1. Anakin struggled to defeat Hondo because he was trying to keep the tank from shooting, protect the village, kill the parrot-monkey thing and fight Hondo, probably trying not to kill him as is the Jedi way and anakin wasn't too gone during this period, plus he put some effort to get there so maybe he was tired and he did showed his superiority on combat against Hondo, but the monkey thing was annoying him... also Hondo is using one of the few weapons to counter attack lightsabers and he seems to know how to use it, so I call it a fair fight, ine that wouldn't last long without all the things that were happening at the same time 2. He snapped the pirate's freaking neck ( 0:42) you can hear the crak lol 3. I was about to say "execution" but I just noticed that the pirates were still holding and aiming their guns but anyywayss ( 2:45 ) 4.

And Hondo goes from this - calling Jedi "scum" - to being a jedi sympathiser and referring to Obi-Wan as one of his best friends by the time of *Rebels*. That's character development.

That's one of the traits I like about Hondo, because he has his own moral code he lives by. As said by Jim Cummings, Hondo's voice actor "He is a bad guy, but he isn't a bad guy 'bad guy'."

@Habba the Jutt finally someone who realizes that this is just plot armor. Even if Anakin wasn’t using the Force directly on Hondo, how was Hondo able to keep up with someone who’s one of the most skilled fighters of all time, can use the Force to augment his strength, speed, reflexes, agility, and so on, and can also anticipate your every move? Plot armor, that’s how.

Vlad the Impaler Well to be fair, he is older, crewless and out of shape, he has to rely more on charisma and wit to get what he wants. However he doesn't seem charismatic or witty, more like a overextending buffoon with half a plan...

The more clone wars I watch the more I see how combat prowess are not consistent amongst its episodes. One episode you got a jedi singlehandedly destroying a tank, the next one you have a jedi getting killed by one spear thrown from nowhere. Now I get that you got the force that tells and not tells you stuff and that Jedi have to be contemplative about how they use their powers and all that, but after 6 seasons it's obvious that it become a trope. The 'last ditch force push' that allows them to escape a ost battle though it would've also thrown their enemy off a cliff if used 20 second earlier (making them victor not refugee), or sensing an assassin ambushing them but still tripping over a log during a chase. I like the animations, and the story is cool. Its still kinda silly though. Definately not something I take very seriously.
+Ultimaton100 Uhhoh.. Yeah I can see that some writers have wrote that Jango Fett killed six jedies in pure melee combat alone.. So yeah.. I guess it's possible then though I still think that SHOULDN'T be possible, but with PIS everything is possible. :D
Also the Mandalorian Wars in ancient times, they used bladed weapons like swords and axes laced with lightsaber-proof cortosis alloys to fight Jedi. Granted most true Mandalorians aren't pirates so I can see your point in this particular case.
I still love the mutual understanding the Jedi have with Hondo. They know he's a pirate, and mostly just after wealth, and he knows they're Jedi, trying to keep the peace. No matter how many fights they had, there was always this respect of each others role.
Luke Comet Which one ? It wouldnt change anything since original trylogy was produced before clone wars u get it ? Same thing in rebels when saw gerrera was about to die but he had plot armor and couldnt be killed since he was in rogue one which Disney produced in 2015 and rebels episode with Saw came up in 2016.
Paweł Nev yes, i get that obi-wan has plot armor and stuff, but what i meant is that if they for some reason decided to kill him, than people would freak out because it would totally screw up continuity
What I loved about Clone Wars is that Anakin started off as a nice guy in season 1-3, he was somewhat loyal to the Jedi way and that was proven by saving Hondo, even though he's an frenemy. By the time of season 4-Rots, Anakin became a different person and it ain't mainly his fault.
Yeah, he was pretty chill in Season 1, with very few Dark Side moments. It wasn't until Season 2 that we started to see him get closer to his destiny, but it was still under control for the most part.
@@GooglyMoogly68 I Hope that Ahsoka, Hondo, Rex, Cody, Bo-Katan, R2, 3PO, Lux and even Ezra are sad that Anakin sacrifices himself killing Palpatine in return of Jedi. :'(
am i the only one that thinks, the clone wars is the best thing in star wars. the clone wars made anakin my fav character, the clone wars saved the old republic saga for me, the clone wars had fights that are awesome... the prequels where enjoble, originals where good but fight scenes where bad cuz of the old production. so star wars universe is a good well done universe with a few plotholes but im a fan, but clone wars is what made me a fan
I've always found Hondo so hilarious. "This effort! Is no longer! Profitable!" I think it's the voice
Well it is Jim Cummings

