    It's so crazy to realize how scared Maul is of Palpatines plan. He orchestrated a whole war just to kill Anakin so that Vader won't get created. When he falls after the battle with Ahsoka and begs them to die, is so powerful and elevated to another level by Sam Witwer's terrific performance

    There are plenty of arcs I skip on a rewatch, but you need those early episodes the first time around to grow to love Rex and Ahsoka and the other characters, which means the big arcs that everyone loves will have more meaning and we care more.

    • @TehIdiotOne
      @TehIdiotOne ปีที่แล้ว +27

      I do agree, however, i do think there is a case to be made for an "essential" watchthrough for more casual viewers, beacuse getting through those early seasons can be tough, but also beacuse Clone Wars+Rebels is so essential for the live action shows nowadays. But as you say, you don't get that full appreciation of Rex and Ahsoka without watching it all.

    • @acdragonrider
      @acdragonrider ปีที่แล้ว +14

      As a more hardcore buff though, some of us like to follow the specifics of the war like how the war develops over the years. How non major planets (Ryloth, mandalore, Onderon, Kiros, saleucami, Rodia, Pantora) are impacted. The drain on the republic’s economy and abortive attempts at diplomacy leading to deregulation of the banks and further creation of clones. Later Palpatine taking control of the banks.
      Not to mention just every war arc depicting how the republic and separate fight. That’s “my juicy” when I think of the clone wars. I think of the domino squad episodes. Umbara. Geonosis. Saleucami. Ryloth. But my favorite genre of film and show is war. Band of brothers , pacific, fury. Saving private Ryan. 1917. We were soldiers. Black hawk down. List goes on.
      Maybe average viewers don’t find these things important or as interesting as Sith and Anakin/Obi wan ahsoka but all of the things I mentioned were what I cared about most.

    • @Keanine
      @Keanine ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You might be right, but I'm someone who first watched Clone Wars just before Season 7 released, and I followed a list of essential episodes that skipped 99% of the fluff. I also skipped the movie because I saw that in the cinema and I couldn't put myself through that again despite it being an essential
      But my point being that I grew to love the Clones, Ashoka and everyone all the same, despite watching only a couple episodes from season 1 and a couple arcs from season 2. It's possible I didn't have the same attachment as others, but I was shedding tears during this arc when it aired so I think it hooked me well enough

    A great comment from someone that I saw on TH-cam which told what this show meant for me and many other people:
    This wasn't just a show
    It was a childhood
    An upbringing
    The journey of a family, the journey of
    brothers
    The brutality of war
    The hope that there are better things to come
    Bloodshed
    Death for a greater cause
    A story of darkness
    Of light
    Of sacrifice
    Of love
    Of loss
    Of grief
    Of hope.
    Goodbye, my oldest and dearest of friends. The Force is with you. Always.

When Ahsoka took Rex's helmet off, I felt what Rex was feeling, because I've watched every episode of the Clone Wars and grew up with these guys and it hurt to see Order 66 take a hold of them.

    I would lie if I didn’t say I cried a few times while watching this video. Not only does it get me nostalgic about where my life was during this arc (the Covid era) but also for the clone wars and the prequel trilogy. This arc perfectly adds to and wraps up the clone wars series while also giving more background and character building for the Star Wars canon story as a whole. Everything in this arc is perfect, from Ashoka’s meeting with maul and the background music of Duel of the Faiths, to the interconnection to the prequel trilogy. Truly I believe this is some of the best Star Wars content to ever come out, and I get emotional watching you guys get to experience it for the first time. This ending to the arc and the justice that was done by the writers and Dave Filoni is what made me decide to keep pursuing a film career. The ability to garner so many emotions from the fans while also receiving praise for the magic that was brought to screen, the magic that George Lucas brought to us all those years and ago. Channels like yours give me such heavy emotional feelings, I hope one day I’ll be able to put out something that is loved and talked about and envokes emotion like this series did for me one day. Thank you Holden for this journey, and may the force be with you, always.
    PS. Take your time to take this series in and let it sit. But afterwards I do believe Rebels is also essential to Star Wars and particularly Dave Filonis vision. So many of the characters are also set up in this arc though it might go unnoticed to someone who hasn’t seen the show yet. I was late on rebels as my friends always described it as kidish. Though unlike clone wars I think it becomes essential viewing and less kiddish a lot earlier, about after season 1 and the story is also a lot more chronological. The great story telling from this arc and the care given is also felt in that series and I’d say for more of it. That is also high ranking Star Wars content I’d say even better than the Mandolirian, it also dives into the story of mandalore and the people more, so it would be best watched before mando season 3. That’s all from me Holden and Jen, love you guys!

