Thanks, everyone for the MONSTROUS support. I'm working on part two as well as a full review for the cartoon The Clone Wars. I hope you all continue to support my videos and be sure to follow me on TWITTER @the_natertot Look forward to making more awesome videos and talking with you all! :)
Nater Tot Ima be honest my favourite piece of Star Wars content is easily the Clone wars, and my favourite show/movie is also you guessed it the clone wars. Never have I ever watched anything else like the clone wars weather it’s a movie or show.
I’m looking forward to part-2 of The Clone Wars video you are working on. I couldn’t agree more with you in this part-1 video. Ahsoka Tano is easily my favorite SW character (with Anakin and Luke battling for 2nd place). And, there’s a good reason for why Ahsoka is my favorite. My #1 complaint with Rey in the sequel trilogy is how her character development is sorely lacking when she is compared to Ahsoka Tano. Of course, this is only my opinion. But, I wish we would have seen more development of Rey throughout the sequel trilogy. Kylo Ren got better character development. Maybe someday we will see a similar approach as The Clone Wars took for a sequel trilogy animated series set prior to episode 9 so we can see the sequel trilogy characters develop more. The Clone Wars made me love the prequel trilogy on a whole new level (flaws and all). I hope to see something similar happen for the sequel trilogy (flaws and all).
@@nathanivey4855 Animated shows normally have more creativity and details aswell... laws of physics which are also easy to break... makes it look even better.
It's no coincidence that almost all of the best moments in Rebels revolved around plots or characters introduced in Clone Wars. Keep these coming please
Oh, without a doubt. They work beautifully in sync together. I think a lot of that goes to Filoni and the fact so much of the shows (both of them) were mapped out. I think this really helps. It's a wonder why Disney didn't use this formula. I definitely plan on making more. I'm hoping to have some sort of success with this video. As I've mentioned, this was extremely time consuming and I'm hoping it gains views to make it worth the time. I guess we will see in the coming days. Hopefully enough people share and support! Thanks for the compliment though! :)
Agreed. Rebels is a good show, especially for the universe, but oddly enough, for me, the best elements came from expanding on what Clone Wars had already created.
@@NaterTot Rebels had its moments. But it had a lot of flaws too. Honestly it mostly feels like a missed opportunity to me. I guess I was just wanting Rebels to be the 'Clone Wars' of the original trilogy, and that just isn't what rebels was or wanted to be.
"Do control your protege's insolence so I can concentrate." "Anakin!" "What?" "Control your insolence. The Count is concentrating." Funniest moment in all of Star Wars.
LazerTech I forgot the name, but it’s the episode where Dooku, Obi-Wan, and Anakin were captured by Hondo, and they had to “work together” to escape. It’s in Season One.
I haven’t seen it, but from what these people have described to me, I can say this. Girls cried during titanic, and boys cried during this scene. Never mind, it’s dumb.
So me and my brother are huge star wars fans, and a couple of days ago we looked at the wookiepedia, and you know whats funny? Ashoka's page is the fourth most visited page of all of that entire wiki. She is a good character all right
I have watched the series so many times I can't remember the exact number (I practically watch it, give it a few weeks and start it again) and I STILL CRY at the end of Ahsoka's trial (but according to wokeney, I am a toxic, sexists and racist white old man).
Every generation has “their Star Wars,” and I was the target demographic for the Clone Wars whenever it came out, and I am so thankful for that because Star Wars: The Clone Wars became my Star Wars. My dad was a big Star Wars fan as he grew up with the original trilogy. My older cousins grew up with the prequel trilogy, and now my younger cousin is growing up with the sequel trilogy and Rebels. Star Wars has broken generational barriers with its amazing stories, and allows my 52 year old dad to have a conversation with my 7 year old cousin because they’re both extremely passionate about the subject.
I was targeted toward rebels, which led me to end up watching The Clone Wars after the series ended in search of something somewhat similar, I have my nostalgia with both of them even though most people look down on rebels. I always remember watching the Rebel's recon episode recaps on TH-cam after watching an episode after it came out and seeing the teasers for the next episode. Probably some of my fondest memories in terms of Star Wars, and heck maybe even television in general. The sequels don't really give me the same feeling as those shows or the rest of the movies, almost sort of pretend it didn't happen and act like there was nothing else after ROTJ.
