Wow, you guys really seem to love this video 😅 I don't even know how to thank you all for the love and support, except by giving you all more of the content that you want.. I will definitely be doing more Star Wars content, as this is quickly becoming my most viewed video The support has been inspirational in these trying times, I love you all 💕 May the force be with you, always
I debated on keeping it, because the theme is so good, but for the theme of the video I made the decision to take it out and instead follow moreso the message from the 501st Journal - Knightfall: "What I remember about the rise of the Empire, was how quiet it was" Thats exactly the feeling I wanted to convey to the viewer
'Execute Order 66" That's a quote now so impactful it rivals "No, I am your father." And "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground." Purely because of the deep meaning and exploration behind the scene, now that we have so many different perspectives. Revenge of the sith with Obi-Wan, Anakin and Yoda. Jedi: Fallen Order with Cal, Kenobi with Reva, Rebels with Kanan and Ezra, Clone Wars with Ahsoka, Mando with Baby Yoda, and the whole Bad Batch with their experiences. It truly cements this scene and it's importance throughout the whole franchise, as this event ripples through every star wars media as a turning point for the whole Star Wars galaxy.
"I have the high ground" wasn't a quote or a death threat. It meant he was going to kill Anakin or hurt him. He did, how do all of you fans not see that? Did any of you actually payed attention to the duel? "Excute Order 66" isn't a quote, it's an order I am your father only hits you when you watch them all
everything in it makes it worthwhile. the original trilogy may have been the foundations of the franchise, but the prequels are the earth and sky. it has the best music, the best fight scenes, and most emotional moments of all 3 trilogies. and through the clone wars and now the tales of the jedi, it stands as the best this franchise has to offer.
Jesus the moment with Rex desperately trying to resist his conditioning for long enough to get a message to Ahsoka before finally having to fire never fails to cut me DIRECTLY to my core.
I personally hate the condition of the chips, I feel it substracs so much about order 66. Instead of being "good soldiers follow orders" dilema it's just "Now the chip takes over ggs" would be way cooler if it's full civil war on the ship with the few independent clones loyal to Ahsoka fighting against the other ones that are "just obeying orders"
@@JD-bk4zi I agree in principle, and if I had just heard about the chips without watching the show I would probably be saying the same. But the execution of that plot line in the show makes it work. For me the brilliance of The Clone Wars show is how it humanises the clones. Yes it would have been interesting if that was the direction they’d gone with it, but after 7 seasons seeing their relationships with the Jedi I would find it hard to believe many of them would go through with it. It means they would have been aware of the order the entire time, which completely changes that dynamic. Plus, there’s something brilliantly sinister about the idea that Palpatine had these chips in place from the start without them even knowing. We are shown that the clones, despite coming from the same source, are largely independent from each other in terms of personality. With one simple move Palpatine robs them of that. I agree that the direction you suggest would be interesting but the direction they chose works in a completely different way and, in my opinion, brilliantly.
@@JD-bk4zi The new canon chip BS is nonsense anyways. The clones never were supposed to be "good guys". They were simply soldiers that always meant to backstab the Jedi at some point. Willingly and knowing what they were doing. The whole "duh, we are just puppets and are mind controlled" excuse is sucky. Always was.
@@DropkickNation excuse me how do you picture any of it without chips? If all the clones would know from the beginning they will eventually have to turn on the Jedi because their master told them so, at some point some clones would straight up go up for a talk with their Jedi commander and literally tell him everything, possibly even leading to the instant fall of Palpatine and end of the war. Just Imagine Rex knowing all the time and then casually saying to Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Anakin at the same time "so, guys, i think i should tell you that Palpatine is in fact the Sith lord Darth Sidious and we clones were rigged by him from the beginning in a plot to kill you all. Just thought you might want to know cause i feel like we're friends", and at this point you can roll in the credits. The end, the star wars Trilogy consists only of Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and The Fall of the Sith. Anakin was the chosen one and brought Palpatine to justice by smashing him together with Windu till he dies, the clone wars end soon after that as Jedi council realizes they've been all played and everyone return to negotiations finally establishing peace. Dude it's Star Wars, a mind altering peace of space technology in a form of a brain implanted chip makes nothing else but sense in every possible way. Clones are somewhat independent, technology is surely there (we have freaking mind flyers in the empire?! AND CLONING HELLO?!), and Palpatine needs it for the success of his plan. But i must say it would be funny if the entire giant plot of the most powerful Sith Lord made to overthrow the republic and replace it with an empire with himself on the emperor's throne, and killing the entire Jedi order in with the culmination of the plot, got ruined by a random clone getting drunk and whining to Plo Koon about how he's supposed to kill him at some point.
11:32 "What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."
It's been said that the 501st got the best of the war. We also got the worst. On Felucia, the seps. dug their metal heels into the muck of that alien hellhole and dared the republic to come in after them. So we did, only to be met with month after month of flesh eating diseases, shrieking nocturnal predators, and other sights that still haunt me to this day. Cut off and for all we knew abandoned by our superiors, our only hope was Aalya Secura, our Jedi commander. Without her iron will, none of us would have mess with our sanity, or our lives. When her death came, I hope it was quick. She earned that much. When the 501st was finally rotated out of Felucia, Aalya Secura made a point of seeing us off personally, calling us the bravest soldiers she had ever seen. It's a good thing we were wearing helmets, because none of us could look at her in the eye
Rex's attempt to fight it off makes me wonder how many other clones were perhaps screaming "Nooo!" in some part of their mind even as they were forced to obey.
I think it might be more of a Rex because of 5's. What's left of him puts the pieces together before being shut down by the chip. The others have no context to spark the reaction
I hate the inhibitor chips so much, I think it ruined the gravitas of order 66. The messed up part about order 66 wasn't supposed to be just that the jedi died, it's that the soldiers that fought alongside them for so long, once the order was given could just turn right aeound on those people. Their was an actual betrayal and that's what made the clones who didn't listen even more interesting. All that got flushed down the toilet to now it's just, "Oh chip makes me bad now, ok"." All of those interesting stories and struggle and emotion, gone.
@@snusemcgoose1001 Unfortunately, the inhibitor chips are a necessary evil. When the prequels came out, the clones were basically proto-stormtroopers. Besides a single friendly exchange between Obi Wan and Cody, you never really get to see the human side of the clones. That makes the clones all secretly knowing about Order 66 more palatable, as the audience has no reason to suspect that any clones will feel remorse about killing the Jedi as soon as they are ordered too. Then everything changed when The Clone Wars show came out. For the first time, people got to see the human side of the troopers; see their struggles and sacrifices, their bond with their brothers and to their Jedi generals. Even though statistically Jedi were probably not all loved by their troops, seeing the likes of Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Plo-Koon, and tons of lesser jedi risk their lives to save the lives of the soldiers under their command, it was no longer believable that the clones could turn on them so ruthlessly. Clones are not droids, they are men. They have the same capacity for critical thinking as anyone else, and would certainly question why they were suddenly out-of-the-blue ordered to put down their trusted friends and comrades. Yes, it eliminates the possibility of some really compelling stories, but it fixes a much larger logical plot-hole in the canon.
