For those wondering about General Grievous' cybernetics backstory: It has been changed in Canon where he wanted to get them as opposed to the backstory in the original Expanded Universe, aka Legends, where it was forced upon him by Dooku who blew up his transport ship prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars. This video goes over the entire Clone Wars timeline in Canon. Starting from the foundations laid by the Sith, the Separatist Crisis, the pivotal points throughout the Clone Wars and the eventual transformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire. Video written by Numidian Prime and edited by Vader's Fortress. Check out Numidian Prime's website: numidianprime.wordpress.com/ and Vader's Fortress channel: th-cam.com/users/VadersFortress
The late Republic Era (Prequel Era) is probably the best period of Star Wars history, in my opinion. It still has so much potential to be completely fleshed out and developed.
Disney has been just way too obsessed with the imperial era ever since they got Star Wars for themselves. So obsessed that even in settings way after it they just keep bringing back the same old imperials. I doubt theres gonna be major content for any other time periods any time soon.
It still kinda blows my mind that the Clone Wars only lasted 3 years. With the way it’s talked about in the original trilogy & all the stuff mentioned in this video, you’d think it would have lasted longer.
It would have if Palpatine wasn’t playing both sides and orchestrating everything to his design I do think without Sith influence it would have gone on for longer
@@arnahunas4048 Is a galactic year the same as ours? I always thought that it was technically longer because there are many systems with various lengths of "years".
@@davidordaz5251 No! It would've have been shorter if Palpatine didn't play Both Sides because he wouldn't spread fake rumors to make the Separatists and Republic fight each other but if he kept it up then it would've have lasted longer at least 10 years
It's pretty funny how Sidious spent most of his life following an extremely slow and meticulous plan in order to destroy the Jedi, while other Sith, like Darth Malgus, just crashed ships full of Dark Side's adepts into the Jedi Temple in plan: "Let's end this sh*t quickly. I want to be home for dinner!"
Who would have thought having an army of multiple sith, bounty hunters, and war ships and soldiers would have an easier time taking over the republic than 1 man
“The guerrilla resistance, … would ironically later fight against the force that trained and equipped it…” Me an American: “Hey I’ve seen this one before it’s a classic“
I mean, you realise the empire in the OT is literally based on the US right? George openly talks about how the US were the empire and the Vietnamese were the rebels/ewoks. He wanted to show that with hope, a primitive culture can beat a more advanced culture. Which is what happened in irl when Vietnam beat the US. He also based basically all the politicians in the PT on real US politicians like Clinton and bush. Darth Vader literally quotes bush.. George is pretty anti US politics. The reason why most people are British in the OT is because Star Wars was basically made in the UK. So all the extras were locals.
It's amazing how much planning and work went on over so many generations to engineer the Clone Wars and the Fall of the Jedi, and the Empire lasted barely more than 20 years.
@@guilhermebarbosa2519 whether you consider the sequels canon or not ultimately the sith were completely wiped out while a very powerful Jedi (Luke/Rey) remained to rebuild
Seriously though. It bugs me for sure. Palpatine knew how to gain control. He didn't know how to keep it. His supposed death at the end of Return of the Jedi was at Vader's hands, the man he groomed to be his apprentice after the Clone Wars. It took 1000 years for the Republic to fall. It took less than 20 for the Empire to fall
Something that isn’t mentioned here but I think is important: After a bombing on Cato Nemoidia, palpatine uses “growing threats of extremism” to formally integrate the Jedi into the republics military. This is where the Jedi get their armor from during the Clone Wars series, and it also marks the end of the Jedis’ role as peacekeepers into soldiers.
If there’s one thing I would change about the clone wars in canon is give the CIS more content centered around them. Not as villains but as the main characters.
*1000 years before the Clone Wars* Darth Bane: "Now that the Sith have bern reborn under our new phylosophy, the Jedi will be finally destroyed" Darth Zannah: "Excellent, Master. And when we will be able to get our revenge?" Darth Bane: "..." Darth Zannah: "..." Darth Bane: "Maybe we are going to need "some" time..."
If you wanna sync up the 2003 and 2008 Clone Wars shows, watch the 2003 Clone Wars up to Anakin’s Knighting and the montage after when he gets the scar. Then binge the 2008 Clone Wars up to Season 7 and past the first two arcs. This is where things get tricky, but just watch The Battle of Coruscant before the Siege of Mandalore and you’re good.
