Rookies is the first episode of the Malevolance arc... Anyway, I enjoyed it. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it sucks... But yes, it's definitely not as good as episodes in later seasons.
My favorite fun fact about the making of the show is that the creators had to find a way to avoid Grievous and Anakin from meeting for 6 seasons because of an off-hand line in Revenge of the Sith that suggested that the two had never met until then.
@@MythicBricks That scene was really cool because they never actually looked at each other. Aankin was half unconscious and so was looking down at the ground as he was dragged. Greivous was a) Binded in some way and couldn't look and b) So full of himself that he didn't care less who he was swapped for.

BUT we get introduced to Gregor and the clone commandos as a concept, and we find out that Gregor survive order 66 and the empire and is living with Rex in rebels.

Exactly. Then in the movies, the only thing that makes it apparent of him going to the dark side is his obsession with preventing Padme's death. While in the show you can actually feel and see some of the decisions that make him lean closer to the dark side. How much in-fighting he had with the Jedi. How his rage can sometimes take over rather than in the movies its played off as just inexperience and naivety.
Uhhh it did a lot of that in the movies as well like killing all the sand people.... Like fucking all of them also he killed count dooku he went against the Jedi rules and dated and married padme he wanted more power he was selfish he wanted to save padme from death sooo yea
One of my favorite exchanges from this show: Dooku: Without ugly in this world, there would be nothing beautiful. Obi-Wan: Thank you for your sacrifice
One thing I loved about Clone Wars is that it made the Clones, these faceless soldiers that are nothing but a plot device in the movies, actual people.
Thank u. The most impressing part of clone wars is how they made the clones characters instead of flesh beings with chips in their heads. Umbara is my favorite arc.
"Season 1 sucks, just skip it" DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU Malevolence Arc Ryloth Arc Obi Wan, Dooku, Anakin captured by Hondo Kit Fisto vs Grievous Rex and Cody finding the traitor AND WE MUST NEVER FORGET ROOKIES
I love the clone wars but this guy is uncultured. He doesn’t appreciate the excellent arcs in season 1 (not saying it’s the best season but that doesn’t make it bad when all the other season set such a rediculously high standard). Also the prequels were not bad, there were certainly flaws in those movies especially 2 and kinda 1 but episode 3 was amazing and in the context of Star Wars the characters actions even Anakin make sense even now that we have the Clone Wars. Again I am not saying there are no issues with the movies but I found them generally great movies.
Seriously though, in my opinion the major issue with the prequels wasn’t the storyline or the acting. It was the appalling dialogue that sort of made the scenes awkward. Many people blame Hayden Christensen for acting badly and too awkwardly but I think that he did his best with the script he was given. Besides, Anakin is supposed to be awkward especially in Attack of the Clones. In Revenge if the Sith, I believe that he was meant to be more conflicted so his whining sort of makes sense, however looking back at Clone Wars Anakin, there’s no competition between who is the best. They’re two different interpretations of him.
@@KangarooMonkey yee that’s what I mean. With the script that the actors were given they couldn’t make it work. But it’s not like the entire script is bad at least they made the ending good.
@@KangarooMonkey Direction. Not acting. If it was down to acting, Samuel L Jackson could make the lines work. Actors have to put a LOT of faith in the direction, and feedback they get. The actors were doing the best they could with bad dialogue, and utterly shit direction.
Exactly! I just watched the episode with 5's and order 66 and my god I so wanted 5's to succeed and for that conspiracy to be revealed but it was even more heartbreaking that he doesn't 🥺 I've almost finished clone wars and it is gonna be even more heartbreaking watching order 66 happen knowing it was so close to be stopped...
In the movies the Clones are how Windu sees them: as Soldiers In the show they are portraied like Anakin and Obi-Wan see them: As humans with feelings Just a perfect show
I honestly feel this show makes the movies better like Order 66 is more impactful after spending more time with guys like Plo Koon and Ki Adi Mundi and Aayla Secure.
EXACTLY! There were others also featured like Kit-Fisto and Saessee Tinn who had brief cameos in the film have centric roles in the clone wars. Hell fun fact here, Admiral Yularen is actually one of the lead imperial officers in ANH, he is the guy in the white suit during the conference scene. It sucks he turned into an imperial douchebag when he was such a nice guy in TCW
“George Lucas did not make this tv show” he literally came up with the idea to make the show to properly explain the prequels better and would oversee production for nearly every episode up till season 7
@@KangarooMonkey I think Marcus knew that George was involved, but he said that because he knew that he wasn't a big part of it, I mean, "created by George Lucas" is at the end of every episode, I don't think he thought that George had no involvement in TCW
This show also makes "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" have actual weight and pain to it. Watching Anakin evolve, how the war shaped him and his views, showing why Anakin and Padme work so well together, etc better explains his actions in the movie. Everything from how heartbreaking it is to watch Obi Won and Anakin fight to even the more mundane things, like why Anakin would be ticked about being denied the title of Jedi Master--since he's one of the most successful generals in the war. It's all there and even though the dialogue and vicariously the acting is still painful, your personal, emotional investment now exists thanks to this show. I can fucking go on and on about how much I love this show. Yeah, watch this show. Fall in love with the real Anakin Skywalker.
IchSagNurSchelle Especially knowing that Commander Cody was involved and didn’t get his chip out in time fucking felt like getting your organs ripped out slowly while your eyes are getting punctured and you’re still conscious.
personally i still do not like revenge of the sith. note anakin was somewhat justified in killing dooku since he couldn't be taken prisoner in a million years based on their situation, less justified in killing those sand people but they did kill his mother (note it explains his reasoning doesn't justify his actions in killing the sand people), however killing children and innocents, trusting a sith is better than the jedi (even though the jedi are fairly flawed it is like saying i hate the hypocrisy of the U.S and join nazi germany), and putting so much faith in an unclear vision that you indirectly cause it. And did this guy really think padme would never find out much less forgive him for the countless people he's killed. Also under the emporer he condones and in fact bolsters with brute force the slavery of multiple species including wookeis (given he's given in at this point the transistion just doesn't work). The primary issue is anakin's process in thinking the darkside could possibly save padme. And why the hell did anakin even remoltey 100% trust sidious? Like WHY? He could've left the jedi order just as ashoka did.
@@ravimanne8148 I agree. Most of the movie is bonkers in the leaps of logic and the complete lack of any angle that would make sense in motivations. I only meant that Star Wars Clone Wars creates Anakin as a fully fleshed-out person with both good and bad parts. In the series, he makes a lot of choices that the Jedi frown on, but normal people would consider commendable, like not giving up on Ashoka when it was believed she died or risking his life with his men, valuing every single clone's life, and feeling real emotion and empathy when any of his men died. (Which considering how much he valued life and wouldn't give up until every option was exhausted to save people, what he did in episode 3 is even more WTF?) The SWCW series allows the viewer at least some type of real emotional connection and regret when Anakin falls to the dark side. That's all.
The Clone Wars show is for kids. Executions by firing squad and beheading, suicide, people being tortured to death, executing a bunch of innocent people, more beheading, filibusters, government corruption and embargoes, war profiteering, and brainworm parasites. Things kids would totally understand and enjoy.
owen the Master RIGHT???? The clones are one of the reasons I love this show I love this era in Star Wars how can you not mention fives or captain Rex at all but anyway I’m glad he is spreading the word cause this show was my child hood
It just doesn’t feel right to see Anakin as so different and the script being weird but apparently the movie gets better with time and it’s not the worst.
The fight between maul and sidious was amazing it's one of the only times you get to actually see just how dangerous sidious was with a lightsaber besides when he fought windu
It got good. At first, season one and a good part of season two, sucked. Latter half of 2 and onward, really developed the characters and the story. One of my favorite parts of the whole show was Thrawn.
@@sulturwood3226 to be fair, thrawn is one of the single greatest characters of the entire old expanded universe, and not including him or doing him justice would be handing the fans another reason to flay disney alive for their treatment of star wars.
would you ever upload it anywhere? id love to see it, the clones are my favorites and they dont get mentioned that much so whenever they do i get so happy. this is great tho, im gonna show this vid to my friends who're considering watching it!

