Anakin not only force pushed her into a wall hard enough to make it shatter a little and that looks like a pretty hard wall and then force chokes her while she's trying to recover. Anakin does not give two shits about being a jedi sometimes.
MegaDrainProductions He wasn't trying to kill Ventress, just take the fight out of her. If he wanted to kill her, he could have done so the minute he got her against the wall. Hell yeah he was angry, but he at least had enough control to pull back and ask questions.

Sometimes I wonder, Are jedi any different than the sith. I mean obviously they are, but some of the ways Jedi do things, just seems a bit inhumane or insensitive at times.
Primal Uktena Both sides aren't free of their faults. Both Orders have their own cultures and philosophies that benefit them, but you need to remember that they are both kind of extremists in their own right. Jedi are often seen as the servants of the Light Side of the Force and they believe that the Force should be used in the service of other people and goodness. However, that view often blinds them to other truths. They won't always do what needs to be done because of their pacifist and tolerant ways. That and they also believe that many things that make people feeling beings, like love, are gateways to the Dark Side. This, of course, isn't true.
This scene captured the irony of how fate turned out. Ventress started out on the dark path wanting to become sith, but eventually came back to the light... or at least became neutral. Anakin started out in the light and grew darker, and actually became a sith.
When you really think about it, you realize that Anakin, Dooku and Ventress were all Jedi before to turn to the Dark Side, then both Anakin and Dooku became a Sith while Ventress became an assassin. But then you have both Anakin and Ventress that finished to be at their very end more in between. Their evolution proves that these three evolved compare to the other Jedi
No ventress did not start out on a light path, she actually started out as a slave to a pirate which is considered dark then she became a Jedi which became on the light path, but her master died and she started going back to a dark path because she started killing again and dooku had her become a apprentice to become a sith. Now she left the dark path and became neutral. There are books on her that she fell in love with a Jedi and the council would pardon her crimes if she does some missions for them, but I don’t know if it was told she was doing it for the council or for her lover if for her lover then well she became neutral if for Jedi council and her lover well she became good. She died though, I think she died neutrally. She technically started from a dark path and ended up becoming neutral

Pretty much all the female characters here are some of the best in all Star Wars. Compare that to the sequel movies. Not a single compelling character. Yikes!
I don't think so, it was just the lighting. Your eyes don't go yellow just from getting angry, you actually need to so some really bad stuff and go deep into the dark side to get them.
1:44 You really start to see how broken Ventress was after Dooku’s betrayal.Although she had moved on, the stuff he did and things and people she lost from it still haunt her.She’s very similar to ahsoka this way, making Anakin start to question the Jedi Council’s treatment of Ahsoka even more.
I don't think she says "such promises" because she believes he can't do it. But because it isn't the Jedi way and I guess that in a way she enjoys seeing him be darker
The emotions the animation gives off is amazing. The voice and facial expressions really bring life to the storylines. Anakin looks like hes ready to storm the court room and rescue Ahsoka if he couldnt find answers.
@@viniciuscardoso8056 Anakin isn't really a villain at this point though. He's definitely not a model jedi but at this point in time, him serving the dark side is something absolutely unthinkable to him. Heck, I still think that Anakin's fall in RoTS needed more screen time. He basically went from "What have I done?!" to "Yes, the jedi order are clearly evil and must be eradicated". Although that might just be him coping and justifying his actions, knowing there's no turning back.
Love how aggressive anakin says "tell me what happen" shows how serious he is following up the choke. Showing he won't hesitate to kill her where she stood
That said, I think he figured out she wasn't the culprit at that point. She clearly didn't have her lightsabers on her, or she wouldn't have tried to use a couple of pipes against a kriffing LIGHTSABER, and it's not like she had the need to ditch them, so something had to have happened, hence why he didn't yell something more like "CONFESS!" and just drag her sorry ass to the nearest jail
It's probably a combination of (1) being nice so Anakin won't cut her head off and (2) realizing that she and Anakin's padawan are somewhat kindred spirits.
