Umbara is straight up Vietnam. This arc gives a glimpse at how horrifying some of the battles were in the Clone Wars
how did you comment 3 weeks ago?!
@@dragerdet Patreon
I was getting more of an Afghanistan vibe with the battlefield looking desolate and barren.
Nah, Vietnam is Felucia
"Anakin actually does kinda care about them"
No, he fully cares for them. Anakin understands what it feels like to be ordered around by masters despite being an individual.
Anakin does indeed understand being ordered around (so does litterally anyone else because it’s not unique to Anakin) but him being ordered by the council isn’t the same as the clones being bred to follow orders. Anakin doesn’t have to be a Jedi, he can choose to leave freely if he so wanted to do so. The clones however cannot choose and are conditioned to not want to leave. It’s not the same.
I think the misconception is because he always takes the risky strategies instead of safe ones. So like the costly strategies, casualty wise. But what makes it worth it is because he is ALWAYS in the front. He wouldn't make the 501st do what he wouldn't.
@@MM-vs2et And because said risky plans put himself in danger instead of the Clones.
@@AbsurdFalcon I think (could be wrong) they were mostly referring to the fact that he was a literal slave for the first decade of his life lol, not his relationship with the council.
@@AbsurdFalconhe’s on about him being a slave for the start of his life
So the Umbarans actually can breathe in their own atmosphere, they actually just have basically space meth in their helmets to make them better soldiers
More parallels to WW1. The show is cool like that
Fucking space meth🤣
Wow! Like the Kamakazi…great tidbit!
I was about to say, how come your opposition can breathe on your planet BUT YOU CAN’T?
The space germans in ww2
ok but like THIS IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS...and by that i mean you've finally reached the best parts of clone wars...enjoy!
Umbara...one of the most unique design for a planet in Star Wars...just a mysterious vibe all around, even around the enemy ! Perfect location for that arc, top 5 best in all of Clone Wars !!
Cool fun fact about this battle, in a previous episode where Padme’s Rodian senator friend was assassinated, another senator was assassinated, who happened to be an Umbaran senator.
This led to Umbara to secede from the Republic and join the Separatists.
I seriously jumped on the Patron for this arc specifically.
Same lol
Same I was like uuugh nomad droids and I checked today and was like bet
It’s this, Nightsisters, and something that comes later
Same but I couldn’t find it
mbfn
The Vietnam of Star Wars as fan call it. One of the 10 Greatest stories in Star Wars history. So many love this arc.
The entire invasion was D day
@@wastelandlegocheemid say d day was more like christophisis ( but deadlier) or geonosis but modified
@@ARCtrooper_bliz02 i mean its more like 'nam except it succeeded.
Kinda.
Not really
I still get worked up when waxer dies
So the Umbarans actually can breathe in their own atmosphere. The gas they breathe is supposed to be a stimulant. The creators were presented with the challenge of creating a non-droid enemy that still looked the same.
I was waiting for them to react to these episodes, especially during the "Citadel" arc where they were going on about how the Jedi like Obi-Wan didn't care about the clones!
I mean I wouldn’t say Obiwan didn’t care about the clones. Even individuals like Mace in TCW has gone out of his way to save individual clones when they are in direct danger. Obiwan doesn’t have as good a relationship with his men like Anakin or Plo Koon but he was really good friends with Cody and cared about the other members 212th.
12:00 'rex' is cold af - the ARC trooper with the horizontal crescent above the visor is fives (same design as in the citadel rescue).
rex has a lot of blue markings and other notches on his helmet, it's nowhere near as "clean" as fives, and you've seen it many times.
while we're at it, here's some ways to recognise and distinguish the 501st members (not that it'll ever happen):
rex - pauldron on one shoulder. inverted V above each eye. tally marks all over. short blond hair.
fives - ARC gear. single stripe over the top of the helmet, horizontal crescent above the visor. flat top medium length black hair.
hardcase - chaingun (Z-6 rotary cannon). 3 stripes over the top of the helmet, 3 stripes under each eye. blue line on his face, no hair.
jesse - republic "cog" emblem on the helmet, and the same on his face.
kix - medic backpack, red medic logo on the shoulder, single stripe over the top of the helmet. aurebesh tattoo on the left of his head.
and here are the clones that you haven't met before now in the clone wars (you might have seen appo elsewhere):
tup - no stripe on the top of the helmet, single teardrop under one eye on the helmet and face. long black hair with a man bun.
dogma - large chevron (V shape) over the whole helmet face. short black hair, V shaped tattoo slightly left of central on his face.
appo - 2 stripes over top of helmet joining to 1 stripe at the front, with a negative space downward pointing arrow above the visor.
and hopefully you'll be able to recognise the new detail on the familiar 212th clone's helmet when we get there.
