This animation was in the oven for three and a half years. That's what happens when a creator is allowed to cook without time constraints. Every year on May 4th we would get a teaser and they all looked incredible. The very first teaser was in 2020 and it looked sub par in comparison to this. That's how far it has come. They even took the liberties of doing that opening scene from the unfinished crystal crisis arc and the end of episode 3. They went above and beyond to create something truly special
What I really like about this animation is that it's not just trying to replicate the footage from the Mustafar duel seen in ROTS. It actually fills in the gaps of what happens whenever the movie cuts away from Mustafar and shows Yoda and Sidious' duel. I also appreciate that the animators took a bit of artistic licence when they actually did adapt scenes from the movie. Varrying how certain shots are made and also changing up the choreography at parts. For example, the shot at 7:13 does not exist in the movie and is most likely a reference to the iconic ROTS poster which shows Anakin and Obi Wan crossing blades during their duel.
Fun fact: All voice lines you hear in this animation are actually voiced by James Arnold Taylor & Matt Lanter. Plus a couple of lines by Ewan McGregor from the movie, like the "You were the Chosen One" speech for example. The video's creators took voice lines from Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, in which Matt Lanter and James Arnold Taylor voice Anakin and Obi Wan, just like in Star Wars TCW. The little scene at the start was from an already fully voiced but otherwise unfinished episode of TCW.
1:40-2:32 This scene is from an episode of the unfinished TCW arc, "Crystal Crisis on Utapau". 4:24-4:29 This part is from behind-the-scenes footage of the Anakin Skywalker vs Count Dooku duel in ROTS. 4:39-4:51 This exchange along with most of the dialogue in this fan film comes from _LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga_ , which had Matt Lanter and James Arnold Taylor reprise their roles as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi respectively. Without a doubt, this is my #1 favorite Star Wars fan film. The Obi-Wan vs Anakin duel on Mustafar from ROTS is my #1 favorite lightsaber duel in the entire franchise, so seeing it in TCW animation was a dream come true.
Right as the vader mask closes.... you can hear Anakin "padme.... help me" But yeah... seeing this in clone wars style hit HARD... more so than the live action. Also as vader walks on the star destroyer... notice the crewman in the pits.... are all clones! Those guys did an AMAZING job.. amazing. even Matt Lanter (Clone Wars Anakin) commented on it on twitter.
The start is from an unfinished scene from the CW. Its great they not only adapted the duel into CW style animation but slightly tweaked it as well. If interested for more fan films I'd recommend Wingman by Michaels basement
Btw, they didn’t superimpose over the live action characters, they fully recreated they scene. If you watch the side by side that someone did you can see the timing is totally different and some move sets are longer because they didn’t have to cut back and forth like in RotS.
1:56 This beginning scene here is part of the cancelled Clone Wars Utapau arc, which is one out of 10 total arcs which Disney sadly cancelled when they decided to cancel the clone wars show after taking over star wars in 2013. You can still watch the full unfinished Utapau arc, alongside some of the other 9 unfinished arcs in their unfinished form on YT I think. These are the actual clone wars voice actors doing the voice over here since the voice overs were finished before the story arcs were cancelled. It's cool the scene was brought back for this fan-film.
Happy New year Gaxelle! As always I would like to suggest a few things: How The Great Mafia War killed Thousands and How The Roman Army turned men into Warriors by The Infographics Show's Channel, Justice for the Stormtroopers by Stupendous Wave's Channel, that Tarkin video detailing his complete Canonical Life story by The MetaNerdz Channel and that fan-made series from the STORMTROOPERS Channel episodes One and Two: The Raid and Ambush respectibly. As well as my movie suggestion: Tintin and the secret of the Unicorn produced by Stephen Spielberg. It's really good. I also have a hillarious Comedy clip called Sir Humphrey Appleby on the proper function of government by the channel BBC Commedy Greats.
omg this is so awesome! I really want to watch a new Clone Wars season now - I miss it much. This dude and his team need to get hired. Let them work on the last bad batch season or whatever - it will be epic
Obi-Wan wasn't running away per se. He was falling back to give himself the greatest advantage in the battlefield of his own choosing. His Waterloo if you will.
Cannot wait for Andor and the Bad Batch to release! I was kind of hoping to hear Gax's singing again, to be honest! She's really good! She could make a good career!
Great reaction xelle, The part where anakin drops his lightsaber and then catches it is actually a from a deleted fight sequence from attack of the clones where hes fighting dooku.
This animation really conveys how much pain Kenobis been through, his face just breaks my heart and I feel for him the most in the Star Wars story, even though Skywalker had the most physical pain, Kenobi had the most traumatic pain throughout his life, so much loss…
I wonder if Gaxelle will continue that Thrawn audio comic series she never finished. A second series of comics recently just begun regarding the second novel in the trilogy: "Thrawn: Alliances". She could check it out!
Who's exited for the Bad Batch Season 3!? I sure am! I also cannot wait for Andor Season 2 as well! In my opinion the work that Doctor Hemlock is working on will inevitably lead to what we see with Doctor Pershing. Those Commandos we see escorting Hemlock are, according to a Wookieepedia article, Imperial Royal Clone Commandos! This implies that they're an élite variant of the Clone Commando program specially selected for the Emperor's more...personal projects. Not enough to send in his Imperial Royal Gaurds, Purge Troopers or even his élite Shock Troopers, but too important as to entrust the newly created Stormtrooper corps as of yet too inexperianced and untrustworthy to warrent access to the project. Though as we saw in Season 2 the TK's have begun to be deployed for escort missions and guard duty at Hemlock's facilities, thus suggesting a changing of the guard.
Anakin has a point though... Palpatine warned him the Council wanted to control the Senate, and Mace said they'd have to control the Senate after removing Palpatine. Mace went from going to talk with Palaptine, to Anakin walking in on him about to angrily kill Palpatine. Instead of defending himself when Palpatine accused him of a hostile takeover, Mace declared himself the victor.
Wait, you haven't watched S7 of TCW? It was sad seeing that deleted scene from the one deleted Clone Wars arc that I forget the name of, which obviously takes place after Ahsoka left the Jedi. All this animation was done from scratch. As far as I'm aware, no overlaying was done. The midair lightsaber hand swap is adapted from the deleted version of the Anakin vs Dooku fight in RotS. You can also hear Anakin say "Padme help me" way more clearly in this.
I realized how Einstein succeeded. He succeeded, because he read the Bible. By the way, I plan to study all other religions. POLYTHEISM AND OMNISM!!! Polytheism means to believe in many Gods and Goddesses. Omnism is the belief in all religions and knowing that no religion is the absolute truth, but every religion contains truth. Monotheism means to believe in only one God. Deism is the belief that there is a God, without submitting to a particular religion. I recommend that you start with Christianity. Read to be saved, to learn to be good and to become more and more successful!

