There is also a young Togruta seen in AotC, when Obi-Wan goes to speak to Yoda about the missing record of Kamino, while Yoda is teaching a Youngling class. The kid looks like she has the same colouring and face markings as Shaak Ti. From what I have found, her name is Ashla (that name seems to be one of those things that date back to Lucas' earliest versions of the original script).
@@guiwars2 It's also the name she uses for a while after order 66, as well the name by which the Lasats know the Force, the name of the light side of the Force according to the Bendu, a moon, and the name of the wooden staffs some Lasats have (not the Bo-rifle that Zeb has, but the one that old Lasat woman has).
I moreso just didn't take to the The Clone Wars movie/show at first. Not until the later seasons came out and my friends convinced me to give it another shot. The movie and the first couple seasons weren't the best imo. By the end it's absolutely phenomenal though and Ahsoka became my favorite Star Wars character of all time after her growth and evolution.
Looking back, having not really been in the know for the controversy in the fandom regarding this movie, I'm surprised by how much I enjoy her in this initial outing. I also love that she has her own very distinct music leitmotif from the get-go, which has carried on ever since. Kevin Kiner is sorely underrated as the composer for TCW and the other animated projects.
When Ventress used the mind trick on Rex, it didn't work, but Rex pretended it did to tip Anakin off. Ventress: "Contact Skywalker now." Rex: "I will contact Skywalker now" "Anakin, where are you?"
i believe the pink droid next to R2 at 20:17 is a droid named QT-KT, who was named by a young girl from make-a-wish named Katie, hence the name being “cutie-Katie.” She has a long and storied legacy in Star Wars lore as well :)
She wasn't a make a wish kid. QT-KT started off as a real-world replica of an R2-series astromech droid with pink highlights R2-KT. Albin Johnson, the founder of the 501st Legion, wanted to build a pink droid for his daughter Katie, who was dying from brain cancer. When the show runners George and Dave found out about it, they added the droid to the show and named it after her. Pink was Katie's favorite color. It's Aayla Secura's droid.
Fun fact both Ahsoka and Padme were 14 when they first met Anakin. Also the show takes place over the full 3 years between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith so by the end Anakin is 22 and Ahsoka is 17. Also Ahsoka was already at the Jedi Temple during Phantom Menace so she has technically been a Jedi longer than Anakin
Obi-Wan is 16 years older than Anakin. Anakin is 5 years older than Ahsoka. Anakin isn't really old enough to be a Jedi Knight, he was one of the youngest to ever be knighted at 19. This was for two reasons; 1. Anakin is gifted, and 2. The Republic is at war.
So deep cuts here, but the Jedi passed trials to become Jedi Knights. When Obi Wan was a Palawan in Episode I, it’s mentioned by Qui Gong that Obi Wan was ready to do the trial to become a Jedi Knight. But when Obi Wan faced Darth Maul and defeated him that was seen as a worthy feat to make him a Jedi Knight without having to pass a trial. In the 1000 years where the Sith were absent, so in peace time, the Jedi used trials to promote rank. Trials often took place in a Jedi temple and the Palawan had to pass the trial alone where they face their weaknesses, their fear and temptation with the dark side. They show what a trial looks like in Rebels with both Kanan and Ezra both experiencing trials in the Jedi temple on Lothal. So Obi Wan faced a Sith Lord and won so he was made a Jedi Knight. Anakin faced a Sith Lord (Dooku) and was also made a Jedi Knight. There’s maybe spoilers for Clone Wars so I won’t get specific, but I’ve seen it suggested that to become a master there are certain tasks you must also complete as well, like training a padawan. When Anakin became a Jedi Knight Obi Wan was made a master.
@@andmicbro1 Yes. Technically there was no set age to take the Trials. But on average a Jedi was nearing 30 when they were knighted. Obi-Wan was 25 and considered young, yes he absolutely earned it, but he was still below the average age. Anakin being knighted at 19 is virtually unheard of and I doubt any Jedi prior had ever witnessed that happen before except maybe Yaddle and Yoda. Anakin was knighted almost immediately after the Battle of Geonosis, and if the Republic had not just entered a war in which the Jedi agreed to act as generals I believe it would have been several more years at least before Anakin was knighted. But due to his advanced capabilities and the fact the Republic needed all the generals it could get, it was decided that Anakin was ready enough to take the Trials, which he passed. Obi-Wan getting the rank of Master is also kind of due to the circumstances following the Battle of Geonosis. Did he deserve to be a Master? Yes. But there were also vacancies on the High Council due to the battle and his padawan had just been knighted for the reasons I stated above. As far as the Trials go, the Jedi didn't do away with them when war broke out. Both Obi-Wan and Anakin still had to take them. Obi-Wan had to take one less as his victory over Darth Maul after the loss of his beloved master counted as one. Anakin also faced a Sith Lord, Darth Tyranus. However Anakin did not come out of that duel victorious, for multiple reasons; 1. Tyranus was far more powerful and skilled than Maul, and 2. Anakin was far more reckless and stubborn than Obi-Wan was. Anakin lost an arm and merely survived that duel due to the intervention of Yoda. If Yoda hadn't arrived when he did Anakin and Obi-Wan could very well have died there.
@@ApathyParabellum No. He's 19 and 22 when it ends. He was 23 iat the end of the war in Legends but they made him a year younger in canon for some reason.
Hutts are hermaphrodites like real life slugs, so they don’t really have sexes, or are assigned genders, so they choose go how to present themselves, which is how you get Ziro’s ambiguity. Hutts can also impregnate themselves, so it’s possible jabba is both stinky’s mom and dad
Even if Lucas was involved, the real artist here is Dave Filoni. He knows how to develop a character. And The Clone Wars is where all the character development that did not happen in the 3 movies, takes place. People talk trash about Filoni, but he is the wizard that made me love the prequel universe.
Hmm I just always thought Ziro was a Southern Dandy, which is what one could also call Truman Capote. Wrestler Dusty Rhodes considered himself one too. NFL QB Don Meredith was nicknamed “Dandy” lol…
Ahsoka is actually old for a Youngling/Padawan. Typically they are taken by Knights before 13, and Obi-Wan was actually 25 when he took Anakin on as his apprentice and Anakin was 9
Honestly I really liked Ahsoka and didn't know people didn't like her at first until years later. Since I was the same age as Ahsoka, 14, when Clone Wars came out, I kinda related to her and felt like I grew up alongside her over the years.