@@s.31.l50 i remember watching a video on Windu, I think it was Star Wars Theory, that talked about how he was the exact opposite of anakin. Anakin would throw away the republic to save someone he loved. Mace would do anything to save the Republic, which incidentally caused him to be a worse jedi. I don't even know if you could really consider him a true Jedi Master, more like a Republic Master Warrior trained in the ways of the Jedi.
The moment that will always hit me the most is the one with Ashoka and Rex. The whole time everyone is so happy and excited but the music and the dread of knowing what happens next always shakes me
I think it's because thats the one that truly exploits the relationships between Clones-Jedi. We know Rex, we get to see him being developed and the way he built his friendship with Ahsoka. They emphasize this with Ahsoka saying, "I couldn't ask for a better friend". We're left to assume the clones were close with each of their own Jedi generals, but its never even touched in a detailed way like this. Before I saw TCW, I used to get sad at the scene in RoTS where Cody hands Obi-Wan his 'saber just mere seconds before he gets the order to kill him but after seeing Rex with Ahsoka, that was even more sad
Wil the trailer to the new cartoon depicting ahsokas rigorous training against the clones makes the scene where she’s deflecting all those blaster shots hurt just a little more
The fact even when the clones had no choice but to obey, Ahsoka desperately trying not to kill them, that in the end those clones died in the ship, and seeing the pan over of all those dead clone’s helmets just tore me up inside because as a fellow military member, I can relate that we served and will die serving, losing my own brothers in arms I took that whole scene to heart. 😢🥺😭
Cal's camaraderie with the clones on the way to see his master almost brought me to tears from knowing what they will be forced to do very soon after that.
Order 66 scenes never fail to get a tear from my eye. When I first saw ROTS as a kid in theaters, it was thematic and epic. But after watching TCW and seeing all of the lore build, these clones fight faithfully by their Jedi pals through thick and thin, and to see Sidious use mind control to turn clone against those same familiar jedi, the true feeling of hopelessness that the jedi must have felt sets in. The betrayal. The sadness asohka feels seeing that she has to let her clone companions die, or kill them, to survive. To see Kanan's pain as a kid and recognize it resurface in Rebels. It's so much sadder now than it ever was before.
Like the clones Ahsoka and Rex have to take out literally painted their armor to honor ahsoka earlier that season. Its heartbreaking. Filoni really expanded on Lucas' vision.
Same, I remember watching ROTS as kid right after it released, order 66 came on screen and I was in tears. Growing up reading the old stories and learning the different Jedi's names. It cut so deep.
every time order 66 is said and everything starts shifting, im a 30 year old dude but i tear up cause i loved the jedi and all the masters watching in the movies but also alot more interesting stories and how much more they were admired by alot and were well mentors to ashoka like kit fisto and Plo koon, i tear up cause its just one of the saddest scenes in all star wars. and seeing the bad batch scene was really sad to see, kit fisto, Plo koon, ki andi mundi, even thou he was a messed up mental jedi, stass allie, aayla secura, and of course Mace Windu. alot of other jedi im missing but its a sad and heartbreaking scene and after watching the clone wars and bad batch, it was more emotional.
There is, Nobuo Uematsu is actually a legendary composer on the videogame call "Final Fantasy VII" you should play the game it really good :) he originally did it in the 90s and now he remake the same music the modern version on remake game :) it REALLY good music and I highly recommend it 👍
huge missed opportunity there in the trilogy sequels. But instead Disney wrote it into canon that he had contempt and extreme dislike for the jedi order and threw himself a pity party over it.
I think it's a combination of 2 reasons: 1. Most of the Jedi who didn't sense it was in the middle of a battlefield, while those who were in calmer places found it easier to feel at least that something was happening (for example, Depa Bilaba also sensed something) 2. Some Jedi are more powerful than others and are better at different abilities It's also possible that he was more detached from his clones, so it was easier for him than for others
It was mentioned by Cere in Fallen Order that his master was a "True Guardian of the Jedi" so perhaps that implies Jaro Tapal was a pretty powerful jedi in the force? Not sure, perhaps Fallen Survivor may answer some of these questions?
The facial expression on ki-adi mundi's face when he sees the clones lining up to fire is something I never really paid attention to until this video. With the context of TCW, it becomes less an expression of confusion and more an expression of sadness and betryal. Its a hearbreaking face.
Nah he was a piece of sh*t honestly he never felt emotion do he probably was genuinely confused in his last moments. Look up why he was a terrible person, you'll understand
I love that the Wookees although confused on the situation, without question aided Yoda even letting him climb onto them during his escape that shit hit my heart for some reason lol.
That scene in padmes apartment where you see the jedi temple burn in the distance is actually pretty terrifying. Especially after you have watched the clone wars knowing that most of your favourite characters are currently being slaughtered in the background.
I feel bad for the clones too. We all know atleast 90 percent of them didn't want to do it given the choice but unfortunately they didn't have the power to not do it. Seeing the hesitation from Rex is probably the best way of showing that. Overall I just feel bad for all involved.
I really feel bad for the young-lings.. In the Mandalorian when he brings Grogoo to learn the Mandalorian fighting ways.. It kinda shows Grogoo having PTSD flashbacks of order 66...I wonder how many othere's pad's or young-lings got PTSD from that day..To me they where still kids/teens so still finding them self's while learning how to handle the force where the Jedi had some time to find them selfs, so I do not feel as bad as for them...
I teared up halfway, just imagine a clone you’ve been with since day 1 of the clone wars and was your best friend, turns around and says “I must follow orders” before shooting you dead.
Some of the saddest scenes of Order 66 to me is seeing Masters who sacrifice themselves to protect their Padawan. The act of the older generation giving no second thought to the decision that the younglings must live no matter the cost cuts deep and shows the philosophy of the Jedi at its truest: Selfless service and the protection of the innocent.
Okay, the dedication you made to summarize even the pattern of which Jedi and Force user felt the imbalance first???? Fucking. Legendary. You made the line alone a lot more depressing and I grew up with crying over Rex hesitating to hurt Ahsoka.
Still wish it wasn’t the inhibitor chips making them do this tho. It adds far more to the story. Clones were abused and abused but they also had close friends of the Jedi that they felt had to kill. Yet others disobeyed them
It’s so amazing how after nearly 20 years, order 66 is a story that can keep developing and keep going in a depth that is yet untapped. Such a simple concept but it’s range really is impactful
George Lucas wanted to create a modern mythology that echoes our own world and our own sufferings, to expiate it through fiction, hope and heroism. Order 66 is among the most villainous acts ever performed on screen. It's the greatest level of treason, it spans the entire galaxy, and it annihilates an order known throughout it by most of its inhabitants since thousands of years. Jedis have been the beacon of political values our real world hold dearly : peace, democracy, freedom. The Sith embody everything that corrupts us : greed, power, anger, despair. Order 66 echoes our very real tragedies as a species : the world wars, the genocides, the atomic bombs, the countless death in battles and massacres. If the scene hurts you, it's not because jedi dies, it's because the entire world dies through this scene. George intended his saga to be a metaphor for our suffering as well as our hopes and ideals. I think he achieved it very well. Star Wars is about how Evil is defeated by Goodness, how Democracy prevails over Tyranny, how individual deeds of heroism can bring back balance and force out tyrants.
