Something I just noticed: Whenever the situation was calm, Krell would refer to Rex by his CT number. But at 4:32, when they were under fire, he called him by his name. This means that Krell calling Rex by his CT number wasn’t just him not caring enough about clones to use their names, but him actively CHOOSING to be a dick.
It’s not the duress, but that fact that Rex had previously gained some of Krell’s respect. He doesn’t see them as people or individuals, so he refers to them by serial number. When Rex establishes himself as a “true captain” in Krell’s eyes, he permits him some recognition of self.
Also, Anakin didn't actually introduce Rex by his number, just his name (and I can't remember if Rex ever mentioned his CT number to Krell anyway). So Krell basically went out of his way to memorize their CT numbers and address them solely as their CT numbers, which takes a lot more effort than just learning and remembering their names. It's almost impressive how frequently he goes out of his way to be as much of a dick to the clones as possible.
Pong Krell's lightsaber sounds deeper and more menacing than the normal lightsaber sound effects and I love it. Especially when he does that roll at 11:48.
@@krxwnvxk7695no thats just his unique lightsabers sounds not ever but some force wielders have unique sounds due to having a unique kyber krystal like anakin and yodas saber. You can even hear the difference when he ignites it at 3:18 no swinging involved.
@@clearshade3560 Well, Sidious always made sure to keep those below him under his thumb, by keeping them weaker than himself. I’m sure he would do the same to Krell and wouldn’t fear him rising up against him.
The umbaran arc made me wonder what Anakin thought of this outrage cause literally after losing a big number of his troops i would definitely execute krell afterwards
11:40 to this day i have NO clue why this one clone decided to do a suicide run at Krell. Seriously, watch the full scene, he LITERALLY runs at Krell by himself. That part ALWAYS confuses me
Krell may be the biggest prick in all of Star Wars but holy heck is he cool-kinda wish we got more of him. He’s just so….LARGE and he sounds so menacing! I kind of wish umbara played out differently so that he wasn’t a traitor-just a huge jerk. Almost like the embodiment of everything wrong with the jedi order.
I'm fine with him being a prick but I wish we got to see his good side, like maybe things and people he cares about. That would make him more sympathetic. Tho I'm not sure if that would be even necessary. His crimes may be unforgivable but he has his reasons. At least him being a total prick makes his death more satisfying. He's an amazing villain in my opinion.
@@m97polska yeah, for example they could have made it so that he foresaw the 501st leading Operation Knightfall and destroying the Jedi, but went too far with his desperation, leading him to the darkside
Yeah we first he was going to be a good Jedi but now he's the worst Jedi like all of the Jedis we watch and we see we love them but this one is a NO...
Pong Krell: Everyone's most- hated d-bag Jedi who treats his clones like cannon fodder and a traitor to the Jedi Order. Lee Everett: Everyone's favourite loyal zombocalpyse protector with a heart of gold.
It would've been cool if they had introduced him before this arc. Establish him as a jerk who sacrifices clones to get results, but also brilliant in his own way for being able to see through enemy plots. Then, when he turns out to be a traitor, it's actually a surprise.
I think they should have had him lead the droid army instead of Grievous, and had General Grievous be a one-off... With those arms and the Force, he could have done some real damage to the Jedi...
@@jayo1212as a Diehard general Grievous fan I this suggestion is one I cannot abide! TCW just shouldn't have nerfed him so bad. Pong Krell is memorable because he was on the republics side first anyhow.
My least favorite part about this story arc was how they basically swept it under the rug and didn’t mention it or show how anyone dealt with the aftermath.
