I agree with you. But at the same time we understand what is gonna come later in the movie. Also another emotional part for me was when The helmet closed on Anakin as he took his first breath as Vader, that part gave me goosebumps and to this day that scene still gives me goosebumps.
@@exsuspalp5078 That was justifiable. And I don't want to hear that bs about the women and children being innocent. They kidnapped an innocent woman who was doing nothing more than picking mushrooms off vaporators on her own property. They took her back to their encampment, where they strung her up to a post crucifixion-style. They took turns beating her with gaffi sticks, leaving her with broken bones and internal hemorrhaging. They did this, day in and day out, for a period of a month. A search party went after them, a search party of 30 people--the Tuskens killed 26 of those 30, and chopped Cliegg's leg off. The Tusken Raiders were brutal savages and probably did the same to others. Anakin did everyone a favor by wiping them out. Anakin should have claimed the entire planet of them.
Idk why people say that it’s not believable that season 7 Anakin can turn... he’s still the hero, but apart from the obvious Vader personality that he has sometimes (when he killed admiral trench for example), you can clearly see how he is an extremely tired man, no longer enthusiastic and faking to be alright. It’s strange no one asked him “is everything okay?”. His behavior is similar to ROTS, he seems to smile and be happy but he’s clearly not OK inside. I would have loved to see more of him in s7, since the fatigue of the outer rim sieges certainly had an impact on his ability to think rationally in ROTS
That’s was one of the problems with the Jedi council they told him to ignore his feelings, which is not healthy for any person. Plus over the years the council never respected him for what he did a lot of the stuff in rots got done because of Anakin the war would be different without him, Dooku would be alive and probably obi wan be dead
He is fine when his friend are with him and he constantly communicating with Padme. But when they are not around he shows his true personality. He was smiling when he was with bad batch and Rex but right after he left them to find Trench his face looked so similar to when the Son make him fall to the dark side.
21~22 years old so stressed and tired the only thing literally probably keeping him even moving is the force just like the novelization of ROTS quoted the force can keep him upright keep him moving keep him going 😔

The scenes in every episode seem to become prolonged than before, and you can tell that there’s not much time left for order 66 to be revealed.

@@TheLuconic I love ROTS, I love the Clone Wars, but I would be pissed if they were to animate it. However, if they make an animated “movie” of the crystal crisis arc I’ll love that because we all just want to see more newly animated Anakin, Obi Wan, and Grievous
When the show originally got canceled and then they released the unfinished reels with the season 7 models, I was so sad we'd never get to see the fully finished clone wars style episode 3 Anakin. It was worth the the seven year wait!
People saying that it's hard to imagine that this is Vader, but honestly, I can see it. This is how Vader acts, only much more intimidating and murder happy, with less patience when it comes to his subordinates and not as relaxed
That moment where he senses ahsoka, he's so good that it almost makes up for the horrible arc. I'm sure you all know it's a reference to return of the Jedi
I really appreciate the clone wars because it shows how Anakin's character develops to a place where he is taken over by Darth Vader. Imo the prequel trilogy doesn't develop him enough to get him there
Just because it’s a show doesn’t mean you can’t get emotional, the most times I’ve cried at media was during Star war’s, especially clone wars and rebels
@@Capybara2240 Yes for me the Clone Wars animated series and Rebels with the introduction of Ahsoka and Maul is the best of all Star Wars. I absolutely love Ahsoka, Maul was incredible, and the animated series portrayed the fall of Anakin much better than the movies. I cant ever remember crying at any movie but Clone Wars and Rebels got me going many times
@@anton.chigrinetc.96 You're right. To be exact, the events of RotS span 4 days - to be fair to Sasha though, the film doesn't exactly do a great job of portraying the passage of time, the official novelization does it much better.
