Not only was his fight against the 501st and 212th clones brutal by itself, but the fact that he gave them orders with the intent of sacrificing their lives and he tricked the 501st and the 212th into a firefight that killed Waxer by friendly fire was surprisingly brutal.

      I think so, but we do need to take into consideration that nobody Anakin knew had any knowledge on how to communicate with them, including himself. However it kind of gives perspective to the point the Mandalorian makes: nobody tried to reason with them in the first place.

    • @evanhaskel206
      @evanhaskel206 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think one thing to remember is that the Mandalorian occurs after AotC. As the book “Kenobi” revealed, Anakin’s slaughter of the Tusken camp had a profound effect on the sand people overall. They realized that the massacre was in connection to them abducting somebody, which causes them to almost completely cease attacks on human settlements. So the events of AotC may have played a part in the Tuskens being willing to trade.

    I knew Order 66 would be number 1. It’s been more than 15 years since that film came out (and 1 year since The Clone Wars ended) and yet it NEVER fails to turn me into a complete wreck with my eyes a nonstop waterfall. And like the narrator said, with the expansion of the stories in The Clone Wars, now knowing that the clones were programmed into being forced to kill their friends against their will, only makes it even more disturbing and heartbreaking.

I remember how gut wrenching that was for me. The only reason Star Wars Revenge of the Sith wasn't the second traumatizing Star Wars scene for me is because I was too young at the time. My parents wouldn't allow me to be so thoureghly scarred by such a sad movie. Which I am grateful for. I already had trouble getting utterly scared by Ocarina of Time, The Dark Crystal, and The Secret of Nihm. Didn't need more then that to be honest. I was like 7 or 8 at the time.
