasons
You never fail to make us edge
"Clone Wars Keeps Getting DARKER"
The Umbara Arc: You haven't seen anything yet...
**cough** Mother Talzin **cough** The Night Sisters **cough**
The Umbara arc will destroy Alex. And yet I'm already thinking of the weird names Alex is going to call Krell lol! Something to do with his chin I think! 😂
Yep :) nightmares are in his future
@@Jaden_The_Celestialcough cough slave ark cough cough
Not clones sir , men !
Top 10 best Clone Wars Lines: "I would kill you both right now, if I did not have to drag your bodies."
So mad Alex talked over it 😭 he would’ve loved that line but mans got the patience of a napkin, all love tho 😂
@@kemp6510 He didn't talk over it though?
@@SciFiGuruThe edit was a little weird, either way the end of the line got cut and I wanted to see his reaction 😭
Rex called her sir because she officially outranks him. All Jedi knights are generals and all padawans are commanders by default.
Yea but wouldn't it still be Ma'am?, but then Ashoka isn't an adult yet and Sir is generally used by most people out of habit anyway. So maybe the writers were just playing it safe. Or Rex is just confused lol.
@Roman_Eagle in the military, you refer to your higher ups as sir, regardless of gender. It's a respect thing.
@@Roman_Eagle "We salute the rank, not the man."
It's interesting. I'm not an English speaker and in my country's dub, Rex actually called her "maam".
@@seabass819 Interesting. I'm from the UK and here, I'm led to believe, we are supposed to say Ma'am. Is it different in the US then? I'm not in the military but my Grandfather and Uncle were, but a long time ago, so...
Us Clone Wars fans (old, new, and current) need this every week! (I get why it's every other week, though) At least I'll have something to look forward to every other Friday for a while.
I second this
Same I love these ^^
I've been missing these uploads for a while now, so happy we got some more
Yes!
Yeah, it gotta be weekly. there are some many SW things yet to be seen.
Im not sure if any one else has mentioned this yet but there is a reason that is not stated in the movies or the series as to why Anakin is so attached to R2 and willing to risk his and others lives to keep him whole and in tact, memory unwiped. He and Padme cant exactly wear wedding rings to show their love and commitment to each other so during their wedding ceremony, they each gifted the other their droids. Hence 3 PO always being at her side as well...
Lol I actually didn't know that, everything makes a lot more sense now
Beat me to the explanation
I’m so proud
Yeah. And C3P0 Anakin built by hand, and R2 had served Padme since she had been a Handmaiden.
@@Spectacular_Insanity Padme was never a handmaiden lmao.
Wow didn't know that @@luca_lwls
One of the many fantastic things they did with this series is give humanity to the Clones and not just make them out to be mindless, faceless goons like Stormtroopers or Battle Droids.
Sadly Stormtroopers were made to be mindless goons. They get fed so much propaganda down the throat while in the academy that's what they become. Kinda of sad tbh.
In the end the Clones were no different from Droids, both were puppets, but the fate of the clones is still tragic
@@sauronthedarklord9149 Indeed.
Exactly- both are manufactured but the clones are still human with minds, hearts, blood, and souls
Kit Fisto is the definition of a badass mf who looks cool as hell. Plus he’s always got that iconic smile.
@DrWatson4 spittinng some facts.
@@pjklockner5683 you know it.
Kit Fisto do be kinda handsome tho
*Sees title*. Me: "We haven't even started"
Yeah. If this is dark Clone Wars for him... he's gonna shit himself come season 5.
@@igorpodemski9596And season 7
“Like you said, only the strongest shall rule”
Wait until he see umbara.
This makes me want to see him react to game of thrones xd
"She's gonna be such a badass."
Boy, you just wait.
I can’t wait for him to see season 7 peak Ahsoka!
Peaks in season 7 then falls in rebels and in her own goddamn show. Fuck disney.
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kellyrebels wasn’t bad. The Ahsoka show shit though. No sabezra and Sabine didn’t go back with Ezra and Rosario Dawson can’t swing a lightsaber for shit.
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly Nah Rebels Ahsoka is fucking ace
@@j0hn00 Disney ruin the entire cast of rebels in the Mando/ashoka show, hell I didn't even like rebels (the TWC killer) or give it a chance until years later and found it to be pretty decent...but I guess that's legends too now since all the characters are different.