I grew up on the ot and prequels but for some reason I didn’t enjoy the clone wars tv show much as a kid now season 7 is on Disney + so i decided to see if the show was better than I remember watched the Darth Maul episodes and fell in love with the show
Nater Tot cool can’t wait. Also talk about the canceled episodes too. I was very pissed when Disney canceled the show. And cancels the live action show too.
Splooje Juice the Disney show is about the mandalorian . George show was going to take place during the dark times in between episode 3 and episode 4. It was going to answer questions like how did Lea remember her mom. It was going to be tied in with the clone wars, video games like 1313, force unleashed, the real EU. There was 50 scripts already made. The show was going to be like the Noir movies from the 1940’s. It was going to be a more talkative show than action show. It was going to be an hour long. I hear the Disney show is after episode 6. It’s an action show and it’s only 30 minutes.
Of course! I absolutely love this series. The cast. The crew. The ideas. The visuals. The storytelling. All of it is top tier. I really believe the amount of love and dedication to the lore feels akin to a book blown up on a TV screen. It was truly made with love.
Nater Tot It really is. When you talked about the metaphor of how Star Wars is a house it makes sense. However, the sequel trilogy is more like the old furniture in the basement you promise yourself to throw out someday.
LOL! That's a good one. I went back and forth with metaphors. I settled on that one as an excuse to have goofy pictures for a chance at a smile or at the very least...a smirk. I think with all the fan service, especially in Rise of Skywalker, the pictures on the wall definitely felt...fitting. I'm hoping this does well so I can spend time making more Clone Wars videos lol.
I'm not sure everyone would care for that. I could easily talk about this series for 10 parts though. Especially with me not really mentioning the clones, Darth Maul, Night Sisters, Pre Vizsla, Padme, Jar Jar, the exploration of Droids, the fact the droid army actually has a personality. This show is MASSIVE.
Me too, I could watch a review on every episode or arc but except for Hello Greedo no one does this and he keeps it very short and shallow. I get that I'm not blaming him but I'd love analyses of these😀
@@Benjamin-yd1lc how in the Prequels ist never stated that the clones have no emotions and why should anakin dont have an aprentice if anything he wouldnt Mention Ashoka in Revenge of the Sith because he cant deal with loss
It's this series that made me be more of a fan of the Prequel trilogy universe rather than the OG universe. And Ahsoka is probably one of my favorite Star Wars characters. I just wish I'd appreciated it more when it was on tv.
I'll admit, when I was younger I hated Ahsoka. I rewatched it when I was bit older and Jesus Christ I loved her, idk why I hated her before, but ever since then I genuinely wish there was more story on her. How she became a grey Jedi and stuff.
@@darthrevan454 Well, to be fair she kinda sucks in the first season, I found her boring and bratty. However from Season 2 onward, her character development kicks into overdrive, and she becomes so much more interesting, that I ultimately agree with Nater Tot that she might be the best character in the series. She's easily in my top 5 favorites in the entire SW universe.
I'm pretty sad he didn't include that in this video. The whole story of a unit, which was so bad that they nearly became clean up clones, becomming the best because of a janitor and eventually even detect the order 66-chip. It is genius.
The Humanity and Depth the clones were given was such an important thing to nail. The relationship's formed between the Jedi Generals and Their Battalions makes the Order 66 WAYYYY Sadder
"I would never let anyone hurt you, Ahsoka. Never." -Anakin Skywalker "I was beginning to believe I knew who you were behind that mask, but it's impossible. My master could never be as vile as you." "Anakin Skywalker was weak. I destroyed him." "Then I will avenge his death." "I won't leave you. Not this time." "Then you will die." -Ahsoka Tano and Darth Vader
Always thought it felt weird that the guy that once was galactic hero Anakin Skywalker would treat good innocent people and old friends with such little mercy. I feel as if, even considering what happened to Padme, there was a missing link between the two characters. Maybe it was just sorrow and time.
I never got into Clone Wars as a kid. And I'm actually glad I didn't, because now that I'm an adult I'm in the middle of season 1 and love looking forward to each new episode.
I think Revenge of the Sith really illustrates their friendship really well when they’re infiltrating Grievious’s ship. It was just like sibling banter, I loved it
You need to talk about the best part of the series: The Clones Themselves. Rex, Cody, Wolf, Domino Squad, Waxxer&Boil, every clone is a unique character with their respective arcs and motives. Dee Bradley Baker does a fantastic job giving each clone their personality.
With the context of the Clone Wars, the “This whole operation was your idea” seems a lot more like friendly banter than Anakin feeling like he’s been forced into doing something by Obi-Wan.