Oh boy they are definitely far from good. Taking children and brainwashing their parents only to turn them into child soldiers at the age of 15 is just one of their jobs
yea the show does a great job of showing them as this entrenched and aloof institution that doesnt reckon with the fact that it is essentially a glorified police force for the republic, which a lot of people dont like and for good reason
@@LCM-vo1rj I just tried looking for it there and saw it was gone. Only now do I want to watch this show and I don't like pirating, but really don't want to pay for another subscription just to watch one show :/
how dare you! obi-wans jokes were amazing! the "what do you think the height of stupidity is master? "anakin how tall are you?" was having anakin more burnt then on mustafar
"Anakin," "What?" "Control your insolence. The Count is concentrating." Not only did he burn Anakin with that line, he made Dooku hate him 15x more than he did before.
even though i’m not sure that specific line is in TCW, i LOVE how obi-wan went from figuratively to literally burning anakin :D if he wasn’t so clever and cheeky and quick witted, his character would have a completely different demeanor. it adds a really good element to the show.
S7 E9 was some of the best Star Wars content I’ve seen yet Edit: Just watched episode 10 and may I just say... Damn Edit #2: Episode 11 kinda emotionally destroyed me Edit #3: Episode 12 was probably the best way to end the series. It has the action and heart of Star Wars, and my only complaint is that it should have been longer, but other than that, this arc was just great Edit #4: First couple episodes of bad batch are out, pretty good, but doesn't hit the same as siege of mandalore. To be fair, high standards to live up to
One of the best things about the Clone Wars is how it improves the world of the sequels. In the movies, the world of the Republic and Coruscant feels like an empty set piece. The Clone Wars really fleshes it out. You get to actually understand the culture and the politics and what's going on in this society. You learn how things work. It makes the world feel more alive.
"You get to actually understand the culture and the politics and what's going on in this society. You learn how things work. It makes the world feel more alive." We already got that feeling from the PT already
@@sarveshnathan7559 no we didn't. The prequels made the politics look boring and glossed over its world building (people just flew through planets). The prequels improved on all that
I've been drilling through the ok 1st season. And now at last, I'm on the good shit.Im up to season 2 now and you can see the huge improvement in animation. I know I could have just started on season 2, but it doesn't feel right. You have to watch it from the start.
I started watching clone wars a few weeks ago and it’s AMAZING. Best piece of media Star Wars has. The lightsaber fuels are amazing and so is the action. It’s now my fav show
Clone Wars: made for kids Also Clone Wars: (below) Umbara Arch: Vietnam War, firing squads, and friendly fire Ryloth Arch: Human shields, civilian casualties, forced labor, embracing the fact people die in war, and Middle East fighting Sigerian Slave Empire Arch: right in the name ... oh and innocent and neutral populations being dragged into war and random killing and maybe suicide maybe not idk Any episode with clones: Personalizing "living droids" and giving them identities Cad Bane Arch(s): Hostage crisis and kidnapping children Onderon Arch: WWII resistance movements oversimplified Corruption Arch: Corruption, what's inside food, and illegal smuggling Nightsisters Arch: f***ing cults and voodoo dolls Younglings Arch: kids being abandoned and pirates Orto Plutonia Arch: War between colonials and natives who just want to be left alone but the colonials don't give a crap Mortis Arch: representation of not only the Force, but humanity's behaviors itself Mon Cala Arch: Different peoples warring for power and politics after a leader is killed (basically all of China's history) Any Arch including Savage: serial killer on the loose with an axe and a double bladed lightsaber Maul's (first) Mandalore Arch: Government overthrowings, criminal syndicates, terrorist attacks Clone Wars: made for kids
maul's mandalore arc: tormenting someone because he humilated him by taking overthe planet the love of his life ruled and killing her in front of him and letting her die in his arms
Love the summaries you could also say the Umbara arc could also be fighting in the middle east since there was IEDs and people popping up out of nowhere raining hell
The thing that is so cool to me about this show is that half the time when I read the synopsis of an episode I think, “Well that doesn’t sound very interesting,” and then two minutes in and I’m completely enthralled.
I remember watching the series premiere with my best friend, and being hype and shit and following the episodes as they came out all the way through, I cried when fives died. Anakin in episode 3 is broken form stuff that happens in clone wars, and he makes more sense in that movie after watching the clone wars. Everyone should fucking watch this show
I honestly feel like the first episode, "Ambush" is really good for setting the tone of the series. I was hooked the moment where Yoda had the squad remove their helmets after they expressed they were all the same, so he could address each of them as individuals; you could see right there and then that they were treating the Clones as actual characters, rather than nameless troopers as the films did. Plus, Episode 5 of season one "Rookies" is good, since Echo and Fives get a lot of screen time throughout the series. The Clone Wars was great because it solved the most major issue I had with the prequel trilogy. The time skip between the start of the First Battle of Geonosis and the middle/end of the Battle of Coruscant was extremely jarring. So much obviously happened between those two films. With the Clone Wars, we see what happened. And getting time to see why certain background characters were actually important was pretty cool.
While I do enjoy Rebels, I totally understand why people view it poorly compared to The Clone Wars. Even though it is made by the same people the story telling is completely different. Nearly every arc of TCW had a neatly written story that really seemed like it could have been a mini movie with an obvious beginning, middle, and end. Rebels on the other hand has more drawn out stories but still has good climaxes and endings. For some reason it just seems like the writers are forced or encouraged to fill episodes with not very important content and pepper in main story elements throughout which really puts a hurting on the pacing and a lot of people's enjoyment of the show.
I grew up with this show. The fact that it actually showed on screen death, brutal ones even and was a kids show enthralled me. That and the fact it's also a war setting which is something I've always liked in fiction. I remember playing the game clone wars adventures as a kid too and having so much fun, too bad it's shut down but does anyone else remember it?
Yes. I've always switched the cn channel when this show was on. I didn't like it... I'm watching it now 10 years later. I still don't like it. Mess, boring, fights, unorganized, random stuff. But sometimes I like it when it is interesting
Too bad he trashes every part of the prequels with blind hate and literally zero reason like he actually didnt even watch the movies. TCW is the shit, but the prequels are awesome too.
I kinda hate/like this guy since he has a bad opinion of REBELS and THE RETURN OF THE JEDI I actually enjoy return it really good for rebels I'm fine with it.
Same, it honestly makes it better to me, he just slowly becomes less trusting of the Jedi, being willing to further further with boundaries, and doing darker things. Obviously, there’s still a gap between end of the show and episode 3, but still, it’s jice
@@sneakysquid9917 certain stories in the clone wars really highlight how the jedi council didn't trust anakin or helped him deal with loss like the council not trusting him with obi wan faking his own death and just leaving him to deal with it or how the council instantly turned on ahsoka when they thought she was behind the bombing at the temple causing her to leave the jedi order if you watch the clone wars you realize that when anakin started having vision of padame dying like he had with his mother you just see a desperate man who can't take losing anybody else and palpatine used and exploited that