Commander Stone may be the smartest Clone of all, he's the only person to have ever deliberately weaponised Jar Jar's 'clumsiness'.
Wish we saw him again
"The Jedi use the Force constantly. To deflect blaster bolts. To dodge hits. To predict their opponents moves. To sense danger. To read thoughts. etc...
During a typical battle between a Jedi & Sith in the films, overt use of the Force is at a minimum when they bust out the lightsabers. It's because they have to focus all their attention on not getting diced into pieces.
Sith typically just find a good moment to press on the attack during a break in the battle or when an opening reveals itself. The Jedi wouldn't outwardly attack a living being with the Force like the Sith do but they are perfectly fine doing so with droids, as they are not life-forms but constructs."
The complete disrespect for droids in the Star Wars universe. Just as sentient, but treated like less.
Another thing too is I read it in the first darth bane book there’s a literal force field that surrounds them which protects against attacks from other force users bane even mentions breaking through one to kill another sith
36:41
To quote Grievous before you spoke over him: "You expect victory over the jedi, but all you give me to fight them is battle droids!"
The VA for Ahsoka, Ashley Eckstein, was also very snippy at her audition for the part, which is actually what got her the part, that’s part of why Ahsoka is so snippy, and Anakin calls her snips. Ashley has done so much for especially female star wars fans with her star wars clothing line, among many others things. She’s the unofficial cheerleader of star wars, and Ahsoka’s number 1 fan. You should watch some interviews and/or con panels with her, she is so kind, genuine, sweet, and positive all the time. Truly a wonderful person.
In canon anakin is actually the best pilot in the entire galaxy. Dave explained that it’s just fun sometimes to make him crash. . 😂but they always give him good reason.
Just gotta point this out: using the Force isn't limited to telekinetically throwing things around or pushing things back. Every movement that a Force Sensitive makes in battle is being guided and physically amplified by the Force. Every time someone blocks or redirects a blaster bolt, or leaps and dodges with grace and agility that make ballerinas blush with envy, that's the Force.
Don’t know how much you play video games, but you should play the star wars lego games after you’ve reacted to all of clone wars, they are so much fun, especially the complete saga and clone wars. There are also some Lego star wars LEGO animated episodes and specials you should react to, and the LEGO games in general are just a lot of fun.
In the Phantom menace, Jar Jar was literally exiled from his own people for being too clumsy
I wanna see Anakin fight Griveous and Maul so bad, Hayden and Ray Park, the 2 best lightsaber fighters, in my opinion. And if you wanna see force powers, play the game force unleashed.
I love everytime it is reminded to us how much NOT a kids show this is. And we´re still on the lighter side of the clone wars, no Pong Krell, no Savage and no madalore yet...
It always looked to me like Ahsoka head got cut off whenever the charges exploded, and she cut off Griveous hand with her own saber he was holding.
So in case you missed it Alex, those statues in Grievous’ lair ARE Grievous! He used to be an actual alien creature before he was turned into a cyborg. He was a highly skilled warrior who kept upgrading himself until he became practically became a droid himself. That’s why he coughs a lot, he’s still a living biological being under all those droid parts.
Edit: My bad guys, I misremembered. Grievous was in a ship crash that almost killed him. That’s why he has the cyborg parts.
And yes I’m also aware of the 2D Clone Wars scene with Mace Windu, but considering that show is no longer canon I wasn’t sure if that particular moment was still considered canon or not. Would’ve been awesome if it still was.
Plus Mace Windu messed him up pretty good.
Unless they retconned that recently, Grievous didn't upgrade himself. His shuttle was blown up (by Sidious/Dooku, blamed on the Jedi) and he was turned into a cyborg. The coughing thing was retconned though. When he was introduced his cough came from Mace Windu force crushing his chest (and the organs inside). That was changed later though (sadly).
@@Murkglowthats the canon story so far. I think he stilll was a great warrior but upgrading was never mentioned … the coughing wasnt really explained. Not sure the windu part is canon.
@@tomwiling2978The Windu part totally got retconned. The Force Crush happened during the attack on Coruscant when they took the Chancellor hostage, just before the third movie started. He didn't have the cough before that (his intro made a huge deal about how he was totally silent, even Shaak Ti, a Jedi Master Togruta, couldn't hear him. It was a great scene).