If I had to guess, she starts out in fear due to the implications of being involved with Ahsoka at this point. Had it been any other Jedi, she probably would have been afraid that she could be implicated as a co-conspirator in the bombing... but seeing as it was Anakin and she could likely sense his anger, she is terrified that he believes she had framed Ahsoka. She found out on Kamino that she can't count on him showing mercy like she could abuse with any other Jedi... and she can't start disrobing in front of him as a distraction like she can vs Obi Wan... I SEE YOU CHECKING HER OUT KENOBI!!! Once he decisively wins the fight and demonstrates that he is more interested in finding out the actual truth than any revenge he perceives he can find in killing Ventress, she starts opening up.
I just realized that this is literally Ventress' last on-screen appearance. Her final arc got scrapped and put into the Dark Desciple novel. Man, I wish they could finish that arc and give her a proper send-off.
@@black-meliodas7773 Yeah, but Disney wil not do that. I haven't read the book but I know what happens in it and I personally don't like that she needs to fight Dooku again and die through his hand :/. In my opinion she has come over Dooku. Back to the mini series. I don't understand Disney. They could have made so much money with 2 more seasons finishing all story lines but somehow in that case money wasn't important to them... The only logical explanation to me would be that the contract with Cartoon Network hasn't ended yet but they've given enough money for them so they could at least get one season to get new clients for Disney+.
The problem is she was too much of a fan favourite..they wouldnt kill her off if TCW completed her arc..the books still have the courage to kill off fan favourite characters, unlike Dave Filoni
I always appreciated how both Anakin and Ahsoka trusted Ventress in this arc. Neither of them could truly rely on the republic at this point, and it holds true that the people you dislike will usually tell the truth. Yeah, Anakin was about to snap her neck in half here, but I always felt like they had somewhat of a “friendly” rivalry between them. Letting her go shows that he respects her and her position at least a little bit
Well, Anakin at the very least did not hold a grudge on Ventress. He probably realized that since she's no longer a threat to the jedi order and the republic and is just trying to make due.
@@burakserhattopuz8110 The fact that the rule is an absolute itself is ironic but it's completely missing the point. The point is "DEALS" meaning its either this or that no compromises when making deals with other beings. Think back to what Anakin said to Obi Wan before their epic duel. "You're either with me or your my enemy." Anakin is giving Obi Wan two choices that Obi Wan does not want to make and leaves no room for negotiation. They are basically ultimatums, in which a Jedi would never DEAL in because a Jedi strives to achieve the middle ground when dealing with their own demands and the demands of others. That is until a Jedi is dealt an absolute like in the example I mentioned above with Anakin and Obi Wan. Then they will do what they must since they are given no other choice. Jedi can have rules that are absolutes. I mean the whole jedi code (and sith code) is full of absolutes. It's just not the Jedi way to deal in them because it goes against the nature of a Jedi which is compassion, order, and peace.
@@CyberRelic280 so what you're saying is you like the feeling of cold but soft lasagna noodles sliding out of your poop hole into the mouth of the elderly? Is that what you're saying?
And than she falls in love with Quinlan Vos, gets captured by Dooku, forced to reveal she killed Vos’s master, gets beaten up even worse by him, gets arrested by the Jedi, forced to bring Vos in, assaulted and brought before Dooku and Sidious himself, tortured with Vos and finally killed in an effort to save her lover. Someone give Ventress a hug and a kiss already!!!!
Definitely one of his darker clone wars moments, he was being very violent. The brief glint of yellow in his eyes + specifically choosing to have him wear his robe like he did as Vader in the ROTS are great visual details that reinforce that we're seeing his dark side.
@@jpf7942 I'm not sure if "turn her life around" is the right phrase here. More like she just wanted to make due and stay away from both the light and the dark side.
This is one of the scenes that shows just how much Anakin cares about Ahsoka. Ventress was mostly right, but Anakin never gave up on or abandoned Ahsoka, that was the order's fault. If the order and the council treated all of the jedi better, Anakin would've stayed with the light. Ahsoka's expulsion led to their downfall in multiple ways. She contains the spirit of the light, and they pushed her away. That also meant Anakin didn't have the light literally by his side anymore
This! Don't know if it was intentional but it's really symbolic. Ahsoka was brought back to life thanks to the daughter's (embodiment of the light side) remaining life and since then, Morai watches over her (Who was portrayed on the daughters side in that painting in rebels). So in a way, Ahsoka was the new embodiment of the light and with the Jedi council expelling her from the order, they rejected the light they held so dear and pushed Anakin further to the darkside.