I started watching the clone wars after I beat Jedi Fallen Order. I thought the show was just a easy moneymaker for Lucasfilm and Disney. As I started watching after a slow start, this show really surprised me and it’s a phenomenal show!
What’s ironic is that this show is extremely good because filoni and his team had to rely on ambition and more creative stories because of the decreased budget back in the early 2010s
Wookie Commander what was amazing is how patient they were with Darth Mauls Story having it spread across the whole show and not just immediately overuse him as an easy money maker
I also feel that star wars does fair a lot better in an episodic telling of the story. Rather than movies. Especially since most of the movies are very divisive whereas the clone wars and the mandolorian are widely praise and hold very little arguments against it. Althogh rebels and the resistance do have problems mainly because of tone and it being more shifted towards a younger audience
The Clone Wars is Star Wars at its best is the most accurate statement in history. From the voice actors to the character development, the series is absolutely flawless.
@@bigstunna2049 I got something better: Live Action Clone Wars Trilogy with all our fav characters Hayden and Ewan as Anakin and Obi Wan, Ahsoka, Temeura Morrison as Rex and the 501st.... they could all sorts of tech to make him young like Michael Douglas in Antman etc.
The Clone Wars was something I only discovered just recently, and was pleasantly surprised. As far as fleshing out the friendship between Kenobi and Anakin, it does a great deal. Though when I had only seen the prequels, I had always believed their relationship was inherently complicated. Kenobi was simultaneously Jedi instructor, the only father figure Anakin ever knew, and best friend. In addition to their relationship getting off on very rocky ground. To be any one of those things, even under the best of circumstances, is difficult enough. So getting the closer look through Clone Wars has been very helpful, and it really smooths things out as they never were on the big screen.
That's fair. I think that's something Lucas sent up himself that he didn't always work out too well. Like you said, it was complicated but I don't think there was enough put on screen to show that relationship. This is also, like I mentioned, where CW is unfairly at benefit. Having 121 episodes (I believe it is) gives them far more time to develop that relationship. Now when I go back and watch the prequels, it holds up far better and I have a greater understanding of their relationship. I'm glad you finally found the show! It's one of my faves.
Nater Tot Foremost, thank you for the personal reply. That is always appreciated! I think you’re completely correct. In depicting the necessary character development for those two, there never was the screen time available in the films to do it any justice. In addition to having the sheer screen time afforded to Clone Wars developing Anakin’s and Kenobi’s evolving relationship, they did a few other things extremely well. The writers made it so that each of their Clone Wars depictions were strongly in character, and that they felt congruous with the films. Catching that tone and flavor, in a different medium no less, is like aiming at a moving target. Furthermore, they managed to make their relationship feel believable, relatable, and very human. Relatively speaking to the operatic drama inherent to all Star Wars, of course. That is no small accomplishment. Besides, Clone Wars - in so far as I’m concerned - gets a tremendous vote of confidence having Liam Neeson reprise his role through voice over. That all being said, you do fantastic work. You and HelloGreedo are my Star Wars go-to. Always thoughtful, measured, fair and with a clear appreciation for nuance. Keep doing what you do!
Paul, I always try to make everyone of my comments authentic and me. Engagement is huge and plays a big part into channel growth. It's also a big part of what I want this channel to be about. The celebration of ideas, stories, etc. That's why, for the most part, I try to stay relatively optimistic in my dissections (with the occasional joke here and there to break up the long paragraphs). As for as the HelloGreedo comparison goes...that means an absolute ton to me. I had hoped that he would see this video (including me even tagging him in this video) to get some constructive criticism from him and even pick his brain. The comparison alone, while completely unjustified (in my opinion) still means the world to me. These videos are time consuming and come with immeasurable amount of doubt. You never know when you could pick the wrong fight, piss off the wrong people or construct a video that nobody watches. I've done all three. I'd love to do this for a living, like HelloGreedo and those I've grown to really appreciate. All I can do is keep working hard and hope that work is seen. I hope you stick around, share my content where you feel appropriate and continue enjoying yourself! :)
Nater Tot I tell you, as a fellow creator - in my case podcasting - I know the process which you’re experiencing. Also as a writer/editor, I have reached out to do many an interview. One of the biggest things I have learned, including contacting those whom I personally admire, is to never be coy. While there are those who don’t respond for any number of reasons - including the message ending up accidentally in a spam box - you’d be surprised how many actually do respond. I believe HelloGreedo accepts messages via his channel’s Facebook page. Contact him directly, ask him to take a look when he has the chance, and if I’d be ok to pick his brain at some point. So long as you’re professional as well as concise, and he indeed sees the message, he will reply. I don’t believe his demeanor on camera is anything different than who he really is off screen - minus the bucket. Besides, it’s a big compliment being approached in that way. No doubt he spent his own time coming up and out of the TH-cam wilderness. Send it off, and see what happens. If it doesn’t happen, that’s ok too. If you’re doing good work, chances are you’ll cross paths at some point.
