Krell is hated for the exact opposite reason that Plo Koon is loved. “Why General? Why kill your own men?” “Because I can. Because you fell for it. Because you're inferior.” Vs “But we’re just clones. We’re expendable” “Not to me”
That there is SO sad when you take Order 66 into account. Krell probably could have survived the order if he wasn't found out and killed during the Umbara campaign. Poor Plo Koon though, shot by his own men while flying a starfighter. The clones might not be expendable to him, but they also didn't have a choice in the matter. The whole inhibitor chip thing is tragic, honestly.
@@TheTrytix that’s why I wonder what they thought of after the inhibitor chip was deactivated? In rebels we can see Wolffe, who was Plo Koon’s commander, and his inhibitor chip was deactivated. So what happened to him? Did he hate himself? Did he hate the Empire? A bit of both?
@@Boba_Fett_Bounty_Hunter Wolffe was definitely not his old self in Rebels. I wonder if his paranoia was partially due to a feeling of guilt over Order 66.
2:58 The umbarans can breathe air, they just have helmets that pump in air full of airborne simulants to keep them drugged up and energized in battle It’s why later on in the arc, Rex mentions an umbaran ‘not having any juice left in him’
3:59 I also used to think that the Umbarans can't breathe air but the helmets actually pump the soldiers with a chemical that boosts adrenaline and aggression
8:40 Keep in mind, "This Clone" that you mentioned was Tup. Incase you forgot, Tup is the same clone that had his chip activated prematurely. He the proceeds to Execute Master Tiplar, one again, point blank to the face! That's ether one incredible coincidence or some next level foreshadowing from Filoni.
the battle of Umbara was the equivalent of the Vietnam War to the clones since the Umbarens blended in with a lot of their surroundings and were extremely hard to see especially with all the fog that the planet is covered in
I wouldn't say it was equivalent. The VC and NVA didn't just blend into the surroundings, but normal civilians as well, so you couldn't tell who was the enemy. And the clones were gaining land, not gaining people. Imagine if they did though. Like, if they did the Onderon arc, but with Clones against the locals or something like that. That would be brutal. Edit: I realised I sounded like an armchair general writing this.
I have three.favorite parts from these episodes. 1. Rex saying "These are men" why defending the clones 2. Dogma being the one to kill Krell 3. The clones heartbreak after they killed each other.
Idk why but that episode (Season 2?) Where they just lift him off the wall and shows them falling gracefully while Rex is flailing and screaming is so funny to me. Like he's so serious, but only when he's in control XD.
I remember throughout this arc I was conflicted about Krell for the first half of his appearances, I was conflicted between hating him and thinking that he's just a really strict Jedi. Honestly that's how I think the clones would have felt, either to think that their new general was just bad or really strict
actually the umbarans can breath air..i think the helmets just dispense some sort of battle drug to make them fight better..not only because there is a umbaran senator walking around on coruscant with no helmets..but also the clones, obi wan, anakin, and pong krell walk around without helmets no problem
You have it exactly right the Umbaran warriors pump a battle enhancing stimulant to make them more violent, remove hesitancy, and improve focus on the task at hand
I was about to say the same, Why would the Umbarans need environmental suits on their own planets. Plue we clearly see Umbaran senators in other clone arcs breathing the same air as other species.
This whole arc was amazing start to finish! You could really see the creative team was given a "blank check" to go all out with season 3 and beyond. The amount of violence and adult themes in this arc, and later ones, goes to show this cartoon, while targeted at kids, was really for us adults who wanted to see more clone wars fights. The first couple minutes when the invasion first starts, and all the music just stops, leaving you with the gunships engines and blaster fire, will always give me chills. The calm before the storm.
The reason that Umbarans wear those strange space suit looking outfits in the lore is actually because the gas inside is a mixture of stimulants and drugs to heighten their abilities in combat. Literally every warrior on their side was the equivalent of a weaponized meth head on hyper speed crack. No wonder they seemed so crazy.