Clone cadets is still my favorite episode of the show and I cry every time watching it because of how much I related to each member and knew that they were probably all going to die. And we see that happen with the kamino episodes. Rookies, citadel.
      The whole saleucami episode with clones getting murdered in action and cut changing Rex’s mind on what it means serving in the war
      Ryloth: the compassion of two clones as they witness the cost of war and show their love for a little girl. Anakin tutoring ahsoka ❤
      Hidden Enemy: the Jedi and republic did keep the clones enslaved as nigh on child soldiers. Hell yes, Karen Traviss.

      The intro to Hondo
      Mortis

    I shed a tear every single time I revisit this. It’s such a masterpiece of an ending. Tying into Episode III perfectly. That last shot of Vader walking away in the reflection of the clone trooper helmet is the best singular shot of the whole show.

    Thank you to every member on TH-cam and Patreon for supporting them so much that they felt they could release this for free for everyone. I really don’t have the money to be able to support but I’m thankful for everyone that does because they absolutely deserve it💜

    This is the best moment in all of Star Wars in my opinion, only watched The Clone Wars in 2020 and it has become the thumbnail of Star Wars for me

    I'm so glad you guys made it this far. And I really appreciate your honest reactions throughout this series. These last 2 episodes were so chilling. What this show did for the clones in this whole series is paint them in a more positive light, which is why it hurts to see the inevitable betrayal

  • @iKozak99

    They definitely finished the show with a bang. Killer of an arc

  • @Natee178

  • @captainvader921
    @captainvader921 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I love Maul in this arc. The way he talks about Darth Sidious taking over the galaxy, and Anakin becoming his apprentice, if you didn't know, this makes him sound like a mad man. Ahsoka sure as heck thinks so. But WE know that he's telling the truth. We know what happens in Revenge of the Sith, so it's scary seeing everyone else not understand what Maul is talking about. It's amazing how we know what will happen, yet we're still at the edge of our seat

    Thank you guys for sticking it out! This arc was a fantastic wrap to Clone Wars. Something I loved so much when I was younger and even to this day. Even now it brings tears to my eyes when Ahsoka sets those sabers down. Looking forward to watching Rebels with you guys!

    @longshotfilms1 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Every time i watch this string of episodes. I tear up, honestly. Clones wars was my childhood and I always thought of the clones and Jedi as “together forever”. When I watched the movies as a teen, order 66 just always had an extremely emotional impact on me. Anyway I’m so happy you guys decided to post the patreon content on your channel. Keep up the awesome work!

    @ralphyboy3636 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The ending was emotional, powerful and amazing. I laughed I cheered I cried. Rebels is equally awesome. And Jen will definitely get what she desires. You have a month before Mando starts. I'd say you better get crackin.

    • @Redjack10
      @Redjack10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would love to see this but not in live action. Do it in this animation style and you’ve got 19 years between ROTS and A New Hope to play with. They can adapt some of the incredible Vader comics and introduce Doctor Aphra, and we could get a lot more Boba Fett, Black Krrsantan, Cad Bane etc.

  • @genericgamer2836
    @genericgamer2836 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    For the love of everything, do Rebels. It's a lot more consistent and mature than the early seasons of Clone Wars, and has a lot of info for certain live action shows past and future.
    EDIT: 44:50 Rebels is definitely not as kiddish as rebel, or at the very least it for sure doesn't feel overdone, imo. Id rather watch the first season of Rebels than the first season of Clone Wars to give some perspective.