Anytime someone starts watching Clone Wars this is the Arc I anticipate the most. I feel like this Arc truly made me realize how much I loved and care for the Clones.
In an earlier episode "Senate Murders," Senator Deechi of Umbara is murdered
And they were sepretist symphathisers all along... what a surprise
who murdered him?
@@theawesomeman9821 the rodian assistant
@@mathies3598 thanks
@@mathies3598Their senator got murderes and the Republic did nothing to protect them afterwards
Say what you will about the Separatists but in comparison they are the good guys
"Anakin actually does kinda care about them" No, he just cares about them. So do many other Jedi generals including Obi Wan, Yoda, Plo Koon, Mace Windu, etc. The majority of the Jedi leadership care about their clones
reverse actually, anakin, yoda, obi wan, plo kkoon and ahsoka activly care, mace windu and most jedi are indifferent, aiming to avoid casualties but more for the sake of the war and not because they care, then you have jedi like krell who will throw clones into a suicide mission just to slightly improve the odds overall
@@Fatalbeast22 yeah mace was probably not the best example lol but he does treat them like humans
@@edwardboiling4111 yes, but mace doesn't give a fuck about people, he cares about the jedi code and winning, that's why he was so shitty to anakin
@@Fatalbeast22 WRONG! He was shitty to Anakin because Anakin was IMPATIENT. And he was right! Anakin was impatient, spiteful and selfish, which led to him becoming Darth Vader
@@Fatalbeast22 Saying this while Mace literally went out of his way to save individual clones who trully didn't matter in the overall war, this hurts my soul.
13:40 moments like these on your first watch truly paint anakin in a new light, and kind of hurts you on how he went down as vader.
Ah yes! One of the 5 great arcs of Clone Wars! My second favorite after the finale s7 arc. Theres also the s5 finale boom run arc, the s6 nachos arc, and then the mid s5 mole mole arc. Can't wait!
Mole mole is my favorite
It took me too long to decode nachos arc
@@bakagakure6435 Damn it, I just got it and it took me even longer because we call them crisps
@@maramackenzie-mann thank you! Without this I wouldn't have gotten it.
My favorite Arc in the clone wars besides the final arc LETS GOOOO
Personally my favorite is still the trial arc.
But this is definitely in my top 5
All was quiet until you heard the trees started speaking Umbaran
"Umbarans don't surf!" - General Krell, Apocalypse Long Time Ago
“Not clones, men!”
Gets me every time
If the Second Battle of Geonosis was the D-Day of the Clone Wars, then the Battle of Umbara was the Vietnam of the Clone Wars. The Umbarans seceded from the Republic after the Senator of Umbara was assassinated by a representative from Rodia.
Give Krell some credit - he remembers the clones birth numbers and doesn't mix up clones, even if his command style is the exact opposite of General Skywalker.
12:04 That was Fives, not Rex.
19:48 The Senator from Umbara was actually killed in a previous episode you've seen. That is part of the reason why they became disillusioned with the Republic and joined the Separatists. And that's why the Republic is invading Umbara.
First appearance of Phase Two Clone helmets and armor for the 501st. Captain Rex wears a unique version, he is still wearing his Phase One helmet, with the new Phase Two chin piece welded onto it. The weld-marks are visible in close-ups.
The most infuriating part is the fact that he doesn't even fight on the frontlines. Anakin would be out there killing enemies and this guy with the double doublebladed lightsabers is like "nah. Too lazy"
Micky: This is some Band of Brothers shit
Me: You have NOOOOOOOOOOOO idea how right you are.
I've been waiting a LONG time for them to see this arc. It is quite possibly the best arc of the entire series.
During the 'newsreel' sequence that opens the show, Ahsoka Tana and Barriss Offee are briefly seen taking part in the space battle, piloting Jedi Starfighters.
We've seen the Jedi and Republic fight beings other than droids when they fought the Geonosians, also the helmets the Umbaraians wear are filled with some kind of berserker narcotic for combat. it's really just a way for the show runners to get away with using the same design for all the soldiers since with having to create a whole new planet environment, new ships, vehicles, weapons, animals, and Jedi design while also having one huge battle after another, they were pushed to the limit.
I just randomly got this group on my feed. Since clone wars is my fav series, and i love reactions. I've been binge watching these guys from Episode 1. Love your reactions to this series, and it looks like im half way through on this playlist cant wait to see what you guys do in the future if you do more star wars stuff.