@@GDubbJr Exactly and they give reason for it. All the things that happened further alienated Anakin from the council. metalsonic said pretty much the bulk of it. I mean that's far more interesting than him just being evil. The prequels alone without Clone Wars just make Anakin seem like he was destined to be evil. It was obvious from the start that he would turn, even without watching the OT.
It absolutely did. It shows how the council betrayed his apprentice, how he grew jealous of the guy hitting on Padme, his hatred towards the slave traders, his anger towards ventress interrogating and threatening her, it showed how the council didn’t trust anakin by keeping obi ones secrecy of being alive etc.The clone wars is a masterpiece to be quiet frank. I’m very glad its back and i hope Disney doesn’t force any nonsense to be added into the already finished seasons. Disney better leave Dave filoni alone and let him do his magic. Because he clearly knows exactly what hes doing and he actually understands and most importantly LOVES Star Wars.
Besides... uhhhh... actually no, cad bane does need a spin off movie more then anyone!, but who would be next? i think Jango Fett should be next AFTER cad bane.
Dylan Cavasos believe it or not, I used to hate Cad Bane. He sounds obnoxious and looks like your creepy smelly grandfather pretending to be John Marston from the game he saw you play. I later accepted him more but I prefer Bossk and Dengar.
Filoni is a legend. He made a Jar Jar and Mace Windu episode, and it worked like a charm. Jar Jar wasn't even cancer.. Yes I just said that and with confidence, might I add
The fight last like 3 seconds and Grievous feels like a filler villain in the movies. Cause that's why he is. They just wanted to have a reason for Obi Wan to be off Coruscant so that he can't protect Anakin from the dark side.
@@ether2275 i mean i don't really see a point in watching the prequal movies unless you want a extremely bare bones summary of what happened. Both animated series show more of what happened and are a better quality
Where my love for Star Wars began. I remember my dad taking me to watch the film when it was in cinemas and I fell in love right there, as a 6 year old kid it was the best thing I’d seen in my life. The movie has aged badly granted but it walked so the series could run, it’ll always have a place in my heart for making me love Star Wars. While Return of the Jedi will forever be my all time favourite film both in Star Wars and in general, the Clone Wars is my favourite media of all time and the greatest saga in Star Wars (in my humble opinion).
"This show was made by people who really disliked the Prequel Trilogy." Ah yes, Dave Filoni. Legendary prequel hater that in no way defended the movies.
Filoni practically got the job because he liked the prequels (rather didn't hate the prequels). I don't know what Cosmonaut is talking about. Also, Lucas was heavily involved throughout.
Coming back to rewatch this is always so funny when Marcus just INTENSELY asserts that "this fixes what YOU hate about the prequels" and that the creators "hated the prequels", because of the fact that a large amount, perhaps even a majority, of clone wars fans are prequel fans and both Dave Filoni and Sam Witwer have spoken in detail about the things they love about the prequels. You can't really make an entire show about the mythos and lore surrounding the prequels if you hate them
I know this video came out a year ago but I feel like you missed something important. The clones. This show gave us a look into the life of clones and really endeared them to us. It made them something other than just faceless cannon fodder or just "the good guys". It made us (me at least) care what happens to them and a lot of them are really interesting and likable characters.
The part about Clone Wars not being made by Lucas but people who really didn't like the prequels could not be further from truth. Lucas was constantly guiding the team, and the main guy behind the wheel was Dave Filoni, who talked very positively about the prequels in multiple interviews. He's a fan of all things Star Wars. From what I gathered, he just wants to make good stories within the universe he loves. Oh, and bringing back Darth Maul was Lucas' idea.
We can't say "this vidéo sucks " but Lucas create a excellent universe , and now kids like this love clone wars or rebels and don't care about the extended universe . They think clone wars is EU , plz just ashoka ... rey version v1.00 , and really annoying
I George Lucas is given no credit in writing any of the episodes (which is obvious enough). Only Filoni and his team. Also, by "guidance" I think you mean they ran it by during production him to make sure it was okay with him.
It was actually Lucas that killed the EU. Disney is actually doing a good job of pulling A LOT of stuff in from the EU. Which might work out well. The EU wasn't exactly coherent. For every good story there was something else incoherent, contradictory, or flat out bad because they weren't a team of writers working together, and anyone could write something for the EU.
Watching RotS after The clone wars makes it feel like how I think Lucas envisioned it to feel. You can actually understand the emotions running through Anakin's head a lot better, you get his conflict, you feel the betrayal he feels from the Jedi, and you can simultaneously feel the betrayal Obi-Wan feels at Anakin's turn. Also, the Jedi Purge is so much more emotional after spending time with so many of the characters and just seeing them get offed like that. And how it was the muthafuckin clones who did it all, after watching them interact with their generals for so long. It makes RotS actually feel legit.
W01fTamer but how can you piece Ahsoka into it? How can someone as extremely important as Anakin’s padawan even fit within RotS? How can she even fit after surviving SW Rebels? I really hate her character’s very existence and I’d be more inclined to get into the show if she didn’t exist
Her addition into Rebels fucked her character overall. In TCW she leaves the Jedi Order to discover her own path after some bullshit happens that solidifies the flaws of the Jedi ideology in Anakin's mind. It actually works really well to give more of a reason for Anakin to hold a grudge against the Jedi, by both their personal attacks against his padawan, and by exposing their flaws to him in a much more obvious way, making his turn more believable. So, in the way she was written out of the show in the later seasons, she makes Anakin's turn more realistic.
@@tomasclutterbuck2038 You'd find out if you actually watched TCW. I felt the same way at first, and really didn't like her character either, but she really grew on me as she developed over the course of the show. The final arc of season 5 explains why she isn't present in RotS (or, well, part of the reason why at least) and is one of several storylines that make Anakin's distrust of the Jedi Council and his eventual fall more believable. If the show had run for the full 8 (I think?) planned seasons, it would have run right up to the start of RotS and explained a whole lot about why Anakin is the way he is in RotS, and where Ahsoka was/how she survived Order 66. SPOILERS: Some really bad stuff happens at the end of season 5, and Ahsoka ends up leaving the Jedi Order. Anakin is deeply affected by this, and his trust in the Jedi Order and particularly the Council is hit pretty hard (not for the first time). Due to some things that happen in season 6, Captain Rex eventually discovers the truth about Order 66 some time shortly before RotS. He isn't able to warn anybody in time, but he does barely manage to save Ahsoka's life when the order goes out.
"The original movies had good guys and bad guys" "The prequels had no morals whatsoever, the good guys are arseholes" I mean maybe it's just me but if I hadn't seen any Star Wars movies the prequels would sound more interesting from that description.
Peter The problem with the prequels is that they hardly show the fall of the Jedi Order other than becoming generals in Episode II. In the Clone Wars, they always bring up how they used to be peacekeepers but the war has warped not only their purpose but their outlook. Episode I should’ve made the Jedi Order less paranoid and restrictive and then developed them into the infant-recruiting, hardcore anti-Sith warriors. Or they could’ve mentioned at some point how the Jedi Order had changed since the ancient Sith Wars. I get George wanted to model it on organized religion and especially the Catholic Church, but it makes it seem like the Order’s fall was entirely the fault of the Jedi Religion and not the individuals within it. Going off the prequel movies only, I completely understand why Rian Johnson gave Luke the outlook he had.