That's because you are wrong. The Jedi represented weakness and stagnation. Having the power to solve a problem but not. The Republic was beyond corrupt and ineffective and had lost any and all moral authority (so had the Jedi). Only the vision of one enlightened individual, Darth Sidious, could bring the galaxy back from the brink and restore order. Order 66 wasn't just necessary, it was morally correct.
@@SirGriffin87 imagine falling for of video games in universe propaganda. A corrupt and broken republic and Jedi order were still preferable to the empire under Palpatine.
If there is one thing done right that even Disney can’t fail so far, is making the perspective of Order 66 still seem tragic. It’s probably the one most consistent lore piece that’s still done right and still has the feels when you see it.
"I sent him to inform the Chancellor that General Grievous has indeed been located on Utapau" It's so sad because you know EXACTLY how this all plays out and you link it all together in your mind. While Ahsoka and Rex are talking about their lives as soldiers, Anakin is finding out the truth. While Cal is training, Mace Windu is fighting Chancellor Palpatine. And you know the entire Jedi Order is about to be wiped out. It's just...

I can not imagine how many hours went into editing, researching, and watching to get this video as seamless as it is, bro I think it makes sense That Ahsoka and Maul sensed what happened because both of their masters were there, but how did Cal's master sense it? Jesus I completely forgot Grogu was there too. This was so well put together man, I much respect it. The clones walking in silence was terrifying It was so sad to see Cal being all friendly with the clones without me knowing what happens next. I haven’t even played the game and I’m sad 😔I teared up halfway, just imagine a clone you’ve been with since day 1 of the Clone Wars and was your best friend, turns around, and says “I must follow orders” before shooting you dead. I think the safest is Cal, especially the last clone who gives him a high five. Cal was close to the clones and then they started attacking him Okay, the dedication you made to summarize even the pattern of which Jedi and Force user felt the imbalance first???? Fucking. Legendary. You made the line alone a lot more depressing and I grew up crying over Rex hesitating to hurt Ahsoka. honestly, cal's perspective hits hardest for me. the bond that he and the clones had clearly built made the build-up all the more tragic, and his reaction to it all, even after several years... I felt it. I didn't just feel sad, I actually felt Cal's pain, because I was still getting over my grandparents' deaths when I first played.

It’s probably the most consistent lore piece that’s still done right and still has the feels when you see it. The original Battlefront 2 cut scene was such a brilliant end addition I think the moment when Anakin kills the younglings has gotten overlooked and we’ve become used to the scene as avid fans. It’s heartbreaking to think that little youngling had a brief sense of relief seeing someone as strong and protective as Master Skywalker…. and then he ignited that lightsaber in his face 😭. Feels almost like a school shooter situation. The terror shock and betrayal those little kids experienced are so devastating to think about. 2:10 It was such a great mistake not to inform Ashoka about Sidious's true identity when she could've spread the word after the Fall of Order. Edit: they probably didn't know that Palpatine is Sidious at this point but storming the chancellor's office instead of informing the public, police, senate, or other Jedi that they are ruled by a Sith was stupid.. The clones being so friendly moments before the turn breaks my heart every time, they seemed like they got along so well with Cal before Damn, these four final episodes of Clone Wars really were pure cinema. Always give me the whole roller coaster of emotions every time I watch them. Yikes. I’m watching this on my phone, and the clones coming in without music and only marching boots was kind of terrifying, I’ve seen that scene many, many times. Great job. The whole thing was great, but that scene… I know someone else already mentioned it, but you made an excellent choice. 👏🏻 No matter how many times I see it, that scene of Anakin preparing to attack the younglings just hits me in my core. It just shows the brutality of his mission, and how far he was willing to go. It’s so amazing how after nearly 20 years, order 66 is a story that can keep developing and keep going in a yet untapped depth. Such a simple concept but its range really is impactful I tried making one myself but I really prefer this one, very well put together. So frustrating watching all the mistakes the Jedi made that allowed Order 66 to happen. Love the video! Keep the updates coming!
honestly, cal's perspective hits hardest for me. the bond that he and the clones had clearly built made the build up all the more tragic, and his reaction to it all, even after several years... i felt it. i didn't just feel sad, i actually felt cal's pain, because i was still getting over my grandparent's deaths when i first played.
It's so shocking from his perspective but I also can't help thinking of the poor brainwashed clones, treating Cal like a kid brother while at every interaction they must be thinking, hoping, praying: "Please, please, let the the Order not come. Or least not while I'm around little Cal. Please, oh please..."
Maybe i am the only one but a "Star Wars: Order 66/Protocol (Jedi)knightfall" Videogame would be insane. Maybe in the View of Anakin/Vader and even after he got his suit with the order to hunt jedis and modify our armor. The Idea would be interesting we could get again a feeling like the force Unleashed where we got a powerful character that destroyed everything that stands in the way.
Yikes. I’m watching this on my phone, and the clones coming in without music and only marching boots was kind of terrifying, and I’ve seen that scene many, many times. Great job.

This video only further convinces me of John Williams's talents as a composer. Like God damn, the pure emotion in the music as the Jedi, once keepers of the peace, are brutally slaughtered by an army they thought was on their side. Williams sure knew what he was doing.
2:10 it was such a great mistake not to inform Ashoka about Sidious's true identity when she could've spread the word after the Fall of Order.

@@CT-7567- People are WAY to hard on Mace and the Jedi for that. Think about it from their perspective. Letta turns up dead, there is footage of Ahsoka using her hands as if she was using the force. They have no knowledge of Bariss. Then some troopers are incapacitated, Ahsoka escapes and gets her lightsabers. Then, whilst she is on the run, some more clones mysteriously are found dead. Killed by a lightsaber, and there are only two Jedi in the building (to their knowledge), one of which is looking for the rouge. Then she is seen conspiring with a terrorist, then assaults the military police with said terrorist (this alone is worthy of conviction), and finally, is found in possession of the very weapon that was used to blow up the temple. And in the inconvenient fact that they literally couldn't do anything without inciting riots and speculation of a Jedi betrayal, and their course of action really isn't that much of a bad one.
OMG....This is amazing! This must have taken so much time and hard work! Even seeing these scenes before, separately, the way you combined them so it showed order 66 in real time from multiple perspectives...I'm in awe. I'm not going to lie, it definitely brought up an emotional response...I don't think I've ever teared up for Star Wars before, excepting when Ashoka Tano left the Jedi order.