@@xemi2087 in a way, this Clone Wars episode (which plays out a lot like an episode of any really gritty Batman cartoon or TV series) really emphasizes what Revenge of the Sith already told us: that if you look at both the Jedi and the Sith from an objective, non-biased viewpoint, they're not really different at all, they just *seem* different because they have different points of view on the subject both know the most about: The Force. The differences that *are* there are all just aesthetic, surface-level differences. And that the Jedi are ultimately responsible for the creation of Darth Vader. Sidious may have pushed him *down* the path to becoming a Sith Lord in the end, but the Jedi were (unknowingly) doing most of the work *for* Sidious.
+blastiosemaster Anakin wasn't made a Jedi master because of his mentality. He may have been the 3rd most powerful Jedi in the Order, but he hadn't developed control over his emotions.
Anyone else realize that all the movements and even the stance he takes at 0:51 are all the same as Vader's movements and attacks? Great Detail especially since he never fights like this
@@burakserhattopuz8110 sure when he's thinking straight trying to kill, but here? guess who's pissed off, trying to get information as well as give someone a beat down
I love scenes where a Villain (or previously villainous character) underestimates what the (supposed) hero is willing to do to get what they want. Anakin does not engage her like he has done before, none of that arrogance or bravado, he just backs her in to a corner and demands that which he needs. Armed or not, Ventriss did not stand a chance. And you can almost, just almost, see the fear in her eyes. She may make a snarky comment afterwards, remarking on how he says he'll kill her, but I think, deep down, she knows he will.
Ventress: My master, abandon me. And that's exactly what you did to her. You and you'r precios jedi order. I think those words afect Anakin more than we can see.
Always impressed with Anakin's strength. His right arm is a highly durable metal with great strength and he's doing a ton of impressive physical feats with his left.
this. In the fight against bariss, he uses his mechanical forearm to literally beat her with a lightsaber. Whats amazing is once she jumps on him making him lose the other saber, the mechanical hand manages to hold onto it which he uses to overpower her.
@@haydenfowle7576 I just mean an ex sith being outwardly afraid of a teetering jedi is an interesting concept. Especially since each of their arcs eventually go in completely opposite directions.
This is such a great full circle moment for Anakin that is sorely missed in the movies. His first moment of going to the dark side was when he slaughtered that village after they kill his mom. Now you have this where he is full on hunting and torturing someone to avenge a surrogate sister. It also ties in nicely with the end of Rebels season 2 where Anakin as Vader blames Ahsoka for leaving him when it was really him who abandoned her by sticking with the Jedi order over her. Because of what happened to his mother, he never got over trying to protect and control people he cared deeply about and that was his undoing.
Man, Asajj is actually really cool for spilling this much of her beans. Like, she easily could've just kept her mouth shut about contacting the temple, but she volunteered that info.
Prequel Haters that are fanboys of the OT, this is the true young Darth Vader. So stop complaining that Vader was a whiny brat and except nothing in this era as canon when you don't even see the canon Matt Latner version of him. He played the part extraordinarily well.
joe wilson Yep. At least there's lots of haters not like that, such as critics. Nostalgia Critic made a video of the things he likes about the prequels despite his negative opinions. There's those people, and people blind to anything and call anyone a fan of anything not OT or TFA an 8-year old.
ryhansen1 prequel hating is exaptable, because they simply aren't good movies and they didn't handle the characters well. But indeed, the clone wars did everything the should have done and much more. And yes, Matt Lanter's Anakin is exactly what I imagine a young Darth Vader to be, he's great! But that really only makes me hate Hayden's portrail of the character even more when I see RotS..
Bastiaan Wiltjer It's not the fact of hating prequels, it's being a blind fan/hater that I'm talking about. The prequels overall were indeed mediocre at best, but it brings out the cancer in the fanbase.
ryhansen1 now THAT is absolutely true... Star Wars and DC fanboys are some of the worst you'll ever come accross (I do seperate fans and fanboys, just so you know)
You know looking back being betrayed was the best thing to happen to her. Ventress went from being a mostly two dimensional character just around to be the big bad sith for a few episodes at a time, to helping those she would otherwise be attempting to kill because she sees a kindred spirit in Ahsoka.