@@knightmare5097 because we had years of amazing lore and continuity setup from the Clone wars multi media project. Dozens and dozens of comics, novels, video games, the 2003 series, etc... and here comes the 2008 series to take a massive shit on all of that. It appeases the normies and casual fans but spits in the face of everyone else.
i would love to see all the cool adventures Obi-wan and Anakin took between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, not many people talk about that gap but i think itd be compelling
There were a couple of book series written in the EU back when that covered some of it. One of then, Jedi Quest, takes Anakin from a glorified Youngling up to a couple of years before Attack of the Clones. It's something like a snapshot series of different(sometimes connected) missions Obi-Wan and Anakin take on over those years.
I never knew this all tied together so perfectly. I only watched a bit of the animated series because I just found it confusing and it wasnt really my style but damn you told a perfect summary of that whole timeline. And I never knew it also connected the Star Wars Disney+ shows like that. Awesome
Having just sat down and for the first time in my life, consecutively watched Episodes 1-6 with Rogue One, this timeline video has been incredibly helpful for answering questions I had. Awesome video!
Out of every conflict in the Star Wars mythology you could arguably say that the clone wars was one of the most important factors to shape how the galaxy would look & be going towards from that point on. It had so much to do with how the future was shaped in that world it’s crazy 💯.
Grievous did not "chose" to turn into a cybernetic being, he was framed by Dooku who nearly killed him on an explosion and had him rebuilt by Palpatine using tech later used to repair Vader (but badly).
I’m pretty sure there’s two explanations, this one and the one in the Video, not sure which one is canon though Edit: The choice of cybernetic augmentation is the canon explanation, was changed from the Dooku causing it explanation
Legends: Good enough coverage of the starting and ending days, lacking on the midpoint. Alt-universe: Good enough coverage of the starting days and the midpoint, lacking on the late days. Take your pick, people.
We got to input the Legends Clone Wars events as well. I know Grievous was critically injured in a ship explosion masterminded by Dooku in order to make him be part of the CIS and was then turned into a cyborg as result of that. And does anyone remember the animated Clone Wars miniseries? These count in too.
Cool. I'm glad this video mentioned the final fate of Ventress. She was one of my favorite new Star Wars characters who originated via "The Clone Wars" series. I had always wondered what became of her after she became a bounty hunter.
I was not a fan of the prequels when they first came out and there are still issues I have with them (in my opinion we didn't even need most of the first movie and it's weird Anakin and Padme met when she looked like an adult and him a child) However, the Clone Wars was great series and I have enjoyed seeing this world expanded upon. I appreciate movies 2 and 3 a lot more. I think Dave Filoni has a lot to do with it so kudos to him and his team.
This is a point I've thought about too. Episode 2 should have been Episode 1, but with elements from Ep 1 worked into it. I'm not saying a 6 hour movie, I'm saying take things like teenage Anakin, Darth Maul, Qui-Gonn Jinn, and work them into the general events of Ep 2. Maybe start the movie with a crisis on Naboo and end with the Clone Wars starting on Geonosis, then make the bulk of it the Jedi trying to stop the war from happening while the Sith work from the shadows to make sure that it does happen.
i think Episode 1 was essential to understanding how Palpatine initially gained power. if it started at Episode 2, he’d already be in power. Episode 1 was showing how he was able to sow the seeds *for* Episode 2. that’s what i think.
I like this video! I’d love to see a similar video for the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Rebellion. The period between the Battle Of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth doesn’t get enough play. I know it’s been covered in comics but I think it’s a period that should have gotten a series. Or a few series.
hmm I think the death of Mother Talzin, allowed Palpatine to go ahead with order 66. Mother Talzin and Maul were going to become a massive threat to his empire.
Very tragic events indeed... sad how many tried to expose this damn puppet war like Fives but were killed... especially got chills when Maul tried to warn Ahsoka of the coming darkness and of Anakin... Ventress also became good... she and ObiWan sounded very fond of each other... sad after Satine, ObiWan didn't take a liking to her... poor clones... ObiWan and Anakin were such good friends of them...
