Mother Talzin is incredibly powerful. I believe Sidious approached her to be his apprentice at one point. Also, there's a book about Ventress you might want to check out if you like her.
I don't believe he approached her to be his apprentice, however he DID consider her a serious rival, one of the only people who could rival his power in the dark side.
@@SirJolbyWanKenobi he approached her to be his apprentice but as soon as he met Maul he sacked her and took Maul instead and this is when Talzin developed a hate on Palpatine
Fortunately, Ventress becomes one of the most interesting characters, because she actually becomes more of a ally and later force of good as time goes on. Unfortunately, the final act of her story didn't get animated, like a lot of final original stories for The Clone Wars series. It got adapted into a very good book, and maybe hopefully, it gets told animated. Also if you love the Nightsisters, they pop up a lot, especially in Jedi Fallen Order, with our best girl!
When you asked if any of the fights are motioned captured. They actually did that for the season 7 finale duel bringing back Ray Park so make the fight amazing
Thank you so much for releasing these I've really been enjoying these videos and love the honest opinions u both share not beating around the Bush and saying things straight. Massive love from the UK.
I'm sure Holden is familiar with the Nightsisters and Dathomir since he played Jedi Fallen order. But I wonder if he recognized the Clone Commandos that also featured in this arc?
Yes yes yes let it begin! I remember watching this arc for the first time as a kid and vividly remember how captivated I was the whole time. It still gets better
It’s always funny how at the beginning of each episode with the text fortune cookie one liners, it’s like each one seems to speak to Holden’s soul, like he’s nodding yes going, “Mmmmhmm, good piece of wisdom there,” while Jen is always like, “I don’t know about that.”
@@joshhunt4146 Well the order to watch it is pretty simple to find out. 1-3, then 4-6. Then watch 7, and after that 8-10 and then the final 2 episodes.
@@freebird6591 That’s fine, but I’m talking about for their recording session. The first three episodes dropped together because the first two are build up
The way Dooku sleeps is a homage to Dracula who was played by Ser Christopher Lee who plays Dooku in the movies it's a reference to both it's pretty cool.
Fun Fact: Mother Talzin and the nightsisters are based on Episode I concept art for what would eventually be Darth Maul. The directive George Lucas gave the art department was: "give me depictions of your worst nightmare, your concept for the most evil individual you can think of". Darth Maul and a image what came to be a nightsister were among the submissions.
Ventress’ whole life is sad. Neither of her “masters” ever asked if she wanted the events that happened in her life. There were great times with bonds she made, and then darker times once those bonds broke and she was left alone.
@@Zack-bl1cw less slavery and more codependency because having someone guide her was all she knew. She needed to be part of something after feeling rejected by her home, the order, and the sith. If anything, she’s a slave to herself which is why the cycle never ended until the next Dathomir Arc.
I LOVED this arc! The Nightsisters were introduced in one of the novels, so this episode connected that novel and the Prequels in a way more bad ass then I would have thought of.
With this episode Holden and Jen are 44.85% through The Clone Wars! These are the Clone Wars Episodes of this Video (Nr. 16): Nr. |S. |Ep. |Episode Name --------------------------------------------------- 59 |3 |12 |Nightsisters 60 |3 |13 |Monster 61 |3 |14 |Witches of the Mist "Day 7" (but really Month 6 lol) of keeping an excel list of all the episodes Holden and Jen have watched and in which videos. since this is only my seventh comment i'm not sure how i would best format this. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I'll also try to get a Read-Only version of the full Excel list online and link it here.
So Ventress is in a good portion of the show, but if you want to see her story unfold completely, read the book Star Wars Dark Disciple. It tells her story and has Quinlin Voss in it. And it's canon!
There is a theory that the entire series from prequels to sequels is told from the vantage point of r2-d2 that is why he does so many heroic actions. Can't wait to see when you get to the ending of clone wars love watching your reactions. Would love to see the dogs react to "look who's talking"
5:55 I don't know if Ventress survive Clone Wars... Yeeeehhhhh....If you want to know what happened next with her character BEFORE the final arc of Clone Wars then you gotta read the novel Dark Disciple. 8 Cancelled Clone Wars Episodes/Arc turned into a book using the scripts for the episodes they never got to finish developing. This arc also invovled Jedi Knight Vos in a big way too. It was THEIR arc and its a bloody shame we never got to see it.