@@paulk.dicostanzo2279 I appreciate this thought, in-depth comment. I'm going to take your suggestion. I've actually done this twice now with two YTers I admire (Unfortunately, I feel a bit too undersized to reach out to some of the other ones I admire) but I could see HelloGreedo responding. I had hopes of some people bombarding his comments with references to me. Who knows? I'd love to hear some of his thoughts and what constructive, I could do better on.
"What they wanted in Rey, but never figured it out" Funny how they couldn't figure out the basics of writing a likeable character. Which in general, is stupidly easy to understand.
Well, to be fair, Ashoka DID NOT start out likable. She grew to be likable as they developed her character. The problem is that Rey essentially gets no character development between any of the sequels. She's just a scowly girl from the desert... and that's it.
Michael Nelson No, they wanted to _make_ us like Rey and that’s where they fucked up. She’s just a forced and uninteresting character. Sure Ahsoka was an annoying brat when she first appeared, but she was at least somewhat interesting. The first time I saw Rey I immediately understood why her parents would’ve left her on that god forsaken planet lol I pray they just retcon the entire sequel trilogy out of existence next year #FuckKathleenKennedy
Clone Wars does what the prequel trilogy could not. It provides so much depth and character development that it is easily one of my favorite storylines in the SW universe. It created and developed one of my favorite characters (and a huge fan favorite) Ashoka Tano as well as my favorite Clone, Captain Rex. This is a great series to come back to every few years and binge-watch the crap out of it. Another great review Nater!
The Clone Wars is literally where my love of Star Wars came from. I was born in 2000 but I still managed to watch the star wars movies in order of release, and while I enjoyed them it wasnt until I saw the clone wars that I truly fell in love with the franchise.
Last Rookie It felt like it was a continuation of what the prequels did fulfill, but I do agree with that to some degree (rhyme not intended), in that it did fulfill some ideas or other things that the PT did not. Or rather could not, due to time constraints for the films. Things such as Qui-Gon teaching Yoda about the ability to retain consciousness after death, further deepening the relationship between Skywalker and Kenobi and the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, more depth and character to the Clones and the attachment the audience felt towards them only to feel deep sadness when they are given the order to turn their blasters on their Jedi Generals, and so on.
Yes! Especially ROTS/Order 66. Showed us the human side of the Clone Troopers, the friendships between them, the friendship they had with the Jedi and their tragic stories. Gave Order 66 so much more depth and impact. The stories of Rex, Fives, Gregor etc etc does indeed improves the PT a lot! It’s TCW that made me appreciate the prequals so much more than prior to it!
Can easily second this. I've never sat through the entirety of one of the films, however, I'm currently rewatching Clone Wars for the third time in anticipation for the 7th season.
I started watching this series on cartoon network before I had ever seen the star wars movies. Years later when I finally watched them, I was completely shocked and heartbroken my favorite character anakin turned into darth vader. I had always associated them as separate people until I saw the movies.
This series was the shit bro, I really want a couple more seasons, I want to see the republic commandos and The 501st, Revenge of the sith, Maul vs Ahsoka, The Death Star's construction, and so much more Prequel content, ROTS is a billion times better and more satisfying after watching TCW
Nater Tot I think you’re trying to hard to push your narrative of prequels bad clone wars good. It’s clear in episode 3 that they have become close friends seen in their banter in the beginning and seen in obi wans struggle to face him. You could say that a lot of this was added by clone wars which I 100% agree with, it brought so much to the prequels but stand alone episode 3 still gives me chills every god damn time and that’s on George and film team not the clone wars tv series
@@maxchunder8098 not really trying to push any narrative. It's an opinion I appreciate you coming by and sharing yours though. I will work better to make my points more concise in future videos.
Nater Tot oy thanks mate to be honest I don’t even really know what a narrative is, I’m kinda stupid. overall enjoyed the video though and excited to see what else you put out.