It is after his downfall to Sidious yes, but not the Republic invasion. TLM actually has a comic narrated video about "Son of Dathomir" which explains that story, it's really good. After the end of that story Maul and his remaining Shadow Colective supporters went into hiding after (I believe) Almec lost control of Mandalore to the Death Watch loyalists*. After that Maul tried to take back control which lead to the Republic finally invading the planet, leading to the events in season 7. *I dare not say that this is what happened as I have not read up on events in this period, but that is my speculation
The droids deserved better more than anyone else. Droids in Star Wars are meant to be an oppressed class. Droids are bought and sold as slaves, they are routinely mind wiped as to not have any free will, and are made to do the dangerous and menial work that organics can’t or don’t want to do. At least some of the clones were repurposed into the stormtroopers. Meanwhile the vast majority of battle droids were completely shut down. What few remained fought in criminal gangs, separatist holdouts, or struggled to find stable jobs. I think L3-37 was right at the end of the day, she just went around it in a very radical manner.
They should extend the Clone Wars by 2 years in between Attack of the Clones and the Clone Wars movie to give Anakin time to mature and show the Separatists gaining ground.
But that would be a lie, since the Separatist never did gain ground. They spent the entire war being pushed into the Outer Rim territories. By Episode 3, all of their remaining worlds are trapped under siege by Republic forces. The Battle of Coruscant was a last ditch attempt to force the Republic to break those sieges in order to defend its capital. The war was not an equal fight. The Republic had a far larger population (which means more taxes), economy, and war industry than the CIS. The only reason it lasted even three years is that Palpatine threw them a bone every once in a while by giving them intel that allowed them to catch the Republic off guard.
@@davidordaz5251 wrote a 13 page research paper on language usage throughout the star wars galaxy for my Rhetorical Writing class. Everything's relevant if your smart enough my friend!
Wow This Video was Amazing!!! Thank You for making such a detailed explanation of The Clone Wars! It's crazy to think that everything that happened during The Clone Wars was all just so that Palpatine could rise to power. All of The Epic, Incredible Battles all led to such a heartbreaking ending for The Jedi and The Clones. The Clone Wars will always be My Favorite Show and Era in Star Wars History and I just Love It So Much!!! FORRRRRR THE REPUBLIC!!!!!!
I love the clone wars but we need a old republic show with clone wars style animation we seen too much of it honestly still love it just would be a breath of fresh air to see them go back to that era in show form
@@red-hot No, what's embarrassing is you sucking off the mouse and guarding any garbage modern SW keeps spewing out. Making a couple comments is parading around kid.
Remember that live action show that was cancelled that was supposed to center around the Old republic but to be honest im glad it was cancelled because it was written and directed by the same dumbasses who ruined game of thrones
Of these ideas which one do you find the most interested in: - *"Knights of the Old Republic"* animated series adaptation of the Dark Horse comic series (Two 24 Ep. seasons and a movie) - *"Lost Tales of the Jedi":* animated series that explores the vague events the Jedi Order participated in long before Tales of the Jedi. It goes over the first few years of the dark jedi reign of the Sith people, explain what led up to the tragic and devastating conclusion of the 3rd Great Schism, and a brand new story since there's more than enough room to fit one. (One season, Twenty 22 min episodes, and 5 story arcs) [original idea] - *"Star Wars: War of Peace":* a live action series that focuses on a Pantoran turncoat amongst the terrifying theocratic government that is now The Pius Dea Republic. The ship engineer seeks to do what he can against the Pius Dea Republic with rebel cells across the stars as another bloody holy crusade is being put into the works by the Supreme Chancellor. And since this era is dark in general, all the efforts done to save several "primitive" alien species defying the Pius Dea leads to their unfortunate genocide. Maybe give some hope at the very end in the credits with the MC's great grandson being the one to design the computer virus that finishes off the Pius Dea navy in the future. (One season and Thirteen 45 min episodes) [original idea] - *"Star Wars: Empire's Reign":* a "mature" live action or animated anthology series that follows the strange, terrible, and mediocre life of enslaved beings across the vast expanse of the Infinite Empire. The short stories eventually conclude with an inside perspective of the Rakatan civilization fall and just what precautions they took to salvage their dying empire. All the characters we've been introduced to participate in a way to drive the Rakata off their homeworld and the worlds of other conquered species. (One season, Twelve 45 minute episodes) [original idea] Now this is a whole lotta coulda been conjured up by my nerdy mind. I would've typed far more but I realized this was suppose to be a simple reply and half of this comment section isn't going to read a fraction of what I've typed...