Imagine if ashoka had shown up a minute earlier before mace sent Anakin to Palpatine. I'm not sure exactly what would have happened but there's no doubt she would have sensed something was very wrong with him and would have spoken to him in person after that meeting. Ashoka was the anchor on the other side Anakin needed to keep him grounded in reality while his relationship with padme was the main driving factor in him falling. Who knows exactly what would have happened but I'm willing to bet that she would have been perfectly willing to help hide his marriage after what she had been put through at the hands of the jedi AND that she could have kind of jumpstarted his brain and reminded him of what truly mattered. Padme gave him the speech about fighting for the wrong side and his faith in the republic was clearly faltering, Ashoka would have given him the other side of it. "Maybe this side were on isn't so good, I experienced that myself. But look at me, after everything they put me through I still came back because I know it's the right thing to do, to fight for the innocent and protect them. For all their flaws, thats what were supposed to do as jedi. Open your eyes Anakin, this IS how you save padme!" Really remind him of what a Jedi is supposed to be regardless of what is happening around him, remind him of all the people he saved and all the good he had done for people. The want to do good in him was gone after everything those supposedly close to him had done and she could have refocused him. At least enough so that padme wasn't the only thing he could think about. I'm not even sure obi wan would have saved him. Obi wan might have been able to do this too, but I think regardless his mind was too set on ending the war and he was too deep into the dogma to truly change Anakins mind. I truly believe only Ashoka could have 100 percent stopped his fall. For all padme would want to help she'd be useless, Ashoka knew exactly what Anakin was feeling
Yoda referring to Ashoka as “Padawan” after Windus jab at her is probably the most upbeat party of this entire scenario. I really kind of hope we get a flashback or something in the Ashoka show/ next season of tales of the Jedi that shows Ashoka somehow reconvening with yoda some years after Knightfall. An emotional conversation, it will be.
ROTS: Wanna see order 66? Clone Wars: Wanna see me do it again? Fallen Order: Wanna see me do it again? Mandalorian: Wanna see me do it again? Bad Batch: Wanna see me do it again? Kenobi: Wanna see me do it again?
i have watched a lot of videos about the order 66 but this is definitely the best out there! this is the one that makes you feel the importance of this, feel all the drama and pain, and it's the only way to tell that everything will be different from now on. love this one❤️
When Yoda talks to Ashoka, and we see his eyes, they are so expressive. It is like he knows what is going to happen (which I'm sure he was) and wanted Ashoka to be the barricade to block Anakin's fall. That moment when Ashoka held her tongue signaled the end of the Jedi. It was their last shot of prevention...
Honestly, with all the information we now have about the prequel era. It truly is ironic how the Jedi were overconfident of themselves as much as the Empire were with their power. At this point in time, they knew that that the clones were made by the enemy. They knew About the attempt/initiative Fives took to help bring down the rising emperor. They also knew about Ashoka’s past and when given the opportunity to return, she denied and continued to play the freelancer role.
I am becoming more and more convinced that the droid army was nothing more than planned training. The clones became superior combatants to the machines with the war and the Jedi were so busy facing them day and night that they got used to following the same fighting pattern... Let's say that the firing configuration of a B1 droid is designed so that over time, the Jedi will become accustomed to it and be effective in responding to its attacks... but when facing a clone, they are patterned consciously and absolutely different from their CIS counterparts. They lagged behind and by the time the clones struck, this coupled with the surprise factor, they were overwhelming. The Jedi were simply stunned to see their defense that had been so effective during the war now falling apart. Not to mention that the Clones had plenty of time to watch their generals, study and learn everything from them. I think the droids, especially the B1's attacking in massive numbers, were meant to prepare the Clones and stunt the Jedi knights.... for this very moment of Order 66. A masterful move if you ask me.
Even as a grown man seeing this brings tears to my eyes, Star Wars is within my top 5 loves, them being my God, my dogs, the Disney parks, Star Wars, and Christmas
Order 66 has to be one of the most impactful moments in modern cinematography. The music, the camera work, the atmosphere, the sadness, all of it was already enough to make it into a classic seane but years of building on top of that with shows and games like the clone wars, the mandalorian, Kenoby, the bad batch, jedi fallen order, ,... have served to make this the best and most impactrful scene I have ever seen in any movie (in my personal experiance at least)
Oh my gosh... this vid is amazing. Thank you for that. I had a tear in my eyes after "Master Skywalker, they're too many of them. What should we do?" At this point in this video i had to cry
Damn that scene with the the kids still gives me chills, right when that lightsaber sound hits. Until that moment i stilll hope he chooses the light over dark.
This is absolutely amazing! Seeing Order 66 from so many different perspectives really hits the feels hard. Great job on this video; brilliant idea and execution. Sub'd! 👍
I told myself that I would subscribe if battlefront 2 was in this video. And this video really met my expectations. You've just earned a new subscriber.
The music overlay from the bad batch scene into revenge of the sith was really good👍 If possible you might want to find another military march sound that use a more flat surface, and perhaps tune it down slightly👍
I like how they used the audio from the films. Not only did they use the audio from Sidious, anakin and mace, but they even got the same audio of mundi when he mentions removing the chancellor from office.
2:26 "I'll tell him myself when I see him". That's one of those awful moments where the character should just have said it then and there. Like Ned Stark telling Jon "the next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother" and then going off down south to get his head chopped off before ever getting to tell him. Should have told him then and there. Boy, that would have changed things. And Ahsoka should have told Yoda that Maul spilled the beans on Palps, rather than waiting to tell Anakin in person. Would have really thrown a wrench in Palpatine's plans.
I get a little teary eyed every time I see Order 66 scenes...until it gets to the Ki-Adi Mundi scene where i laugh hysterically...then i go back to being sad.
Great video. ROTS is quite possibly my favorite movie of the whole series. I also really like how it seems Sidious contacts Cody first and does so personally. As if to ensure Obi Wan was the first taken out

I will definitely be doing more Star Wars content, as this is quickly becoming my most viewed video

"What I remember about the rise of the Empire, was how quiet it was"
Thats exactly the feeling I wanted to convey to the viewer

'Execute Order 66" That's a quote now so impactful it rivals "No, I am your father." And "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground." Purely because of the deep meaning and exploration behind the scene, now that we have so many different perspectives. Revenge of the sith with Obi-Wan, Anakin and Yoda. Jedi: Fallen Order with Cal, Kenobi with Reva, Rebels with Kanan and Ezra, Clone Wars with Ahsoka, Mando with Baby Yoda, and the whole Bad Batch with their experiences. It truly cements this scene and it's importance throughout the whole franchise, as this event ripples through every star wars media as a turning point for the whole Star Wars galaxy.
"I have the high ground" wasn't a quote or a death threat. It meant he was going to kill Anakin or hurt him. He did, how do all of you fans not see that? Did any of you actually payed attention to the duel? "Excute Order 66" isn't a quote, it's an order

The existence of Order 66 alone makes the prequel trilogy worth while.
And to think even then it’s not alone amongst other facets that make the prequel era content great!
everything in it makes it worthwhile. the original trilogy may have been the foundations of the franchise, but the prequels are the earth and sky. it has the best music, the best fight scenes, and most emotional moments of all 3 trilogies. and through the clone wars and now the tales of the jedi, it stands as the best this franchise has to offer.
@nikolai 1939 Men. Not clones. Men!
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were still sinners Christ died for us
they are a chore to get through though. Had to read about it instead
Jesus the moment with Rex desperately trying to resist his conditioning for long enough to get a message to Ahsoka before finally having to fire never fails to cut me DIRECTLY to my core.