Also I would like to point out Ahsoka is 5 years older than Anakin was when he became a Padawan so his line of "I dont think you are old enough to be a Padawan" doesnt have much weight
23:50 I would argue that Anakin is a bit of a sociopath 😂 He doesn’t flinch or even hesitate when it comes to taking lives, and his love for his close ones can become more akin to obsession and control, despite his kindness and heroics
18:50 he has relationships, but not in a sense of attachment that you are attached to a person tightly. Jedi are meant to be compassionate and form friendships, but once you attach to a person and let that attachment cloud your judgement (like you not wanting to lose a friendship) is when the Jedi draw a line and why Yoda yaps about "learning to let go and embrace change as a fact of life" nonstop
Droids tend to develop a personality and become more free thinking over time. Since battle droids tend not to last long they don’t get a chance to and the few who do are regularly wiped to stop exactly that. Whereas R2 and C3PO haven’t been wiped in years, if ever, and as a result are far more human seeming
Just for anyone wondering Obi Wan's fake surrender in this film is the first of the war crimes committed throughout this show haha. It is a war crime to fake a surrender, if you do that in an actual war your opponents are fully within their rights to execute any troops who attempt to surrender as they have justification. Someone did a tally of all the war crimes Anakin and Obi Wan committed in this series and it is hilarious. "Remember kids there's no Geneva Conventions in space and if they aren't human then there ain't no human rights" ~Obi Wan Kenobi probably
Fun fact: Ziro is voiced by Corey Burton. The same guy who voiced Dooku in the series proper, although for this pilot movie, Sir Christopher Lee reprised his role. Fun fact #2: Christopher Lee was so impressed with Corey Burton's impression of him, that he wondered why the team even brought him in to record the lines.
You are right on the fighting change up for Obi Wan. There are several forms of lightsaber combat. Obi-Wan practices “Soresu” which is about full defense and conserving stamina. Anakin’s is a counter attack style that has two versions, “Shien” for blaster fire and “Djem-So” for lightsabers, using their own strength against them.
When I first saw this back in 2008, I hated the Ashoka character. But, Ashoka gets much better as time goes by and now I absolutely love the character. The Clone Wars series grows with her as she matures.
Its been ages since I saw this movie. At the time Star Wars was in its dormant state ROTS came out and people really thought that was it for the franchise. Then this came out and Star Wars got some new life. I always love Ahsoka and Anakin’s scene where Anakin tells her ‘Nothing happens by accident’ prior to that scene Obi-Wan tells Anakin to teach Ahsoka everything he was taught by Obi-Wan and the first real lesson he teaches her is something Qui-Gon Jinn said to him long ago. Anakin has had a lot of teachers and mentors since he became a Jedi but as a teacher the example Anakin follows is the man who has been gone for over a decade.
The seasons of The Clone Wars explain the change of heart of Anakin. Slowly burning. That is all I can say without spoilers. You will have to experience it yourself.
Age difference between Obi-Wan and Anakin is 16 years (Obi-Wan was 25 and Anakin 9 when they met), Anakin and Ahsoka is only 5 years difference (she is 14, Anakin 19).
Reading Anakin as fluid and airy is such a good insight. His form is called Shien/Djem So, whcih he modified himself to be a flowing style that requires his saber to constantly be moving in waves.
Bruh.. im gonna go broke subbing to another Clone Wars reaction channel. Especially cause you guys seem very invested. The best type of reaction channel.
Great video and, as always, it is awesome seeing the two of you being excited about these awesome series. But just to add a little bit to the whole "The first two seasons suck but it gets better" quote that you have probably read: It is usually used as a way to help people commit to get to the best moments of the show and not drop it in the early seasons because many do just because they feel it is "childish". But that doesn't mean "we" (at least some of us) hate or even dislike the early seasons, those are amazing content that made us laugh, get excited, think and even cry because this show is just beautiful. Not to mention that a lot of stuff that is used for current shows are things that "have been a thing" since these seasons Fun facts: ummm akchualy ☝🤓: Yeah, the whole concept of lightsaber Green/Blue/Yellow lightsaber color so represent a specific kind of jedi started from KotOR, and I think it is super awesome that Caleb pointed that out, I also want to add that yeah, back in the "old canon/Expanded Universe/Legends" some projects only had a license from Lucasfilm to be created, no needing George Lucas' hand in them, but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't check some of those out, like Timothy Zahn's famous trilogy of books, back in the days of only the OT, he invented that the capital of the Republic and the Empire was a planet called "Coruscant", George Lucas liked that name and that's why it is a thing in Episode I, Zahn also invented something called "Mount Tantiss" which is used in a Disney canon project. Nowadays, Dave Filoni (director of TCW and creator of all major animated SW projects) tries to use concepts from Legends and "canonize them" for the Disney stuff. I'm not sure if you're aware but he was involved in the early days of another IP I know you both enjoy ;) Finally, as a last ummm akchualy ☝🤓: the whole joke about the "war crimes" is not really a joke, Obi-Wan's distraction stunt is (or would be if it was a thing in the galaxy far far away) a violation to the geneva convention
Like Caleb said, Obi-Wan changed his fighting style to the defensive form (Form 3, Soresu) and by movie 3, Mace Windu and Yoda described him as THE Master of Form 3. There’s lore about a sith that mastered Form 3 and could walk through a rain storm without getting wet by blocking all of the rain drops. As Meg noted, Anakin is really fluid. He switched from the acrobatic form (Form 4, Ataru) to the more aggressive form (Form 5, Shien). Anakin specialized in the lightsaber combat variation, Djem So. But also mixed it with some of the acrobatics from form 4 in order to make himself more fluid while retaining all of his powerful blows Ahsoka is actually very very similar to Anakin, not only in the temperament, but in the skill. She’s more advanced than most, that’s why Anakin said she was young. Cause she’s much younger than your typical padawan. Ahsoka is also a Togruta. Not the same as a Twi-Lek, but they seem similar in the idea that the gangs tend to take their women as slaves 😅 Obi-Wan is known as “The Negotiator”. People know him as such throughout the galaxy and he even speaks multiple languages. Multiple being relative to a galaxy full of planets 😂 The Hutts are both male and female at the same time I think. So they shift to their female half when it’s time to birth a child and become significantly more protective and emotional around the beginning of the child’s life before reverting back to the male half A part of the Separatist movement is xenophobia. You’ll notice a lot of separatist worlds are non humanoid species and people tend to discriminate against those species. The Hutts are actually very terrible gangsters. As you’ve seen they hire bounty hunters and keep slaves. That’s like the bare minimum. Palpatine finds out about Anakin and Padme because the priest that did their wedding blabbed to him
You know Cody from Revenge of the Sith, he gives Obi Wan his lightsaber again and then blasts him on his reptile thingy down moments later during order 66.