+Ultimaton100 Uhhoh.. Yeah I can see that some writers have wrote that Jango Fett killed six jedies in pure melee combat alone.. So yeah.. I guess it's possible then though I still think that SHOULDN'T be possible, but with PIS everything is possible. :D
Also the Mandalorian Wars in ancient times, they used bladed weapons like swords and axes laced with lightsaber-proof cortosis alloys to fight Jedi. Granted most true Mandalorians aren't pirates so I can see your point in this particular case.
+Aiderus Naim Hondo.... he crossed over to the rebels show, lots of plot twists, and crossovers haha!
+Ultimaton100 Mandalorians make sense but some coward ass pirate with an electrostaff holding off Anakin??? That's a bit much.
The Kowakian monkey really be carrying his team with some kills and destruction
nah he is just a tank camper.
I still love the mutual understanding the Jedi have with Hondo. They know he's a pirate, and mostly just after wealth, and he knows they're Jedi, trying to keep the peace. No matter how many fights they had, there was always this respect of each others role.
Anakin could of cut the tank noes off
Greentophat you mean cannon?
That's not it works
A sawed-off shotgun is still a functional shotgun.
3:16 If that farmer wasn't there, the entire Star Wars Universe would've changed.
so true
Nah since a new hope was produced before clone wars ;p
Paweł Nev it would still change things, one way or another
Luke Comet Which one ? It wouldnt change anything since original trylogy was produced before clone wars u get it ? Same thing in rebels when saw gerrera was about to die but he had plot armor and couldnt be killed since he was in rogue one which Disney produced in 2015 and rebels episode with Saw came up in 2016.
Paweł Nev yes, i get that obi-wan has plot armor and stuff, but what i meant is that if they for some reason decided to kill him, than people would freak out because it would totally screw up continuity
Hondo faught like a pirate, but kept his word like a man
What I loved about Clone Wars is that Anakin started off as a nice guy in season 1-3, he was somewhat loyal to the Jedi way and that was proven by saving Hondo, even though he's an frenemy. By the time of season 4-Rots, Anakin became a different person and it ain't mainly his fault.
Yeah, he was pretty chill in Season 1, with very few Dark Side moments. It wasn't until Season 2 that we started to see him get closer to his destiny, but it was still under control for the most part.
What about in bad batch, rebels, Empire strikes back and return of Jedi?
@@beatricesanfilippo6925 Can you read????? He clearly said Anakin in the earlier clone wars seasons. Jesus Christ.
@@GooglyMoogly68 I Hope that Ahsoka, Hondo, Rex, Cody, Bo-Katan, R2, 3PO, Lux and even Ezra are sad that Anakin sacrifices himself killing Palpatine in return of Jedi. :'(
3:16 is nobody gonna talk about the fact that this dude literally just died?
That's Clone Wars for you
3:06 How did Hondo lose when he had the high ground
Maybe this was filmed in australia so the low ground is actually the high ground
There is but one Lord of the High Ground, and he does not share power!
Embos hat toss was awesome XD
Wow... Hondo was able to stand with Anakin toe to toe for a few minutes. That's impressive.
Anakin having so much trouble in 1v1 combat with a pirate with a staff. Clumsy with the lightsaber like he is 8 years old.
It is stated in Wookieepedia that Hondo was a skilled fighter, and could hold himself in a fight.
+kungfumaster51 Oh he's a skilled fighter! Well Anakin is the fucking chosen one
+Mihail Radulov welcome to the world of inconsistent writing
+Mihail Radulov That shit was so weird to me.
Just because Anakin is strong doesn't mean he's gonna win every fight all the time
7 Samurai apparently ;3
+Ó Slatraigh Clearly. But it's fun.
This episode paid homage to Seven Samurai and it's director Akira Kurosawa.
1:21 WHEN CAPTAIN AMERICA THROWS HIS MIGHTY SHIELD ...
I understood that reference
am i the only one that thinks, the clone wars is the best thing in star wars. the clone wars made anakin my fav character, the clone wars saved the old republic saga for me, the clone wars had fights that are awesome... the prequels where enjoble, originals where good but fight scenes where bad cuz of the old production.
so star wars universe is a good well done universe with a few plotholes but im a fan, but clone wars is what made me a fan
The thing about this series is very inconsistent on the powers of the jedi and it clearly goes however the plot needs it to go.
Hyde yeah, well if it wasnt clone wars i wouldnt have bcome intrested in SW
+Hyde trust!! how you telling me that anakin subdued the Ones but couldn't handle a couple of amateur pirates?😂
Hondo's a cool character.
Which is why you spared him skywalker ?
;)
I enjoy how much character development they put into Hondo.
More than Rey lol
Love your LITMW pfp
I hate that Jedi don't use force to their advantage when in situations like this ...
Embo, my favorite bounty hunter ever. Sorry Cad Bane lovers.....no I'm not :)