I personally hate the condition of the chips, I feel it substracs so much about order 66. Instead of being "good soldiers follow orders" dilema it's just "Now the chip takes over ggs" would be way cooler if it's full civil war on the ship with the few independent clones loyal to Ahsoka fighting against the other ones that are "just obeying orders"
@@JD-bk4zi I agree in principle, and if I had just heard about the chips without watching the show I would probably be saying the same. But the execution of that plot line in the show makes it work. For me the brilliance of The Clone Wars show is how it humanises the clones. Yes it would have been interesting if that was the direction they’d gone with it, but after 7 seasons seeing their relationships with the Jedi I would find it hard to believe many of them would go through with it. It means they would have been aware of the order the entire time, which completely changes that dynamic. Plus, there’s something brilliantly sinister about the idea that Palpatine had these chips in place from the start without them even knowing. We are shown that the clones, despite coming from the same source, are largely independent from each other in terms of personality. With one simple move Palpatine robs them of that.
I agree that the direction you suggest would be interesting but the direction they chose works in a completely different way and, in my opinion, brilliantly.
@@JD-bk4zi The new canon chip BS is nonsense anyways. The clones never were supposed to be "good guys". They were simply soldiers that always meant to backstab the Jedi at some point. Willingly and knowing what they were doing.
The whole "duh, we are just puppets and are mind controlled" excuse is sucky. Always was.
@@DropkickNation excuse me how do you picture any of it without chips? If all the clones would know from the beginning they will eventually have to turn on the Jedi because their master told them so, at some point some clones would straight up go up for a talk with their Jedi commander and literally tell him everything, possibly even leading to the instant fall of Palpatine and end of the war. Just Imagine Rex knowing all the time and then casually saying to Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Anakin at the same time "so, guys, i think i should tell you that Palpatine is in fact the Sith lord Darth Sidious and we clones were rigged by him from the beginning in a plot to kill you all. Just thought you might want to know cause i feel like we're friends", and at this point you can roll in the credits. The end, the star wars Trilogy consists only of Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and The Fall of the Sith. Anakin was the chosen one and brought Palpatine to justice by smashing him together with Windu till he dies, the clone wars end soon after that as Jedi council realizes they've been all played and everyone return to negotiations finally establishing peace.
Dude it's Star Wars, a mind altering peace of space technology in a form of a brain implanted chip makes nothing else but sense in every possible way. Clones are somewhat independent, technology is surely there (we have freaking mind flyers in the empire?! AND CLONING HELLO?!), and Palpatine needs it for the success of his plan.
But i must say it would be funny if the entire giant plot of the most powerful Sith Lord made to overthrow the republic and replace it with an empire with himself on the emperor's throne, and killing the entire Jedi order in with the culmination of the plot, got ruined by a random clone getting drunk and whining to Plo Koon about how he's supposed to kill him at some point.

"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."
damn
OG Battlefront II campaign hit different
It's been said that the 501st got the best of the war. We also got the worst. On Felucia, the seps. dug their metal heels into the muck of that alien hellhole and dared the republic to come in after them. So we did, only to be met with month after month of flesh eating diseases, shrieking nocturnal predators, and other sights that still haunt me to this day. Cut off and for all we knew abandoned by our superiors, our only hope was Aalya Secura, our Jedi commander. Without her iron will, none of us would have mess with our sanity, or our lives. When her death came, I hope it was quick. She earned that much.
When the 501st was finally rotated out of Felucia, Aalya Secura made a point of seeing us off personally, calling us the bravest soldiers she had ever seen. It's a good thing we were wearing helmets, because none of us could look at her in the eye
This one hit just as hard for me
Shakespeare could never ‼️
Rex's attempt to fight it off makes me wonder how many other clones were perhaps screaming "Nooo!" in some part of their mind even as they were forced to obey.
check the "bad batch"
Probably a lot of them. Cody. Bly. Wolffe.
I think it might be more of a Rex because of 5's. What's left of him puts the pieces together before being shut down by the chip. The others have no context to spark the reaction
I hate the inhibitor chips so much, I think it ruined the gravitas of order 66. The messed up part about order 66 wasn't supposed to be just that the jedi died, it's that the soldiers that fought alongside them for so long, once the order was given could just turn right aeound on those people. Their was an actual betrayal and that's what made the clones who didn't listen even more interesting. All that got flushed down the toilet to now it's just, "Oh chip makes me bad now, ok"." All of those interesting stories and struggle and emotion, gone.
@@snusemcgoose1001 Unfortunately, the inhibitor chips are a necessary evil.
When the prequels came out, the clones were basically proto-stormtroopers. Besides a single friendly exchange between Obi Wan and Cody, you never really get to see the human side of the clones. That makes the clones all secretly knowing about Order 66 more palatable, as the audience has no reason to suspect that any clones will feel remorse about killing the Jedi as soon as they are ordered too.
Then everything changed when The Clone Wars show came out. For the first time, people got to see the human side of the troopers; see their struggles and sacrifices, their bond with their brothers and to their Jedi generals. Even though statistically Jedi were probably not all loved by their troops, seeing the likes of Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Plo-Koon, and tons of lesser jedi risk their lives to save the lives of the soldiers under their command, it was no longer believable that the clones could turn on them so ruthlessly. Clones are not droids, they are men. They have the same capacity for critical thinking as anyone else, and would certainly question why they were suddenly out-of-the-blue ordered to put down their trusted friends and comrades.
Yes, it eliminates the possibility of some really compelling stories, but it fixes a much larger logical plot-hole in the canon.
Keeping ahsoka out of the loop regardless of her current standing was insane to me 💀
Mace Windu being a shitty Jedi once again XD
@@s.31.l50 the Jedi order being that way is why she left. They lost sight of their true purpose and payed for it
@@s.31.l50 i remember watching a video on Windu, I think it was Star Wars Theory, that talked about how he was the exact opposite of anakin. Anakin would throw away the republic to save someone he loved. Mace would do anything to save the Republic, which incidentally caused him to be a worse jedi. I don't even know if you could really consider him a true Jedi Master, more like a Republic Master Warrior trained in the ways of the Jedi.
@@s.31.l50 I think if Windu survived he would have gone down a similar path to Saw Gurrera, where he essentially becomes very brutal and violent.
Not telling Yoda was insane....
The moment that will always hit me the most is the one with Ashoka and Rex. The whole time everyone is so happy and excited but the music and the dread of knowing what happens next always shakes me
I think it's because thats the one that truly exploits the relationships between Clones-Jedi. We know Rex, we get to see him being developed and the way he built his friendship with Ahsoka. They emphasize this with Ahsoka saying, "I couldn't ask for a better friend". We're left to assume the clones were close with each of their own Jedi generals, but its never even touched in a detailed way like this.
Before I saw TCW, I used to get sad at the scene in RoTS where Cody hands Obi-Wan his 'saber just mere seconds before he gets the order to kill him but after seeing Rex with Ahsoka, that was even more sad
Once Anakin left to go to the events of Episode III, I was filed with so much dread knowing what was coming around the corner.
Wil the trailer to the new cartoon depicting ahsokas rigorous training against the clones makes the scene where she’s deflecting all those blaster shots hurt just a little more
@@karenjames7212 let me
Exploit the relationship between me and your Instagram
The fact even when the clones had no choice but to obey, Ahsoka desperately trying not to kill them, that in the end those clones died in the ship, and seeing the pan over of all those dead clone’s helmets just tore me up inside because as a fellow military member, I can relate that we served and will die serving, losing my own brothers in arms I took that whole scene to heart. 😢🥺😭
To put it into perspective, in ten minutes over 10,000 jedi were reduced to around 100 and by a new hope only 10s remained
Cal's camaraderie with the clones on the way to see his master almost brought me to tears from knowing what they will be forced to do very soon after that.