In reference to "He's not treating her how Obi-Wan treated Anakin.". Remember we only briefly saw Obi-Wan with young Anakin and then didn't see them again for ten years. We didn't see Anakin's earlier training which is what we are seeing here with Ahsoka. We saw Anakin at 9 in The Phantom Menace and then jumped to Anakin at age 19 in Attack Of The Clones. We didn't see how Obi-Wan was with Anakin at Ahsoka's age. Yes, we saw that they had a bumpy start but the bulk of his training was off screen. Additionally, Ahsoka grew up in the Temple from a very young age like most of the Jedi - not knowing her parents. So Anakin (who was older when he came to the Temple and did know his parent) training Ahsoka is not really a good comparison to Obi-Wan who was raised in the Temple training Anakin who did not. Obi-Wan has empathy and compassion but being Temple raised his way of interacting would be different not devoid of empathy.
As you watch Clone Wars, remember all the clones are voiced by the same actor. Dee Bradley Baker. One man doing dozens of different voices all clones of the same person. Yet by the end of the series, you will be able to tell which clone is speaking without watching the screen, just from subtle differences in their tone and personality. Amazing voice acting, does not get enough credit for the subtlety.
Believe it or not, that actually IS Samuel L. Jackson voicing Mace Windu! Sir Christopher Lee also reprised his role as Count Dooku here, though sadly both of them do not lend their voice talents to the rest of the series. I think this was actually one of the last films Christopher Lee was a part of before he passed away.
Many thanks to Meg and Caleb! 🌠 I saw this one on the big screen. I liked it fine, but the series as a whole is epic... as I'm sure tons have told ya. 🔸 There's also a *Genndy* *Tartakovsky* 2D animated micro-series (which ran from 2003 through 2005). It isn't canon, but it contains some of my favorite STAR WARS moments ever.
Due to their "service in exchange for power" relationship with The Force, Jedi are more akin to warlocks than sorcerers, specifically Great Old One warlocks.
Oh yeah he nailed Sam Jackson’s voice lmao The reason why is because it is Sam Jackson. Sam Jackson and Christopher Lee actually voice their characters in just this movie. For the rest of the show it is TC Carson and Corey Burton.
Looking forward to watching Meg's take on this show. Tons of "new" Star Wars material for you guys........just hang in there for the first 2 seasons. It can be a little "rough." By the time you get through to the series finale, you will end up having your mind blown and your hearts broken. The last 4 episodes of the entire series runs concurrently with "Revenge Of The Sith" (I know Meg was torn up with THAT one) so it will be extra impactful. Looking forward to the next several months!
Ventress was originally introduced in the 2003 2D animated series (which is no longer considered canon, but I would definitely recommend watching). So when she appeared in the new 3D show in 2008, people who had watched the anime already knew who she was. But it's a shame they didn't include more of an intro for people seeing her for the first time.
First of all, just wanted to say great reaction, I really love watching your journey into the greatness that is Star Wars. To answer the question, yeah droids can be Force-Sensitive on at least two occasions. Pre-Disney Reboot there was Skippy the R5-D4 droid that was almost taken by Luke in Episode IV. He had a vision that showed R2-D2 was needed for Luke to become the Jedi the galaxy needed him to be. So he used the Force to make himself malfunction. Then in the Disney Star Wars Visions there is a one off story about a droid becoming a Jedi Knight that is really quite nice. I'd say you could watch Star Wars Visions at any point since it isn't focused too much on being continuity minded. Lastly, there was a comic arc in the now Star Wars Legends that deals with the fact that Jedi would just up and take kids to be trained whether the parents agreed or not. Somewhere in the Star Wars Republic comics I believe. Both pre and post Disney the Jedi Order had some serious issues. You may like picking up books or even audiobooks in the Legends stuff because it's really great how they apply actual logic to making stories instead of just doing whatever. P.S. Absorbing the destructive power of the Dark Side is a Light Side technique. When it is as potent as Force Lightning it is done by most Jedi with a lightsaber. This is what Obi-Wan did against Dooku in Episode 2. Yoda is so centered in the Light that he is able to do it with his bare hands if he has time to prepare for it. Anakin has his dark moments, and elements, but until his fall he is still greatly in the Light Side of the Force.
Meg if you want to go more into discussion about the Jedi teachings and the force, the Knights of the Old Republic games will be right up your alley when it comes to that stuff. They are old games, but they are Bioware-style RPGs (the first one was literally made by Bioware), and they get more into the philosophies and methods of each side. I know you are probably getting asked to do a million different Star Wars related things. But your RPG playthroughs of Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Witcher were how I stared watching you and the KOTOR games are in that same vein but in the Star Wars setting.
5:11: Well yeah but more so because their musket guns weren’t so accurate yet so firing in a long line and in turns yielded a more accurate field of fire.
Ahsoka is 14 in this movie and Anakin is 20, this is about 3 years before ROTS. Don’t worry, there are plenty of ships for you to enjoy throughout this series! (You’ll actually find one of the more popular pairings among some fans is Codywan) A lot of fans didn’t like Ahsoka when this came out, but throughout this series she became one of the most beloved characters. I’m glad you two enjoyed the movie, I’m very invested in this journey!
the detachment ideology of Buddhism which they in turn got from what's today called Hinduism - is actually detachment from result/reward. You do things because it's the right thing to do, despite the odds, despite the results. Where the chips fall doesn't matter. All that matters is your Karm (the actual thing, not what the Christians believed it to mean) should always be guided by Dharm (responsibility/duty) and committed to the end. So when the Hindu/Buddhist scriptures say detachment should be practiced, it's not from love or relationships but from a sense of entitlement to receiving love in exchange for love and loyalty in exchange of loyalty.
@@DocuzanQuitomos well, as someone born into a practicing Hindu family - this is entirely my perception of the texts, so do indeed do the required research to your satisfaction. Anakin in AoTC came the closest to actually understanding what part of love the Jedi are supposed to detach from and what part of it is encouraged.
Dave Filoni knew Ahsoka wouldn’t be well received at first. He went to Lucas and other executives and told them that he could make her work if he was given a few episodes worth of time and some faith. Years later and he certainly succeeded.
Fun Fact: Padawan Training takes place for the entire time after a student leaves the temple in the care of a jedi serving as their master. If a Youngling is not selected by a jedi for training before they turn 15, they are deemed to have failed and are redirected to the jedi Service Corps (Agri Corps, Medical Corps, Explorer Corps). Ahsoka (14) is old for a Padawan because she is a transfer from Plo Koon. Obiwan actually was passed over And was on his way to the service corps when he was selected by Qui gon. Fun Fact 2: Hutts are a hermaphrodite species, And they switch gender presentations as their personal proclivity or urge to reproduce takes them. Fun Fact 3: there is a DIFFERENCE between a Jedi Master (rank above Knight) and Jedi's master (Jedi training a Padawan). Just like one of the benchmark Tasks required for a Padawan to be eligible for the Knighthood Trials is building their Own Lightsabre (without assistance), one of the requirements to advance from Knight to Master is to complete the training of a Padawan through to Knighthood. [M]aster (title) is different from [m]aster (honorific).