Did they change Grevious' history? I don't ever remember him willingly becoming a cyborg, and he was actually supposed to despise his cyborg existence, but his hatred for the Jedi was what made him decide to continue living.
Bruh, no mention of plagueis? If not for him, Sidious would have never even been created, not to mention that probably 60% of the planning and prepping for the clone wars was done by plagueis. Palpatine piggy backed off him and then killed him the moment he was confident he could continue on his own
I had to watch this video just because of the stunning thumbnail depicting Anakin and Obi-Wan in real life as Hayden and Ewan wearing Clone Wars battle armour!!! I really wish they would do something from The Clone Wars in live action! The Jedi armour outfits looked much more cooler to me than the 80s robes!
14:20 there is a plot hole in this though, even if the prime Jango Fett DNA is stolen, the Camanoans could use Omega from the bad batch to simply make more Jango Fett clones since she is an unmodified clone, they could even use Boba Fett. Obviously Omega was not created as a character when the clone wars was being made, but still her existence brings a plot hole to this episode.
A Legends video of the same timeline would have one and a half hours for sure. Shows how much is getting lost during these dark time brought by Disney.
Something I think is interesting to note about Ryloth in the Clone Wars: The people hated both the Republic and CIS, because they knew both of them only cared about Ryloth's strategic value, not them.
I’d like to have a moment of l silence for a badass but forgotten Clone Wars character from Legends. Sevrance Tann. Dooku’s first apprentice after the Battle of Geonosis before Ventress.
The Empire lasting only 25 years is quite silly to me as realistically it would take longer for a true rebellion to form against it and the memory of the Jedi would still be alive regardless of the propaganda. In the original movies the Empire feels like it had been around for far longer than that. But since we must squeeze their entire history in the time between Luke's birth and his beginning as a Jedi at the age of 19 the Empire as we see it in the originals just has to fit between this narrow sliver of time.
Not that hard to imagine. Think of the US, basically everything taught in US schools is blatant propaganda. Most people grew up in Cold War USA. They know no better. Because the US was literally nothing special of a country until after WW2, because everyone else had bombed each other to dust. The US only became powerful in the 50s, yet they teach it like they’ve been the saviour of earth for all mankind. Even in 1776, the US really did nothing for its own independence. The US has France and Spain to thank for their liberation, hence that big french statue in NYC that is literally a STATUE OF YOUR LIBERTY.. without France, USA would still be British. Without China in WW2, USA would now be Japanese. Japan had conquered basically all of east Asia at that point. They were far more formidable than the US teaches. As well as the fact China UK and Russia were far more instrumental in winning WW2 than the US was. The us is literally considered a support nation in the war..
5:05 Rather a pyrrhic victory don't you think? They lost over half of their Jedi knights for one Jedi Knight, a padawan that would later become one of the most vicious Sith Lords ever and would have a huge role in wiping out the entire Jedi order, and a senator that no one listened to anyway.
Much better than the clone wars chapter that i read online of the ca. 2002 edition of the Essential Chronology. They just called it "the beginning of the end," did not even talk about the events of the '02 Clone Wars cartoon made by Tartakovsky, and just led me straight to the chapter of the Galactic Civil war, as if it was the 2000 edition with only the Battle of Naboo discovered in its timeline.
I still can’t get behind the idea that a galactic war lasted less than a teen going through high school. A war that large should have lasted at least 10 years
3:10 I thought the count shot him down and blamed the jedi and that’s why the general hates the jedi and he got cybernetics because he was heavily damaged
They need to release the lost seasons showing everything from the unfinished episodes of season 7 to the comics like mauls escape and several other arcs that were cut
22:52 Can anybody tell me, where this information comes from? Is it from a book or from a series? Or was this just briefly mentioned somewhere? Thanks :-)
Grievous didn’t volunteer for augmentation. His culture were a proud warrior race, and after seeing that he already hated the Republic, Dooku stirred events that got him blown up, blamed it on the republic, and turned him into Separatist Robo-Cop.
@@spacereaper49 His current backstory is a mixture of the old legends and what we see in The Clone Wars, which BTW, means that Disney wasn't the one that made the original story _partially_ invalid, George Lucas did.