True, one would think the message reached different places at different times due to the finite speed of light
Order 66 scenes never fail to get a tear from my eye. When I first saw ROTS as a kid in theaters, it was thematic and epic. But after watching TCW and seeing all of the lore build, these clones fight faithfully by their Jedi pals through thick and thin, and to see Sidious use mind control to turn clone against those same familiar jedi, the true feeling of hopelessness that the jedi must have felt sets in. The betrayal. The sadness asohka feels seeing that she has to let her clone companions die, or kill them, to survive. To see Kanan's pain as a kid and recognize it resurface in Rebels. It's so much sadder now than it ever was before.
Like the clones Ahsoka and Rex have to take out literally painted their armor to honor ahsoka earlier that season. Its heartbreaking. Filoni really expanded on Lucas' vision.
No mind control by sidious, but a behavioral chip implanted on the clones as soon as they were made
Same, I remember watching ROTS as kid right after it released, order 66 came on screen and I was in tears. Growing up reading the old stories and learning the different Jedi's names. It cut so deep.

Okay a bunch of Jedis died
Starting to think Order 37 is worse
There could be more perspectives.
They line up perfectly as well. From clone wars season 7, bad batch and revenge of the sith.
John Williams’s music really does hit you hard, I can’t imagine any other composer creating such moving music

every time order 66 is said and everything starts shifting, im a 30 year old dude but i tear up cause i loved the jedi and all the masters watching in the movies but also alot more interesting stories and how much more they were admired by alot and were well mentors to ashoka like kit fisto and Plo koon, i tear up cause its just one of the saddest scenes in all star wars. and seeing the bad batch scene was really sad to see, kit fisto, Plo koon, ki andi mundi, even thou he was a messed up mental jedi, stass allie, aayla secura, and of course Mace Windu. alot of other jedi im missing but its a sad and heartbreaking scene and after watching the clone wars and bad batch, it was more emotional.
@@bemasaberwyn55 Honestly the Kliners could be better in some cases.
There is, Nobuo Uematsu is actually a legendary composer on the videogame call "Final Fantasy VII" you should play the game it really good :) he originally did it in the 90s and now he remake the same music the modern version on remake game :) it REALLY good music and I highly recommend it 👍
Luke finding out all about this must have hit really damn hard especially when he realizes his own father was responsible for all of it
Was used as a tool by sidious
Anakin thought what he was doing was going to save padme
No
huge missed opportunity there in the trilogy sequels. But instead Disney wrote it into canon that he had contempt and extreme dislike for the jedi order and threw himself a pity party over it.
The clones walking in in silence was terrifying
Jesus I forgot completely forgot Grogu was there too. This was so well put together man, much respect.
we're about to find out how he was saved! honestly, that's what I'm looking forward too most in this new season of Mando
I think it makes sense That ahsoka and maul sensed what happened because both of their masters were there, but how did Cals master sense it?
spin off story probably?
I think it's a combination of 2 reasons:
1. Most of the Jedi who didn't sense it was in the middle of a battlefield, while those who were in calmer places found it easier to feel at least that something was happening (for example, Depa Bilaba also sensed something)
2. Some Jedi are more powerful than others and are better at different abilities
It's also possible that he was more detached from his clones, so it was easier for him than for others
Well Cals master is a Jedi Master, just like Joda sensed it.
It was mentioned by Cere in Fallen Order that his master was a "True Guardian of the Jedi" so perhaps that implies Jaro Tapal was a pretty powerful jedi in the force?
Not sure, perhaps Fallen Survivor may answer some of these questions?
@@xvoidxhunter2129 Tapal was a powerful Jedi. Very powerful.
The facial expression on ki-adi mundi's face when he sees the clones lining up to fire is something I never really paid attention to until this video. With the context of TCW, it becomes less an expression of confusion and more an expression of sadness and betryal. Its a hearbreaking face.
that man has no sadness
Nah he was a piece of sh*t honestly he never felt emotion do he probably was genuinely confused in his last moments. Look up why he was a terrible person, you'll understand
No he's actually surprised. Mundi is known for being a sociopath that didn't care at all for his clones. He just thought they could never betray him.
He I would argue be one of the main causes of the downfall of the jedi.
Except ki-adi is a piece of shit and represents a lot of what's wrong with the jedi order.
I love that the Wookees although confused on the situation, without question aided Yoda even letting him climb onto them during his escape that shit hit my heart for some reason lol.
That scene in padmes apartment where you see the jedi temple burn in the distance is actually pretty terrifying. Especially after you have watched the clone wars knowing that most of your favourite characters are currently being slaughtered in the background.
I now realise how terrifying Order 66 was…I feel bad for all the younglings and Jedi…
I feel bad for the clones too. We all know atleast 90 percent of them didn't want to do it given the choice but unfortunately they didn't have the power to not do it. Seeing the hesitation from Rex is probably the best way of showing that. Overall I just feel bad for all involved.
I feel bad for Jedi and clones but not for younglings
@@KupiecKorzenny_EmhyrVarEmreis why?
@@KingRogue because yes
I really feel bad for the young-lings.. In the Mandalorian when he brings Grogoo to learn the Mandalorian fighting ways.. It kinda shows Grogoo having PTSD flashbacks of order 66...I wonder how many othere's pad's or young-lings got PTSD from that day..To me they where still kids/teens so still finding them self's while learning how to handle the force where the Jedi had some time to find them selfs, so I do not feel as bad as for them...
I think the safest is cal especially the last clone who gives him a high five. Cal was close to the clones and then they start attacking him
I teared up halfway, just imagine a clone you’ve been with since day 1 of the clone wars and was your best friend, turns around and says “I must follow orders” before shooting you dead.
my god, its honestly unthinkable
Some of the saddest scenes of Order 66 to me is seeing Masters who sacrifice themselves to protect their Padawan. The act of the older generation giving no second thought to the decision that the younglings must live no matter the cost cuts deep and shows the philosophy of the Jedi at its truest: Selfless service and the protection of the innocent.
Okay, the dedication you made to summarize even the pattern of which Jedi and Force user felt the imbalance first???? Fucking. Legendary. You made the line alone a lot more depressing and I grew up with crying over Rex hesitating to hurt Ahsoka.
The original battlefront 2 cut scene was such a brilliant end addition
Still wish it wasn’t the inhibitor chips making them do this tho. It adds far more to the story. Clones were abused and abused but they also had close friends of the Jedi that they felt had to kill. Yet others disobeyed them
yes yes yes, im really happy that that was at the end. one of the best Star wars games of all time.
Facts!!!! ❤❤❤
I can not imagine how many hours went into editing, research and watching to get this video as seamless as it is, well done bro
I really need to see a fireside chat between Luke & Ahsoka at some point about all this.
It’s so amazing how after nearly 20 years, order 66 is a story that can keep developing and keep going in a depth that is yet untapped. Such a simple concept but it’s range really is impactful
4:02 no one talking about how smooth that transition was?