I know a lot of people hate this guy, but can't help but like him. I know the writers want me to hate him and I just think he's so hilariously evil and mean for no reason. He also has a very cool character design
Ok I get that Krell was a dick to all the clones and committed a horrible act of betrayal, but he is just SO sick. Not only does he have 2 double bladed lightsabers with 4 arms, but they’re also thicker sabers than any other Jedi. You just can’t deny how cool his weapons and fighting style is
I honestly believe that Palpatine put all this in motion just to see if the clones were capable of killing jedi... like a test. Krell imo seemed like a strong but reckless general/jedi. I bet he approached Palpatine and offered his services for the sith as long as he was spared fir order 66. I believe that's where his hatred of clones came from and why he was used as a sort of test to see the abilities of the clones because clones although loyal will fight for whats right even if that means fighting rogue jedi.
@@derrickdaniels3955 LOL, right?? I mean we've seen him do this to Maul to take out Qui Gon and Dooku to test Anakins strength. And If I remember correctly I believe he says something about his "new master" as well.
Pong Krell does imply that he will be Dooku's new apprentice. To my knowledge, it's never implied that Krell knew about Sideous. If Krell knew about Sideous, he would have probably attempted to replace Dooku, or at least think he could. Pong would be acting out of fear, and/or ignorance, because he would have to know that the Sith only operate in pairs, and that he would have to replace Dooku, or be disposable like Ventress.
@@right_hand_power7960 I remember in this episode he said something along the lines that his new master would train him and spare him and that he essentially saw the fall of the Jedi as well as other things. So it makes me believe that he also saw Palpatine as emperor, Dookus fall and Anakins betrayel and "Death" and approached him. Palps had to keep his existences private so I could see him killing two birds w/ one stone by basically sending Krell to his Doom while also testing the clones capabilities. Edit: Also I don't think he'd refer to Dooku as his "new master" but instead just say Dooku's name since everybody already knows him. Krell was still trying to remain secretive w/ that bit of information so it gives me the impression that he knew more than he was letting on
Anyone take time to listen to just how different his sabers sound? They sound alot deeper and slower. Makes them come off as powerful and intimidating to me.
Would’ve been cool to see Krell become another villain for the series, he’s got a cool combat style, and it would’ve been cool to see more of his fascination with Dooku and his attempts to become his apprentice.
I completely agree with you, the character is extremely interesting and it’s a pity that most likely no one else will remember him and he will remain just a minor villain who knew about the fall of the republic.
My only complant about this video, is the way dialogue is cut off for other characters. I know this is Pong Krell's scenes, but I think its important to show the rest of the conversations, just for the full context
Yeah, it would've shown that some Jedi and Clones just naturally didn't get along even though they're on the same side, and that it wasn't black and white like they get along because they're the good guys or hate each other because one of them is a traitor. It would've gave some reasoning why a lot of Clones obeyed Order 66 without hesitation because they didn't have a strong relationship with their Jedi like Rex, Cody, or Bly did.
"I'm afraid I can't waste any clones on frivolous adventures" 7:39 What about those times when you were willing to waste the entirety of the 501st on stupid forward assaults straight into the most heavily fortified umbaran positions?
I like how he states that "some clones are defectove" that is dope foreshadowing. Though Krell is an idiot he is observant. Even though he never once questioned how he was treating the clones had something to do with it. He didnt think they were human enough to make their own decisions and have their own thoughts. And then how Krell says "its treason then" like how Palpatine will later say the exact same thing to the Jedi. Only difference is Krell fails and Palpatine doesnt. Krell was a jerk but he aslo was literally the only one besides Yoda who sensed Order 66, i know thats due to him being enticed by the dark side but he caught onto things others didnt even though he couldnt catch on to the trap set right under his nose. He was having too much fun killing clones that he was blinded and lured into his own demise. He couldve made it out had he stopped and turned to escape rather than chase the rest down. Then tellling the clones ALL of his plans he was not the brightest
I watched this episode by episode as a kid and I think the scene at 3:18 as actually a really great scene. It was really satisfying getting some validation from a guy who up until that point treated everyone below him as disposable. Even the clones we had grown to love and care about. While also making me almost like him, making me think he wasnt a total asshole. These scenes were important to keep the audience on their toes and keep them guessing as to just whether Krell is a hero or a villian. This kind of attention to detail is what makes good writing good.