The episodes where the clones are under the command of that relentless Jedi? Oh my god they break my heart. This show has no business being as good as it is.

My childhood: Your childhood and feeling bad for some battle droids.
@@tristanbrewer4523 mostly Anakin
2003 mine. Clone war the real one.
The Anakin in this show made me believe that he was gonna become Darth Vader. All the signs were there and they were naturally put into the story.
It's sad to rewatch the cartoon, especially seeing how the Jedi, in an attemtp to calm Anakin down, sent him to work for Palpatine.
@@rosesweetcharlotte The jedi made Darth Vader
And the show is so well written that we all know he will inevitably become darth Vader but it still is surprising.
Exactly. Then in the movies, the only thing that makes it apparent of him going to the dark side is his obsession with preventing Padme's death. While in the show you can actually feel and see some of the decisions that make him lean closer to the dark side. How much in-fighting he had with the Jedi. How his rage can sometimes take over rather than in the movies its played off as just inexperience and naivety.
Uhhh it did a lot of that in the movies as well like killing all the sand people.... Like fucking all of them also he killed count dooku he went against the Jedi rules and dated and married padme he wanted more power he was selfish he wanted to save padme from death sooo yea
One of my favorite exchanges from this show:
Dooku: Without ugly in this world, there would be nothing beautiful.
Obi-Wan: Thank you for your sacrifice
George Sikorski what episode was that
DAMN
That not in the show lol
Obi-Wan muthafucking Kenobi the sassiest Lord of Swag lords back at it again
@@victoryarn4381 yeah no its a popular tumblr thread that people like to photoshop into different fandoms like Harry Potter, DC, etc.
One thing I loved about Clone Wars is that it made the Clones, these faceless soldiers that are nothing but a plot device in the movies, actual people.
Zombie Trex2021 Umbara arch is such a good example of this and hits me every time watching it
The Kellogg's chicken I always though the episode “ Rookies” was a good example, along with the umbara arc and ambush
And then explained how these fleshed out people could possibly follow Order 66 after all that growth and bonding!
Thank u. The most impressing part of clone wars is how they made the clones characters instead of flesh beings with chips in their heads. Umbara is my favorite arc.
After watching clone wars i expected rebels to show that stormtrooper are humans to but no
"The heros are assh*les"
*shows Mace Windu*
Me: that's the spirit !
Yeah Mace Windu is a complete asshole but my God Samuel L Jackson was perfect for the role.
The point of his character was to show the jedis arrogance and ignorance
fuck mace windu
when ahsoka leaves the jedi order: everyone: Agologizes and asks her back