@@davidhong1934 By decree of George Lucas, you mean, since The Clone War episode _Lair of Grievous_ was what removed parts of that story from canon. That episode came out long before the Disney take over.
The best scene in the post-War time (Bad Batch episode with Cody and Crosshair) is the one where an early Imperial governor speaking to the leader of a former Separatist world. You can see how characters were affected by the grand events they never got to see.

@@skylanderlego4163 I think what he's saying is he'd like to see a legends version of this video. Like what did legends clone wars look like.
Thank you so much for this video and the prequels/clone wars are one of my favorite era of star wars
I’d love to see a legends timeline of the Clone Wars
Yes! I wanna see the battle of Jabiim!
This has similar vibes to "shush, he's explaining the FNaF" lore, but with a far more comprehensive and well-docunented subject
It was insanely short yet changed the history of the galaxy forever.
The Clone Wars was the final part of the Sith’s Grand Plan. The whole plan to subvert and destroy The Republic took centuries to execute.
Cool. I'm glad this video mentioned the final fate of Ventress. She was one of my favorite new Star Wars characters who originated via "The Clone Wars" series. I had always wondered what became of her after she became a bounty hunter.
Just started watching, but already, I love timeline videos, thanks!
could you do one for legends? i’d love to hear the multimedia project narrated by you!
Oh, would love to see this.
I was not a fan of the prequels when they first came out and there are still issues I have with them (in my opinion we didn't even need most of the first movie and it's weird Anakin and Padme met when she looked like an adult and him a child)
However, the Clone Wars was great series and I have enjoyed seeing this world expanded upon. I appreciate movies 2 and 3 a lot more. I think Dave Filoni has a lot to do with it so kudos to him and his team.
This is a point I've thought about too. Episode 2 should have been Episode 1, but with elements from Ep 1 worked into it. I'm not saying a 6 hour movie, I'm saying take things like teenage Anakin, Darth Maul, Qui-Gonn Jinn, and work them into the general events of Ep 2. Maybe start the movie with a crisis on Naboo and end with the Clone Wars starting on Geonosis, then make the bulk of it the Jedi trying to stop the war from happening while the Sith work from the shadows to make sure that it does happen.
i think Episode 1 was essential to understanding how Palpatine initially gained power. if it started at Episode 2, he’d already be in power. Episode 1 was showing how he was able to sow the seeds *for* Episode 2. that’s what i think.
I like this video! I’d love to see a similar video for the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Rebellion. The period between the Battle Of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth doesn’t get enough play. I know it’s been covered in comics but I think it’s a period that should have gotten a series. Or a few series.
The best Star Wars channel by far. Love this content.
hmm I think the death of Mother Talzin, allowed Palpatine to go ahead with order 66. Mother Talzin and Maul were going to become a massive threat to his empire.
The Clone Wars is the best Star Wars ever made!
Agreed
facts
Pure fact
Yes
The 2003 version is. The 2008 version appeals to normies and casuals but spits in the face of veteran Star Wars fans.
Star wars the clone wars is one of the best tv series out there
Very tragic events indeed... sad how many tried to expose this damn puppet war like Fives but were killed... especially got chills when Maul tried to warn Ahsoka of the coming darkness and of Anakin... Ventress also became good... she and ObiWan sounded very fond of each other... sad after Satine, ObiWan didn't take a liking to her... poor clones... ObiWan and Anakin were such good friends of them...
In short, the sith was playing 5D chess while everyone else was playing Jenga
21:00
I'm pretty sure this part of Maul's story is after his downfall at Mandalore, not before
It is after his downfall to Sidious yes, but not the Republic invasion. TLM actually has a comic narrated video about "Son of Dathomir" which explains that story, it's really good.
After the end of that story Maul and his remaining Shadow Colective supporters went into hiding after (I believe) Almec lost control of Mandalore to the Death Watch loyalists*. After that Maul tried to take back control which lead to the Republic finally invading the planet, leading to the events in season 7.
*I dare not say that this is what happened as I have not read up on events in this period, but that is my speculation
This is so helpful thanks!
That was amazing. Thank u so much for this video.
The clones deserved better. Especially 99.