Viewer: *_"What is going on? Why is this happening?"_*
General Krell: *_"I'm afraid a request was made by the Supreme Chancellor."_*
Viewer: *_"Ah... of course, that explains it."_*
This is quite literally my favorite arc. I can’t wait to see their reactions for the next couple episodes.
heres the thing, Krell doesnt care if clones die, to him they are tools to win a war, and sacrificing a few dozen to increase a plans chance of success is somthing he would do in a heartbeat, theyve already made it clear that so far in the war he has succeeded on many missions,they never said how many clones survive those succesdsful missions
Bruh that wasn’t Rex that cracked the Umbarans helmet and shot him, it was Fives. Fives has armor similar to Rex now because he’s an ARC trooper
I know this Arc made the 501st appreciate Anakin and his crazy tactics a lot more lol
You guys have finally reached my favorite arc in all of Clone Wars. Umbara is like the Star Wars version of Vietnam, with minimal involvement from Anakin and Obi and a greater focus on the clones and their individualism and their thoughts to flesh them out much better
Fives's new helmet has an image of an Rishi Eel, the same creature that attacked his squad in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Rookies
Fives may very well be the most important person in the entire Star Wars universe.
eh important clone maybe but id still give that to rex, but just person? no way is he more important than yoda, sidius, anakin, obi wan, luke or ahsoka
Lmao nah Rey is.
There are tons of examples of jedi being just completely ineffective generals in comics and other media, like they were solo knights that were just plopped in positions of authority over huge numbers of troops with no officer training.
Also the geonosians are organics they fought before this
20:21 Point rain was another invasion attack just like this one. The Republic invaded geonosis
1:36 it's brown and black, like in the movies
that was the lighting...
earlier in the clone wars it was dark red and dark blue but that changed with the new look
Krell species is the same as the guy in the restaurant in EP.2
Lol the beginning of this arc always reminds me of those leaders in the military who got promoted because they test well but have no experience. One of our chiefs was like that. He was constantly suggesting things that could get us hurt or in trouble because it was what the book said was right, meanwhile us who had experience were constantly fighting with him. Aaaah the good ol days
YES, the Umbara Arc. A beloved series of episodes in the show, and for good reason.
Pong Krell is like a WW1 Veteran General commanding a group of veteran WW2 soldiers in one of the space Vietnams.
Man they mentioned order 66 a lot can't wait for that reveal 🔥🔥
The 2020 anthology book "Star Wars The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark" features a story based on all four parts of the Umbara arc that is told from Rex's point of view. It is written by Yoon Ha Lee and titled "The Shadow of Umbara". The audio-book version is read by Clone Wars voice actor James Arnold Taylor.
why did the Republic invade Umbara? Was it just nation-building?
This arc is my all time favorite for the clones!!
I don't know if it's been explained before, but the reason Fives was so willing to stand up to Krell is cuz of his status as an ARC trooper. The ARCs were very explicitly much more independent than the average clone; even clones promoted to ARC, like Fives, tended to be a lot more independent than the rest of their squad. we even see that way back in Rookies. Had the entirety of Domino survived to the Citadel mission, I have no doubt that the entire squad would have been made ARCs
Sing it with me now:
SOME FOLKS WERE BORN, MADE TO WAVE THE FLAG
The arc we’ve been waiting on for over a year lol!!🎉
After watching the entire Umbara arc you guys should watch the EckhartsLadder video about the whole arc and how he really goes into the main ideas of how corrupted the republic truly. He also points out all the cracks that republic has and the Jedi order with Pong Krell.
The Republic Gunship that Obi-Wan stands next to has a Narglatch painted on it as nose art. This creature was seen on Orto Plutonia in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Trespass
The Umbara arc is one of the best
what's better?
Ah yes. The mission, the nightmares, they're finally....starting....
This is where the fun begins
Honestly these episodes are some of the BEST in the entire series! so excited for you to get to these!
This is arguably the best arc of the series before season 7
The Clones are some of the greatest warriors in the Galaxy. I was sad to see them fall.
The visuals for this planet look great, also the character models for the faces of the Clones really look Better.
12:04 That was Fives
A fan favourite Arc
This is where shit got *DARK*
Umbara arc begins...
"Welcome in hell, clones"
Umbara is Clone Vietnam. And it is one of the best and darkest Arcs in the entire series !
Finally, I've been waiting for you guys to get to the Umbara arc! It's one of the best in the series.
Me too!