You know after The bad batch came out, 1:35 becomes more interesting, Anakin senses crosshair as an immediate threat, Crosshair also hold his blaster pointed at Anakin for some time before they both lower their weapons. Seems like Crosshair had no issue killing Jedi before order 66 came into affect
Fun Fact: The way that Anakin kills the giant Spider Droid at 2:42 is extremely similar to animation used in the old Xbox 360 game Star Wars: the Clone Wars Republic Heroes when killing the same exact time of droid. Look up some footage of the first level in the game, and you’ll see what I mean at the end. If that was intentional, that was a great way reference to a pretty obscure piece of Star Wars media that came out around the same time this TV show started!
some say anakin was "dark" for killing trench and i would disagree bc it was technically self defense since trench attacked him with the electric cane and to be fair, anakin warned him he had no weaknesses or that he would kill him like dooku would. i still think anakin is the chosen one and although he did bad things, you can't blame him for turning to the dark side knowing all the doubt and lack of support on top of losing so much. i feel the jedi council was responsible for holding him back and doubting him since he was little. i know there were concerns but still fair to support him like any jedi
Is it just me or does Anakin seem to be way less Anakin then he used to be. Less quippyness, less jokes, less everything we loved about him. Makes sense, it is newring revenge of the sith. I just cant see Vader in lanter's Anakin.
@@JyggaIag but they still should've gotten more screen time. have u seen the unfinished crystal crisis arc? it was absolutely one of the bests in the show and it's a crime that it wasn't included in the final season but we got those horrible sisters instead. we wanted clone wars, not the ahsoka fest. anakin and obiwan were integral to the show's success
@@lexiw20 Either way, the seasons focus wasn’t Anakin and Obi Wan. Their story continues in revenge of the Sith. Rex and Ahsoka’s story is clone wars season 7, like it or hate it.
@@lexiw20 Literally the only thing that was important in utapau arc was him talking about Ahsoka. Everything else isn’t important to anything at all. They were just cool episodes. They picked the episodes based on what was actually important for the finale. I wish we saw the other arcs anyway but if they were only including the important ones, it makes sense why the others weren’t included. The only arc that should’ve been made but couldn’t was the Son Of Dathomir arc which didn’t get made because it was already made into comics before S7 came back. Also, it makes sense why they didn’t show up that much when we already know what they’ll do in ROTS anyway.
And 5:49 when Anakin saw Ashoka like he woke up from depression and then when they met in person he looked at her with such affection like he would thought My Baby is here with me again, my Sweet Ashoka, I missed her so much, like he wanted to turn her to him and hug her and kiss her, tell her everything that he felt and later when he gave her lightsabers and left her alone she looked like She wanted say to him what she had felt but she went coward on him and shuted her mouth, they love eachother, and were eachothers soulmates
It had to match Hayden’s hairstyle from ROTS as season 7 of Clone Wars is literally set weeks before the Episode III so they had to make his hair long to march Anakin from the movies.
Still frustrated to this day about people talking about this "high ground" thing with Obiwan on Mustafar as a physical/realistic issue. Anakin spent most of the clone wars - lightsaber duels included - jumping around everywhere, both in series and movies. Being 1 meter downhill from your opponent was NEVER stated as being an issue, for such accomplished warriors : they basically almost fly, and can push themselves or others, at anytime, to change their courses/gravity, or deflect almost anything. It always sounded more like a philosophical stand point, the MORALE high ground, making Anakin rage "weak", as he's losing himself, and his noble strenght, to the dark side, and he's just trying to lie to himself. Obiwan really looks like he's saying : "you know you're fooling yourself, stop this madness, you know I tell the truth, you know the Jedis are the good side, here, if there's any. You know I got the morale high ground in this pointless debate and battle between each other, brother. Just surrender and give up your foolishly murderous errands, here. You can't win this argument of catastrophic proportions. You can't beat me like this. It's a whole. And you're fighting the wrong person, for the wrong reasons. And that's why you're not winning here, and already have lost, somehow, even if you beat me. I got the (morale) high ground." Seeing him take down a building-tall droid artillery like he was pouring himself a cup of tea on a chill sunday sure reinforce my conviction about that. Please make a point to reinstall the true meaning of this high ground. Jedis are freaking demi-gods of war feats and virtue. Not out of breath amateur athletes slipping on a simple sommersault.