In the meantime I advise you to buy the board game The Clone Wars. It is a casual collaborative game where players are Jedis and they must solve missions while trying to stop droid invasion and villain action. Missions are episodes from the TV show. I also recomend to buy eyebrow tweezer so you can grab the miniatures from the base to take them out of the insert. If you try to take the miniatures with your fingers, they could break as they fit tightly in the insert. The game is very casual, but extremely thematic. Meg's husband will love how it was made with love for fans.
4:56 I wouldn't call it "taking turns". I would say that it takes 30 seconds to load one bullet, so you have to strategize when you take that shot. There are videos on TH-cam that will explain it better than I can in a comment. My brief explanation: 1. The first guns were not very good, you'd aim at One guy's head, And hit another guy's foot. So by having a row of people all aiming at the same Target, you're more likely to kill them. 2. Standing in a line means you're not going to accidentally shoot your buddy in front of you. 3. Guys on horses were The Pinnacle of deadly, too fast to shoot with your crappy gun, so big and strong they can run you over and kill you. You need a bunch of guys stabbing the same horse with bayonets if you're going to survive.
Ahsoka's species is Togruta. From what I have gleaned, they are predators, but they are also very connected to nature. The first season of "Tale of the Jedi" shorts series has half of it being about Ahsoka. The first episode, "Life and Death" is about Pav-Ti, her mother, taking Ahsoka on her first hunt (Pav-Ti uses a hunting blaster-rifle). That portrays Togruta who live in country villages on Shilli (their homeworld) as being something I think is inspired by traditional Native American of the more northern states (pine forests and mountains). In other details, the horn-like points on her head are Montrals, which are skin-covered hollow bone organs that give Togruta echolocation senses. They are possibly a big part of their hearing too. Both montrals and lekku (which Togruta have 3 - two at the shoulders and a fatter one at the back) grow as they age, which can be seen on Shaak-Ti and how long her lekku are, or in the Zygerian arc, which is about a Togruta colony being taken as slaves. There was some fuss about the live action Ahsoka was her lekku and montrals were not as long as people hoped, but it was an issue of practical movement for Rosario. They managed to make it better by the _Ahsoka_ series, but not extremely longer. The series also had some great lekku on Hera as well (Hera Syndulla is Twi-Lek).
It seems the Fandom begrudges the AniSoka ship a fair bit, and one can get a good perspective on that if one watches episode 5 of _Ahsoka_ . A bit spoilery, Ahsoka has a vision quest where she relives some bits of the Clone Wars, and thus the actor playing Ahsoka in those scenes was probably 15 at filming (Ariana Greenblatt). It makes it easier to see how young Ahsoka she really was during the war. That is not even counting the Padme issue, as more mutually adult ships, like Obikin (Obi-Wan/Anakin) gives some in-story explainer in fics.
I choose to think Rotta was on Nal Hutta with part of his extended family when Luke, Leia and Lando came to rescue Han. Hell, maybe Rotta has a mother on teh Hutt homeworld that has split custody with Jabba.
On shipping Ventress, I think this series gives a lot of ground for her and Obi-Wan, but her canon ship is Quinlan Vos, who does appear in the show, in season 3. I am under the impression the "Dark Disciple" story was a cut TCW plot that got turned into a novel instead, but nI have also heard Filoni considers it canon, which is curious considering her appearance in _The Bad Batch_ . Secons, Ventress _was_ a Jedi... kinda. She was rescued from slavers by a Jedi, Ky Narec, but Ky got stuck on a Wild space planet, Rattatak. Ky eventually got killed by the criminal gangs, and Ventress had to go it alone, ended up Falling, and then Dooku found her. Meanwhile, on shipping Laurel Dooky, well Dooku has a Legends story, where he had a padawan named Komari Vosa, who had a serious crush on him. Keep in mind, this is a teenage girl lusting after a middle-aged man who is her mentor. Apparently she went missing during a mission and later emerged as a leader of the cult that mision had been fighting. (P.S. My nickname of Laurel Dooky is because of the audio puzzle of a certain sounds being heard both as "Laurel" and "Yanny". Dooku's given name is Yan.)
You guys should look into the Animated Clone Wars mini series done for Cartoon Network. I promise you'll enjoy the ride, and, being a mini series, the whole thing isn't too far off from the length of a movie.
People said this movie was trash it had actually aired in theaters before the whole show and as someone who saw this movie when i was 8 and still watch it when im 20 i don’t understand the hate for this movie
My recommendation is to watch Tales of the Jedi now in chronological order. You can find websites detailing where each episode falls in the chronology. Most of them take place before Clone Wars but at least one you would watch concurrent with Clone Wars and one much later.
Hi Meg, I enjoyed watching your reaction to Star Wars The Clone Wars with my best friend! We watched this movie a few years ago and we enjoyed it! We had fun watching your reaction to it! We really like the Clone Wars series as well. What do you think of it Meg? :) :)

Since Caleb wondered, 'Ahsoka' is Togruta... like Jedi Master 'Shaak Ti'.
There is also a young Togruta seen in AotC, when Obi-Wan goes to speak to Yoda about the missing record of Kamino, while Yoda is teaching a Youngling class. The kid looks like she has the same colouring and face markings as Shaak Ti.

I moreso just didn't take to the The Clone Wars movie/show at first. Not until the later seasons came out and my friends convinced me to give it another shot.

Iconic.
She wasn't a make a wish kid. QT-KT started off as a real-world replica of an R2-series astromech droid with pink highlights R2-KT. Albin Johnson, the founder of the 501st Legion, wanted to build a pink droid for his daughter Katie, who was dying from brain cancer. When the show runners George and Dave found out about it, they added the droid to the show and named it after her. Pink was Katie's favorite color. It's Aayla Secura's droid.
Fun fact both Ahsoka and Padme were 14 when they first met Anakin. Also the show takes place over the full 3 years between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith so by the end Anakin is 22 and Ahsoka is 17. Also Ahsoka was already at the Jedi Temple during Phantom Menace so she has technically been a Jedi longer than Anakin
The series feels like it takes place along a much longer time.
@@thelazygamer1639thats war for you
You both are really gonna fall in love with the characters ESPECIALLY the clones.
And ahsoka
I gotta be honest. I was waiting WEEKS for this reaction 😅
Still remember seeing this in theaters as a kid in August 2008. 😊
I hope it's worth it! :D
Obi-Wan is 16 years older than Anakin. Anakin is 5 years older than Ahsoka. Anakin isn't really old enough to be a Jedi Knight, he was one of the youngest to ever be knighted at 19. This was for two reasons; 1. Anakin is gifted, and 2. The Republic is at war.