No one: Literally no one: Not even J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson, or Kathleen Kennedy: 72nd Emmy Awards: Nominate Star Wars Resistance for "Outstanding Children's Program" but leave out Star Wars: The Clone Wars entirely.
"My master abandoned me, and that's exactly what you did to her. You and you precious Jedi Order." She was talking about Dooku while referencing Ky Narec.
@@marvelfangirl3328 Ahsoka would get stomped by CW Anakin, ROTS Anakin, pre-suited Vader, the cybernetic Vader...literally every version of Anakin/Vader that isn't the 9 year old
After this scene I think that Ventress never came with an agreement with Ahsoka because she promised to speak to the council on her behalf it was because she felt sorry for her
Ahsoka never committed heinous acts, but she still has been thrown under the bus by Tarkin, the Senate, and the Jedi Order. She has been misjudged and mistreated by the organization she trusted. It's just awful.
After all these years, it is so surreal to watch Anakin and Ventress go from a fucking deathmatch on Yavin to communicating about Ahsoka’s innocence? What a time to be alive.
Anakin's biggest flaw is his feelings for his loved ones. If his mother, Obi Wan, Ahsoka, Padme and later Luke were in peril, there's no limit to what he'd do to save them. There was no Anakin in this scene, just pure Vader.
His flaw is his inability to let go of his loved ones. Yoda told him to train himself to let go and he wasn't able to do that which is why palpatine was able to convert him. In contrast, Ezra was able to let go of his parents and his master (despite having strong connections with them) and when Palpatine tried to tempt him he failed both times
+Owen Bloose Its canon :/ part of "the clone wars legacy" project to publish unfinished clone wars in different forms of media other than through the show itself.
Matt Lanter was 25-26 years old when he voiced Anakin Skywalker in the 2008 animated film and Season 01 (2008-2009). He would be 29-30 years old by the time Season 05 (2012-2013) was made. Nika Futterman was 39-40 years old when she voiced Asajj Ventress in the 2008 animated film and Season 01 (2008-2009). She would be 43-44 years old by Season 05 (2012-2013). So, you can tell that both voice actors have gotten used to playing their characters by this point. What's funny is that in most of the other language dubs of the series they actually got some of the voice actors from the other dubs of the Live Action Movies as well and the animated tv shows.
If I was Asajj here I would kinda fall in love with Anakin after this encounter. This is not how a normal Jedi behaves. Even though he choked her and scared the shit out of her, seeing a Jedi act so aggressively to protect his padawan would probably gain him quite a bit of respect from an ex-sith who was abandoned by her master. Anakin is the master she wishes she could've had.
thats my whole point lol hence me sicking my tongue out :P Trust me I know everything about anakin transition. these were some of his early stages dipping into the darkside
Shawn Ford Force Choke isn't exclusively a Dark Side ability. Many Jedi have used it before, mostly on artificial opponent such as crushing Battle Droid. Even Mace Windu has used it on General Grievous. Anakin, however, was not as reserved with the power with his abrasive and straight-forward nature. He's always resorted to brute strength in fighting. His fifth form lightsaber techniques, Shien (for blaster fire) and Djem So (for lightsaber duels and his primary form) are primarily offensive and brutal. And Anakin was also particularly talented in using Force Choke, in battle and interrogation. His passion and short-temper are the main reasons for use constant use in choking enemies.
Shawn Ford In short, many Jedi who dabble on the edge of Dark Side without being seduced by it, use more offensive abilities like Force Choke more fluently. Anakin and Mace Windu are prime examples of these kinds of Jedi.
Dooku betrayed the fuck out of her. What sucks was that she was becoming so powerful and winning, this made Sideous feel Dooku was going to overthrow him so he forced Dooku to take her out of power and try to kill her. Its really sad. Assajj Ventress had so much opportunity to become incredibly powerful.

Anyone else notice that when Anakin is in the dark his eyes have a tint of Yellow? Love the small details.
Yeah. That’s crazy right there. Good eye
Where?
I don't think so, it was just the lighting. Your eyes don't go yellow just from getting angry, you actually need to so some really bad stuff and go deep into the dark side to get them.