The next two arcs will be fire Like, the mortis arc is one of my favourites because of all the themes explored and all the character development and exploration
I love this arc, one of the best in the show imo. The next one with Maul is also great, but I can't wait for Mortis. That arc is fire, and has some of the coolest scenes in all of star wars if you ask me.
LORD HARDMEN!!!! I have been a fan since "My Friend". You guys helped me a lot through COVID. I have to say Holden, your ad to be a lord or lady was SUPERB!! Oscar for you sir.😀
I also struggled through Clone Wars this year and can say that they got much better as time went on. Thanks for releasing theses because I have very much enjoyed your journey as it was similar to my own so far.
Honestly this is the start of multiple 9-10 out of 10 episodes and some of the best Star Wars content imo. Crazy that this arc isn’t even the best arc or episodes in the season
10:40 reason? animation time and budget. does take a bit when a person is asleep with the blanket over them. because of that you have to 1. match the size of the blanket to the model and 2. animate the blanket when the character breathes in and out, tussles around and such. 3. anything else for the blanket like say if a scene shows say a pet cat asleep on it then you must animate that too to match any movement for the blanket thats involved.
When my step son watched it for the first time, i told him to start at season 3, and if he liked it to watch the first 2 seasons last, and know hes addicted to the clone wars
Just an FYI, established titles is a scam as you are not (according to the Scottish courts) legally able to own the land they say they're giving you due to its small size, hence you won't actually get the title of a lord or lady. It's just 50-100 bucks for a PDF or a piece of paper, where a single percent goes to planting trees. They make a lot of money so their sponsorships are rather well known so I imagine most youtubers, like Holden, aren't aware of this.
Where do you get the info that only a single percent goes to planting trees? The rest is a lark, some do not mind paying $100 for a lark if it also plants a bunch of trees. But if there are no significant trees planted that is the problem.
@@5353Jumper For every order, they plant one tree, as is writen on their website. They plant trees through an organization called Trees For The Future (also on their website and on the charity's website), which lists the cost of planting one tree at 25 cents USD in their FAQ, so less than a percent actually from the 100USD they take for pretending you own a square foot of dirt, which you have no legally recognized ownership over.
Been watching your channel since you started “My Friend Watches” and I’m so happy to get to see you guys really delve into The Clone Wars. This series is fantastic, can’t wait to see your reactions to the rest! -Tommy
Good ol Asajj after being abandond by her master its clearly a good thing to force a guy to serve you, brainwash him and force him to kill his brother, give him to your master so he gets even more abused and on top of that treat him like complete shit the whole time. He probably won't betray you at all.
Scotland is lucky to have such brave Jedi knights guarding it such as Madter Scott Thomas Holden 😂 may your inappropriate jokes rain free on the lands of TH-cam and Scotland !
11:26 He was poisoned, had his sleep interupted, AND Ventress and the others are (more or less) invisible (not that that should matter too much since he can't see).
as someone who has watched clone wars 3 times, i have never watched it in the order of these arcs like ya'll are. i understand why some people do and it makes sense, but after watching it so many times i definitely understood it more so after the first watch through but with that said, i also think it made enough sense watching it episode by episode in release order. But that's just my opinion.
Maul makes this show so much better. There's a fight in Season 7 I believe that's mocapped by Ray Park. Looks so much better than the all digital fights. So much more weight to the movement.
Idk if anyone has mentioned this to you but the guy who does the voice of all the clones also is credited as playing Appa the man was in the studio going hard with the bison noises
27:00 What`s funny is, your wife says that in almost every episode of Clone Wars. And i do not mean that disparagingly. It means the show is getting to the quality where you feel invested and curious.
Mother Talzin is incredibly powerful. I believe Sidious approached her to be his apprentice at one point.