So deep cuts here, but the Jedi passed trials to become Jedi Knights. When Obi Wan was a Palawan in Episode I, it’s mentioned by Qui Gong that Obi Wan was ready to do the trial to become a Jedi Knight. But when Obi Wan faced Darth Maul and defeated him that was seen as a worthy feat to make him a Jedi Knight without having to pass a trial. In the 1000 years where the Sith were absent, so in peace time, the Jedi used trials to promote rank. Trials often took place in a Jedi temple and the Palawan had to pass the trial alone where they face their weaknesses, their fear and temptation with the dark side. They show what a trial looks like in Rebels with both Kanan and Ezra both experiencing trials in the Jedi temple on Lothal.
So Obi Wan faced a Sith Lord and won so he was made a Jedi Knight. Anakin faced a Sith Lord (Dooku) and was also made a Jedi Knight. There’s maybe spoilers for Clone Wars so I won’t get specific, but I’ve seen it suggested that to become a master there are certain tasks you must also complete as well, like training a padawan. When Anakin became a Jedi Knight Obi Wan was made a master.
@@andmicbro1 Yes. Technically there was no set age to take the Trials. But on average a Jedi was nearing 30 when they were knighted. Obi-Wan was 25 and considered young, yes he absolutely earned it, but he was still below the average age. Anakin being knighted at 19 is virtually unheard of and I doubt any Jedi prior had ever witnessed that happen before except maybe Yaddle and Yoda. Anakin was knighted almost immediately after the Battle of Geonosis, and if the Republic had not just entered a war in which the Jedi agreed to act as generals I believe it would have been several more years at least before Anakin was knighted. But due to his advanced capabilities and the fact the Republic needed all the generals it could get, it was decided that Anakin was ready enough to take the Trials, which he passed.
Obi-Wan getting the rank of Master is also kind of due to the circumstances following the Battle of Geonosis. Did he deserve to be a Master? Yes. But there were also vacancies on the High Council due to the battle and his padawan had just been knighted for the reasons I stated above.
As far as the Trials go, the Jedi didn't do away with them when war broke out. Both Obi-Wan and Anakin still had to take them. Obi-Wan had to take one less as his victory over Darth Maul after the loss of his beloved master counted as one. Anakin also faced a Sith Lord, Darth Tyranus. However Anakin did not come out of that duel victorious, for multiple reasons; 1. Tyranus was far more powerful and skilled than Maul, and 2. Anakin was far more reckless and stubborn than Obi-Wan was. Anakin lost an arm and merely survived that duel due to the intervention of Yoda. If Yoda hadn't arrived when he did Anakin and Obi-Wan could very well have died there.
Asoka is 14 in the film if I remember right.
Anakin is about 20.
I think Anakin is 19 at the time of this movie.
He's 20. The clonewars last for 3 years and he's 23/24 when it ends
@@ApathyParabellum No.
He's 19 and 22 when it ends.
He was 23 iat the end of the war in Legends but they made him a year younger in canon for some reason.
Hutts are hermaphrodites like real life slugs, so they don’t really have sexes, or are assigned genders, so they choose go how to present themselves, which is how you get Ziro’s ambiguity. Hutts can also impregnate themselves, so it’s possible jabba is both stinky’s mom and dad
Even if Lucas was involved, the real artist here is Dave Filoni. He knows how to develop a character. And The Clone Wars is where all the character development that did not happen in the 3 movies, takes place.
People talk trash about Filoni, but he is the wizard that made me love the prequel universe.
Ziros accent is based on famous journalist and author Truman Capote
Hmm I just always thought Ziro was a Southern Dandy, which is what one could also call Truman Capote. Wrestler Dusty Rhodes considered himself one too. NFL QB Don Meredith was nicknamed “Dandy” lol…
Ahsoka is 14 starting off and Anakin is in 20s
He isnt even 20 yet he is still 19
Ahsoka is actually old for a Youngling/Padawan. Typically they are taken by Knights before 13, and Obi-Wan was actually 25 when he took Anakin on as his apprentice and Anakin was 9
Honestly I really liked Ahsoka and didn't know people didn't like her at first until years later.
Since I was the same age as Ahsoka, 14, when Clone Wars came out, I kinda related to her and felt like I grew up alongside her over the years.
Rex was faking being under control of the mind trick, and Anakin picked up on it.
Also I would like to point out Ahsoka is 5 years older than Anakin was when he became a Padawan so his line of "I dont think you are old enough to be a Padawan" doesnt have much weight
Weird to think that Ahsoka has spent longer as a Jedi than Anakin has even before he became Vader.
I’m pretty sure she was also brought to the Jedi temple a year before Anakin
34:18 actually they havent. R2 was Padmes droid until they got married so he has been Anakins for a couple months at most
23:50 I would argue that Anakin is a bit of a sociopath 😂 He doesn’t flinch or even hesitate when it comes to taking lives, and his love for his close ones can become more akin to obsession and control, despite his kindness and heroics
Asajj Ventress originally appeared in Clone Wars 2003 and her backstory was explained in Star Wars Republic comics.
18:50 he has relationships, but not in a sense of attachment that you are attached to a person tightly. Jedi are meant to be compassionate and form friendships, but once you attach to a person and let that attachment cloud your judgement (like you not wanting to lose a friendship) is when the Jedi draw a line and why Yoda yaps about "learning to let go and embrace change as a fact of life" nonstop
Awesome you and Caleb are watching Star Wars: the Clone Wars
this is awesome have a great Thursday evening thanks y'all.
💞🐶🐶💞
I love how Caleb is in this! Works really well with 1 SW expert and 1 person discovering
Droids tend to develop a personality and become more free thinking over time. Since battle droids tend not to last long they don’t get a chance to and the few who do are regularly wiped to stop exactly that.
Whereas R2 and C3PO haven’t been wiped in years, if ever, and as a result are far more human seeming
Obi-Wan is roughly 16 years older than Anakin and Anakin is 5 years older than Ahsoka so no its not a similar age difference
Just for anyone wondering Obi Wan's fake surrender in this film is the first of the war crimes committed throughout this show haha. It is a war crime to fake a surrender, if you do that in an actual war your opponents are fully within their rights to execute any troops who attempt to surrender as they have justification. Someone did a tally of all the war crimes Anakin and Obi Wan committed in this series and it is hilarious.
"Remember kids there's no Geneva Conventions in space and if they aren't human then there ain't no human rights" ~Obi Wan Kenobi probably
A sapphire in a pile of diamonds is still a gemstone. I don't understand why people don't like this.
Fun fact: Ziro is voiced by Corey Burton. The same guy who voiced Dooku in the series proper, although for this pilot movie, Sir Christopher Lee reprised his role.
Fun fact #2: Christopher Lee was so impressed with Corey Burton's impression of him, that he wondered why the team even brought him in to record the lines.