It’s just that this moment plays a role here. Krell the strategist, the clones, in fact, sent to the vanguard, in the territory where the enemy clearly dominates, surrendered their vanguard positions and gave away the location of the main forces, forcing Krell to throw soldiers into battle on the march, Krell still did not take note of Rex’s words, he didn’t care at him and his words, he tried to complete the task, knowing that the operation had long been predetermined by defeat due to the fact that he had leaked all the data about the operation.
He is one of the commanders of the entire invasion operation on Umbara, his rank and knowledge are too great to fall into the hands of possible traitorous clones, so it was self-defense, he fought off potential traitors.
True, but i feel like either would wipe the floor with him. He's a bully that gets off on being stronger and higher up than others around him. Someone like savage wouldn't be intimidated, and the game krell plays is basically the one that grievous mastered. Additionally, he is a very old jedi knight, and considering most are a master by his age, and that grievous has defeated several knights at once and regularly contested masters, occasionally besting them, he's fucked.
Pong Krell is the combination of Darth Maul and General Grievous, also pretending to be good so people view him as a hero when his dangerous tactics prove he's actually an asshole.
@@billybaggins1443 well I do he is a Jedi knight and old one at that he is not even impressive if a Jedi knight is that old means that he is a horrible one since obi wan is 20 years younger than him but he is a Jedi master and on the council.
@@thephoenix4093 makes sense, I just thought with his intimidating height and with this 4 lightsabers, I was thinking maybe he would at least be a match against Savage Opress. It's a shame that no other Jedi, or even Sith, has fought against him. At least it was never seen.
Reminder that order 66 was one of the many orders that were indeed disclosed knowledge known by the Jedi order. (not that they knew about the inhibitor chips that would force this order to be carried out). Pong Krell is a good example of why that order exists.
The author missed the moment when the killed leader of another clone army said: “It was General Krell. He said there would be droids in the clone uniform. But it was you.”
11:29 just imagine Krell coming across Sidious or Vader and saying “YOU DARE TO ATTACK A JEDI?!” Like a Chad to the Sith Lords. Man, that would be sick.
He embodies every asshole CO, drill sergeant, NCO, or authority figure you'll ever meet. All aggression, ego, and selfishness. For them, those who serve them could rot as long as they get what they want.
legit thought the clones were giving him the silent treatment 2min in because he was behaving like a hard***. Forgot it’s just cuts to the character specifically 😆.
The clones initially do not have call signs, there are no call signs in the database, there are just numbers, so Krell simply saw the database where the clone numbers were indicated, that’s all.
I served with him. I used to hate him until I served with Cammander Fox and got forsaken by my own Empire. Now I miss the Old Republic and General Krell. Somedays it's so overwhelming I'm one bad day from ending up like him.
Sometimes i wish they chose a different Jedi for Krells role in the clone wars. Would have LOVED to see Krell as an actual cool dude like Dexter Jettster
If general Skywalker was here to save his men from the traitorous Sith warrior, he be demoting krell from the rank of general and subjected to execution. Along with the two traitors: slick and the senate commando captain!
Wouldn't, Krell is a Jedi Master, master of weapons, skilled in close combat and in the use of force. In addition, he adjusted the Jar-Kai style to double-bladed swords and learned how to use them perfectly. Krell is too strong for Grievous, Krell is inferior to Grievous only in physical parameters, otherwise Krell is equal or better than Grievous.

I feel like they'd be like, oh yeah, "that guy"

They’d probably not believe it and try to cover it up
Pong Krell is basically the equivalent of a substitute filling in for your favorite teacher.
Interestingly, I remember the episode trailers on Cartoon Network described Krell as a substitute teacher.
A mean substitute
No. Substitutes are usually pleasant. LOL! 🤣
A very strict substitute.