@@Obi-Wan_Kenobi Even if it was just lighting, it's still great symbolism.
it was really yellow, you can also see it when he ignites his light saber
0:59 Anakin: *cuts through her metal pole with his lightsaber*
Ventress: *Surprised Pikachu face*
@Hungti yooooo lmfao
1:44 You really start to see how broken Ventress was after Dooku’s betrayal.Although she had moved on, the stuff he did and things and people she lost from it still haunt her.She’s very similar to ahsoka this way, making Anakin start to question the Jedi Council’s treatment of Ahsoka even more.
I think what really broke her was Grievous' attack on Dathomir, her sisters, her family were entirely wiped out, she had no one
0:59 lol she's was like "damn it i forgot"
Or "oh shit! I'm so fucked"
I forgor 💀
Anakin: Don't worry, I can play the same game *force chokes her*
I just admire Anakin's progression throughout the series with his lightsaber combat skills and power.
he became stronger and stronger until his fall, but then he became even stronger as vader
I'm sure Padme luuuvs his lightsaber skill. TEHEHEHEHHUGHLAHLAHALAAAHH
"If you're lying...you're dead."
"Such promises..."
...right. He didn't HAVE to let go of that force choke y'know...
I don't think she says "such promises" because she believes he can't do it. But because it isn't the Jedi way and I guess that in a way she enjoys seeing him be darker
@@SchultzDorinda And yet she was so scared, when he almost crushed her neck.
@@GM-kp7yw Indeed.
But you can be scared of something and still enjoy it
@@SchultzDorinda _kinky_
I think she quite liked being force choked by Anakin. 😈
The emotions the animation gives off is amazing. The voice and facial expressions really bring life to the storylines. Anakin looks like hes ready to storm the court room and rescue Ahsoka if he couldnt find answers.
Well this is Anakin "massacred a whole tribe over his mother's death" Skywaker. I don't think that would be beyond him.
Damn, Anakin. THAT is an entrance worthy of a Star Wars protagonist.
Yep that looked like when E's Starkiller(Galen Marek) dropped down to fight Shakk Ti
He is a villain prota not a real hero, luke and ahsoka is true heroes
Or antagonist knowing that he’ll be Vader
@@viniciuscardoso8056 Anakin isn't really a villain at this point though. He's definitely not a model jedi but at this point in time, him serving the dark side is something absolutely unthinkable to him. Heck, I still think that Anakin's fall in RoTS needed more screen time. He basically went from "What have I done?!" to "Yes, the jedi order are clearly evil and must be eradicated". Although that might just be him coping and justifying his actions, knowing there's no turning back.
@@Matihood1 too
Love how aggressive anakin says "tell me what happen" shows how serious he is following up the choke. Showing he won't hesitate to kill her where she stood
That said, I think he figured out she wasn't the culprit at that point. She clearly didn't have her lightsabers on her, or she wouldn't have tried to use a couple of pipes against a kriffing LIGHTSABER, and it's not like she had the need to ditch them, so something had to have happened, hence why he didn't yell something more like "CONFESS!" and just drag her sorry ass to the nearest jail
wow ventress is suprisingly frendly in this one
hemmo etänoja nahhh she just in fear so She just playing nice
It's probably a combination of (1) being nice so Anakin won't cut her head off and (2) realizing that she and Anakin's padawan are somewhat kindred spirits.
On top of all that at this point she's no longer a Sith acolyte or embedded in the dark side of the force, so she's a lot more human than before.
If I had to guess, she starts out in fear due to the implications of being involved with Ahsoka at this point. Had it been any other Jedi, she probably would have been afraid that she could be implicated as a co-conspirator in the bombing... but seeing as it was Anakin and she could likely sense his anger, she is terrified that he believes she had framed Ahsoka. She found out on Kamino that she can't count on him showing mercy like she could abuse with any other Jedi... and she can't start disrobing in front of him as a distraction like she can vs Obi Wan... I SEE YOU CHECKING HER OUT KENOBI!!!
Once he decisively wins the fight and demonstrates that he is more interested in finding out the actual truth than any revenge he perceives he can find in killing Ventress, she starts opening up.
She is heading more into neutrality now; she's much less Sith than she was before.
"It had to be ANOTHER Jedi."
I like how that line is also a reference to Ventress's own past as a Jedi.
I just realized that this is literally Ventress' last on-screen appearance. Her final arc got scrapped and put into the Dark Desciple novel. Man, I wish they could finish that arc and give her a proper send-off.