You are right on the fighting change up for Obi Wan. There are several forms of lightsaber combat. Obi-Wan practices “Soresu” which is about full defense and conserving stamina. Anakin’s is a counter attack style that has two versions, “Shien” for blaster fire and “Djem-So” for lightsabers, using their own strength against them.
When I first saw this back in 2008, I hated the Ashoka character. But, Ashoka gets much better as time goes by and now I absolutely love the character. The Clone Wars series grows with her as she matures.
28:52 Ahhh her theme 😁
Its been ages since I saw this movie. At the time Star Wars was in its dormant state ROTS came out and people really thought that was it for the franchise. Then this came out and Star Wars got some new life. I always love Ahsoka and Anakin’s scene where Anakin tells her ‘Nothing happens by accident’ prior to that scene Obi-Wan tells Anakin to teach Ahsoka everything he was taught by Obi-Wan and the first real lesson he teaches her is something Qui-Gon Jinn said to him long ago. Anakin has had a lot of teachers and mentors since he became a Jedi but as a teacher the example Anakin follows is the man who has been gone for over a decade.
The seasons of The Clone Wars explain the change of heart of Anakin. Slowly burning. That is all I can say without spoilers. You will have to experience it yourself.
Age difference between Obi-Wan and Anakin is 16 years (Obi-Wan was 25 and Anakin 9 when they met), Anakin and Ahsoka is only 5 years difference (she is 14, Anakin 19).
Reading Anakin as fluid and airy is such a good insight. His form is called Shien/Djem So, whcih he modified himself to be a flowing style that requires his saber to constantly be moving in waves.
Bruh.. im gonna go broke subbing to another Clone Wars reaction channel. Especially cause you guys seem very invested. The best type of reaction channel.
Thanks for the video Meg and Caleb! :)
"Is it a bomb" is crazyyy
Great video and, as always, it is awesome seeing the two of you being excited about these awesome series. But just to add a little bit to the whole "The first two seasons suck but it gets better" quote that you have probably read:
It is usually used as a way to help people commit to get to the best moments of the show and not drop it in the early seasons because many do just because they feel it is "childish".
But that doesn't mean "we" (at least some of us) hate or even dislike the early seasons, those are amazing content that made us laugh, get excited, think and even cry because this show is just beautiful. Not to mention that a lot of stuff that is used for current shows are things that "have been a thing" since these seasons
Fun facts:
ummm akchualy ☝🤓: Yeah, the whole concept of lightsaber Green/Blue/Yellow lightsaber color so represent a specific kind of jedi started from KotOR, and I think it is super awesome that Caleb pointed that out, I also want to add that yeah, back in the "old canon/Expanded Universe/Legends" some projects only had a license from Lucasfilm to be created, no needing George Lucas' hand in them, but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't check some of those out, like Timothy Zahn's famous trilogy of books, back in the days of only the OT, he invented that the capital of the Republic and the Empire was a planet called "Coruscant", George Lucas liked that name and that's why it is a thing in Episode I, Zahn also invented something called "Mount Tantiss" which is used in a Disney canon project. Nowadays, Dave Filoni (director of TCW and creator of all major animated SW projects) tries to use concepts from Legends and "canonize them" for the Disney stuff. I'm not sure if you're aware but he was involved in the early days of another IP I know you both enjoy ;)
Finally, as a last ummm akchualy ☝🤓: the whole joke about the "war crimes" is not really a joke, Obi-Wan's distraction stunt is (or would be if it was a thing in the galaxy far far away) a violation to the geneva convention
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
Like Caleb said, Obi-Wan changed his fighting style to the defensive form (Form 3, Soresu) and by movie 3, Mace Windu and Yoda described him as THE Master of Form 3. There’s lore about a sith that mastered Form 3 and could walk through a rain storm without getting wet by blocking all of the rain drops.
As Meg noted, Anakin is really fluid. He switched from the acrobatic form (Form 4, Ataru) to the more aggressive form (Form 5, Shien). Anakin specialized in the lightsaber combat variation, Djem So. But also mixed it with some of the acrobatics from form 4 in order to make himself more fluid while retaining all of his powerful blows
Ahsoka is actually very very similar to Anakin, not only in the temperament, but in the skill. She’s more advanced than most, that’s why Anakin said she was young. Cause she’s much younger than your typical padawan.
Ahsoka is also a Togruta. Not the same as a Twi-Lek, but they seem similar in the idea that the gangs tend to take their women as slaves 😅
Obi-Wan is known as “The Negotiator”. People know him as such throughout the galaxy and he even speaks multiple languages. Multiple being relative to a galaxy full of planets 😂
The Hutts are both male and female at the same time I think. So they shift to their female half when it’s time to birth a child and become significantly more protective and emotional around the beginning of the child’s life before reverting back to the male half
A part of the Separatist movement is xenophobia. You’ll notice a lot of separatist worlds are non humanoid species and people tend to discriminate against those species.
The Hutts are actually very terrible gangsters. As you’ve seen they hire bounty hunters and keep slaves. That’s like the bare minimum.
Palpatine finds out about Anakin and Padme because the priest that did their wedding blabbed to him
You know Cody from Revenge of the Sith, he gives Obi Wan his lightsaber again and then blasts him on his reptile thingy down moments later during order 66.
In reference to "He's not treating her how Obi-Wan treated Anakin.". Remember we only briefly saw Obi-Wan with young Anakin and then didn't see them again for ten years. We didn't see Anakin's earlier training which is what we are seeing here with Ahsoka. We saw Anakin at 9 in The Phantom Menace and then jumped to Anakin at age 19 in Attack Of The Clones. We didn't see how Obi-Wan was with Anakin at Ahsoka's age. Yes, we saw that they had a bumpy start but the bulk of his training was off screen. Additionally, Ahsoka grew up in the Temple from a very young age like most of the Jedi - not knowing her parents. So Anakin (who was older when he came to the Temple and did know his parent) training Ahsoka is not really a good comparison to Obi-Wan who was raised in the Temple training Anakin who did not. Obi-Wan has empathy and compassion but being Temple raised his way of interacting would be different not devoid of empathy.
Ahsoka, one of my favorite Star Wars characters EVER
As you watch Clone Wars, remember all the clones are voiced by the same actor. Dee Bradley Baker.
One man doing dozens of different voices all clones of the same person.
Yet by the end of the series, you will be able to tell which clone is speaking without watching the screen, just from subtle differences in their tone and personality.
Amazing voice acting, does not get enough credit for the subtlety.
Meg out here trying to ship Ashoka and Anakin
*BOOM BOOM BOOM! FBI OPEN UP*
Believe it or not, that actually IS Samuel L. Jackson voicing Mace Windu! Sir Christopher Lee also reprised his role as Count Dooku here, though sadly both of them do not lend their voice talents to the rest of the series. I think this was actually one of the last films Christopher Lee was a part of before he passed away.