What you're saying is right. In any other context/battle Anakin would've won but remember, he isn't fighting a droid, or a jedi apprentice, he is fighting his former master Obi-Wan, maybe against any other adversary below obi wan that move is completely safe to use but this was a Jedi master at his prime, who defeated Darth maul (later kills him in one move) if at all Obi Wan is the master of using an opponent's mistake to win a fight, in ROTS it was Anakin's arrogance, sober (haha) light side Anakin wouldn't have attempted that move ON Obi-Wan. Plus obi-wan was practically destined/trained to fight and win against Anakin from the very beginning. There's a video on it, cheers.
I'm so glad you included Admiral Yularen saying Anakin Skywalker in the opening narration. Without Tom Kane telling me who Anakin Skywalker is every episode, I wouldn't know who that was.
It's hard to believe that he trained ahsoka but he did it for the right reason so she can become a greater Jedi and Anakin he was the chosen one he was supposed to bring balance to the force not destroy it and in the end it destroyed him too
For those who wanted me of anakin,George Lucas had a season 6/7/8 made for clone wars before Disney canceled it ( to pander to toxic prequel bashers). So we COULD have gotten more but instead all we got was half of 6/7(more like half of 6/8 because this season 7 is actually the second half of 8,and 7is entirely forgotten)
The reason it was canceled was because it was on CN, which s a competitor of Disney Channel. I'm not sure why they couldn't continue it on Disney XD; they had the rights to continue it on Disney+
Does Disney and Cartoon Network for that matter realize that fake surrendering then attacking is a war crime? Because I noticed even In early seasons they do that shit all the time.
I would love to see an alternate universe where they end the war and anakin saves padme by not believing palpatine's lies and the mirror where ezra can see timelines take the jedi master anakin to face darth vader. 1 on 1. Prime jedi anakin vs sith lord anakin.

The last time Ahsoka saw Anakin is the last time we ever see the Anakin we know from The Clone Wars. :(
4:31 this scene is similar to Ep6 when Luke and the pals tryna pass thru the Endor code
It’s a direct homage and that shot of Anakin and Yularen on that area of the bridge is perfectly lined up with ROTJ.
01:13 "Nobody knows we're here. So you're free to use any means necessary, but we need them alive: NO disintegrations."
„As you wish“
3:43-4:15
I never thought I’d feel sorry for Admiral Trench
I wouldn't mine a remake of the revenge of the sith with this style of animation.... And new saber fights and extra scenes. And better dialogue.....
Disney is not going for that tho
@@umbrellacorporation9168 Continuing to shoot themselves in the foot..... They are. Plus I did say it would be nice. Not that it's in the making. Read the lines buddy. Read the lines.
@@TheLuconic I love ROTS, I love the Clone Wars, but I would be pissed if they were to animate it. However, if they make an animated “movie” of the crystal crisis arc I’ll love that because we all just want to see more newly animated Anakin, Obi Wan, and Grievous
@@tanner5809 That's just it isn't it. We want to see more Anakin, Obi Wan and Grievous fights. Maybe some Dooku.
@@TheLuconic What about Son of Dathomir?
3:20 This is supposed to be an Anakin Skywalker video, not a Darth Vader video
Still Anakin
@@darthmalice7464 I’m not serious....
@@darthmalice7464 wooosh to you my friend
@@robinhauser6155 I don't really care but okie.
@@hp9351 Sorry for offending you then. I said my opinion, take it or leave it. 😹
That last scene between Anakin and Ahsoka always gets me! Knowing it's the last time they see each other as family!
I absolutely adore the last arc using music from the movies. It really does feel like an extension of Revenge of the Sith.
The ending always breaks my heart if only things were different.
Say what you want, but the Clone Wars did an amazing job making an already heartbreaking story even more heartbreaking
When the show originally got canceled and then they released the unfinished reels with the season 7 models, I was so sad we'd never get to see the fully finished clone wars style episode 3 Anakin. It was worth the the seven year wait!