Well it were planned to do 8 Episodes of DD right?
So they could make a mini the Clone Wars art-style Series just like Falcon and the Wnter Soldier
@@black-meliodas7773
Yeah, but Disney wil not do that. I haven't read the book but I know what happens in it and I personally don't like that she needs to fight Dooku again and die through his hand :/. In my opinion she has come over Dooku. Back to the mini series. I don't understand Disney. They could have made so much money with 2 more seasons finishing all story lines but somehow in that case money wasn't important to them...
The only logical explanation to me would be that the contract with Cartoon Network hasn't ended yet but they've given enough money for them so they could at least get one season to get new clients for Disney+.
@@hanskaczka7688 Ventress > Dooku?
I like her way more but Dooku would moop the floor with her is if he is going Serious
@@black-meliodas7773
That's true.
The problem is she was too much of a fan favourite..they wouldnt kill her off if TCW completed her arc..the books still have the courage to kill off fan favourite characters, unlike Dave Filoni
I always appreciated how both Anakin and Ahsoka trusted Ventress in this arc. Neither of them could truly rely on the republic at this point, and it holds true that the people you dislike will usually tell the truth.
Yeah, Anakin was about to snap her neck in half here, but I always felt like they had somewhat of a “friendly” rivalry between them. Letting her go shows that he respects her and her position at least a little bit
Well, Anakin at the very least did not hold a grudge on Ventress. He probably realized that since she's no longer a threat to the jedi order and the republic and is just trying to make due.
Anakin's inner Vader is barely restraining itself here.
"If you're lying, you're dead"
...only a Sith deals in absolutes.
This rule is an absolute itself so it is really ironic to jedi have this rule.
@@burakserhattopuz8110 The fact that the rule is an absolute itself is ironic but it's completely missing the point. The point is "DEALS" meaning its either this or that no compromises when making deals with other beings. Think back to what Anakin said to Obi Wan before their epic duel. "You're either with me or your my enemy." Anakin is giving Obi Wan two choices that Obi Wan does not want to make and leaves no room for negotiation. They are basically ultimatums, in which a Jedi would never DEAL in because a Jedi strives to achieve the middle ground when dealing with their own demands and the demands of others. That is until a Jedi is dealt an absolute like in the example I mentioned above with Anakin and Obi Wan. Then they will do what they must since they are given no other choice. Jedi can have rules that are absolutes. I mean the whole jedi code (and sith code) is full of absolutes. It's just not the Jedi way to deal in them because it goes against the nature of a Jedi which is compassion, order, and peace.
@@CyberRelic280 yes I agree with you but compassion? No.
@@burakserhattopuz8110 What about compassion?
@@CyberRelic280 so what you're saying is you like the feeling of cold but soft lasagna noodles sliding out of your poop hole into the mouth of the elderly? Is that what you're saying?
1:42 the way Anakin says that always gives me chills
His eyes went full yellow there
And than she falls in love with Quinlan Vos, gets captured by Dooku, forced to reveal she killed Vos’s master, gets beaten up even worse by him, gets arrested by the Jedi, forced to bring Vos in, assaulted and brought before Dooku and Sidious himself, tortured with Vos and finally killed in an effort to save her lover.
Someone give Ventress a hug and a kiss already!!!!
nah. She decides to fake her own death and go away from both the jedi and sith, leaving in peace. The Dark Disciple was honestly trash
When Ventress utters the line, "Leave me alone!" you really get the feel that Anakin is the bad guy here...
Yeah I felt bad for her. She didn't want trouble and is trying to turn her life around at that point
Definitely one of his darker clone wars moments, he was being very violent. The brief glint of yellow in his eyes + specifically choosing to have him wear his robe like he did as Vader in the ROTS are great visual details that reinforce that we're seeing his dark side.
@@jpf7942 I'm not sure if "turn her life around" is the right phrase here. More like she just wanted to make due and stay away from both the light and the dark side.
I mean, she knows how powerful he is and she didn't have her sabers.