RIP 99
Lives on in the bad batch, clone force 99
The droids deserved better more than anyone else. Droids in Star Wars are meant to be an oppressed class. Droids are bought and sold as slaves, they are routinely mind wiped as to not have any free will, and are made to do the dangerous and menial work that organics can’t or don’t want to do. At least some of the clones were repurposed into the stormtroopers. Meanwhile the vast majority of battle droids were completely shut down. What few remained fought in criminal gangs, separatist holdouts, or struggled to find stable jobs. I think L3-37 was right at the end of the day, she just went around it in a very radical manner.
This shows why Palpatine is the best cinema villain after Darth Vader
Joker
Cinema villain? Plenty better
Hans landa

Honestly even thanos felt more intimidating than Vader or Palp in the OT
You did a wonderful job on the video you made you rock as always :)
They should extend the Clone Wars by 2 years in between Attack of the Clones and the Clone Wars movie to give Anakin time to mature and show the Separatists gaining ground.
Ikr!!
Anakin isn't supposed to be mature....kinda plays into his fall to the dark side
But that would be a lie, since the Separatist never did gain ground. They spent the entire war being pushed into the Outer Rim territories. By Episode 3, all of their remaining worlds are trapped under siege by Republic forces. The Battle of Coruscant was a last ditch attempt to force the Republic to break those sieges in order to defend its capital. The war was not an equal fight. The Republic had a far larger population (which means more taxes), economy, and war industry than the CIS. The only reason it lasted even three years is that Palpatine threw them a bone every once in a while by giving them intel that allowed them to catch the Republic off guard.
@@terpsmagerps3426 He goes from Episode II Anakin to Episode III Anakin in only 2 months and is somehow Knighted too.
@@DovahFett They made big gains in the beginning since the Republic only had 200,000 clone troopers.
This will help on my English essay I’m writing about the clone wars
If it’s for school don’t see how fantasy history would be relevant
@@davidordaz5251 if it's for English it probably has more to do with writing ability rather than historical accuracy
@@davidordaz5251 wrote a 13 page research paper on language usage throughout the star wars galaxy for my Rhetorical Writing class. Everything's relevant if your smart enough my friend!
Wow This Video was Amazing!!! Thank You for making such a detailed explanation of
The Clone Wars! It's crazy to think that everything that happened during The Clone Wars was all just so that Palpatine could rise to power. All of The Epic, Incredible Battles all led to such a heartbreaking ending for The Jedi and The Clones. The Clone Wars will always be My Favorite Show and Era in Star Wars History and I just Love It So Much!!! FORRRRRR THE REPUBLIC!!!!!!
I love the clone wars but we need a old republic show with clone wars style animation we seen too much of it honestly still love it just would be a breath of fresh air to see them go back to that era in show form
Absolutely not! They would ruin it. Like they do with everything else.
@@SkintSNIPER262 You're parading around every comment crying and spewing toxic garbage. It's embarassing.
@@red-hot No, what's embarrassing is you sucking off the mouse and guarding any garbage modern SW keeps spewing out. Making a couple comments is parading around kid.
Remember that live action show that was cancelled that was supposed to center around the Old republic but to be honest im glad it was cancelled because it was written and directed by the same dumbasses who ruined game of thrones
Of these ideas which one do you find the most interested in:
- *"Knights of the Old Republic"* animated series adaptation of the Dark Horse comic series (Two 24 Ep. seasons and a movie)
- *"Lost Tales of the Jedi":* animated series that explores the vague events the Jedi Order participated in long before Tales of the Jedi. It goes over the first few years of the dark jedi reign of the Sith people, explain what led up to the tragic and devastating conclusion of the 3rd Great Schism, and a brand new story since there's more than enough room to fit one. (One season, Twenty 22 min episodes, and 5 story arcs) [original idea]
- *"Star Wars: War of Peace":* a live action series that focuses on a Pantoran turncoat amongst the terrifying theocratic government that is now The Pius Dea Republic. The ship engineer seeks to do what he can against the Pius Dea Republic with rebel cells across the stars as another bloody holy crusade is being put into the works by the Supreme Chancellor. And since this era is dark in general, all the efforts done to save several "primitive" alien species defying the Pius Dea leads to their unfortunate genocide. Maybe give some hope at the very end in the credits with the MC's great grandson being the one to design the computer virus that finishes off the Pius Dea navy in the future. (One season and Thirteen 45 min episodes) [original idea]
- *"Star Wars: Empire's Reign":* a "mature" live action or animated anthology series that follows the strange, terrible, and mediocre life of enslaved beings across the vast expanse of the Infinite Empire. The short stories eventually conclude with an inside perspective of the Rakatan civilization fall and just what precautions they took to salvage their dying empire. All the characters we've been introduced to participate in a way to drive the Rakata off their homeworld and the worlds of other conquered species. (One season, Twelve 45 minute episodes) [original idea]
Now this is a whole lotta coulda been conjured up by my nerdy mind. I would've typed far more but I realized this was suppose to be a simple reply and half of this comment section isn't going to read a fraction of what I've typed...