Omg that's why it looked familiar. I had a feeling it was from crystal arc
@@xelleplaysYup. I believe someone else reanimated that scene with the battlefront 2 models if I remember correctly

"THEN YOU ARE LOST" hits me everytime.

What I really love about this fan animation is that they adapted the deleted Clone Wars episode of Anakin and ObiWan's conversation on Utapau.
The first part of the episode where there's the fire is from an unfinished episode of the. Clonewars. At least the audio is
“You were my brother Anakin, I loved you” (let the tears flow through you.) Love your reaction fam!
That was insane! Has to be one of the best animated Star Wars fan films I've seen so far. Great to see you reacting to it. Have a good day, Xelle!
As someone who grew up with the Clone Wars, I absolutely love this animation
Best animated video of star wars battle with the deleted scenes 10/10 Save me Padma 13:30
when star wars is not made by disney, good things like this one happens
If only fans weren’t mean when prequels were made..
Ahhh Holiday Special? Still by far the worst Star Wars thing I've seen
All I can say is...OMG!!! That blew me away.
The best fan made video ever, I'm so happy they made this✨🫶
The animation is amazing. Especially for a fan film
You can hear as the mask is attached anakin saying padmè help me
Happy New Year Gaxelle!! You're my one of 2 reactors I ever started watching. I'm glad you're doing well.
Happy new year!
I see you reacted to the hands looking too real the same way I did. But, unlike me, you resisted the urge to go back and check again.
Happy New year Gaxelle! As always I would like to suggest a few things: How The Great Mafia War killed Thousands and How The Roman Army turned men into Warriors by The Infographics Show's Channel, Justice for the Stormtroopers by Stupendous Wave's Channel, that Tarkin video detailing his complete Canonical Life story by The MetaNerdz Channel and that fan-made series from the STORMTROOPERS Channel episodes One and Two: The Raid and Ambush respectibly.

Thanks for the like! Please let Gaxelle know about my suggestions, alright? Thanks!
16:20 - background wasn't from the movie - it's all recreated.
omg this is so awesome! I really want to watch a new Clone Wars season now - I miss it much.
This dude and his team need to get hired. Let them work on the last bad batch season or whatever - it will be epic
Great reaction Xelle❤
Awesome reaction of my favorite Star Wars!!!!😊😊😊😊
It wasn’t just superimposed - they redid the whole thing from the group up. It took them four years.
Obi-Wan wasn't running away per se. He was falling back to give himself the greatest advantage in the battlefield of his own choosing. His Waterloo if you will.
Cannot wait for Andor and the Bad Batch to release! I was kind of hoping to hear Gax's singing again, to be honest! She's really good! She could make a good career!
Some complain about the voicing but I just saw through it and enjoyed this long dedication that was put into it 🙏❤️
Great reaction xelle,
The part where anakin drops his lightsaber and then catches it is actually a from a deleted fight sequence from attack of the clones where hes fighting dooku.

Seriously. Seeing things like this just remind you of all the trauma he faced, especially this moment in such quick succession. Ugh my heart
I wonder if Gaxelle will continue that Thrawn audio comic series she never finished. A second series of comics recently just begun regarding the second novel in the trilogy: "Thrawn: Alliances".
She could check it out!
This messed me up seeing this in CW animation. It just hits hard.
Well well well...
Who's exited for the Bad Batch Season 3!? I sure am! I also cannot wait for Andor Season 2 as well!

Loving your content! I was wondering if you have watched the Indiana Jones series? If not, you should totally do reactions to those flicks😁
Anakin has a point though...
Palpatine warned him the Council wanted to control the Senate, and Mace said they'd have to control the Senate after removing Palpatine. Mace went from going to talk with Palaptine, to Anakin walking in on him about to angrily kill Palpatine.
Instead of defending himself when Palpatine accused him of a hostile takeover, Mace declared himself the victor.
In this fight is knightfall Vader vs obi wan
Love u so much
Wait, you haven't watched S7 of TCW?

You should do a reaction to the fan movie, Wingman.
It’s an X-Wing adventure. Really good.
No one can survive lava
Hey, love your reactions. Do you plan to continue the cobra Kai reactions ❤️🙌🏽
❤
Cool
She hasn't watched the latest season of clone wars🤔 could've swore she did
I did I'm just rusty memory lol
@@Gaxelle goofy gal
Star wars season 6 clone wars season 6.
Idk why, but you always look angry and unenthused 😂
That's my concentration face lol

great Reaction. But sadly, Star Wars isn't in a good shape. Special thanks to Kathleen Kennedy! 😪
Glad to see you're still doing SW content. We should have these guys do the next SW movie instead of a femi-nazi which Disney wants