"What're you doing down there?🙄"
*Casually dodges bullet*
1:35
I think this is a hint to CrossHair and Vader working together to take down the rest of clone force 99 in the future of bad batch
Since Crosshair’s been burned, maybe they’ll have some camaraderie because they have been both burned trying to stop their former friends.
5:04 i love this scene
You know its nearing the end when anakins hair gets long...
People saying that it's hard to imagine that this is Vader, but honestly, I can see it. This is how Vader acts, only much more intimidating and murder happy, with less patience when it comes to his subordinates and not as relaxed
This is the best part of S7, any time anakin shows up
The lightsabers looked so good in season 7
everything did
I would say that Anakin is the most Human character in the entirety of the franchise 💯🤔
Which makes his downfall the more tragic
That moment where he senses ahsoka, he's so good that it almost makes up for the horrible arc. I'm sure you all know it's a reference to return of the Jedi
Yeah when Luke and Vader sense each other!
This arc wasn't even horrible buddy
@@djwitdaheat9750 think he meant the dumb sisters arc
I really appreciate the clone wars because it shows how Anakin's character develops to a place where he is taken over by Darth Vader. Imo the prequel trilogy doesn't develop him enough to get him there
The moment when you Realise That the scene of 6:32 was the last time Ahsoka saw the Light in Anakin
Video starts: Anakin Skywalker
Watching the last part with Ashoka and Anakin really hit me in the feelings. Like that’s the last time she saw Anakin again…at least it was a smile
I know it’s just a show but I still get teary-eyed every time.
Just because it’s a show doesn’t mean you can’t get emotional, the most times I’ve cried at media was during Star war’s, especially clone wars and rebels
@@Capybara2240 Yes for me the Clone Wars animated series and Rebels with the introduction of Ahsoka and Maul is the best of all Star Wars. I absolutely love Ahsoka, Maul was incredible, and the animated series portrayed the fall of Anakin much better than the movies. I cant ever remember crying at any movie but Clone Wars and Rebels got me going many times
@@tomlathrop4094 i totally agree 👍
I always noticed that Anakin is very muscular, I don't even know how Anakin kept his cool with all those female Jedi and other females.
Because he's happily married to Padme.
He was muscular in the 2-D Clone Wars microseries from 2003 as well.
There a reason he a large fan base
Padme: *hints she is pregnant*
Fans: Wait didnt she tell Anakin she was pregnant in RotS?
Finally, somebody said that.
Well there's a period of 9 months between the beginning of ROTS and the end, so I think this takes place somewhere in between
@@alexdale8705
Are you sure? The movie looks like everything happened within a couple of days.
@@anton.chigrinetc.96 You're right. To be exact, the events of RotS span 4 days - to be fair to Sasha though, the film doesn't exactly do a great job of portraying the passage of time, the official novelization does it much better.
I like how they included many of Star Wars core themes as a farewell to Anakin’s character
I hope we will see him in "The Bad Batch"!
Kinda impossible since it’s after order 66
@O M I think he means see him as Vader
You know after The bad batch came out, 1:35 becomes more interesting, Anakin senses crosshair as an immediate threat, Crosshair also hold his blaster pointed at Anakin for some time before they both lower their weapons. Seems like Crosshair had no issue killing Jedi before order 66 came into affect
can we take a moment to appreciate how good the animation was in szn 7?? Literally perfection!!
I like the scene where his lightsaber drops off his belt and lands next to Rex. Its a mirror if Obi-wan's saber landing next to Cody in ROTS
Fun Fact: The way that Anakin kills the giant Spider Droid at 2:42 is extremely similar to animation used in the old Xbox 360 game Star Wars: the Clone Wars Republic Heroes when killing the same exact time of droid. Look up some footage of the first level in the game, and you’ll see what I mean at the end.
If that was intentional, that was a great way reference to a pretty obscure piece of Star Wars media that came out around the same time this TV show started!
Nah fr I remember fighting that shit in the first level, seems like an intentional callback to me.