@@rainefyre6750 ha ha
This is one of the scenes that shows just how much Anakin cares about Ahsoka. Ventress was mostly right, but Anakin never gave up on or abandoned Ahsoka, that was the order's fault. If the order and the council treated all of the jedi better, Anakin would've stayed with the light. Ahsoka's expulsion led to their downfall in multiple ways. She contains the spirit of the light, and they pushed her away. That also meant Anakin didn't have the light literally by his side anymore
This! Don't know if it was intentional but it's really symbolic. Ahsoka was brought back to life thanks to the daughter's (embodiment of the light side) remaining life and since then, Morai watches over her (Who was portrayed on the daughters side in that painting in rebels). So in a way, Ahsoka was the new embodiment of the light and with the Jedi council expelling her from the order, they rejected the light they held so dear and pushed Anakin further to the darkside.
@@xemi2087 in a way, this Clone Wars episode (which plays out a lot like an episode of any really gritty Batman cartoon or TV series) really emphasizes what Revenge of the Sith already told us: that if you look at both the Jedi and the Sith from an objective, non-biased viewpoint, they're not really different at all, they just *seem* different because they have different points of view on the subject both know the most about: The Force. The differences that *are* there are all just aesthetic, surface-level differences. And that the Jedi are ultimately responsible for the creation of Darth Vader. Sidious may have pushed him *down* the path to becoming a Sith Lord in the end, but the Jedi were (unknowingly) doing most of the work *for* Sidious.
@@xemi2087 amazing actually and it really does show how far gone the Jedi actually were kinda sad

I love scenes where a Villain (or previously villainous character) underestimates what the (supposed) hero is willing to do to get what they want. Anakin does not engage her like he has done before, none of that arrogance or bravado, he just backs her in to a corner and demands that which he needs. Armed or not, Ventriss did not stand a chance.
And you can almost, just almost, see the fear in her eyes. She may make a snarky comment afterwards, remarking on how he says he'll kill her, but I think, deep down, she knows he will.
Ventress: My master, abandon me. And that's exactly what you did to her. You and you'r precios jedi order.
I think those words afect Anakin more than we can see.

Always impressed with Anakin's strength. His right arm is a highly durable metal with great strength and he's doing a ton of impressive physical feats with his left.
this. In the fight against bariss, he uses his mechanical forearm to literally beat her with a lightsaber. Whats amazing is once she jumps on him making him lose the other saber, the mechanical hand manages to hold onto it which he uses to overpower her.
"You and your precious Jedi Order"
The feeling of this line surely changed a lot from the first season to the last.

This is such a great full circle moment for Anakin that is sorely missed in the movies. His first moment of going to the dark side was when he slaughtered that village after they kill his mom. Now you have this where he is full on hunting and torturing someone to avenge a surrogate sister. It also ties in nicely with the end of Rebels season 2 where Anakin as Vader blames Ahsoka for leaving him when it was really him who abandoned her by sticking with the Jedi order over her. Because of what happened to his mother, he never got over trying to protect and control people he cared deeply about and that was his undoing.
With the cloak he looks like a huge lumbering figure, honestly feels like an appearance of Vader

Man, Asajj is actually really cool for spilling this much of her beans. Like, she easily could've just kept her mouth shut about contacting the temple, but she volunteered that info.
Prequel Haters that are fanboys of the OT, this is the true young Darth Vader. So stop complaining that Vader was a whiny brat and except nothing in this era as canon when you don't even see the canon Matt Latner version of him. He played the part extraordinarily well.
joe wilson Yep. At least there's lots of haters not like that, such as critics. Nostalgia Critic made a video of the things he likes about the prequels despite his negative opinions. There's those people, and people blind to anything and call anyone a fan of anything not OT or TFA an 8-year old.
ryhansen1 prequel hating is exaptable, because they simply aren't good movies and they didn't handle the characters well. But indeed, the clone wars did everything the should have done and much more. And yes, Matt Lanter's Anakin is exactly what I imagine a young Darth Vader to be, he's great!
But that really only makes me hate Hayden's portrail of the character even more when I see RotS..
Bastiaan Wiltjer It's not the fact of hating prequels, it's being a blind fan/hater that I'm talking about. The prequels overall were indeed mediocre at best, but it brings out the cancer in the fanbase.

You know looking back being betrayed was the best thing to happen to her. Ventress went from being a mostly two dimensional character just around to be the big bad sith for a few episodes at a time, to helping those she would otherwise be attempting to kill because she sees a kindred spirit in Ahsoka.