I love the clone wars but this guy is uncultured. He doesn’t appreciate the excellent arcs in season 1 (not saying it’s the best season but that doesn’t make it bad when all the other season set such a rediculously high standard). Also the prequels were not bad, there were certainly flaws in those movies especially 2 and kinda 1 but episode 3 was amazing and in the context of Star Wars the characters actions even Anakin make sense even now that we have the Clone Wars. Again I am not saying there are no issues with the movies but I found them generally great movies.
It’s a byproduct of such high standards that everything else by comparison looks meager.
Joshua Galpin Episode 1 and 2 are dogshit, your bias blinds you to the truth, Revenge of the Sith Being good does not change that
“This show was made by people who really don’t like the prequel trilogy” Dave Filoni goes on record to talk about the greatness of the prequels
Seriously though, in my opinion the major issue with the prequels wasn’t the storyline or the acting. It was the appalling dialogue that sort of made the scenes awkward. Many people blame Hayden Christensen for acting badly and too awkwardly but I think that he did his best with the script he was given. Besides, Anakin is supposed to be awkward especially in Attack of the Clones. In Revenge if the Sith, I believe that he was meant to be more conflicted so his whining sort of makes sense, however looking back at Clone Wars Anakin, there’s no competition between who is the best. They’re two different interpretations of him.
@@katleon312 yeah I blame the acting too, even Samuel L Jackson couldn’t make his lines work.
@@KangarooMonkey yee that’s what I mean. With the script that the actors were given they couldn’t make it work. But it’s not like the entire script is bad at least they made the ending good.
I like them and I hate how he constantly bashes it
@@KangarooMonkey Direction. Not acting. If it was down to acting, Samuel L Jackson could make the lines work. Actors have to put a LOT of faith in the direction, and feedback they get. The actors were doing the best they could with bad dialogue, and utterly shit direction.
the umbara arc was basiclly "what if we made the vietnam war, but in star wars?"
Was cool
And it was INCREDIBLE.
Epic
They fucked up ending tho
The scene similar to palatines arrest at the end was one of the best moments in the show.
Clone wars puts revenge of the sith into a more heartbreaking context
It heightens the movie to me.
Exactly! I just watched the episode with 5's and order 66 and my god I so wanted 5's to succeed and for that conspiracy to be revealed but it was even more heartbreaking that he doesn't 🥺 I've almost finished clone wars and it is gonna be even more heartbreaking watching order 66 happen knowing it was so close to be stopped...
Have I got to watch season 1 to understand this or can I skip Season 1?
@@domharvey8513 I would say give it a watch after seasons 2 and 3 just to get a feel just watch it before you see s4
In the movies the Clones are how Windu sees them: as Soldiers
In the show they are portraied like Anakin and Obi-Wan see them: As humans with feelings
Just a perfect show
I honestly feel this show makes the movies better like Order 66 is more impactful after spending more time with guys like Plo Koon and Ki Adi Mundi and Aayla Secure.
EXACTLY! There were others also featured like Kit-Fisto and Saessee Tinn who had brief cameos in the film have centric roles in the clone wars. Hell fun fact here, Admiral Yularen is actually one of the lead imperial officers in ANH, he is the guy in the white suit during the conference scene. It sucks he turned into an imperial douchebag when he was such a nice guy in TCW
ExodusHunter15 you also see a yung tarkin
If your trying to talk about fives in season six your right
I always liked fives but it broke my heart that he died
Rychi Avila same. R.I.P FIVES you were one of the best clones like rex and heavy
“George Lucas did not make this tv show” he literally came up with the idea to make the show to properly explain the prequels better and would oversee production for nearly every episode up till season 7
I think he meant "he didn't write this show"
@@aguywhocreatesmusic5215 I think he meant had anything to do with the show, if he specifically meant write then he probably would’ve said it.
@@KangarooMonkey I think Marcus knew that George was involved, but he said that because he knew that he wasn't a big part of it, I mean, "created by George Lucas" is at the end of every episode, I don't think he thought that George had no involvement in TCW
George was heavily involved in the show during its in entire run. And was in the writing room giving the creative ideas for every episode
Lucas was the ideas guy, not really the only writer for the entire story like the prequels
This show also makes "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" have actual weight and pain to it. Watching Anakin evolve, how the war shaped him and his views, showing why Anakin and Padme work so well together, etc better explains his actions in the movie. Everything from how heartbreaking it is to watch Obi Won and Anakin fight to even the more mundane things, like why Anakin would be ticked about being denied the title of Jedi Master--since he's one of the most successful generals in the war. It's all there and even though the dialogue and vicariously the acting is still painful, your personal, emotional investment now exists thanks to this show. I can fucking go on and on about how much I love this show. Yeah, watch this show. Fall in love with the real Anakin Skywalker.
Watching Order 66 after Clone Wars legitimately fucked me up
@@fakeblue8985 this is an understatement
IchSagNurSchelle Especially knowing that Commander Cody was involved and didn’t get his chip out in time fucking felt like getting your organs ripped out slowly while your eyes are getting punctured and you’re still conscious.
personally i still do not like revenge of the sith. note anakin was somewhat justified in killing dooku since he couldn't be taken prisoner in a million years based on their situation, less justified in killing those sand people but they did kill his mother (note it explains his reasoning doesn't justify his actions in killing the sand people), however killing children and innocents, trusting a sith is better than the jedi (even though the jedi are fairly flawed it is like saying i hate the hypocrisy of the U.S and join nazi germany), and putting so much faith in an unclear vision that you indirectly cause it. And did this guy really think padme would never find out much less forgive him for the countless people he's killed. Also under the emporer he condones and in fact bolsters with brute force the slavery of multiple species including wookeis (given he's given in at this point the transistion just doesn't work). The primary issue is anakin's process in thinking the darkside could possibly save padme. And why the hell did anakin even remoltey 100% trust sidious? Like WHY? He could've left the jedi order just as ashoka did.
@@ravimanne8148 I agree. Most of the movie is bonkers in the leaps of logic and the complete lack of any angle that would make sense in motivations. I only meant that Star Wars Clone Wars creates Anakin as a fully fleshed-out person with both good and bad parts. In the series, he makes a lot of choices that the Jedi frown on, but normal people would consider commendable, like not giving up on Ashoka when it was believed she died or risking his life with his men, valuing every single clone's life, and feeling real emotion and empathy when any of his men died. (Which considering how much he valued life and wouldn't give up until every option was exhausted to save people, what he did in episode 3 is even more WTF?) The SWCW series allows the viewer at least some type of real emotional connection and regret when Anakin falls to the dark side. That's all.
The Clone Wars show is for kids. Executions by firing squad and beheading, suicide, people being tortured to death, executing a bunch of innocent people, more beheading, filibusters, government corruption and embargoes, war profiteering, and brainworm parasites. Things kids would totally understand and enjoy.
Conrad Monlezun You took that straight from another video
Of course i did. It proves a good point.