So the canon explanation for the size of his lightsabers is that he was wielding 2 grainy sabers which have bigger handles and blades for bigger people. Where yoda used a secondary blade, which is small than you main saber, because of his size
(Correct me if I’m wrong) I’m pretty sure a Yoda’s lightsaber is known as a Shoto-lightsaber, which is much shorter than a standard lightsaber. And I think Krell uses something akin to a lightsaber-club/lightclub
@@evanlight2550 yes Yoda’s blade is actually meant to be a secondary saber to your main saber. They are typical smaller and lighter, and the handle is smaller. But with Yoda’s small stature it fit him well
I'm not sure how well known this is, but in Star Wars the blaster bolt color is determined by the quality of ammo used. Red was cheapest, weakest, and most common. Blue was more powerful, and often used for anti-armor/machinery. Green was much more powerful than the other two, but also too expensive to outfit most armies. This is why some of the Umbaran shots actually go through clones, like at 4:20 and 9:39
When i first saw Krell i loved him. I thought him being ruthless was cool but when he started threatining the clones i really hated him. The way he just killed them without remorse was just horrible to watch. Ngl i think i started to cry :P
Dude, the scene where it was revealed that Krell forced the 212th and 501st to kill each other was… heartbreaking. Especially since it cost the life of Waxer, one of the OGs from the first seasons. I already disliked him but at least it seemed like he was using them to get the job done, whether it cost lives or not, but that was the last straw (just like with the Clones)
My girlfriend and I had been watching the series (me for the 4th time her for the first) I was so excited for her to get to this episode, she cried her eyes out when they took their helmets off 😩👌🔥 Classic clone wars.
8:40 you can tell that whenever Cartoon Network came knocking to make sure Filoni wasn't going too far, he always had a playlist of select episodes that were more family friendly, and kept the rest of the episodes (which most of which are seen as some of the best imo) hidden in the back closet and pretending they didn't exist.
8:00 Gotta gain their trust. Plus it really was wasting time for him. Letting a couple of clones die to wildlife would not get him favor from Dooku. But forcing a battalion to fail to capture a key military installation or kill other clones would.
I got goosebumps when I saw the miniature!.. What an arc.. One and only. Everything works here for me (the plot, VISUALS, music, mood, themes, characters and their development)..
holy shit, I just noticed that if you look closely at Krells lightsaber in the scene where he puts his blade up to fives face you can actualy see that his hilt is folded and that it unfolds when he ignites both blades.
You don't really get to appreciate all the hard work that the creators put into this show to make it so amazing and detailed, so thanks for making these videos, absolutely love them, please keep making more!
For those who didn’t catch it, the clone who got attacked from behind and threw the Umbaran from behind to his front before shooting him in the face, was Tup
"That's so brutal, jeez this is a kids show" Nah it's not lol That being said, great vid, the fqct that we see Barriss and Ahsoka in the beginning is incredible, adds a lot more to her later betrayal, I never noticed! Also Pong doesn't specifically hate clones, he just thinks their inferior and enjoys killing inferiors, hence why he killed those vulture thingys, to demonstrate his superiority and let out some dark side steam
@@DMMINO493 not really true ngl The only thing changing sith later seasons is updated animation, graphics and character work. And creators don't just decide to make their show better, it's a natural progress. There's no need to reduce Clone Wars to the term "kids show" A kids show is a show primarily made for kids, often exclusively made for kids, and Clone Wars ended up being neither of these things
It has a pg rating and premiered on a mainly kids channel. So yes it is rated to where kids can watch is so I guess a “kids show” however it’s pretty dark for a kids show if you ask me
Some parts of the show like the Geonosian brain worms or the Zabrak zombies were pretty disturbing, but the part in Season 4 where Talzin tortures Dooku with the voodoo doll is when I realized how ridiculous it is that this show is rated 6+.