is it dark disciple you are thinking of?
@@SirJolbyWanKenobi he approached her to be his apprentice but as soon as he met Maul he sacked her and took Maul instead and this is when Talzin developed a hate on Palpatine
@@darthjarjar0074 ohh thank you, seems I forgot to at part of the story
Welcome to the beginning of Clone Wars
Agreed
🙌🙌
Nah I grew up with Clone Wars seasons 1-2 are great

you're way off From the beginning of the series...

I'm sure Holden is familiar with the Nightsisters and Dathomir since he played Jedi Fallen order.
But I wonder if he recognized the Clone Commandos that also featured in this arc?
You should watch the video. Never know, he might even mention if he's heard or recognize either. Worth a shot, i reckon.
Yes yes yes let it begin! I remember watching this arc for the first time as a kid and vividly remember how captivated I was the whole time. It still gets better

Hey guys! If you end up reacting to Andor, be sure to watch in 3-episode increments. They’re split up into arcs similar to Clone Wars
It kind of wouldn’t work like that tho… as some episodes bridge the gap between arcs like ep 7 and then 8,9 and 10 is an arc
@@joshhunt4146 Well the order to watch it is pretty simple to find out. 1-3, then 4-6. Then watch 7, and after that 8-10 and then the final 2 episodes.
Nah theres more ad rev in doing single eps
@@freebird6591 That’s fine, but I’m talking about for their recording session. The first three episodes dropped together because the first two are build up
@@JoshieboyStudios ah true. Yea that makes sense
The way Dooku sleeps is a homage to Dracula who was played by Ser Christopher Lee who plays Dooku in the movies it's a reference to both it's pretty cool.
I know who we should cast as The Scotsman if they ever adapt Samurai Jack in live action.
Was thinking of the same Scotsman 😂
Omg that's perfect😅
This is the arc when Clone Wars went from a great show, to one of the greatest shows of all time.
banger arc, i'm still looking forward to umbara that's probably my all-time favourite arc
watched that one again yesterday. Absolutely stunning and really adds so much depth to the clones

11:54 The way Count Dooku sleeps is deliberate Holden. It's a tribute to Christopher Lee who of course played Count Dracula.
18:18 DELTA SQUAD!
The Umbara arc is where you'll start to care more for the clones
Yesssss!!! This is the arc where the show really starts!!
I LOVED this arc! The Nightsisters were introduced in one of the novels, so this episode connected that novel and the Prequels in a way more bad ass then I would have thought of.
Savage being voiced by the same person who voiced Mr Krabs in SpongeBob will forever be one of the best fun facts I've learned.
Mortis next!
Wait what 🤯
whaaaaattttttt??????!!!!!
Spongebob me boy, I've been brainwashed to kill me own brother! Ahg-ugugug!
And here. We. Go
With this episode Holden and Jen are 44.85% through The Clone Wars!

FYI in real time they are already finished with the entirety of Clone Wars, and are almost done with the first season of Rebels(on their Patreon).
@@TheArrowedKnee i know, this is just for the viewers on youtube (and i also started this way back when they didn't even do patreon episodes yet)
Found ya again
These are SO GOOD! So glad to be here. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
These get exponentially better real fast so get those seatbelts bucketled because you arent ready
So Ventress is in a good portion of the show, but if you want to see her story unfold completely, read the book Star Wars Dark Disciple. It tells her story and has Quinlin Voss in it. And it's canon!
Really hoping they explore her character along with Quinln Voss in Tales of jedi.
Yeah, but they should finish S5 before that
A very wise Jedi once said, "This is where the fun begins!"
So pumped y’all made to this point, I have been waiting for this turn to hit I hope you enjoyed the rest