Sir Christopher actually completed 17 more films between 2008 when he voiced Clone Wars and his death in 2015. He kept working until nearly the end.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 Oh wow! I had no idea he was in so many! He really was an incredible actor, and he'll be sorely missed.
@@a_fine_edition2746 Indeed! Plus he did that heavy metal album that hit No. 1 on the Metal chart on his 90th birthday. An overall badass.
Many thanks to Meg and Caleb! 🌠 I saw this one on the big screen. I liked it fine, but the series as a whole is epic... as I'm sure tons have told ya. 🔸 There's also a *Genndy* *Tartakovsky* 2D animated micro-series (which ran from 2003 through 2005). It isn't canon, but it contains some of my favorite STAR WARS moments ever.
I'm glad you both are finally watching this movie
Due to their "service in exchange for power" relationship with The Force, Jedi are more akin to warlocks than sorcerers, specifically Great Old One warlocks.
"Space wizards with laser swords"
Oh yeah he nailed Sam Jackson’s voice lmao
The reason why is because it is Sam Jackson. Sam Jackson and Christopher Lee actually voice their characters in just this movie. For the rest of the show it is TC Carson and Corey Burton.
Long have I waited for this moment
Also I would die for that huttlett in the hopes it would make Tatoonie a safer and prosperous planet.
Looking forward to watching Meg's take on this show. Tons of "new" Star Wars material for you guys........just hang in there for the first 2 seasons. It can be a little "rough."
By the time you get through to the series finale, you will end up having your mind blown and your hearts broken. The last 4 episodes of the entire series runs concurrently with "Revenge Of The Sith" (I know Meg was torn up with THAT one) so it will be extra impactful.
Looking forward to the next several months!
Ooh I can't wait for you guys to see the character developments in this show (specifically with Ahsoka)
Watchmaker 40k has a faction called Harlequins. They are space elf murder clowns.
Ventress was originally introduced in the 2003 2D animated series (which is no longer considered canon, but I would definitely recommend watching). So when she appeared in the new 3D show in 2008, people who had watched the anime already knew who she was. But it's a shame they didn't include more of an intro for people seeing her for the first time.
Yes and no.... the best way to think of all the content in the 2003 CW, is as tales in a cantina over drinks... "No pudu, there I was and..."
Being excited for any lore in Clone Wars is a great attitue to have. I loved even the earlier season because I love Star Wars and wanted more.
44:13 my guy you’re killing me
A Little later? Nah its YEARS until Anakin goes sicko mode on the kidz.
I think the imperial march/Vader's theme played in this too.
First of all, just wanted to say great reaction, I really love watching your journey into the greatness that is Star Wars.
To answer the question, yeah droids can be Force-Sensitive on at least two occasions. Pre-Disney Reboot there was Skippy the R5-D4 droid that was almost taken by Luke in Episode IV. He had a vision that showed R2-D2 was needed for Luke to become the Jedi the galaxy needed him to be. So he used the Force to make himself malfunction. Then in the Disney Star Wars Visions there is a one off story about a droid becoming a Jedi Knight that is really quite nice. I'd say you could watch Star Wars Visions at any point since it isn't focused too much on being continuity minded. Lastly, there was a comic arc in the now Star Wars Legends that deals with the fact that Jedi would just up and take kids to be trained whether the parents agreed or not. Somewhere in the Star Wars Republic comics I believe. Both pre and post Disney the Jedi Order had some serious issues. You may like picking up books or even audiobooks in the Legends stuff because it's really great how they apply actual logic to making stories instead of just doing whatever.
P.S.
Absorbing the destructive power of the Dark Side is a Light Side technique. When it is as potent as Force Lightning it is done by most Jedi with a lightsaber. This is what Obi-Wan did against Dooku in Episode 2. Yoda is so centered in the Light that he is able to do it with his bare hands if he has time to prepare for it. Anakin has his dark moments, and elements, but until his fall he is still greatly in the Light Side of the Force.
Meg if you want to go more into discussion about the Jedi teachings and the force, the Knights of the Old Republic games will be right up your alley when it comes to that stuff. They are old games, but they are Bioware-style RPGs (the first one was literally made by Bioware), and they get more into the philosophies and methods of each side.
I know you are probably getting asked to do a million different Star Wars related things. But your RPG playthroughs of Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Witcher were how I stared watching you and the KOTOR games are in that same vein but in the Star Wars setting.
5:11: Well yeah but more so because their musket guns weren’t so accurate yet so firing in a long line and in turns yielded a more accurate field of fire.
Ahsoka is 14 in this movie and Anakin is 20, this is about 3 years before ROTS. Don’t worry, there are plenty of ships for you to enjoy throughout this series! (You’ll actually find one of the more popular pairings among some fans is Codywan)
A lot of fans didn’t like Ahsoka when this came out, but throughout this series she became one of the most beloved characters. I’m glad you two enjoyed the movie, I’m very invested in this journey!
Anakin is 19
the detachment ideology of Buddhism which they in turn got from what's today called Hinduism - is actually detachment from result/reward. You do things because it's the right thing to do, despite the odds, despite the results. Where the chips fall doesn't matter. All that matters is your Karm (the actual thing, not what the Christians believed it to mean) should always be guided by Dharm (responsibility/duty) and committed to the end.
So when the Hindu/Buddhist scriptures say detachment should be practiced, it's not from love or relationships but from a sense of entitlement to receiving love in exchange for love and loyalty in exchange of loyalty.
@@DocuzanQuitomos well, as someone born into a practicing Hindu family - this is entirely my perception of the texts, so do indeed do the required research to your satisfaction.
Anakin in AoTC came the closest to actually understanding what part of love the Jedi are supposed to detach from and what part of it is encouraged.
25:30 *laughs in Warhammer 40K*
The Robin Hobb mention, yessssss!
There is a 16 year difference between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan was 25 during The Phantom Menace.
Ahsoka is a Togruta female like Jedi Master Shaak Ti she was in charge of training clone cadets on kamino.
It was actually Samuel Jackson voicing Mace in this movie.
Waited for this 😢
Dave Filoni knew Ahsoka wouldn’t be well received at first. He went to Lucas and other executives and told them that he could make her work if he was given a few episodes worth of time and some faith. Years later and he certainly succeeded.
Great reaction. I think you both willl have a lot of fun with this show
Fun Fact: Padawan Training takes place for the entire time after a student leaves the temple in the care of a jedi serving as their master. If a Youngling is not selected by a jedi for training before they turn 15, they are deemed to have failed and are redirected to the jedi Service Corps (Agri Corps, Medical Corps, Explorer Corps).