I understand why people hate Krell but he is badass with those two double blades. Would have been cool to see more of him actually in action
Plus, he's voiced by Dave Fennoy.
He would have definitely survived order 66 if he was still a Jedi.
11:28-11:31 me too.
Probably expensive as hell to animate him lol

They could even loose their lightsabers for a moment and fight barehanded.
What about Krell vs Palpatine Wouldn’t that be better?!
Because Palpatine would slaughter Krell
Pong Krell's lightsaber sounds deeper and more menacing than the normal lightsaber sound effects and I love it. Especially when he does that roll at 11:48.
I think that's because of him having bulkier and more muscle in his arms he's able to swing the lightsaber twice as fast as a normal jedi

I think his saber qualifies for a lightclub/greatsaber due to its huge size, idk
@KoumeAkaboshi his sabers aren't quite that large, but the blades ARE longer and thicker than a normal saber
This is how Order 66 was meant to be used for. Krell is the PERFECT example of a traitorous Jedi
He basically foresaw it

He caused my favourite scene in the clone wars, when rex says "We lost men, NOT CLONES, MEN!"
Honestly I think Dooku’s “reward” would’ve been a lightsaber to the heart.
Krell would have never been able to beat Dooku regardless of how powerful he was. Dooku is on another level

Pong Krell is the combination of Darth Maul and General Grievous, also pretending to be good so people view him as a hero when his dangerous tactics prove he's actually an asshole.
10:37 What a man
Had so much guts to say that to his face.
I would've liked to have seen Krell vs Maul or Krell vs Sidious honestly
Or even Krell vs Maul and Savage.
@@billybaggins1443 dude krell isn't even a Jedi master he is weak compared to them.
@@thephoenix4093 I honestly don't know much about him, so maybe he is.
@@billybaggins1443 well I do he is a Jedi knight and old one at that he is not even impressive if a Jedi knight is that old means that he is a horrible one since obi wan is 20 years younger than him but he is a Jedi master and on the council.
@@thephoenix4093 makes sense, I just thought with his intimidating height and with this 4 lightsabers, I was thinking maybe he would at least be a match against Savage Opress. It's a shame that no other Jedi, or even Sith, has fought against him. At least it was never seen.
Favorite Star Wars Villains
Count Dooku
General Grievous
Captain Canady
Savage Oppress
Pong Krell
Enric Pryde
Bonus:Orson KRENNiC
Immediately disliking for the lack of maul, Vader, and sidious.
And Grevius and Moff Gideon
@@agentkronos6438 nah not Moff he’s a rubbish villain
@@archieoutdoors3340 Understandable
@@agentkronos6438 I have General Grievous on there
Subtle detail at 4:03: Krell just kicks the corpse of a clone out of the way just to get better cover
They say everyone has an archenemy, for Rex is Krell.
Reminder that order 66 was one of the many orders that were indeed disclosed knowledge known by the Jedi order. (not that they knew about the inhibitor chips that would force this order to be carried out). Pong Krell is a good example of why that order exists.
I wish Kenobi got to duel him since it was his men that were fighting the 501st. Idk how Kenobi didn’t show up
Man I love the whole vibe of umbara
General grievous: i have four arms and four one sided lightsabers!
Krell: Yes
Dude has same voice actor as krogans warlord Okeer in Mass Effect 2
The author missed the moment when the killed leader of another clone army said: “It was General Krell. He said there would be droids in the clone uniform. But it was you.”
12:20 "Mine is an evil laugh!"
I still wish we could have seen anakin reaction to what krell did
even though we all hate krell we gotta admit, his lightsabers make the best sound
Довольно забавно, что, по сути, Понг Крелл оказался прав. Республика и джедаи были обречены. Печально, что столь много джедаев этого не понимало.
"CT-7567 are you reading me?"