Dude I thought that Krell was such a badass when they first introduced him to the show. He kept making weird decisions and I kept thinking why does he have it out for the clones. Then I saw the final episode of this arc and it all made sense. Such a pos but such a cool character as well with his dual dual-bladed lightsabers
I just finished rewatching clone wars about a week ago this was the first arch that I realized how good the graphics were, and the phase two armor started around then.
About the guy who trips and falls dramatically. I imagine that in the heat of battle, when you probably don't entirely know what it is that just hit you. So he may have just tripped but in the moment he probably wasn't sure if he just got shot. Imagine the panic. I'd probably do the same in all honesty.
I also recently rewatching the umbaran arc and it was still as heartbreaking and hate filled it's even worse when I knew what krell was doing. Also another thing that I realized was that hardcase sacrificed himself so that his brothers could live to fight another day, just for Jesse and fives to be court marshalled and executed by the soldiers they fought for. (If they did it) Gut punching realization. *It's a KiDs ShOw* bs

They actually do have the Geneva Convention in Star Wars. It’s called like the Yavin Accords or something. Obi Wan mentions it in the unfinished Crystal Crisis arc
Pong krell uses two double bladed saber staffs. That is why the blades are so much thicker and why the handles are much longer. They are very similar to the saber staff of the Jedi temple guards.
Interesting fact about clone armor (Im pretty sure from what I remember. I might be wrong): Near the start of the war they wore Phase 1 Clone Armor. Very sturdy and strong, so when a clone was shot by a blaster bolt, it'd spread the energy across the body. That would save a lot of clones, as the shot wouldn't exactly kill but instead knock out clones. But it was very uncomfortable. So in the Phase 2 armor, it was made more comfortable, though at a cost of protection. Clones in Phase 2 are probably dead when they shot. Oh and Phase 2 had more modification abilities and better tech, I believe.
Ion cannons don’t k usually kill but at a high enough power the can with I-9 disrupters from rebels. Come to think of it, that probably what happened to Zeb’s species, so ouch.
Umbarans ARE actually able to breathe air, as seen in Palpatine's close associate Sly Moore, and senator Mee Deechi. The masks and gases that are in them are made to help the soldiers stay awake, basically like a constant supply of gaseous coffee, so they would be more effective in battle and be able to carry out their surprising ambushes.
From the ep the main memory is when Rex showed no mercy when he shot the enemy not once but twice @ 16:50 that was one of the most savage moments in clone wars😂😂
The crazy part to me is all the enemies are designed with their faces visible. It's one thing to kill droids or even clones on screen, but that's next level.
16:42 In this scene Rex says that the Caterpillar thing ran out of juice, and this guy also ran out of juice (while shooting the surviving umbaran). *coughs in geneva*
Pretty Brutal how in 17:27 we see the rocket launcher fall beside Rex. There were at least 3 clones prior who died holding that same one. We saw that one guy get wounded from the caterpillar thing and Rex gave another trooper the rocket launcher. Rex woke up when it was like pretty much his turn to die if he had to take the weapon
The first time I saw Pong Krell I didn’t watch all the episode so I thought he was so cool. A Jedi with not one but two dual-blade lightsabers was super cool. I already loved Maul so now that I knew a “good guy” could have one I was so hyped
If anyone really wants to know, Head Hunter has a counter for all the deaths in this arc. Actually it's the entire season 4 of the clone wars but you can watch the part for just this arc if you want.
Slowly over the course of the episodes you can see the effect of krell on rex and the clones especially with executing the umbaran fighters and the wildlife. 10/10 episode
7:30 At first sight i loved Krell, Mostly because he reminded me of Grevious and that was cool, but once I saw his character of how he treats his men i instantly just hated him.
He’s similar to how Grevious treats his B1’s, the difference is, the B1’s are quite literally made to be expendable and half their reason is just for comedic relief, Grevious just further ads to it This guys just a POS
9:27 I actually take martial arts and the funny thing is, that is how you actually roll in real life, he tucks his head in, rolls over his shoulder. literally better than me
FINALLY OMG IM SO FXING EXITED bro micheal i love your videos, i love ur content and what you think of the star wars universe i think i can say confidently your the most relateable prson on youtube for me, keep up the great work, and know youll always have a fan here 😘
At the moment 06:41 the shots of the umbrano closest to the screen go to different places than the gun is pointing, like without precision, the gun is pointed forward and the shot comes out halfway. Very rough kk.