25:08 Idk if it was ret-conned or anything but Ventriss is very much alive in The Bad Batch, which takes place during the Empire's reign
It would have been cool to see a flasback of anakin and obi wan in clone wars armor with asohka and Rex in the kenobi series
There's a lot of things they could have done to improve that series
I enjoyed the series, but was hoping for more Clone Wars era flashback scenes with Anakin and Obi-Wan than we got.
It’s what I was hoping for the most
It never happened 😭😢
The best series ever!!!
Hope a legends version of the full history of clone wars is made one day
Good job explaining the Clone Wars. I’ve watched the entire series 6 or 7 times and could not have explained it as well as you did here. Good stuff 👍
The whole plot by Palatine is the best plot in any fiction i've ever seen, and you can't change my mind. He played them like a harp from hell
Generation Tech also made an entire series talking about the Clone Wars timeline
This was a great recap video that includes the the TV series, Books/comics and other extended media
Did they change Grevious' history? I don't ever remember him willingly becoming a cyborg, and he was actually supposed to despise his cyborg existence, but his hatred for the Jedi was what made him decide to continue living.
S1 E10
Another reason why I ignore TCW
Originally he wanted to be a cyborg I’m pretty sure
Bruh, no mention of plagueis? If not for him, Sidious would have never even been created, not to mention that probably 60% of the planning and prepping for the clone wars was done by plagueis. Palpatine piggy backed off him and then killed him the moment he was confident he could continue on his own
I had to watch this video just because of the stunning thumbnail depicting Anakin and Obi-Wan in real life as Hayden and Ewan wearing Clone Wars battle armour!!! I really wish they would do something from The Clone Wars in live action! The Jedi armour outfits looked much more cooler to me than the 80s robes!
14:20 there is a plot hole in this though, even if the prime Jango Fett DNA is stolen, the Camanoans could use Omega from the bad batch to simply make more Jango Fett clones since she is an unmodified clone, they could even use Boba Fett.
Obviously Omega was not created as a character when the clone wars was being made, but still her existence brings a plot hole to this episode.
It’s Kaminoans
I'm pretty sure that they covered up this plothole by saying the DNA was going to be used for a biological weapon. I may be imagining that though.
I had a noise bleed yesterday
. I'm ok now through and I'm enjoying this video very much
A Legends video of the same timeline would have one and a half hours for sure. Shows how much is getting lost during these dark time brought by Disney.
Inded
"Dark Times"? No time's been brighter till yet.
A Yes, they got lost. Not that they indirectly canonized the Battle of Jabiim the last few days or anything.
This is so thorough! Amazing job.
I remember a time Grievous's origin story was sad he was blown up in a coup now its just maniacle I like it
Just came to say that is a bad ass thumbnail.
3:16 I think dooku might have made his ship crash and then he against his will became a cyborg
Amazing video
As much as I loved Star Wars The Clone Wars, I thought it was so cliché how the Republic won like every battle
well thats where the 2003 clone wars is better, in almost every single way lol
@@messer7450 I love that series so much. I watch it every few years
@@messer7450 2008 is better imo
@@messer7450No not at all
28:39 "How can you do this. This is outrageous, *IT'S UNFAIR!!!*
How can you be on the Council and not be a Master?"
Can you do a timeline of the Dark Times and the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and The Galactic Empire.
Something I think is interesting to note about Ryloth in the Clone Wars: The people hated both the Republic and CIS, because they knew both of them only cared about Ryloth's strategic value, not them.
It horrifies me how many planets in The Galaxy do not grow enough food for their own populations.
Like coruscant
Like earth
@@Burn-nf3fo We grow more than enough. It is the greed of food companies that causes people to starve.