Ahsoka (14) is old for a Padawan because she is a transfer from Plo Koon. Obiwan actually was passed over And was on his way to the service corps when he was selected by Qui gon.
Fun Fact 2: Hutts are a hermaphrodite species, And they switch gender presentations as their personal proclivity or urge to reproduce takes them.
Fun Fact 3: there is a DIFFERENCE between a Jedi Master (rank above Knight) and Jedi's master (Jedi training a Padawan).
Just like one of the benchmark Tasks required for a Padawan to be eligible for the Knighthood Trials is building their Own Lightsabre (without assistance), one of the requirements to advance from Knight to Master is to complete the training of a Padawan through to Knighthood. [M]aster (title) is different from [m]aster (honorific).
Anakin during the Clone Wars movie is 19, and Ahsoka right now is 14.
In the meantime I advise you to buy the board game The Clone Wars. It is a casual collaborative game where players are Jedis and they must solve missions while trying to stop droid invasion and villain action. Missions are episodes from the TV show.
I also recomend to buy eyebrow tweezer so you can grab the miniatures from the base to take them out of the insert. If you try to take the miniatures with your fingers, they could break as they fit tightly in the insert.
The game is very casual, but extremely thematic. Meg's husband will love how it was made with love for fans.
23:25 Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars! Really fun
Anakin is almost 20 in this movie and Ahsoka is 14... So yeah it would be weird to ship them. Anakin being married aside.
9:21 i think she shares the same race as Shaak Ti from Starwars: The force Unleashed
4:56
I wouldn't call it "taking turns". I would say that it takes 30 seconds to load one bullet, so you have to strategize when you take that shot.
There are videos on TH-cam that will explain it better than I can in a comment.
My brief explanation:
1. The first guns were not very good, you'd aim at One guy's head, And hit another guy's foot. So by having a row of people all aiming at the same Target, you're more likely to kill them.
2. Standing in a line means you're not going to accidentally shoot your buddy in front of you.
3. Guys on horses were The Pinnacle of deadly, too fast to shoot with your crappy gun, so big and strong they can run you over and kill you. You need a bunch of guys stabbing the same horse with bayonets if you're going to survive.
I don't think droids can have the Force, but I do think they can be favoured by the Force.
Ahsoka's species is Togruta. From what I have gleaned, they are predators, but they are also very connected to nature. The first season of "Tale of the Jedi" shorts series has half of it being about Ahsoka. The first episode, "Life and Death" is about Pav-Ti, her mother, taking Ahsoka on her first hunt (Pav-Ti uses a hunting blaster-rifle). That portrays Togruta who live in country villages on Shilli (their homeworld) as being something I think is inspired by traditional Native American of the more northern states (pine forests and mountains).
In other details, the horn-like points on her head are Montrals, which are skin-covered hollow bone organs that give Togruta echolocation senses. They are possibly a big part of their hearing too. Both montrals and lekku (which Togruta have 3 - two at the shoulders and a fatter one at the back) grow as they age, which can be seen on Shaak-Ti and how long her lekku are, or in the Zygerian arc, which is about a Togruta colony being taken as slaves.
There was some fuss about the live action Ahsoka was her lekku and montrals were not as long as people hoped, but it was an issue of practical movement for Rosario. They managed to make it better by the _Ahsoka_ series, but not extremely longer. The series also had some great lekku on Hera as well (Hera Syndulla is Twi-Lek).
It seems the Fandom begrudges the AniSoka ship a fair bit, and one can get a good perspective on that if one watches episode 5 of _Ahsoka_ . A bit spoilery, Ahsoka has a vision quest where she relives some bits of the Clone Wars, and thus the actor playing Ahsoka in those scenes was probably 15 at filming (Ariana Greenblatt). It makes it easier to see how young Ahsoka she really was during the war.
That is not even counting the Padme issue, as more mutually adult ships, like Obikin (Obi-Wan/Anakin) gives some in-story explainer in fics.
I choose to think Rotta was on Nal Hutta with part of his extended family when Luke, Leia and Lando came to rescue Han. Hell, maybe Rotta has a mother on teh Hutt homeworld that has split custody with Jabba.
On shipping Ventress, I think this series gives a lot of ground for her and Obi-Wan, but her canon ship is Quinlan Vos, who does appear in the show, in season 3. I am under the impression the "Dark Disciple" story was a cut TCW plot that got turned into a novel instead, but nI have also heard Filoni considers it canon, which is curious considering her appearance in _The Bad Batch_ .
Secons, Ventress _was_ a Jedi... kinda. She was rescued from slavers by a Jedi, Ky Narec, but Ky got stuck on a Wild space planet, Rattatak. Ky eventually got killed by the criminal gangs, and Ventress had to go it alone, ended up Falling, and then Dooku found her.
Meanwhile, on shipping Laurel Dooky, well Dooku has a Legends story, where he had a padawan named Komari Vosa, who had a serious crush on him. Keep in mind, this is a teenage girl lusting after a middle-aged man who is her mentor. Apparently she went missing during a mission and later emerged as a leader of the cult that mision had been fighting.
(P.S. My nickname of Laurel Dooky is because of the audio puzzle of a certain sounds being heard both as "Laurel" and "Yanny". Dooku's given name is Yan.)
Ziro's voice is heavily based on someone, but I don't recall who. But definitely a guy with a high voice like that.
You guys should look into the Animated Clone Wars mini series done for Cartoon Network.
I promise you'll enjoy the ride, and, being a mini series, the whole thing isn't too far off from the length of a movie.
Good man Caleb. Dooku rocks! 🤘
People said this movie was trash it had actually aired in theaters before the whole show and as someone who saw this movie when i was 8 and still watch it when im 20 i don’t understand the hate for this movie
You guys should check out a video about lightsaber styles. There you can really get the many different styles that actually exist in cannon.
it was a darth maul soundtrack
Ashoka Tano is a part of a humanoid race known as the Tagruta
If you love Dooku, you will love Tales of the Jedi.
It's been a long time ago that I read them but I also really loved Robin Hobb books
Tales of the Jedi miniseries is dooku backstory. Brilliantly done in 3 short stories.
My recommendation is to watch Tales of the Jedi now in chronological order. You can find websites detailing where each episode falls in the chronology. Most of them take place before Clone Wars but at least one you would watch concurrent with Clone Wars and one much later.
Hi Meg, I enjoyed watching your reaction to Star Wars The Clone Wars with my best friend! We watched this movie a few years ago and we enjoyed it! We had fun watching your reaction to it! We really like the Clone Wars series as well. What do you think of it Meg? :) :)
In the expanded universe/Legends books, Hutts reproduce asexually, switching from male to female when they're ready to have a baby.
Finally y’all are watching Star Wars the Clone Wars movie 😊
Ahsoka best Togruta ever
omg hello ahsoka!!!!! nice to meet you!!