George Lucas wanted to create a modern mythology that echoes our own world and our own sufferings, to expiate it through fiction, hope and heroism. Order 66 is among the most villainous acts ever performed on screen. It's the greatest level of treason, it spans the entire galaxy, and it annihilates an order known throughout it by most of its inhabitants since thousands of years. Jedis have been the beacon of political values our real world hold dearly : peace, democracy, freedom. The Sith embody everything that corrupts us : greed, power, anger, despair.
Order 66 echoes our very real tragedies as a species : the world wars, the genocides, the atomic bombs, the countless death in battles and massacres. If the scene hurts you, it's not because jedi dies, it's because the entire world dies through this scene. George intended his saga to be a metaphor for our suffering as well as our hopes and ideals. I think he achieved it very well. Star Wars is about how Evil is defeated by Goodness, how Democracy prevails over Tyranny, how individual deeds of heroism can bring back balance and force out tyrants.
Also how having a man in power can lead to destruction. Power in general destroys all
That's because you are wrong. The Jedi represented weakness and stagnation. Having the power to solve a problem but not. The Republic was beyond corrupt and ineffective and had lost any and all moral authority (so had the Jedi). Only the vision of one enlightened individual, Darth Sidious, could bring the galaxy back from the brink and restore order. Order 66 wasn't just necessary, it was morally correct.

So frustrating watching all the mistakes the Jedi made that allowed Order 66 to happen. Love the video! Keep the updates coming!
honestly, cal's perspective hits hardest for me. the bond that he and the clones had clearly built made the build up all the more tragic, and his reaction to it all, even after several years... i felt it. i didn't just feel sad, i actually felt cal's pain, because i was still getting over my grandparent's deaths when i first played.
It was so sad to see Cal being all friendly with the clones with me knowing what happens next. I haven’t even played the game and I’m sad 😔
It's so shocking from his perspective but I also can't help thinking of the poor brainwashed clones, treating Cal like a kid brother while at every interaction they must be thinking, hoping, praying: "Please, please, let the the Order not come. Or least not while I'm around little Cal. Please, oh please..."
And the fact that one of the clones seemed like a very close friend of his makes it even more sadder 💔💔💔
The clones being so friendly moments before the turn breaks my heart every time, they seemed like they got along so well with Cal before
Maybe i am the only one but a "Star Wars: Order 66/Protocol (Jedi)knightfall" Videogame would be insane. Maybe in the View of Anakin/Vader and even after he got his suit with the order to hunt jedis and modify our armor. The Idea would be interesting we could get again a feeling like the force Unleashed where we got a powerful character that destroyed everything that stands in the way.
The Clone high fiving Cal literally brought a lil tear to my eye. Tragic 😔
Order 66 is one of the single greatest moments in all of star wars and I will never get tired of seeing new perspectives :)
14:32 that lightsaber ignition and the reaction of the youngling got me sobbing everytime
Yikes. I’m watching this on my phone, and the clones coming in without music and only marching boots was kind of terrifying, and I’ve seen that scene many, many times. Great job. The whole thing was great, but that scene… I know someone else already mentioned it, but you made an excellent choice. 👏🏻
Even if you were the thousandth, it's still appreciated!
The Star Wars Battlefront II cutscene at the end was a big surprise to me!
*A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.*
No matter how many times I see it, that scene of Anakin preparing to attack the younglings just hits me in my core. It just shows the brutality of his mission, and how far he was willing to go.
This video only further convinces me of John Williams's talents as a composer. Like God damn, the pure emotion in the music as the Jedi, once keepers of the peace, are brutally slaughtered by an army they thought was on their side. Williams sure knew what he was doing.
I tried making one myself but I really prefer this one, very well put together.
Damn, these four final episodes of Clone Wars really were pure cinema. Always giving me the whole roller coaster of emotions every time i watch them.
2:10 it was such a great mistake not to inform Ashoka about Sidious's true identity when she could've spread the word after the Fall of Order.
Edit: they probably didn't know that Palpatine is Sidious at this point but storming the cancellor's office instead of informing the public, police, senate or other jedi that they are ruled by a Sith was stupid..
"I'm sorry citizen"
Windu never really like Ahsoka did he.
@@CT-7567- good thing anakin got rid of mace, pretty sure nobody liked him since ep 1
@@katrez. yeah.
"This was actually your great trial. And your a stronger person for it."
No apologies for hunting Ahsoka down and arresting her lol.
@@katrez. hes still alive
They even made somewhat a movie but isn't really a movie about him still being alive
@@CT-7567- People are WAY to hard on Mace and the Jedi for that. Think about it from their perspective. Letta turns up dead, there is footage of Ahsoka using her hands as if she was using the force. They have no knowledge of Bariss. Then some troopers are incapacitated, Ahsoka escapes and gets her lightsabers. Then, whilst she is on the run, some more clones mysteriously are found dead. Killed by a lightsaber, and there are only two Jedi in the building (to their knowledge), one of which is looking for the rouge. Then she is seen conspiring with a terrorist, then assaults the military police with said terrorist (this alone is worthy of conviction), and finally, is found in possession of the very weapon that was used to blow up the temple. And in the inconvenient fact that they literally couldn't do anything without inciting riots and speculation of a Jedi betrayal, and their course of action really isn't that much of a bad one.
The absolute saddest part for me are the jedi who didn't survive and never knew why their forces turned against them
Imagine a single piece of media with all canon released video content like this in order?! Probably would take a week to watch lol.
I love seeing the different perspectives of order 66 and the aftermath. Jedi and clone alike.
The clone troopers marching without the music is more chilling
This is perfection. The ominous marching of the clones without music was such a good touch.
OMG....This is amazing! This must have taken so much time and hard work! Even seeing these scenes before, separately, the way you combined them so it showed order 66 in real time from multiple perspectives...I'm in awe.
I'm not going to lie, it definitely brought up an emotional response...I don't think I've ever teared up for Star Wars before, excepting when Ashoka Tano left the Jedi order.
This should get a reward of some kind
Thanks bro. So much respect
This is easily one of the best supercuts of Order 66 I've ever seen. There's actual effort to the edits, makes it seem almost like a short film.
It’s so hard to imagine all of this happening just within seconds of eachother… this truly makes this the most tragic moment in movie history
Imagine if ashoka had shown up a minute earlier before mace sent Anakin to Palpatine. I'm not sure exactly what would have happened but there's no doubt she would have sensed something was very wrong with him and would have spoken to him in person after that meeting. Ashoka was the anchor on the other side Anakin needed to keep him grounded in reality while his relationship with padme was the main driving factor in him falling. Who knows exactly what would have happened but I'm willing to bet that she would have been perfectly willing to help hide his marriage after what she had been put through at the hands of the jedi AND that she could have kind of jumpstarted his brain and reminded him of what truly mattered. Padme gave him the speech about fighting for the wrong side and his faith in the republic was clearly faltering, Ashoka would have given him the other side of it. "Maybe this side were on isn't so good, I experienced that myself. But look at me, after everything they put me through I still came back because I know it's the right thing to do, to fight for the innocent and protect them. For all their flaws, thats what were supposed to do as jedi. Open your eyes Anakin, this IS how you save padme!" Really remind him of what a Jedi is supposed to be regardless of what is happening around him, remind him of all the people he saved and all the good he had done for people. The want to do good in him was gone after everything those supposedly close to him had done and she could have refocused him. At least enough so that padme wasn't the only thing he could think about. I'm not even sure obi wan would have saved him. Obi wan might have been able to do this too, but I think regardless his mind was too set on ending the war and he was too deep into the dogma to truly change Anakins mind. I truly believe only Ashoka could have 100 percent stopped his fall. For all padme would want to help she'd be useless, Ashoka knew exactly what Anakin was feeling
She would've tried to stop him like Obi-Wan did and they probably would've fought.