This helped a lot since the first six seasons of the show had the various events wayyyy out of order
I’d like to have a moment of l silence for a badass but forgotten Clone Wars character from Legends.
Sevrance Tann. Dooku’s first apprentice after the Battle of Geonosis before Ventress.
This was amazing. Thank you
The Empire lasting only 25 years is quite silly to me as realistically it would take longer for a true rebellion to form against it and the memory of the Jedi would still be alive regardless of the propaganda. In the original movies the Empire feels like it had been around for far longer than that. But since we must squeeze their entire history in the time between Luke's birth and his beginning as a Jedi at the age of 19 the Empire as we see it in the originals just has to fit between this narrow sliver of time.
Not that hard to imagine. Think of the US, basically everything taught in US schools is blatant propaganda. Most people grew up in Cold War USA. They know no better. Because the US was literally nothing special of a country until after WW2, because everyone else had bombed each other to dust. The US only became powerful in the 50s, yet they teach it like they’ve been the saviour of earth for all mankind.
Even in 1776, the US really did nothing for its own independence. The US has France and Spain to thank for their liberation, hence that big french statue in NYC that is literally a STATUE OF YOUR LIBERTY.. without France, USA would still be British. Without China in WW2, USA would now be Japanese. Japan had conquered basically all of east Asia at that point. They were far more formidable than the US teaches. As well as the fact China UK and Russia were far more instrumental in winning WW2 than the US was. The us is literally considered a support nation in the war..

lore master:
time to save the day with fire videos without explanation.
I love the clone wars. It’s my favorite Star Wars era.
What an awesome video
This is the kind of history class that should be taught in school
5:05 Rather a pyrrhic victory don't you think? They lost over half of their Jedi knights for one Jedi Knight, a padawan that would later become one of the most vicious Sith Lords ever and would have a huge role in wiping out the entire Jedi order, and a senator that no one listened to anyway.
First like, comment, and view. Keep up the good work and stay safe as always.
cool stuff!
I love Star Wars lore and have loved Star Wars since 1983.
Much better than the clone wars chapter that i read online of the ca. 2002 edition of the Essential Chronology. They just called it "the beginning of the end," did not even talk about the events of the '02 Clone Wars cartoon made by Tartakovsky, and just led me straight to the chapter of the Galactic Civil war, as if it was the 2000 edition with only the Battle of Naboo discovered in its timeline.
I still can’t get behind the idea that a galactic war lasted less than a teen going through high school. A war that large should have lasted at least 10 years
Thanks this explains so much !
Everybody gangsta until Darth jar jar reveals himself and destroys the empire
Nice video, keep it up!
3:10 I thought the count shot him down and blamed the jedi and that’s why the general hates the jedi and he got cybernetics because he was heavily damaged
I bet he also hates the Jedi for supporting the xeno scum that wanted to enslave his species
They need to release the lost seasons showing everything from the unfinished episodes of season 7 to the comics like mauls escape and several other arcs that were cut
22:52 Can anybody tell me, where this information comes from? Is it from a book or from a series? Or was this just briefly mentioned somewhere? Thanks :-)
It's from the novel Thrawn: Alliances. But that story is mostly told in flashbacks. The frame story takes place during Rebels
Great video 👍
clone wars was such a good show
23:58 - 24:03 "Sometimes, things are just that important."
Grievous didn’t volunteer for augmentation. His culture were a proud warrior race, and after seeing that he already hated the Republic, Dooku stirred events that got him blown up, blamed it on the republic, and turned him into Separatist Robo-Cop.
That's the (better) legends version
@@spacereaper49
Which, by decree of Supreme Overlord Mickey, is no longer canon
That right Disney isn’t going to tell me what did and didn’t happen
@@spacereaper49 His current backstory is a mixture of the old legends and what we see in The Clone Wars, which BTW, means that Disney wasn't the one that made the original story _partially_ invalid, George Lucas did.
@@davidhong1934 By decree of George Lucas, you mean, since The Clone War episode _Lair of Grievous_ was what removed parts of that story from canon. That episode came out long before the Disney take over.
The best scene in the post-War time (Bad Batch episode with Cody and Crosshair) is the one where an early Imperial governor speaking to the leader of a former Separatist world. You can see how characters were affected by the grand events they never got to see.