@@maxchunder8098 I appreciate the comment back. I have no issue with anyone having objections or opinions different than mine. As long as you can get those opinions across without being rude, disrespectful or callous about it (this is mainly towards other people). I won't ever delete comments, but the point of this 'community' I'm building is to be accepting/opening to other ideas (films/tv/characters/etc). My opinion is not right and I won't ever treat it as such. I hope you continue to support my videos and feel comfortable to keep commenting! It means a lot
Me: *says the title of this video is a cursed opinion* Also me: *sitting in the living room in my jammies with some chicken nuggets watching clone wars like im 14 again*
For me its both Kotor games, clone wars and the original trilogy. The concepts were there for the prequels but the execution just wasn't done well. I understand why people like ROS, but i can only enjoy attack of the clones ironically and i can't even do that with menace. However i do understand that the prequels were released during some peoples youth and they obviously have nostalgia towards the movies and they can't dislike the movies because of that nostalgia.
They were apart for almost the entire movie. They had the stuff with dooku at the beginning and then they didn’t see each other until yoda tells obi wan to kill anakin
Hey everyone. I hope you all enjoy this review. I simply love this show and hope you all do as well. If not, give it a chance. It is a lot more than a 'kids' show and perfectly/wonderfully harnesses the Star Wars universe. As usual, be sure to let me know what you all think of the show and feel free to share it around! See ya guys!
I was born in 04 and grew up watching this show. I loved it when I was a kid and love it even more now. I would like a more videos on the series and would definitely watch them
Evan, you are lucky to grow up on such material and appreciate it as you do. I really appreciate your kind comments and yes, there will be more videos! :)
the fact that the clone wars is what originally got me to like star wars even tho I'd seen the movies too is saying something i'm sure some other Gen Z-ers can relate since the star wars movies were not particularly hype when we were younger and not many of us really appreciated the prequels or the OG trilogy (at least to me, they were just old movies my parents liked until it became cool to like it again). This show took over my life back then and it took it over when I rewatched it too. I wouldn't like Star Wars were it not for the Clone Wars and that terrifies me
My dad showed me the movies when I was very young (like at age 3) so I got into them very early on and I always ignored the clone wars back when it was on cartoon network because "it's a cartoon, it must be shit", but I just finished watching it and BOY WAS I WRONG
My dad loved star wars as a kid, so me and my brother grew up with the og 3, and watched the prequels when we turned 9, I always "liked" the movies while my brother was obsessed, but when I watched th clone wars, OH BOY. It was like I had awoken the true nerd inside me, we binged the entire show (or the season's that had come out at that point) in one summer, and me and my brother switched places. I was now the one obsessed eith star wars, and he gave up
5 is no doubt the best season. Its got Ahsoka leaving the jedi order. The rebellion of Onderaan (Saw and Steela Gurerra). And it starts off with Maul and savage with Hondos men.
I love how you tied it right into the scene of Ben describing Anakin to Luke. Great video and your editing is on point. Please make as many of these as you want
Nater Tot it’s funny you mentioned Ben describing Anakin to Luke since Dave Filoni had said on the 2008 movie’s commentary how he wanted to toy around with the telltale stuff in A New Hope and give it some reality (ie: Anakin piloting some lethargic spice freighter)
@@NaterTot For me about him describing Anakin as a great pilot sums up the pod race scene along with Obi-Wan's talk with Luke in Return. How Obi describes Anakin as already being a great pilot, pod race scene and his surprise in how strong the force was with Anakin in the mido-cholrian count scene and the Jedi room scene. I always love going back to Obi-Wan's scenes in the OT and how they set it up in the prequels.
I'm not sure kylo was better done at all. The potential was there, but unlike Anakin, we don't get to see really why Kylo is the way he is. His father was absent, sure. Anakin however sees his mother after she had been brutally killed. After leaving her as a slave as a kid, theres tremendous amounts of guilt we can infer from that. But kylo? ehhhh.
Tali De I can see that. And also want to correct any potential misreadings that I don’t like Anakin of Rey. I liked Rey and thought Anakin was far more intimidating than Kylo, and had a better fall. But I do think Kylo ends up a stronger character, but also think that’s largely due to drivers portrait
cwgodzilla I’m surprised anyone prefers Kylo over Anakin especially with all the character building in the Clone Wars. From the council outright deceiving him that Obi Wan died to “test” him to expelling his Padawan from the order there are so many reasons for Anakin to have anger against the council. Kylo’s motivations were cool but felt one dimensional to me.