It should be a legal requirement that you have to watch Clone Wars before Revenge of the Sith.

It just doesn’t feel right to see Anakin as so different and the script being weird but apparently the movie gets better with time and it’s not the worst.
At least up until you see Anakin leave for the Battle of Coruscant. Then watch the last episode after the movie.
@@Soulindex Also don't include the Fives inhibitor chip arc. Or include it if you want more suspense.
The fight between maul and sidious was amazing it's one of the only times you get to actually see just how dangerous sidious was with a lightsaber besides when he fought windu

One of the best things about the Clone Wars is how it improves the world of the sequels. In the movies, the world of the Republic and Coruscant feels like an empty set piece. The Clone Wars really fleshes it out. You get to actually understand the culture and the politics and what's going on in this society. You learn how things work. It makes the world feel more alive.

Remember it isn't solely the designers to the first rebels making it, it's Disney influenced. It might be bad, which scares me.
RhyhornTV Perrault I'm cautiously excited
RhyhornTV Perrault ya but the script was already written before Disney bought sw so there's hope
I do remember that, but forgot. There is hope with that statement..
Jorrel Doe thank goodness
“It’s on Netflix”
Me: you once possessed a power I couldn’t control
“Today we fight for more than the Republic. Today we fight for all our brothers back home.”
I honestly feel like the first episode, "Ambush" is really good for setting the tone of the series. I was hooked the moment where Yoda had the squad remove their helmets after they expressed they were all the same, so he could address each of them as individuals; you could see right there and then that they were treating the Clones as actual characters, rather than nameless troopers as the films did. Plus, Episode 5 of season one "Rookies" is good, since Echo and Fives get a lot of screen time throughout the series.
The Clone Wars was great because it solved the most major issue I had with the prequel trilogy. The time skip between the start of the First Battle of Geonosis and the middle/end of the Battle of Coruscant was extremely jarring. So much obviously happened between those two films. With the Clone Wars, we see what happened. And getting time to see why certain background characters were actually important was pretty cool.
This show was my childhood man. I have always love this star wars masterpiece

The Joker because the first season of rebels was really boring
+Derek Hearne It did start to get interesting when Vader showed up.
and clone wars s1 wasn't??
While I do enjoy Rebels, I totally understand why people view it poorly compared to The Clone Wars. Even though it is made by the same people the story telling is completely different. Nearly every arc of TCW had a neatly written story that really seemed like it could have been a mini movie with an obvious beginning, middle, and end. Rebels on the other hand has more drawn out stories but still has good climaxes and endings. For some reason it just seems like the writers are forced or encouraged to fill episodes with not very important content and pepper in main story elements throughout which really puts a hurting on the pacing and a lot of people's enjoyment of the show.
Being a child when this show was around was lit
Yeah

I grew up with this show. The fact that it actually showed on screen death, brutal ones even and was a kids show enthralled me. That and the fact it's also a war setting which is something I've always liked in fiction. I remember playing the game clone wars adventures as a kid too and having so much fun, too bad it's shut down but does anyone else remember it?
Yes. I've always switched the cn channel when this show was on. I didn't like it... I'm watching it now 10 years later. I still don't like it. Mess, boring, fights, unorganized, random stuff. But sometimes I like it when it is interesting