Yoda referring to Ashoka as “Padawan” after Windus jab at her is probably the most upbeat party of this entire scenario. I really kind of hope we get a flashback or something in the Ashoka show/ next season of tales of the Jedi that shows Ashoka somehow reconvening with yoda some years after Knightfall. An emotional conversation, it will be.

@@faridhaikal6713 I forgot about that mission.
Operation Knightfall.
best bet we're gonna see it again in Andor, too
Fans: *YESSSSSSSS*
Book of Boba Fett: Wanna see me do it again?
Smooth editing, sound and vision, this is an epic look at the most tragic moments in the saga.
doesnt matter which scene, which context or anything. a single clip steals me a tear
i have watched a lot of videos about the order 66 but this is definitely the best out there! this is the one that makes you feel the importance of this, feel all the drama and pain, and it's the only way to tell that everything will be different from now on. love this one❤️
When Yoda talks to Ashoka, and we see his eyes, they are so expressive. It is like he knows what is going to happen (which I'm sure he was) and wanted Ashoka to be the barricade to block Anakin's fall. That moment when Ashoka held her tongue signaled the end of the Jedi. It was their last shot of prevention...
Aww, poor Padmé. Her standing by the window gets to me everytime.
A job well done xVoidxHunter, I wish more TH-camrs had your editing sensibilities. Perhaps I can inform the chancellor of your creativity.
Send the Chancellor my regards if you see him, for the Republic
Honestly, with all the information we now have about the prequel era. It truly is ironic how the Jedi were overconfident of themselves as much as the Empire were with their power. At this point in time, they knew that that the clones were made by the enemy. They knew About the attempt/initiative Fives took to help bring down the rising emperor. They also knew about Ashoka’s past and when given the opportunity to return, she denied and continued to play the freelancer role.
Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious is by far the worst and monstrous individual to ever exist in the Star Wars Universe.
I've already voted for him, why do you keep agitating me to vote for him?
So frustrating watching all the mistakes the Jedi made that allowed Order 66 to happen. Love the video! Keep the updates coming!
I am becoming more and more convinced that the droid army was nothing more than planned training. The clones became superior combatants to the machines with the war and the Jedi were so busy facing them day and night that they got used to following the same fighting pattern... Let's say that the firing configuration of a B1 droid is designed so that over time, the Jedi will become accustomed to it and be effective in responding to its attacks... but when facing a clone, they are patterned consciously and absolutely different from their CIS counterparts. They lagged behind and by the time the clones struck, this coupled with the surprise factor, they were overwhelming. The Jedi were simply stunned to see their defense that had been so effective during the war now falling apart. Not to mention that the Clones had plenty of time to watch their generals, study and learn everything from them. I think the droids, especially the B1's attacking in massive numbers, were meant to prepare the Clones and stunt the Jedi knights.... for this very moment of Order 66.
A masterful move if you ask me.
Oh my heart this is beyond tragic but awesome
We were made to love the clones just for them to mass murder at the end. What a great job they did very impress
Annakin and the 501st walkin up to the temple without the imperial march theme hits SO MUCH HARDER BRO
I have a feeling with Hayden returning again for Ashoka we’re going to have to update this video again with more flashbacks
Even as a grown man seeing this brings tears to my eyes, Star Wars is within my top 5 loves, them being my God, my dogs, the Disney parks, Star Wars, and Christmas
Fallen Order really got the vibe of The Clone Wars. It's clear how close Kal was with his troopers.
Order 66 has to be one of the most impactful moments in modern cinematography. The music, the camera work, the atmosphere, the sadness, all of it was already enough to make it into a classic seane but years of building on top of that with shows and games like the clone wars, the mandalorian, Kenoby, the bad batch, jedi fallen order, ,... have served to make this the best and most impactrful scene I have ever seen in any movie (in my personal experiance at least)
Oh my gosh... this vid is amazing. Thank you for that.
I had a tear in my eyes after "Master Skywalker, they're too many of them. What should we do?" At this point in this video i had to cry
A tear from laughter I hope. That padawan always cracks me up. Ruins the entire sequence.
I love how you did the Ashoka and Rex part later on without any music it really hit hard good work
This was well edited. I appreciate the work and research into the timing of all the clips. It was cool to see it all together
Damn that scene with the the kids still gives me chills, right when that lightsaber sound hits. Until that moment i stilll hope he chooses the light over dark.
This is absolutely amazing! Seeing Order 66 from so many different perspectives really hits the feels hard. Great job on this video; brilliant idea and execution. Sub'd! 👍
I like this collection of Order 66 scenes and how you put it together. I hope they do more scenes about this because there is so much still there!
I told myself that I would subscribe if battlefront 2 was in this video. And this video really met my expectations. You've just earned a new subscriber.
I always enjoy giving BF2 a shoutout, grew up with that game
Checkout the 501st Journal video too if you really enjoy that game as i did
The music overlay from the bad batch scene into revenge of the sith was really good👍 If possible you might want to find another military march sound that use a more flat surface, and perhaps tune it down slightly👍
As much as I love the memes about the younglings it’s still so sad to watch
True.
Then I see Jett Lucas get blasted and it all gets better.
I like how they used the audio from the films. Not only did they use the audio from Sidious, anakin and mace, but they even got the same audio of mundi when he mentions removing the chancellor from office.
When Cal yelled, "MASTER", I shed a tear and struggled holding in the rest. Idk why, but with him it's more heart breaking 💔😢
This video was a huge emotional rollercoaster. Thank you for making this, it was great :D
The Battlefront 2 footage at the end was the icing on the cake
The "master skywalker, there's too many of them, what are we going to do?" will get me every time. That poor kid.
2:26 "I'll tell him myself when I see him".
That's one of those awful moments where the character should just have said it then and there.
Like Ned Stark telling Jon "the next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother" and then going off down south to get his head chopped off before ever getting to tell him. Should have told him then and there. Boy, that would have changed things.
And Ahsoka should have told Yoda that Maul spilled the beans on Palps, rather than waiting to tell Anakin in person. Would have really thrown a wrench in Palpatine's plans.
This cuts makes me so sad, but it's insane how you put it together.
This is wonderfully done, well done!
I get a little teary eyed every time I see Order 66 scenes...until it gets to the Ki-Adi Mundi scene where i laugh hysterically...then i go back to being sad.
This really hammered home the horror of Order 66! Well done!
Great video. ROTS is quite possibly my favorite movie of the whole series. I also really like how it seems Sidious contacts Cody first and does so personally. As if to ensure Obi Wan was the first taken out