Andrew the Rapper I can definitely see that, and I also thought Anakin was far, far more threatening than Kylo. I think it’s a difference in tastes, acting styles, and evolution over films and the animated series.
I think Anakin was a far better character than Kylo Ren. With Anakin's story, you can know exactly why he turns to the Dark side and exactly why he turned back to he Jedi. It's clear and defined and he fall has clear moral lessons about not succumbing to anger, hate, desperation, and fear. Kylo Ren on the other hand never had decisive characterization. You never know why he turned to the dark side, why he's mad at his dad, why he does anything. He kills his dad but can't kill his mom. He want power but also want to teach Rey for some reason that's never explained. He kills Snoke but still want to take over the galaxy. Kylo Ren is supposed to be conflicted but they never do a tell you who he's conflicted. Ultimately, Kylo Ren just does some good things and some bad things but there is no clarity in any of his actions. For some reason people think he's a great character but I think he's the exact opposite. The new writers just made him do whatever they wanted him to do and they said this was "conflict" within him. It's not conflict, it's sloppy character writing and it's inconsistent. You never know Kylo's motivation at any point in the movies except for maybe at the very end when he turns good. Anakin on the other always had very clear motivation and you understood every action he took. There is really nothing to Kylo Ren's character. No characterization, no clarity, and no motivation. Anakin is the better character, not Kylo Ren. (I think Adam Driver might have been a better actor though so people are tricked into thinking Kylo is a better character because of this.)
@@kermitthefrog4362 people are entitled to their own opinions, if He thinks SW:TCW The Series is the best Star Wars, who are you to say otherwise on his behalf? Everyone doesn't have to have the same opinion as you.
Daniel Robles how can a cartoon be better then empire strikes back? And I know it’s not “just a cartoon”, but saying it’s better than empire is overreaching it way too much.
@@kermitthefrog4362 this is all subjective to begin with, in your opinion(which is a very popular opinion, not to be confused with fact) Empire Strikes Back is by far the best. Not everyone shares that viewpoint and that's ok. My personal ranking puts Empire at the #5 spot of Star Wars content. This doesn't make me less important, ill-informed, or idiotic, it is purely my opinion, and has been shaped by my experiences and interests throughout my life.
The Clone Wars is one of the few animated series I've seen every episode atleast once end to end. And the best part was that I hadn't even realized it until I looked.
I didn't see it until after, but I still loved Revenge of the Sith. It was the first Star Wars movie that I ever saw premiere that was actually good. It felt like the story that George Lucas wanted to tell all along regarding the prequels.
Well. He tries to show that the prequels don’t portray obi and anakin as friends and actually uses a scene where anakin cheekily compliments his master. A beautiful character moment. It’s where anakin insists that obi wan Came up with the plan. the TH-cam video heavily downplays this.
George, I'm working on it! Feel free to share it and give it an upvote. The more views, the more activity, the more inclined I am to go back to part 2!
The new trilogy is like a friend who becomes your roommate and is parasitizing off of you and slowly destroying the house, but you don't have the nerve to kick him out.
Rising Horizon Gaming why wouldn’t he sell his creation for money? That’s like scolding an artist for selling a painting or a a writer for selling a book. You seem like quite the hypocrite.
tbh The Force Awakens was a great set up for a new trilogy, but obviously TLJ "killed off" major plot devices too soon and for no good reason. Snoke, Luke, Phasma, Holdo even had potential. TROS was their attempt at cleaning the mess up. it wasn't a great attempt but it wasn't as awful as fans are treating it.
one time in some youtube comments i saw like a quote that said something like "clone wars is made by people that love star wars but hate the prequels" ( of course they probably dont actually HATE the prequels) and the more i think about it the more true that quote becomes
Dr. Harmacist That’s probably the best part of the series. The fact that even though every clone is exactly the same, they manage to all have extremely different personalities.
Don't forget one of the best parts of clone wars, the clones! Also I feel like clones wars is star wars with an actual large scale war in it. Not one small faction vs a much larger oppressive faction. Just two factions that are almost equal in strength. Battling because of different ideals not just good and evil. You also get to explore the good and bad of both sides.
I love that they really bring you into the perspective of the clones. And I love the clones personalities they are all so funny. The episodes with just the clones are my favorite ones.
Mathieu Vaillancourt nope, she survived and was set up to continue as a character but rebels ended so unless they make a new season of rebels we won’t see much more of her.