Obviously the 3d Clone Wars takes place before this and he has the cough, so... I just don't know what the new explanation is (if there even is one).
In the BTS of the episode they said they wanted to keep it vague as they wanted either to be true or something
So you've met one of the greatest characters in all of Star Wars: HONDO OHNAKA! 💜 #THISEFFORTISNOLONGER...PROFITABLE!
Hondo is such a sassy little b¡tch ass pirate, that's why we love him ❤
with hondo you can always trust that his loyalty can always be bought. even when he is double crossing you, it isn't personal just more beneficial to him.
And he's voiced by the same guy that voiced Winnie the Pooh, Darkwing Duck, and many others.
Hondo might be a scumbag but he's our scumbag!
“I thought clone wars was a family show”
Cuts to general grivis crushing a clone troopers head and a montage of clones double taping both droids and living beings.
We need a clone wars remaster, or just AI upscaling.
Note about the force: As per what George Lucas said about the Jedi using the force... They're not superheroes. They can't just willy nilly use it whenever, but if they utilize enough concentration (based on their connection/power level), that's when they can do more stuff via the force. It takes a lot of energy to do what we might think is easy, but it's not always that way. Great vid reaction! Keep em coming 👍🏻
Many people think ashoka is too powerful but I always felt it was just right. She was trained by anakin and obi wan as well as basically growing up by fighting in a war.
Also she is not that OP anyway. Id rate her power level by the end of the clone wars to be hight-tier knight - low-tier master, around Rahm Kota or Shak Ti, based on her surviving order 66 like Kota and Shak (depending on the version of her death), initially losing to Maul then just about beating him in round 2, and losing to Grievous but beating both Venterss and Baris. Really her power level is about right for her age, talent, training, and experience. I think those who think she is OP kind of overate her power a bit.
I think by Rebels though you could say she is very powerful and maybe creeping into OP, around high-tier master, able to go toe-toe with Vader for a bit, but I think that's where her characters power should cap out.
@@Roman_Eagle the girl has been through a lot in her life and has trained with some of the best force user's for her time. And let's not forget the daughter still watches over her. Ashoka holding her own against Vader isn't a stretch for me and probably right where she belongs.
@@evandipasquale9255 Fair, but my point was, I think that's where her power should cap out, because if she gets to the point where she can defeat the likes of Vader then she throws off the power scale off too much. So basically I agree.
Also, I do like her skill set developing down the direction of intelligence, espionage, and tracking, during the Empire era, and her spiritual development in the living force.
I see her kind of ending up like a sage Quinlan Vos / Qui-Gon figure but a bit more powerful, like Ben Kenobi, able to beat someone like old Maul, but not Vader.
Wasn’t she also trained by Yoda as a youngling
@@doctorsno906 All Jedi younglings were trained by Yoda. He is one of their first instructors for hundreds of years.
Hondo is a bastard, but everyone kinda loves him. He's fun
It seems like in the Republic military, "sir" is a non gender specific title. But when speaking with people outside the army, the clones use "sir" or "ma'am" depending on the gender. So Anakin and Ahsoka would both be referred to as sir but a Senator or Kaminoan doctor would be referred to as "ma'am" if they are a woman.
Hondo is like the BEST side character in all of Star Wars. He's the greasy, sleezy, slime ball of a friend who's got friends in LOW places. He has an amazing story arc in Clones AND Rebels. He has one of the funniest story arc ever
Well, i can't say i remembered that Jar-Jar was the one who coined the term "Clankers" for the droids, which later spread to the rest of the Clone Army as general slang for the Battle Droids throughout the war. But here we are at 56:22 with a passing remark that has brought so much fanfare.
No, they had used “Clankers” before in other episodes that take place prior to this.
Fun fact, the "fish head" is the same species as Admiral Ackbar of the "It's a Trap!" meme fame. Their species is called Mon Calamari, which is literally just French for "my squid"
Ah yes, the Lair of Griveous, everyone remembers that episode. And then Hondo, one of the best and most unique star wars characters, imo.