This umbaran campaign actually ties into when senator deechi that was found stabbed in his office was killed, he represented the planet umbara. But after his death they decided to leave the republic. So because of that rodean killing him it lead to this brutal campaign. It’s interesting how it connect even seasons apart.
well this series was planned out in advance by Dave Filoni
Before ppl get mad. Just wanted to say it’s completely okay if y’all confuse clone names like Fives and Rex. It’s very uncommon for people not to make this sorta mistake during the first watch. I’m sure by the end of this arc y’all will know every clone by name ;D
On my first watch through I never paid attention to the clone names and just assumed a different clone was used each time. It's this arc that got me to remember specific clones
So in the military there are leaders like krell who have no tactical knowledge or do and just want that medal or commendation.
Knowing from experience
14:58
what do you mean no?
he literally has record records in the battlefield
they said in the beginning of the episode that he was known for success in the battlefield
Oh yes finally one of my favorite stories of the series. As a great man once said “this is where the fun begins”
The reason why they are here is because in the arc of the senate murders, the senator of Umbara was killed and the planet became angry with the republic. Diplomacy wasn’t an option for them
Most underrated part of the video was Marketa staring the AoT theme just for a second
The Umbara arc is actually what kept me watching Clone Wars. Shit got real.
That was fives that shot the dude in the face
You’ve begun the best arc in the show in my opinion
Welcome to one of the reasons that people love this show. The Vietnam of Star Wars.
Honestly, you could take this arc out and not miss too much story wise. But, it's one of the most important arcs in all of Star Wars. I don't like how comically over the top the general is when it comes for his disdain for clones, but I think it's less racism and more viewing them as expendable creatures rather than living beings, which lets be honest, that is exactly how the politicians view them, the civilians, and a lot of the jedi. And we've also had commanders who treat their men like this in history; these people are tools to be used to win a war. And especially with what it's building towards, that's important
I also love the fact that the arc is not about racism. The message is all about whether or not these men can trust the person in charge, and your responsibilities as a soldier when you can't rely on your commander. They trust Anakin because even though Anakin does put their lives in danger, he is there with them and will do everything possible to keep them safe. When Rex offers suggestions or advice, Anakin listens and often acts on it. That's what the first half of the episode was for; to show how Anakin leads to be contrasted by how Krell leads. If the general had just sent them into a risky situation, that would have been enough for them to question him. But even before that he is blatant about how much he doesn't respect these men. He expects them to follow his orders without question solely because he's in charge. After all, they were bred for obedience, why should he need to respect them? And we've all had bosses like this; the ones that won't even listen when you ask for help or offer advice and then berate you when things happen exactly like how you predicted.
On a side note, the fact that the Umbarrans have gas helmets on their own planet has caused a lot of speculation over the years. The two I've most commonly heard is that their race naturally lives underground, so they do need protection when they go above the surface. The other one is that the gas isn't for them to breathe but is instead a drug to increase their adrenaline, ferociousness, etc. In other words it's specifically for fighting. I'm sure Filoni probably explained it in the behind the scenes since that's something that they would need to put effort into making, but I've never heard anything official
This is where the "fun" begin
Me: remembers the Umbara Arc, Vietnam war flashbacks intensify
the discussions for this part are going to be so good!!!!
Reminds me of the Gallipoli campaign in WW1, uncaring British commanders sending Australian troops into the grinder with no remorse
12:04 That was Fives not Rex, btw.
Good soldiers follow orders.
Good soldiers follow orders.
Good soldiers follow orders
I've always loved the Umbara arc...brutal and heartbreaking.
This arc is great.
OH NO and OH YES, they've finally arrived at Umbara. This is where the fun begins.
7:54 ‘so, I know Palps didn’t give the order yet and all but you know what? Screw it, why not?’
gotta love the ping Pong arc
The Umbarans wear those suits because they pump a gas into their bodies that helps them fight better
I have been waiting for you guys too get to this point! You guys are going to go crazy.
"For Now"
Me: wait does he know?
I always wondered who would win if Krell Fought General Grievous
It has begun
This is where clone wars kicks it up several gears
One of my fav arks for sure!
Umbaras really got tech that dance around republic
This is one of the best story arcs in Clone Wars, though, to be honest, I feel like its inspiring theme about clones making choices and decisions gets undermined later in the series.
LOVE this arc. Buckle up.
Wish you guys would start doing youtube memberships for people who don't want to use patreon but would gladly become a member
Finally Umbara!!!
We’re in prime Clone Wars now 3-4 months of 7-10 out of 10 eps
How come people aren't reacting to "Prey"? It's the biggest premiere Hulu has ever had, and it's a huge hit on Disney+ outside the USA.