  • @mdacostatuff7762
    @mdacostatuff7762 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Soooo glad you guys stuck through it! Truly an amazing show, and at the time I saw this arc as some of the greater star wars content created. EVER. period. Also would really reccommend watching tales of the jedi at some point soon as a short little couple of reactions! Sooo good.

  • @eliamruiz8657
    @eliamruiz8657 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I know y'all are watching rebels for Patreon. I would love that at the end of it you would make a compilation of highlights from you watching of rebels for those of us that can't afford to join Patreon.

    @zeke1835 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Star Wars has always meant so much to me. Clone Wars especially as I grew up watching it. I was devastated when it was canceled and the tears wouldn't stop falling when I found out it was coming back. When the finale came out I was 17, the same age that ahsoka was in this arc. The conclusion of clone wars completed my childhood, which is why I have a never-ending respect for Dave Filoni and everybody who worked on this show. I love watching people discover this aspect of Star Wars. Loved watching you guys react to this, can't wait to see Rebels with ya'll.

  • @javierperu5452
    @javierperu5452 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It's awesome to see how powerful in the force Ahsoka has become under Anakin's tutelage being one of three jedi to sense order 66. It's so heartbreaking to see Ahsoka have a hard time letting go of her lightsaber to sell her faked death because it's the only thing of her master she has left that was given to her knowing he can not be sensed with the force. In the Ahsoka novel she has tried many times to reach out to Anakin only to sense the dark side of the force not knowing he had fallen to become darth vader. It also adds to when we see her explaining to Mando in the Mandalorian season 2 episode 5 that she once knew a great jedi who fell to the dark side because of his attachments

  • @PaulGuy
    @PaulGuy ปีที่แล้ว

    This is the best Star Wars story I've seen. It hurts every time, but it's so satisfying nonetheless. The characters' loyalties, the mistakes the characters make because of their biases, the amazing action scenes, and the level of care the production crew put into making it are beyond anything else.

  • @danieldollison2188
    @danieldollison2188 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Everyone telling them to watch Rebels, they already are on Patreon, actually about half done I think. Hopefully we'll all get to see it like we did this at some point. Rebels is a big foundational help for upcoming Ahsoka series.

  • @1PuffWonder
    @1PuffWonder ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember commenting when you originally announced that you would not be continuing clone wars on the channel that no matter what, you need to watch the last four episodes. Now you see why, the animation, story telling, and cinematography is on a completely different level. This is the new standard I have set for animation.

  • @Blackwing2040

I have been waiting for y’all’s reaction. So happy you got to join the hype and emotions with us all! Y’all are amazing! ❤️. 22:43 to relive one of the most powerful moments in this series.

    Ahsoka had the best Jedi path, she was discovered by Plo Koon who always kept an eye on her in some way, she was taught by Yoda like all the younglings and then would be thrust into WAR at the side of two of the greatest Jedi Knights of their era. It was her Destiny to become the Jedi should would be.

  • @BrandonRaulston
    @BrandonRaulston ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember when this episode debuted, I saw something online and it was a picture of Vader holding Ahsoka’s lightsaber in the snow. The caption said something along the lines of, “Vader was very detached from everyone and he loved and showed no remorse for those around him. Vader would never go back to that wreckage to see that blue lightsaber…but Anakin…Anakin NEEDED to go to that wreckage.” Everytime I think of clone wars now, I think of this final episode and just the story of Anakin and his relation to Ahsoka. Clone Wars is something I got to grow up with and was the thing that actually introduced me to Star Wars. 21 year old junior in college and I’ve loved Star Wars since I was little. Thank y’all so much for letting me experience this for the first time again.

    I agree with Holden on this one, I always found that Ahsoka was being unfair to obi wan in that situation - just because she’s no longer in the order it doesn’t mean the other Jedi should just abandon there posts.

    The Final arc makes the whole show worth it plus we get the clones and Ashoka shine. Ashoka is the most important Jedi of them all. The final shot of Vader's reflection in the clone helmet painted in Ashoka's face is a PERFECT ending. The 3 pillars of Clone Wars together!

    The duel and the cooperation between Ahsoka and Maul are both amazing. She's no longer a Jedi and he's no longer a Sith, and they're still adversaries, but neither can get through this arc without the other.