Hondo is my FAVORITE STAR WARS CHARACTER and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I love how cunning he is, even if he is a devious scoundrel at times. Hes smart and i appreciate that he’s not always a good or bad guy
I REALLY want live action Hondo in Ahsoka season 2 or Skeleton Crew. He’s such a fun character. And of course have him played by Jim Cummings. I’m still hoping he pops up in Bad Batch season 3.
Oh, we’re meeting Hondo I’m this one! He really is the Jack Sparrow of the Star Wars universe and you just gotta love him
From weakes to strongest
1 normal civilians
2 clones / youngling(force sensitive kids)
3 padawans (stage of jedi path after being trained in academy as a youngling)
4 jedi knight
5 jedi master
6 jedi councile member
7 anakin(but not now)
8 Gods of force
Padawans are Commanders and Jedi Knights are Generals, so Ahsoka is higher than any clone trooper, including Commander Cody, same rank, but because she is a jedi padawan, she outrank any clone
In my book, experience outranks everything.
@@oSileyCT-7212 good lines
Technically, Cody and Ahsoka are in the same rank
What about masters?
Yes, there's an Ahsoka show, but you really need to do REBELS after CLONE WARS. Ahsoka is basically the live action 5th season of Rebels.
George Lucas, creator of star wars, initially made Griveous very menacing and badass, but then he decided to make him a coward for this show. If you wanna see cool Griveous, watch the 2D version of the clone wars.
Hondo Onaka is one of the best and funniest characters in the whole universe, I hope you continue to enjoy him!
I love d bradly bakers voice for the clones they have the same baseline but each sound unique yet similar
Baker is an amazing voice actor. I feel his talents are wasted playing a goldfish on American Dad. But hey, my man's gotta work. Lol
Hondo well be back, don't worry. Him and Cad Bane are hands down two best characters in Clone Wars. Besides Ahsoka, of course.
Maul. 👀
@@PhilippFrese02I meant original characters
@@MegaCityGhost fair point. Theeeen. Idk, Assaj.
@@PhilippFrese02Yeah, she's up there as well for sure.
Rex>
There is a live action Ahsoka show. Which would mean watching Rebels after the Clone Wars
Star Wars, the clone wars started as a family show.
And quickly becomes something more.
I love Hondo Okana that glorious bastard is one of the most fun characters in the show purely based on his personality.
The thing is using the force in the middle of a fight is very difficult because it requires focus and concentration. Besides, they often are using it but in more subtle ways that you can't see such as to make themselves stronger and faster or to give themselves a sense of precondition to predict their enemy better
The way Obi-Wan and Anakin reacted to just the mere fact that R2 was missing is pretty telling to their characters and how they deal with attachments. To Obi, he's JUST a droid, no loss, a new one can be arranged. But Anakin has a love (much like we, the audience) for a droid and would risk his own life to get him back.
Plus, R2 was a wedding gift from Amidala.
@@Easy_Skanking Yeah I always forget about the C3P0 and R2 gift/trade!
He thinks this is dark, wait till he gets to Umbara. (Among a large list of other things in the future)
UM BA RA!
UM BA RA!
UM BA RA!
so hyped for that shit.
One of if not the best arc in the whole series. It rivals some of the best Star Wars content ever, I would say it's that good.
Even the "worst" season (visually) had great episodes, especially with the introduction of the lovable Rogue Hondo Ohnaka himself. The first season was the solid foundation for the rest of the series to build upon and later spin-offs to expand the lore. For the record, I do appreciate Jar-Jar for being a whimsical light in the darkness, and he is an idiot savant.
OK so just going to expand on a few things I said in the live chat:
1. Gungans are actually a very capable species. They have a pretty strong history in terms of art and culture but they're also very capable warriors (you'll see this proven especially in season 4). Heck, we saw back in the Blue Shadow Virus episode that Peppi Bow (who remember, was just a random herder) beat the crap out of Jar Jar, Padme and Dr. Nuvo Vindi. Unfortunately, Gungans often get labeled as screw ups by both certain fans and casuals because of Jar Jar (a single member of their species)! But anyway, enough ranting about that.
2. I agree one thing Clone Wars does really well is allowing us to get to know the clones who are some of the best characters in the show! We've already got good Clone Episodes already like Clone Cadets, The Hidden Enemy and Rookies. In later seasons there are entire arcs dedicated to the Clones which are just peak Clone Wars! But we'll get to those when we get to them.