Bro what. That sponsor reading blew me away! Holden really pulled out that accent and slang from nowhere and totally slayed
I am loving these reviews it also makes me see really just how much the arcs change from mid to actually being extremely entertaining
This is when the show got truly great. Before this there have been ups and downs but from here on out there are rarely any bad arcs
Cannot wait for the Fives arc.. my favorite of the whole show.
I thought I was dreaming when I saw this video got uploaded so soon after the previous on, I can't wait omg
It's working! They're finally starting to get hooked like the rest of us were. Thanks for sticking with it so you could get here!
LORD HARDMEN!!!! I have been a fan since "My Friend". You guys helped me a lot through COVID. I have to say Holden, your ad to be a lord or lady was SUPERB!! Oscar for you sir.😀
I'm so glad you released these videos on patreon so I could see Scottish Holden 😂
This arc was so dope!!!
I love that EA added Dooku's Pajamas as a skin in Battlefront 2
SAVAGE OPPRESS!!😁
To think i used to watch this on Cartoon Network growiinf up back when it was it the bomb!!!
Back in the ole dayz!
I also struggled through Clone Wars this year and can say that they got much better as time went on. Thanks for releasing theses because I have very much enjoyed your journey as it was similar to my own so far.
In one of the books Obi Wan admitted that Ventress was very attractive to him so Holden has gotten that right.
Honestly this is the start of multiple 9-10 out of 10 episodes and some of the best Star Wars content imo. Crazy that this arc isn’t even the best arc or episodes in the season
Not ballsacks 😂 but they’re pods where the dead are ‘buried’… you’ll know in like a few episodes
10:40 reason? animation time and budget. does take a bit when a person is asleep with the blanket over them. because of that you have to 1. match the size of the blanket to the model and 2. animate the blanket when the character breathes in and out, tussles around and such. 3. anything else for the blanket like say if a scene shows say a pet cat asleep on it then you must animate that too to match any movement for the blanket thats involved.
That Scottish accent is on point 👌
Happy thanksgiving y’all. Certainly thankful you guys are now in the thick of it. Looking forward to more uploads. 😁
This is where the fun begins

Fun fact, you can choose any random moment in this video and Holden is talking. Doesn't matter where you pick.
Scottish Holden is great! LOL! That was THE best sponsorship segment I've ever seen.

It has begun
Dang holdens a pretty handsome Scotsman 😉 haha this arc is so good! I need to continue my watch through you guys are caught up to me now lol
I’ve been looking forward to this
After this season 4 is a slow start but the 3rd arc is the best!
But these next 2 arcs r my fav of 3
I'm not sure when it happens exactly, but things are going to get DARK.
Mother Talzins design is actually an early concept design of Darth Maul
Scotland is lucky to have such brave Jedi knights guarding it such as Madter Scott Thomas Holden 😂 may your inappropriate jokes rain free on the lands of TH-cam and Scotland !

Scottish Holden is something to marvel at! Never stop being awesome!
Honestly that established titles sponsor should just be the ads that they use all the time. I had to watch it all the way through.
This is where Clone Wars really starts. Other than Vader, Assajj Ventress is my favorite Sith-y character.
2:28 hell yeah
I just realized savage kinda sounds like mr crabs 😹
So the journey into the heart of clone wars starts now :)
gumball is packed full of adult humor, it would pair well with clone wars.
This is definitely a Top 7 Arc for me!!!🔥🔥
There you go! Getting to the good stuff!

Ventress gets killed by Dooku in one of the books at the ending months of the Clone Wars before he himself gets killed by Anakin.
I came for clone wars reactions but what I found was even better
Love the inclusion of Delta Squad. This canonized them and fans went nuts
The beginning of the maul arc what can be better
Happy Thanksgiving Hardmans!
Now let the Clone Wars begin!
Welcome to the Clone Wars.