As much as I loved season 7 I wished they gave a proper conclusion to Asajj Ventress. Her role and arc was amazing
couldn't be helped, Disney didn't allow the team to finish everything.
Still in that majority that's salty she died offscreen, rather than see her arc end in season 7.

After all these years, it is so surreal to watch Anakin and Ventress go from a fucking deathmatch on Yavin to communicating about Ahsoka’s innocence? What a time to be alive.
Omg Anakin in his Jedi robes freaking epic 😱😍
This is the look when he became Darth Vader
I just realized at the start of the video the camera passes one of the bridges and you can see anakin waiting for ventress
Also a Loth cat pre-dating Rebels
Anakin's biggest flaw is his feelings for his loved ones. If his mother, Obi Wan, Ahsoka, Padme and later Luke were in peril, there's no limit to what he'd do to save them.
There was no Anakin in this scene, just pure Vader.
His feelings are also his greatest strength. He'll go to hell and back to save you if you're in danger.
His flaw is his inability to let go of his loved ones. Yoda told him to train himself to let go and he wasn't able to do that which is why palpatine was able to convert him. In contrast, Ezra was able to let go of his parents and his master (despite having strong connections with them) and when Palpatine tried to tempt him he failed both times

2:02 " I always pictured the both of them leaning against the rails and smoking a cigarette"
Matt Lanter was 25-26 years old when he voiced Anakin Skywalker in the 2008 animated film and Season 01 (2008-2009). He would be 29-30 years old by the time Season 05 (2012-2013) was made. Nika Futterman was 39-40 years old when she voiced Asajj Ventress in the 2008 animated film and Season 01 (2008-2009). She would be 43-44 years old by Season 05 (2012-2013). So, you can tell that both voice actors have gotten used to playing their characters by this point. What's funny is that in most of the other language dubs of the series they actually got some of the voice actors from the other dubs of the Live Action Movies as well and the animated tv shows.
If I was Asajj here I would kinda fall in love with Anakin after this encounter. This is not how a normal Jedi behaves. Even though he choked her and scared the shit out of her, seeing a Jedi act so aggressively to protect his padawan would probably gain him quite a bit of respect from an ex-sith who was abandoned by her master. Anakin is the master she wishes she could've had.
When you realize it's the last time you see Ventress in the Clone Wars.
This was perhaps the first time in the series Ventress was truly afraid of Anakin.
Asajj Ventress was a monster. But she was a relatable monster, and more complex than meets the eye.
since when good guys use the force choke? :P
+Shawn Ford Anakin's using the force choke all the time. :-D
+Shawn Ford You obviously don't know Darth Va- I mean Anakin Skywalker that well.
thats my whole point lol hence me sicking my tongue out :P Trust me I know everything about anakin transition. these were some of his early stages dipping into the darkside
Shawn Ford Force Choke isn't exclusively a Dark Side ability. Many Jedi have used it before, mostly on artificial opponent such as crushing Battle Droid. Even Mace Windu has used it on General Grievous. Anakin, however, was not as reserved with the power with his abrasive and straight-forward nature. He's always resorted to brute strength in fighting. His fifth form lightsaber techniques, Shien (for blaster fire) and Djem So (for lightsaber duels and his primary form) are primarily offensive and brutal. And Anakin was also particularly talented in using Force Choke, in battle and interrogation. His passion and short-temper are the main reasons for use constant use in choking enemies.
Shawn Ford In short, many Jedi who dabble on the edge of Dark Side without being seduced by it, use more offensive abilities like Force Choke more fluently. Anakin and Mace Windu are prime examples of these kinds of Jedi.
When the main character is scarier than the former villain.
hang on, Asajj said her master abandoned her? her first two died, that's not abandonment. if she meant Dooku, then that would make sense
She does
I think Ventress means Dooku.
Dooku betrayed the fuck out of her. What sucks was that she was becoming so powerful and winning, this made Sideous feel Dooku was going to overthrow him so he forced Dooku to take her out of power and try to kill her. Its really sad. Assajj Ventress had so much opportunity to become incredibly powerful.
When Anakin stops force choking you to use his own hand, that's how you know it's personal.
1:06
The closest Anakin has ever been to going full on Darth Vader in clone wars
I also count the fight with Barriss after this