3. As for Hondo's relationship with the Jedi/Republic, all I'll say is don't get used to him being on any one side...
It’s really cool revisiting the music of these early episodes especially after hearing Kiner’s latest work in AHSOKA. What a great progression from experimental (no doubt encouraged by George Lucas) to neo-romantic in the style of the original scores by John Williams!
I've watched the Clone Wars all the way through several times, yet I think I've found my new favorite way to watch them... And any other Star Wars content! This is the most FUN I've had watching Star Wars since I saw the original in 77.
I couldn't agree more!
The reason rex called her sir is not just because she out ranks him, yes she does, but it’s because Lucas film decided that female Jedi would still be considered as sir, that’s why Alex was confused btw at least how I understood it
yes, the Ahsoka show is Great a 9 out of 10.. but you're nowhere near ready to watch it.. after you're done with the clone wars, watch tales of the Jedi, then you have to watch Star Wars rebels, and all the other Mandalorian shows, then you'll be caught up to watch it
Hondo is not a villain, he's a smuggler space pirate and the leader of the space pirates He's brilliant, funny, charming and yet a slime ball lol. He is on his own side though.
Ahsoka's underhanded lightsaber stance always makes me think of Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman. Not a bad character to be associated with.
Just in case Alex or anyone else doesn’t know, Hondo (the main pirate and future favorite character) is voiced by Winnie the Pooh (Jim Cummings).
Jar Jar is the living embodiment of fail your way to success 😂. Also that is the smartest clone commander ever get Jar Jar onto the tanks and he will most likely do something to screw over the pirates and sure enough he does 😂
one thing you need to know about this show is that it does NOT have a happy ending. it progressively gets darker as the seasons go on which is what makes it so good.
Is that not technically a spoiler?
With how much you love these droids, you’re gonna have a field day with Chopper once you get to watching Rebels lmao
That's a war criminal droid with no mercy. That's the most fun Droid in all Star Wars.
What I really like about Jar Jar in the show is that he's very much connected to nature. It gives him such a different skill set. He ends up as this chaotic neutral wild mage. And I think that's such a cool direction to take the character. Different than the movies yes, but still cool.
There are two reasons why you didn't see the Jedi use the Force often:
1) It requires concentration, so anytime they move around it's harder to concentrate.
2) The Jedi and Sith access the Force in fundamentally different ways. The Jedi surrender to the Force and allow themselves to be conduits, which means that unless you're Yoda and you are really practiced at this, it's hard AF. The Sith take control of the Force and bend it to their will, which is why they can more easily cast Force abilities on the fly. This is why Yoda says that the Dark Side is the quick and easy path, because you get access to the abilities upfront instead of having to work for it.
The Force is supposed to be a friend, that can offer it's help occasionally. not something you depend on to do everything for you.
This, but also: a lot of the ways the Jedi use the Force are subtle or even invisible - things like split-second precognition, faster reflexes, heightened strength and speed, and their proficiency with their lightsabers are all different ways of using the Force.
@@N0-1_H3r3 From the books, all of those are products of surrendering to the Force. Many times the Jedi is not consciously aware of their action afterwards when they are in deep communion with it. Rebels showed something like this during a Force vision.
Alex love that your doing the Star Wars thing the right way. It's ganna pay off when you start watching all the live series. Gods speed!
This series made Order 66 feel much sadder by giving the clones their individuality and own personalities.
Yes you can have life size Astromech Droids... they will cost you from 20k to 50k. Avoid the Disney one tho. You can get a better droid made by the Astromech builders club.
20k to 50k ? 😂😂😂😂😂 you are GREATLY over exaggerating my boy.
@@CaptainRockoBD The Disney one costs 25k and the Astromech Builders club sells them ranging from 30k to 50k and you can easily check that if you know how to use Google as good as you make yourself look like a clown.
And we're talking about functioning robots not stupid statues.
Hondo is just a pirate scoundrel. Its all just business to him. His only loyalty is to himself...and the highest bidder at that particular moment. But he does hold a soft spot in his heart for children.
Can somebody inform Alex that even when Jedi simply appear to be fighting hand to hand or with lightsabers.. they are in fact using the force?! Jedi augment their body movements, reactions, and strength with the force. That is what makes duelists like Anakin, Yoda, and Palpetine so dangerous. They are exceptional at supplementing their martial arts with force movements.