I've been rewatching the entire series with my fiance (who's never seen it) in preparation for February. I forgot how much I love this show! I'd love to see more from you on this subject
Me: Every episode of The Clone Wars is great in its own way. There's something to like in every single one. Episode: Doesn't acknowledge that Ahsoka Tano exists. Me: This is the worst thing Star Wars has ever put out. This is a joke. Ahsoka is literally just one of my favorite characters of all time, and this was how I felt when I first started watching the series as a kid.
I agree 100% and I am 47 and have been a fan since 1977. So i am not one who grew up with these but saw them as an adult and i agree they are the best. Anakin and Ahsoka are my favorite characters in the entire saga.
Good to know some original fans are still watching Star Wars. I assumed most Boomers and Gen X dropped it and Star Wars became mostly a Millennial thing.
@@millabasset1710 Not quite true. My dad (68) loves Star Wars, and I went to see Rise of Skywalker with him yesterday. Though, he's of the generation where "Cartoons are jut for kids", so I don't imagine I'll ever be able to get him to watch Clone Wars :(
Thanks, everyone for the MONSTROUS support. I'm working on part two as well as a full review for the cartoon The Clone Wars. I hope you all continue to support my videos and be sure to follow me on TWITTER @the_natertot Look forward to making more awesome videos and talking with you all! :)
Nater Tot Ima be honest my favourite piece of Star Wars content is easily the Clone wars, and my favourite show/movie is also you guessed it the clone wars.
Never have I ever watched anything else like the clone wars weather it’s a movie or show.
hey man you should mention subscribing more cause I totally forgot; tell you said something. My bad.
I’m looking forward to part-2 of The Clone Wars video you are working on. I couldn’t agree more with you in this part-1 video. Ahsoka Tano is easily my favorite SW character (with Anakin and Luke battling for 2nd place). And, there’s a good reason for why Ahsoka is my favorite. My #1 complaint with Rey in the sequel trilogy is how her character development is sorely lacking when she is compared to Ahsoka Tano. Of course, this is only my opinion. But, I wish we would have seen more development of Rey throughout the sequel trilogy. Kylo Ren got better character development. Maybe someday we will see a similar approach as The Clone Wars took for a sequel trilogy animated series set prior to episode 9 so we can see the sequel trilogy characters develop more. The Clone Wars made me love the prequel trilogy on a whole new level (flaws and all). I hope to see something similar happen for the sequel trilogy (flaws and all).
Just for this I subscribed

Animated shows normally have more creativity and details aswell... laws of physics which are also easy to break... makes it look even better.
Credit to the guy voicing every. single. clone.
and making them all feel like different characters
Every time I watch an episode focusing on the clones, I think about how much overtime he must've been clocking
Dee Bradley Baker. I've met him, he's a nice guy.
His name is Dee Bradley Baker, he voices a lot of characters in shows and games. He has a very recognizable voice
Dee Bradley Baker. Not only every clone, but almost every voice you know. Including Perry the Platypus
It's no coincidence that almost all of the best moments in Rebels revolved around plots or characters introduced in Clone Wars. Keep these coming please
Oh, without a doubt. They work beautifully in sync together. I think a lot of that goes to Filoni and the fact so much of the shows (both of them) were mapped out. I think this really helps. It's a wonder why Disney didn't use this formula.
I definitely plan on making more. I'm hoping to have some sort of success with this video. As I've mentioned, this was extremely time consuming and I'm hoping it gains views to make it worth the time. I guess we will see in the coming days. Hopefully enough people share and support! Thanks for the compliment though! :)
That being said Rebels was still a good sequel👍
Agreed. Rebels is a good show, especially for the universe, but oddly enough, for me, the best elements came from expanding on what Clone Wars had already created.
Honestly having clone wars replaced with rebels was a fucking joke as it was basically all kiddie shit bar Darth maul and the clones
@@NaterTot Rebels had its moments. But it had a lot of flaws too. Honestly it mostly feels like a missed opportunity to me. I guess I was just wanting Rebels to be the 'Clone Wars' of the original trilogy, and that just isn't what rebels was or wanted to be.

"Anakin!"
"What?"
"Control your insolence. The Count is concentrating."
Funniest moment in all of Star Wars.

Girls cried during titanic, and boys cried during this scene. Never mind, it’s dumb.

Nator Tot: Ahsoka is the best charector in star wars.
Me: I see you are a man of culture.
Pinky out, my friend ;)
Sips on a glass of vine. I hope your channel grow big.