Hell yeah!
AH, HEEEEELL YEAH!
HELL YA BROTHER
*HELL YES*
I come back to watch this video every so often and I truly believe Marcus helped hundreds of thousands of people give Clone Wars a chance.
Same. There is too much unnecessary hatred for the clone wars.
"He's pretty easy to avoid." No. He is everywhere. He comes into my house every day and yells, "Icky, icky goo!"
He haunts me...
Block814 Jesus Christ dude you gonna be okay?
@@Ac7d no
Block814 you gotta run. The man literally took down general greivous
SO glad I grew up with this show instead of Rebels
Same
Butthurt fanboy
Right
Deadshot 500 how can I be butthurt when everyone agrees with me?
Rebels is terrible
star wars: clone wars
is the shit
yea okay I like this guy
Too bad he trashes every part of the prequels with blind hate and literally zero reason like he actually didnt even watch the movies. TCW is the shit, but the prequels are awesome too.
@@nbubzy Agreed
Nowel Bobke blind hate? He just chose not to talk about them, I’d like to see you make a sort of “rant” video.
I kinda hate/like this guy since he has a bad opinion of REBELS and THE RETURN OF THE JEDI I actually enjoy return it really good for rebels I'm fine with it.
@@nbubzy You must like sand.
My favourite part: Clone Personalitys
i think the clone wars showed more of a reason as to why Anakin would join the dark side all of sudden in episode 3
Same, it honestly makes it better to me, he just slowly becomes less trusting of the Jedi, being willing to further further with boundaries, and doing darker things. Obviously, there’s still a gap between end of the show and episode 3, but still, it’s jice
@@sneakysquid9917 certain stories in the clone wars really highlight how the jedi council didn't trust anakin or helped him deal with loss
like the council not trusting him with obi wan faking his own death and just leaving him to deal with it
or how the council instantly turned on ahsoka when they thought she was behind the bombing at the temple causing her to leave the jedi order
if you watch the clone wars you realize that when anakin started having vision of padame dying like he had with his mother you just see a desperate man who can't take losing anybody else and palpatine used and exploited that
metalsonic91 if you watch him in later seasons, his temper is a lot shorter and he kills more people lol
@@GDubbJr Exactly and they give reason for it. All the things that happened further alienated Anakin from the council. metalsonic said pretty much the bulk of it. I mean that's far more interesting than him just being evil. The prequels alone without Clone Wars just make Anakin seem like he was destined to be evil. It was obvious from the start that he would turn, even without watching the OT.
It absolutely did. It shows how the council betrayed his apprentice, how he grew jealous of the guy hitting on Padme, his hatred towards the slave traders, his anger towards ventress interrogating and threatening her, it showed how the council didn’t trust anakin by keeping obi ones secrecy of being alive etc.The clone wars is a masterpiece to be quiet frank. I’m very glad its back and i hope Disney doesn’t force any nonsense to be added into the already finished seasons. Disney better leave Dave filoni alone and let him do his magic. Because he clearly knows exactly what hes doing and he actually understands and most importantly LOVES Star Wars.
Says it's in Netflix
Me: it was removed like 10 days ago
this video was posted in 2016 lol. and of course disney wants to make every cent they can so they'll put it on their own streaming service or w/e.
Samuel R there were 6 seasons
Professor Branch , yes, we’re all depressed
Download or watch clone wars in grabthebeasttv seasons there are complete
This video came out back in 2016 after Rouge One came out in theaters.
Who else watched every single Clone Wars episode in all 6 seasons?
I did
Sigh.... twice
You have to watch it all in my opinion
Charles Jeffery Watched all seasons three times and about to rewatch for the fourth time, I guess you could say I like this show

Mauls overall arc was some of my favourite Star Wars character stories in star wars
The umbara ark is fucking awesome
damn right
Connor Cooke IKR one of my favorites
Connor Cooke I like it a lot because it goes so deep into the morals of the clones and how it represented Vietnam in a lot of ways
It is definitely my favorite season 4 story.
ugh so true. literally one of my favorite Star Wars stories, period. Shows you how dark the war really was.
"Its all on netflix"

Don’t forget Cad Bane, guys. Never forget Cad Bane. Ever. Period.
Cad Bane is too epic. He deserves a spin off movie more than anyone!
Besides... uhhhh... actually no, cad bane does need a spin off movie more then anyone!, but who would be next? i think Jango Fett should be next AFTER cad bane.

Dylan Cavasos true, so true
Dylan Cavasos believe it or not, I used to hate Cad Bane. He sounds obnoxious and looks like your creepy smelly grandfather pretending to be John Marston from the game he saw you play. I later accepted him more but I prefer Bossk and Dengar.