Had the game on the psp. It was so similar
Remember this in the Lego Wii game
Everyone loves it when Anakin is pissed
the animation design is brilliant. he looks so tired, so worn down. its so sad
some say anakin was "dark" for killing trench and i would disagree bc it was technically self defense since trench attacked him with the electric cane and to be fair, anakin warned him he had no weaknesses or that he would kill him like dooku would. i still think anakin is the chosen one and although he did bad things, you can't blame him for turning to the dark side knowing all the doubt and lack of support on top of losing so much. i feel the jedi council was responsible for holding him back and doubting him since he was little. i know there were concerns but still fair to support him like any jedi
Is it just me or does Anakin seem to be way less Anakin then he used to be. Less quippyness, less jokes, less everything we loved about him. Makes sense, it is newring revenge of the sith.
I just cant see Vader in lanter's Anakin.
When Anakin has to be the parent of the group, you know that's gonna be a fun group.
"I have come to surrender..."
Ankin Skywalker - Committing war crimes before turning into Darth Vader
She should've gotten WAY more screen time. Ridiculous how he and Obi-Wan were sidelined in season 7.
Him and Obi wan aren’t the main focus of season 7, Rex and Ahsoka are.
@@JyggaIag but they still should've gotten more screen time. have u seen the unfinished crystal crisis arc? it was absolutely one of the bests in the show and it's a crime that it wasn't included in the final season but we got those horrible sisters instead. we wanted clone wars, not the ahsoka fest. anakin and obiwan were integral to the show's success
@@lexiw20 Either way, the seasons focus wasn’t Anakin and Obi Wan. Their story continues in revenge of the Sith. Rex and Ahsoka’s story is clone wars season 7, like it or hate it.
@@JyggaIag i actually liked it but it would have been cool to show them fighting or his turn to the dark side
@@lexiw20 Literally the only thing that was important in utapau arc was him talking about Ahsoka. Everything else isn’t important to anything at all. They were just cool episodes. They picked the episodes based on what was actually important for the finale. I wish we saw the other arcs anyway but if they were only including the important ones, it makes sense why the others weren’t included. The only arc that should’ve been made but couldn’t was the Son Of Dathomir arc which didn’t get made because it was already made into comics before S7 came back.
Also, it makes sense why they didn’t show up that much when we already know what they’ll do in ROTS anyway.
4:09 that sounds familiar
Lmao
And 5:49 when Anakin saw Ashoka like he woke up from depression and then when they met in person he looked at her with such affection like he would thought My Baby is here with me again, my Sweet Ashoka, I missed her so much, like he wanted to turn her to him and hug her and kiss her, tell her everything that he felt and later when he gave her lightsabers and left her alone she looked like She wanted say to him what she had felt but she went coward on him and shuted her mouth, they love eachother, and were eachothers soulmates
Ahsoka: good luck
Anakin: Join me and together we can rule the galaxy
The main clue that this takes place alongside Star Wars Episode 3: Anakin and Obi-Wan's models have been updated to look like their movie versions
Anakin's hair grew. Nice!
It had to match Hayden’s hairstyle from ROTS as season 7 of Clone Wars is literally set weeks before the Episode III so they had to make his hair long to march Anakin from the movies.
His last smile seems so forced :(
No one knows about his worries, nightmares and how lost he feels inside. Or no one takes care...
That one scene with Padme had better writing then all the scenes from the whole prequels
The last mission that Anakin and Rex did together
4:28 very vader-like post-kill taunt
You also missed when Anakin was talking about the clones giving respect to Ahsoka
Still frustrated to this day about people talking about this "high ground" thing with Obiwan on Mustafar as a physical/realistic issue.
Anakin spent most of the clone wars - lightsaber duels included - jumping around everywhere, both in series and movies.
Being 1 meter downhill from your opponent was NEVER stated as being an issue, for such accomplished warriors : they basically almost fly, and can push themselves or others, at anytime, to change their courses/gravity, or deflect almost anything.
It always sounded more like a philosophical stand point, the MORALE high ground, making Anakin rage "weak", as he's losing himself, and his noble strenght, to the dark side, and he's just trying to lie to himself.