In fact, the Umbrians can breathe without helmets (otherwise they could not have evolved) the gas in their helmets is actually a mixture of different gas to dope them in combat
Also you may have noticed Pong Krell’a lightsabers have a deeper sounding hum instead of the usual one so it’s a nice detail that they added in to add more diversity to the lightsabers.
The umbarans can actually breathe there. The gas they're breathing in are stimulants to increase their performance in battle. I think it numbs pain, increases aggression, and dulls fear.
When I was a kid, I was really scared while watching the episode and honestly after growing up and rewatching it. I see why I was so scared. Clones were dying left to right and to an extent it felt like I was with the clones and getting gunned down by what seems to be a technologically superior force.
8:50 that clone that through that Umbaran and blasted him was Tup who’s control chip would later malfunction and he’d go on to be the first clone to execute order 66 prematurely. If that Umbaran had been more successful Fives might still be alive if Tup had died right then and there.
7:27 I thought his kind of jedi were cool because he had 2 saberstaff 8:01 and the original tatic for that scene was multiple sneak attacks around that base but Krell forced them to go straight down a path with no cover 8:45 That clone is Tup the same one that killed a jedi And that Caterpillar tank has 25 gun turrets and the Battle of Umbara is the equivelant of Vietnam
So the umbarans are actually able to breath the air because they’re just humans, the reason they have those helmets, and why there was gas leaking out when fives elbowed him, and why there’s only smoke when they’re hit in the head, is because the helmet is filled with a special gas that acts like steroids. They take these normal humans and advance them for relatively cheap
Fun fact, Matthew Wood voiced many cone wars charicters , some including : general grievous, every battle droid, the senate guards , mandelorians , poggle the lesser , wat tambor and the commando droids !
Appo was in this battle, even being spoken to by Krell. He was a sergeant at the time, but was promoted to Commander in ROTS, when the 501st was divided for the Battle of Mandalore.
5:07 it looks like the one who died right on touchdown was some form of XO/CO as well, considering it looks like he was wearing a pauldron. so if so, that squad would've been sent into immediate disarray upon /landing/ simply because their CO just got absolutely fucking destroyed

He’s done a lot of these now. Nice suggestions.
They actually do have the Geneva Convention in Star Wars. It’s called like the Yavin Accords or something. Obi Wan mentions it in the unfinished Crystal Crisis arc
I need to watch those episodes again.
@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis they’re so good. It’s a shame they weren’t in season 7
Pong krell uses two double bladed saber staffs. That is why the blades are so much thicker and why the handles are much longer. They are very similar to the saber staff of the Jedi temple guards.
They look like saber club staffs to me lol combining two brutal weapons
Best Clone Wars arc! The Umbaran tech always reminded me of the Covenant weapons from Halo.
now you say it
Interesting fact about clone armor (Im pretty sure from what I remember. I might be wrong):
Near the start of the war they wore Phase 1 Clone Armor. Very sturdy and strong, so when a clone was shot by a blaster bolt, it'd spread the energy across the body. That would save a lot of clones, as the shot wouldn't exactly kill but instead knock out clones. But it was very uncomfortable.
So in the Phase 2 armor, it was made more comfortable, though at a cost of protection. Clones in Phase 2 are probably dead when they shot. Oh and Phase 2 had more modification abilities and better tech, I believe.
And then there's Rex who took the best parts of phase 2 and strapped it to his phase 1 set
Rex is like yes and no
13:06 had me actually chuckling
Krell screamed bad news when I saw him for the first time like I felt like he was in the same place as me it made me want to run and hide
3:48 I think the cannons are similar to the ion cannon on the Malevolence.