If you like Hondo, wait until you meet Cad Bane...
The Jedi Binx episode was great, it shows the hint that he really was secretly a Sith the whole time. Masterfully makes things go well by "being clumsy and accidently" going in a helpful direction.
After ep 2 Skywalker was made a general but not a Master so he and others each have a battlecruiser with their own troops his is Rex and Obi-Wan is Cody.
Hondo is a great recurring character.
Easter egg in last EP you watched from Raiders of the Lost Ark, the senator that died and Jar Jar buried him and put his staff in the pile of rocks if you look again it's the Staff of Ra Indy used in the map room to find the Ark.
And over time, watch how Anakin's Padawan Ahoska and Dooku's apprentice Asaji have separate but interestingly parallel arcs.
Also you'll see already this show gives you not just WAY more in-depth and personal view of the clones but the Jedi Masters only shown briefly in EP 2 and 3 so you'll feel Order 66 much different. Like the episode with Kit Fisto (green dreadlocks guy) is with Mace Windu taking on Palestine/Darth Sidious/Emperor at the end of 3 and it's killed in that sequence.
I also felt the ep with Jar Jar pretending to be a Jedi (that was Anakin's robe left behind on Padme's ship by the way as in he sloppily forgot to bring it home after they had hooked up at some point), was like South Park killing Kenny because Jar Jar keeps appearing to die every 5 seconds and was likely poking fun at fans who wished he was dead but they redeem him over show. In one of the novels set after ep 6 ROTJ there's a quick reference to what happened to him eventually after ep 3 and while he's still alive years later it's a sad ending to his story
Hondo, the best space pirate in Star Wars! We need a live action of him. Also Dooku looks rich cause of his calm composure and he walks like royalty as he is royalty.
They are actually constantly using the force. How do you think they can block all that blaster fire and perform their superhuman feats? Just because they're not pushing or pulling something with the force in a very obvious way, doesn't mean they're not using it. It's just more subtle most of the time. But they couldn't do most of the things they do in battle without the force, even if sometimes it's not immediately apparent that the force was used.
The Asohka series is pretty good. But you need to watch at least the essential episodes from Rebels first.
Hondo Ohnaka is one of my favourite Clone Wars characters. He's so hilariously iconic 😂
Fun fact: these two episodes about R2 missing were the first two episodes produced. That's why CGI is slightly worse than in other episodes.
Goddam if Asajj Ventress is not the best villain ever to be animated🎉
One other fun thing to note, Anakin makes a crack that he thought Grievous would be taller in person in episode 3 meaning that's the first time they actually met. So Anakin and Grievous are never actually in the same room at the same time for the entire show.
Grievous may be a trailertrash chainsmoker, but he also used to be an incredibly powerful warlord who was very respected by his people (before he was mostly metal), and he actually had a few dozen kids.
Also, yes. Hondo has a... weird kind of respect for the Jedi. Obi-Wan specifically. He's a very interesting character.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe Star Wars has it's own canon zombies arc known as the Death Troopers. It's a book/horror comic if I'm not mistaken. From what I've heard, it takes place between Episode 3 and 4, and Han Solo and Chewbacca get captured and imprisoned, only for an Imperial experiment to go wrong.
Grevious only looks weak because he’s always going against people with plot armor in the lore he’s one of the scariest characters in the lore
Jeez season 1 is rough. IT GETS SO MUCH BETTER ALEX
two things you gotta keep in mind about the Force. Jedi belive in exercising restraint with the Force, use it when necessary and no more, because over-use of that power makes them more susceptible to the dark side, and less open to the will of the Force. Sith will use the Force much more liberally, because they revel in the power but jedi will usually practice restraint and use it at more precise moments. and two, the Force does require concentration, which means constant use in battle could exhaust a jedi more quickly, especially the more average one.
BTW. If you want to see general grievous being a true monster, The other Clone wars series is where they pulled out some of the CRAZY stuff with him. Dude was unstoppable.
One of the funniest quotes: At least you are a master at getting caught XD
- Obi-Wan
I agree!
I think movie Jar Jar is 1000x more bearable than clone wars jar jar
The Jedi are using the force by enhancing their bodies to make them faster with the blade and predict where the enemy will strike. And most force wielding enemies create a force field around around themselves to withstand other force users force attacks.