Obiwan really looks like he's saying : "you know you're fooling yourself, stop this madness, you know I tell the truth, you know the Jedis are the good side, here, if there's any.
You know I got the morale high ground in this pointless debate and battle between each other, brother.
Just surrender and give up your foolishly murderous errands, here.
You can't win this argument of catastrophic proportions.
You can't beat me like this.
It's a whole. And you're fighting the wrong person, for the wrong reasons.
And that's why you're not winning here, and already have lost, somehow, even if you beat me.
I got the (morale) high ground."
Seeing him take down a building-tall droid artillery like he was pouring himself a cup of tea on a chill sunday sure reinforce my conviction about that.
Please make a point to reinstall the true meaning of this high ground.
Jedis are freaking demi-gods of war feats and virtue.
Not out of breath amateur athletes slipping on a simple sommersault.
What you're saying is right. In any other context/battle Anakin would've won but remember, he isn't fighting a droid, or a jedi apprentice, he is fighting his former master Obi-Wan, maybe against any other adversary below obi wan that move is completely safe to use but this was a Jedi master at his prime, who defeated Darth maul (later kills him in one move) if at all Obi Wan is the master of using an opponent's mistake to win a fight, in ROTS it was Anakin's arrogance, sober (haha) light side Anakin wouldn't have attempted that move ON Obi-Wan. Plus obi-wan was practically destined/trained to fight and win against Anakin from the very beginning. There's a video on it, cheers.
I think Anakin would be a perfect general for clone force 99, their attitude and battle plans would be perfect together
The start is just „anakin skywalker“ lol
I'm so glad you included Admiral Yularen saying Anakin Skywalker in the opening narration. Without Tom Kane telling me who Anakin Skywalker is every episode, I wouldn't know who that was.
Season 7 Anakin was the best.
I just want a version of star wars universe in which Anakin gets to have a happy life with his loved ones...
“No blasting, no blowing things up, nobody knows we’re he-“ *Door Violently Opens*
I wonder if the Bad Batch are going to see Anakin again in the new show (CW Season 8) as Vader
It's hard to believe that he trained ahsoka but he did it for the right reason so she can become a greater Jedi and Anakin he was the chosen one he was supposed to bring balance to the force not destroy it and in the end it destroyed him too
For those who wanted me of anakin,George Lucas had a season 6/7/8 made for clone wars before Disney canceled it ( to pander to toxic prequel bashers). So we COULD have gotten more but instead all we got was half of 6/7(more like half of 6/8 because this season 7 is actually the second half of 8,and 7is entirely forgotten)
That really fucking sucks
The reason it was canceled was because it was on CN, which s a competitor of Disney Channel. I'm not sure why they couldn't continue it on Disney XD; they had the rights to continue it on Disney+
6:28 For some reason it sounded like they were gonna play LotR Hobbit’s Shire music theme...
Funny. It sounded like that to me as well
Does Disney and Cartoon Network for that matter realize that fake surrendering then attacking is a war crime? Because I noticed even In early seasons they do that shit all the time.
I would love to see an alternate universe where they end the war and anakin saves padme by not believing palpatine's lies and the mirror where ezra can see timelines take the jedi master anakin to face darth vader. 1 on 1. Prime jedi anakin vs sith lord anakin.
Would be to easy it would only be worth watching when Sith Lord Anakin don’t loose on Mustafar than it would be really interesting
Hello, Fordo.
I love the blue lightsaber color even more after watching this video!! 💙💙
Title: *Anakin Skywalker*
The first words of the video: *"Anakin Skywalker!"*
*"that's...why I'm here"*
Bald clones... *facepalm*
5:28
"...You have committed yet another war crime"
Hmm I don't see the last minute or so of the last episode, but I guess arguments can be made that that wasn't Anakin.
This Anakin always comes off as a progidy in his late 20s almost 30. But in the prequels he's definitely an angsty young man
He’s only 22
Only Revenge of the Sith - paints him as a young man: with uncertainty, doubts, and ulterior motives.
The rest... *wayyyyy* before "the Clone Wars" series...
Lol