Ion cannons don’t k usually kill but at a high enough power the can with I-9 disrupters from rebels. Come to think of it, that probably what happened to Zeb’s species, so ouch.
@@MM126.90 Yep.
17:55 my man is bringing up the Geneva Convention 😭
8:45 that clone is Tup :)
Btw I think the clone that shot the Umbaran in the face when he was nearly strangled was Tup the one that had order 66 early
Umbarans ARE actually able to breathe air, as seen in Palpatine's close associate Sly Moore, and senator Mee Deechi. The masks and gases that are in them are made to help the soldiers stay awake, basically like a constant supply of gaseous coffee, so they would be more effective in battle and be able to carry out their surprising ambushes.
...Twas just coming down here to comment this. Have a like my fleet footed stranger.
The battle of umbara episodes are my favorite, the war in the dark and foggy atmosphere just has a chilling vibe to it
From the ep the main memory is when Rex showed no mercy when he shot the enemy not once but twice @ 16:50 that was one of the most savage moments in clone wars😂😂
He shit him three times actually
The crazy part to me is all the enemies are designed with their faces visible. It's one thing to kill droids or even clones on screen, but that's next level.
9:56 I wanna add that that was tup that got tackled
9:21 That's actually 3 shots.
Also, this whole arc reminded me of Vietnam.
“Umm fives the trees are speaking umbaran”
16:42 In this scene Rex says that the Caterpillar thing ran out of juice, and this guy also ran out of juice (while shooting the surviving umbaran). *coughs in geneva*
Don’t think they have that in Star Wars, but they do have the Yavin Convention.
At 5:56 when you were talking about the explosion from the Umbaran star fighter, the clone in the center of the screen gets his legs blown off. Gnarly
Holy fuck Clone Wars was alot more detailed than I remember, this arc especially. The animation is insane! The details!
Pretty Brutal how in 17:27 we see the rocket launcher fall beside Rex. There were at least 3 clones prior who died holding that same one. We saw that one guy get wounded from the caterpillar thing and Rex gave another trooper the rocket launcher. Rex woke up when it was like pretty much his turn to die if he had to take the weapon
The first time I saw Pong Krell I didn’t watch all the episode so I thought he was so cool. A Jedi with not one but two dual-blade lightsabers was super cool. I already loved Maul so now that I knew a “good guy” could have one I was so hyped
Krell ain't good
And then plot twist... he's bad dun dun dun
Pong Krell is not the only Jedi to adopt the weapon of Exar Kun. Some of the Temple Guards and Jedi Weapons Masters used them as well.
The giant unbeaten artillery is like the beaker disintegrating tech that Sabine made in Star Wars rebels
17:02
That wasn't Adi Gallia BTW. That was Stass Allie (I think) Gallia died in the Clone Wars, S5 EP 1
How she die
@@riaingalligan8461 Gallia was fighting Savage Opress whilst Obi-Wan fought Maul and she ended up being killed by Savage during their fight.
12:40 thats what inspired Thermal Imploders, they go out then suck back in and release a massive shockwave
If anyone really wants to know, Head Hunter has a counter for all the deaths in this arc. Actually it's the entire season 4 of the clone wars but you can watch the part for just this arc if you want.
Slowly over the course of the episodes you can see the effect of krell on rex and the clones especially with executing the umbaran fighters and the wildlife. 10/10 episode
7:30 At first sight i loved Krell, Mostly because he reminded me of Grevious and that was cool, but once I saw his character of how he treats his men i instantly just hated him.
He’s similar to how Grevious treats his B1’s, the difference is, the B1’s are quite literally made to be expendable and half their reason is just for comedic relief, Grevious just further ads to it
This guys just a POS
9:27 I actually take martial arts and the funny thing is, that is how you actually roll in real life, he tucks his head in, rolls over his shoulder. literally better than me
3:50 mandos disintegration rifle has the same thing but a lot smaller. I assume thats why they are invading so the separatists don't get that tech.
Out of ALL the episodes, the 3 episodes of the battle on Umbara will always be my favorites. Intense, emotional, justice and a lot of grit.