Interesting fact, the clone in green - Commander Gree - is the one Yoda beheads in Order 66.
I always look forward to your "Clone Wars" reactions every other week. 😊
And you've now been introduced to one of the best characters in the series, and in all of "Star Wars": Hondo Ohnaka!
Looking forward to the next set of episodes in a couple of weeks. And looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
Think of being shot at by blasters firing plasma bolts at the speed of light. Their concentration isn't on using the force because most of the time, it's saving their ass 1 split second at a time. With everything they do, they can't just use the force at will. Yoda shows that in his episode vs ventruss
Whether he's an antagonist or an ally, we always love Hondo.
using the force requires almost all your concentration, and leaves u pretty defenseless if ur using it for more than a second. Most of the time when jedi use the force for something big they have to retract their sabers and close their eyes.
You're going to be mind blown as the animation improves season by season!
In the lair of griveous episode when he finds out that goor is dead might be the first time we see him getting emotional because he is grievous pet.
Fun fact: Jar Jar's mistakes and luck is the reason that people believe in the Darth Jar Jar theory, that he acts dumb but uses the force to do all of the things that saves his life.
General Grievous is the biggest victim of the Saturday morning cartoon villain syndrome in this show.
In the 2D clone wars show you can see what he was before he was turning into Saturday morning cartoon villain, which is fun/funny but it would be nice see him be more competent then a cannoli.
General Grievous is here is a Saturday morning cartoon villain because that's accurate to have George Lucas saw him. Revenge Of the Sith has Windu describing him as a coward who always runs and hides. The badass Grievous from the 2d Clone Wars was Tartakovsky's vision based purely on the design of the character when Lucas didn't have any idea on the character yet.
36:42 - If you want to see where Grievous got introduced watch the animated (not 3d) Clone Wars series. It was crazy. 3d Clone wars (and other media) had to tone him down seriously or he would have won the war for the Separatists single handedly... And that's not a joke or a meta thing, Sidious and Dooku literally sabotaged Grievous (intentionally messed up his mind and body) to weaken him so the Clone Wars would last longer.
..."I Know There is a Devil, There is NO Doubt! But is he Trying to get in me, or Trying to get out?...
Asoka as a padawan has the military rank of Commander. A full jedi is a General. As a Captain Rex has to salute a Commander like Asoka.
Dont worry, everyone kinda likes Hondo, then the next time they see him he makes them kinda hate him, then like him again in a never-ending cycle
I can’t believe after all these years I’ve just now realized that’s 100% Anakin’s robe he forgot on the ship at some point
In one of the Star Wars comics, Jar-Jar, as an adult, gets himself and his parents stranded on a dangerous island. His father, George (his dad's ACTUAL NAME) seeing no hope of rescue, goes off on his own and contemplates suicide, his wife tries to dissuade him by saying “What about Jar-Jar?” and his immediate reaction is to try shooting himself in the head with a blaster... only to find out it's broken and doesn't work.
I wish we'd see more of Kit Fisto. Yet this isnt the only Episode hes in, there just isn't enough action of him. He's been one of my favorite characters forever and I hate how he instantly got killed off by Sidious n RoTS. I also think his power is underrated, since he's smart, calm, skilled as a fighter, as we saw he handled Grievous pretty easily, and just overall a sympathetic persona, who's default expression is smiling.
The statue of the dude holding thr head? Yeah, that was Grievous before all the cybernetic augmentations. He was a Kaleesh warrior but always craved the power of the jedi. Ironically the removal of his flesh weakened whatever connection he had to the force to begin with
Also force sense is what tells the user hey your in trouble like spidermans spidey sense but the thing is it isnt on the on mode all the time it comes on when its most needed
To answer your Jar Jar question, yeah he's like the village fool of the Gungans. The rest, like Boss Nass and Captain Tarpals and the others, they're not as dumb or clumsy as Jar Jar.
"it is a child's show"... *crunches on popcorn* This series is gonna be fun
If you see a drop in quality of the episode. It probably means George Lucas didn't personally fund the episode. Remember this was before Disney. And episodes that George thought were very important and needed extra funding he would dip into his own wallet to help with that.