Everyone: damn, we're in the biggest mess ever and we're fighting alongside with general Anakin Skywalker who brings us in many fine messes
Do you understand how many lives Krell could have saved if he took part in the battles himself, he would kill thousands of clones by himself
11:29 just imagine Krell coming across Sidious or Vader and saying “YOU DARE TO ATTACK A JEDI?!” Like a Chad to the Sith Lords.
Man, that would be sick.
Yes, i say that's my fav krell lines
I do like how they gave him yellow eyes to signify to us he’s gonna be bad news
Other than his voice cause that’s the voice of evil
14:11 Pong Krell just foreshadowed revenge of the sith.
He embodies every asshole CO, drill sergeant, NCO, or authority figure you'll ever meet. All aggression, ego, and selfishness. For them, those who serve them could rot as long as they get what they want.
If this was Vietnam, Krell would’ve been fragged. Either by the end of the 1st episode or the beginning of the 2nd.
legit thought the clones were giving him the silent treatment 2min in because he was behaving like a hard***. Forgot it’s just cuts to the character specifically 😆.
He is the kind of character that you just love to hate. You hate him but can't deny he is cool as f*ck. And his lightsabers are really cool
Happy 700 subscribers
Thanks my man!
@@JournaloftheWhills no problem, you’re growing so fast and for good reason to
Yooo 🤣🤣🤣 He went off when he broke down their purpose in the invasion omg 💀
The guy who voices krell is the voice of lee from the walking dead and Bluebeard from the wolf among us
Besalisks: Having the only two known members being the most loved character and the most hated character.
Pong Krell: “Where is A-aron?? If I don’t hear from A-aron I’m going to break this desk!”
Not only was general krell a giant rooster, he was also the world’s worst substitute teacher.
Might i request a video of all Grand Inquisitor scenes?
Can do that one will be a fun character to review for me. He’s been added to the list 🤙
Krell’s last words
The right thing
These episodes are 13 years old and the question of how Krell could have possibly known the clones' ID numbers just dawned on me.
The clones initially do not have call signs, there are no call signs in the database, there are just numbers, so Krell simply saw the database where the clone numbers were indicated, that’s all.
5:03 What are they doing?
Knock Knock Who's there Pong Krell Pong Krell who Pong Krell disguised himself as the enemy and prank called all of the clone troopers
I served with him. I used to hate him until I served with Cammander Fox and got forsaken by my own Empire. Now I miss the Old Republic and General Krell. Somedays it's so overwhelming I'm one bad day from ending up like him.
Nice video dude
Thanks bud!
@@JournaloftheWhills you're welcome
His voice is deeper than I thought it would be.
You can see the dark side in his eyes
Sometimes i wish they chose a different Jedi for Krells role in the clone wars. Would have LOVED to see Krell as an actual cool dude like Dexter Jettster
If general Skywalker was here to save his men from the traitorous Sith warrior, he be demoting krell from the rank of general and subjected to execution. Along with the two traitors: slick and the senate commando captain!
anakin vs krell would’ve been a fun fight to watch
Definitely a badass Jedi. By far the coolest fighter.
He would have enjoyed order 66.
top 15 what if’s in sw is What if Pong Krell was alive during order 66
1:09 Rex was think "hes worst Than Cody"
pong krell is the kind of thing order 66 was "publically" supposed to be used for XD
All crosshair scenes
That would be good
Best bit 15:33
Krell's lightsaberr would definitely make the best addition to grievous's collection
Wouldn't, Krell is a Jedi Master, master of weapons, skilled in close combat and in the use of force. In addition, he adjusted the Jar-Kai style to double-bladed swords and learned how to use them perfectly.
Krell is too strong for Grievous, Krell is inferior to Grievous only in physical parameters, otherwise Krell is equal or better than Grievous.
10:35 love that seen
He seems fond of the word "immediately."
Why does this guy just Remind me of the Jedi Brutes you killed as Anakin in the Episode 3 Video Game?
12:48 is it a yellow lightsaber?
No, it's actually green, it's just the lighting that makes it look yellow