FINALLY OMG IM SO FXING EXITED bro micheal i love your videos, i love ur content and what you think of the star wars universe i think i can say confidently your the most relateable prson on youtube for me, keep up the great work, and know youll always have a fan here 😘
15:36 “it spins now?”
They spin now
It spins now
At the moment 06:41 the shots of the umbrano closest to the screen go to different places than the gun is pointing, like without precision, the gun is pointed forward and the shot comes out halfway. Very rough kk.
Well the guns don’t have a barrel, so who knows how accurate they are
In fact, the Umbrians can breathe without helmets (otherwise they could not have evolved) the gas in their helmets is actually a mixture of different gas to dope them in combat
...Twas just coming down here to comment this. Have a like my fleet footed stranger.
05:50 did.... Did that guy just get his arms and legs partially blown off?
Also you may have noticed Pong Krell’a lightsabers have a deeper sounding hum instead of the usual one so it’s a nice detail that they added in to add more diversity to the lightsabers.
3:40 um. You might be remembering Tony Stark's hand repulsor Canon in Infinity War, which he threatened to shoot Drax with.
It reminded me of the plasma rifle from halo
@@jangofett3147 that's also a possibility
The umbarans can actually breathe there. The gas they're breathing in are stimulants to increase their performance in battle. I think it numbs pain, increases aggression, and dulls fear.
Do they numb crippling depression?
...Twas just coming down here to comment this. Have a like my fleet footed stranger.
13:40 now we know where the Terraria devs got the idea for The Destroyer from
Just me or did anyone else see these in real time.
I did
When I was a kid, I was really scared while watching the episode and honestly after growing up and rewatching it. I see why I was so scared. Clones were dying left to right and to an extent it felt like I was with the clones and getting gunned down by what seems to be a technologically superior force.
4:08 A KIDS SHOW!!!!
8:50 that clone that through that Umbaran and blasted him was Tup who’s control chip would later malfunction and he’d go on to be the first clone to execute order 66 prematurely.
If that Umbaran had been more successful Fives might still be alive if Tup had died right then and there.
7:27 I thought his kind of jedi were cool because he had 2 saberstaff
8:01 and the original tatic for that scene was multiple sneak attacks around that base but Krell forced them to go straight down a path with no cover
8:45 That clone is Tup the same one that killed a jedi
And that Caterpillar tank has 25 gun turrets and the Battle of Umbara is the equivelant of Vietnam
So the umbarans are actually able to breath the air because they’re just humans, the reason they have those helmets, and why there was gas leaking out when fives elbowed him, and why there’s only smoke when they’re hit in the head, is because the helmet is filled with a special gas that acts like steroids. They take these normal humans and advance them for relatively cheap
The cannons that disintergrate is a bigger version of the mandalorians sniper
Those tanks at 3:50 are like the iron giant's gun om his left hand
if u watch with no volume when fives looking at the lightsaber when hes is being threatened, he just looks at it and back like tf?
12:39 "Sir a second Gun Worm has hit the Towers..."
All of his sad noises as clones keep dying is completely relatable 😭😭😭 I love the clones SO much this is so freaking sad 😭😭
Rex was showimg his origins as Alpha 17 in the Umbrara arc
Fun fact, Matthew Wood voiced many cone wars charicters , some including : general grievous, every battle droid, the senate guards , mandelorians , poggle the lesser , wat tambor and the commando droids !
Appo was in this battle, even being spoken to by Krell. He was a sergeant at the time, but was promoted to Commander in ROTS, when the 501st was divided for the Battle of Mandalore.
9:16 I didn’t point it out the first time but actually the air in the helmets is like steroid, increasing their physical strength and stamina.
Mando’s gun is like the cannons.
5:07
it looks like the one who died right on touchdown was some form of XO/CO as well, considering it looks like he was wearing a pauldron.
so if so, that squad would've been sent into immediate disarray upon /landing/ simply because their CO just got absolutely fucking destroyed