Filoni is a legend. He made a Jar Jar and Mace Windu episode, and it worked like a charm. Jar Jar wasn't even cancer..
Yes I just said that and with confidence, might I add
Watch Ani: A Parody
It is so freaking funny.
I love this series with all my heart but I genuinely think jar jar is worse in this
Darth Jar Jar
I really liked Jar Jar in the Hondo arc, the one where the clone troopers WEAPONIZE Jar Jar's clumsiness!
"Obi-Wan going to kill Grevious. That wasn't fun. That was really really dumb."
*INHALE*
no
Sobok Gaming those who hate the prequels would never give it any credit whatsoever
Actually - thanks to The Clone Wars the movie part actually stopped to suck due to history Grevious vs Obi Wan have now.
@@Megadog33 General Kenobi
The fight last like 3 seconds and Grievous feels like a filler villain in the movies. Cause that's why he is. They just wanted to have a reason for Obi Wan to be off Coruscant so that he can't protect Anakin from the dark side.
@@ether2275 i mean i don't really see a point in watching the prequal movies unless you want a extremely bare bones summary of what happened. Both animated series show more of what happened and are a better quality
Where my love for Star Wars began. I remember my dad taking me to watch the film when it was in cinemas and I fell in love right there, as a 6 year old kid it was the best thing I’d seen in my life. The movie has aged badly granted but it walked so the series could run, it’ll always have a place in my heart for making me love Star Wars. While Return of the Jedi will forever be my all time favourite film both in Star Wars and in general, the Clone Wars is my favourite media of all time and the greatest saga in Star Wars (in my humble opinion).
If I hear Ashoka as "Ash-soka" again, I'll explode. It's pronounced "Ahsoka" even if it's not the spelling
but the spelling *IS* "Ahsoka"
but the real person in history who has the exact same name is pronounced Ahsoka
Just irl he had no h
Her name in the show is pronounced "aa-so-ka". Not "Aa-show-ka"
How did he manage to watch the series and come out saying Ashoka instead of Ahsoka is beyond me 😂
You should hear how the emperor pronounced her name on the world between worlds lol
"This show was made by people who really disliked the Prequel Trilogy."
Ah yes, Dave Filoni. Legendary prequel hater that in no way defended the movies.
I know lol. Cosmonaut needs to do more research.
@@HeyItsThatEl The prequels are lightyears better than the TV series. It's still enjoyable, though.
Filoni practically got the job because he liked the prequels (rather didn't hate the prequels). I don't know what Cosmonaut is talking about. Also, Lucas was heavily involved throughout.
@@fundhund62 probably the worst take I’ve ever heard in my life
@@fundhund62 u have got to be kidding me
im just so glad people realize how much of a masterpiece this is.
Killval i watched the whole series
It was great
ikr I felt like all the videos on like show were critiuqes
Killval its not on netflix anymore anyone know where i can watch all episodes?
Saphire Theos yes it is....
it's not for me :/
Coming back to rewatch this is always so funny when Marcus just INTENSELY asserts that "this fixes what YOU hate about the prequels" and that the creators "hated the prequels", because of the fact that a large amount, perhaps even a majority, of clone wars fans are prequel fans and both Dave Filoni and Sam Witwer have spoken in detail about the things they love about the prequels. You can't really make an entire show about the mythos and lore surrounding the prequels if you hate them
I know this video came out a year ago but I feel like you missed something important. The clones. This show gave us a look into the life of clones and really endeared them to us. It made them something other than just faceless cannon fodder or just "the good guys". It made us (me at least) care what happens to them and a lot of them are really interesting and likable characters.
I hope you know that he said that in the first rebels Video? Just want to mention it
The video was too long so he didn't mention it
Well not all clones are likeable the most hated clone the clone that we love to hate is non other than Commander Fox.
@@abramsullivan7764 I don't hate Fox,I mean let's be honest it was probably Palpatine's doing,also his armour is badass as fuck
@@abramsullivan7764 Shut up all of them are adorable sweethearts and their my babies and I love them
The part about Clone Wars not being made by Lucas but people who really didn't like the prequels could not be further from truth. Lucas was constantly guiding the team, and the main guy behind the wheel was Dave Filoni, who talked very positively about the prequels in multiple interviews. He's a fan of all things Star Wars. From what I gathered, he just wants to make good stories within the universe he loves.
Oh, and bringing back Darth Maul was Lucas' idea.
Oh god... Thank you! I was about to write the same thing... so thanks again, for saving me the time.
And btw... this video sucks.
We can't say "this vidéo sucks " but Lucas create a excellent universe , and now kids like this love clone wars or rebels and don't care about the extended universe . They think clone wars is EU , plz just ashoka ... rey version v1.00 , and really annoying
And my friend , remenber rogue one without Kyle Katarn ... SW is really dead for me , and this extended universe deleted by disney ...
I George Lucas is given no credit in writing any of the episodes (which is obvious enough). Only Filoni and his team.
Also, by "guidance" I think you mean they ran it by during production him to make sure it was okay with him.
It was actually Lucas that killed the EU. Disney is actually doing a good job of pulling A LOT of stuff in from the EU. Which might work out well. The EU wasn't exactly coherent. For every good story there was something else incoherent, contradictory, or flat out bad because they weren't a team of writers working together, and anyone could write something for the EU.
Watching RotS after The clone wars makes it feel like how I think Lucas envisioned it to feel. You can actually understand the emotions running through Anakin's head a lot better, you get his conflict, you feel the betrayal he feels from the Jedi, and you can simultaneously feel the betrayal Obi-Wan feels at Anakin's turn. Also, the Jedi Purge is so much more emotional after spending time with so many of the characters and just seeing them get offed like that. And how it was the muthafuckin clones who did it all, after watching them interact with their generals for so long. It makes RotS actually feel legit.
W01fTamer but how can you piece Ahsoka into it? How can someone as extremely important as Anakin’s padawan even fit within RotS? How can she even fit after surviving SW Rebels? I really hate her character’s very existence and I’d be more inclined to get into the show if she didn’t exist
Her addition into Rebels fucked her character overall. In TCW she leaves the Jedi Order to discover her own path after some bullshit happens that solidifies the flaws of the Jedi ideology in Anakin's mind. It actually works really well to give more of a reason for Anakin to hold a grudge against the Jedi, by both their personal attacks against his padawan, and by exposing their flaws to him in a much more obvious way, making his turn more believable. So, in the way she was written out of the show in the later seasons, she makes Anakin's turn more realistic.
@@tomasclutterbuck2038 you didnt watch the show
@@tomasclutterbuck2038 You'd find out if you actually watched TCW. I felt the same way at first, and really didn't like her character either, but she really grew on me as she developed over the course of the show. The final arc of season 5 explains why she isn't present in RotS (or, well, part of the reason why at least) and is one of several storylines that make Anakin's distrust of the Jedi Council and his eventual fall more believable. If the show had run for the full 8 (I think?) planned seasons, it would have run right up to the start of RotS and explained a whole lot about why Anakin is the way he is in RotS, and where Ahsoka was/how she survived Order 66.
SPOILERS:
Some really bad stuff happens at the end of season 5, and Ahsoka ends up leaving the Jedi Order. Anakin is deeply affected by this, and his trust in the Jedi Order and particularly the Council is hit pretty hard (not for the first time). Due to some things that happen in season 6, Captain Rex eventually discovers the truth about Order 66 some time shortly before RotS. He isn't able to warn anybody in time, but he does barely manage to save Ahsoka's life when the order goes out.
I agree.
I started watching you like 2 years ago so I’ve never heard you this energetic over Star Wars, it’s nice
"The original movies had good guys and bad guys"
"The prequels had no morals whatsoever, the good guys are arseholes"
I mean maybe it's just me but if I hadn't seen any Star Wars movies the prequels would sound more interesting from that description.
The originals are good for the time
But did not age well
@@MaximusTheChosenOne How did the original trilogy not age well?
It sounds more interesting but the execution is so terrible that it almost feels like some of the cool stuff was done on accident
I mean in Star Wars the Jedi are painted as the good guys but they are extremely dogmatic and their code is fundamentally broken
Peter The problem with the prequels is that they hardly show the fall of the Jedi Order other than becoming generals in Episode II. In the Clone Wars, they always bring up how they used to be peacekeepers but the war has warped not only their purpose but their outlook. Episode I should’ve made the Jedi Order less paranoid and restrictive and then developed them into the infant-recruiting, hardcore anti-Sith warriors. Or they could’ve mentioned at some point how the Jedi Order had changed since the ancient Sith Wars. I get George wanted to model it on organized religion and especially the Catholic Church, but it makes it seem like the Order’s fall was entirely the fault of the Jedi Religion and not the individuals within it. Going off the prequel movies only, I completely understand why Rian Johnson gave Luke the outlook he had.
The Umbara Arc is the best because it’s about the clones making the plays
Yeet
Yeah, it's called clone wars for a reason
Yeah!
I loved the Umbara arc
Personal favorite of mine as well. That, and anything with Darth maul was the tits. Sam witwer does the character major justice.
Revenge of the Sith is much more emotional if you watch the Clone Wars
Its a missed opportunity because everyone watched the real movies before clone wars tv show

I can't believe you made a video about The Clone Wars without mentioning the clones. They also get some of the best storylines. The story arc with Fives? The episodes where the clones are under the command of that relentless Jedi? Oh my god they break my heart. This show has no business being as good as it is.
Not to mention the politics.