Fact right there
She’s not even a thing in the real clone wars
Yes.
"I put it up there with Batman the animated series and Avatar the last airbender"
I see you're a man of culture as well
Dave Filoni had a hand in Avatar as well
I went from being a little annoyed every time Ahsoka talked to almost crying when she left the order. Dave Filoni did an amazing job.
Almost?
So me and my brother are huge star wars fans, and a couple of days ago we looked at the wookiepedia, and you know whats funny? Ashoka's page is the fourth most visited page of all of that entire wiki. She is a good character all right
This is especially very noticeable for major audience of TV show. Ahsoka grew up with us.
I’m not a big fan of Ashoka but she’s likable ig.
I have watched the series so many times I can't remember the exact number (I practically watch it, give it a few weeks and start it again) and I STILL CRY at the end of Ahsoka's trial (but according to wokeney, I am a toxic, sexists and racist white old man).
Every generation has “their Star Wars,” and I was the target demographic for the Clone Wars whenever it came out, and I am so thankful for that because Star Wars: The Clone Wars became my Star Wars. My dad was a big Star Wars fan as he grew up with the original trilogy. My older cousins grew up with the prequel trilogy, and now my younger cousin is growing up with the sequel trilogy and Rebels. Star Wars has broken generational barriers with its amazing stories, and allows my 52 year old dad to have a conversation with my 7 year old cousin because they’re both extremely passionate about the subject.
I was targeted toward rebels, which led me to end up watching The Clone Wars after the series ended in search of something somewhat similar, I have my nostalgia with both of them even though most people look down on rebels. I always remember watching the Rebel's recon episode recaps on TH-cam after watching an episode after it came out and seeing the teasers for the next episode. Probably some of my fondest memories in terms of Star Wars, and heck maybe even television in general. The sequels don't really give me the same feeling as those shows or the rest of the movies, almost sort of pretend it didn't happen and act like there was nothing else after ROTJ.
I grew up on the ot and prequels but for some reason I didn’t enjoy the clone wars tv show much as a kid now season 7 is on Disney + so i decided to see if the show was better than I remember watched the Darth Maul episodes and fell in love with the show
Moses Gutierrez glad you corrected your mistake wouldn’t want to have to use the high ground
@Moses Gutierrez his 7 yr old cousin doesn't think of you at all
@Moses Gutierrez The prequels were worse though
Also George wanted to make a tv show that was an hour long about the dark times, the crime, bounty hunters, in the underworld.
This is something I was going to tap into in my part two!
Nater Tot cool can’t wait. Also talk about the canceled episodes too. I was very pissed when Disney canceled the show. And cancels the live action show too.
This is the way
Guess his dream came true
Splooje Juice the Disney show is about the mandalorian . George show was going to take place during the dark times in between episode 3 and episode 4. It was going to answer questions like how did Lea remember her mom. It was going to be tied in with the clone wars, video games like 1313, force unleashed, the real EU. There was 50 scripts already made. The show was going to be like the Noir movies from the 1940’s. It was going to be a more talkative show than action show. It was going to be an hour long.
I hear the Disney show is after episode 6. It’s an action show and it’s only 30 minutes.
I love it when people appreciate this series. It truly is amazing.
Of course! I absolutely love this series. The cast. The crew. The ideas. The visuals. The storytelling. All of it is top tier. I really believe the amount of love and dedication to the lore feels akin to a book blown up on a TV screen. It was truly made with love.
Nater Tot It really is. When you talked about the metaphor of how Star Wars is a house it makes sense. However, the sequel trilogy is more like the old furniture in the basement you promise yourself to throw out someday.
LOL! That's a good one. I went back and forth with metaphors. I settled on that one as an excuse to have goofy pictures for a chance at a smile or at the very least...a smirk. I think with all the fan service, especially in Rise of Skywalker, the pictures on the wall definitely felt...fitting. I'm hoping this does well so I can spend time making more Clone Wars videos lol.
Yeah it’s good to know that more people love this series as much as I do :)
@Neil Brown have you even watched the clone wars?
Obi-Wan: he was a good friend
Also Obi wan: **cuts off legs of Anakin**
Sometimes you got to cut your friend's leg off
Emperor Palpatine bruh that whole segment had me crying of laughter
“See now that’s some bullshit”
If you were given $1,000,000 to cut your friends legs off, would you do it?

“Do we take prisoners? I don’t” this series was one of the best parts of my childhood
welp not so much of a show for children XD ^^
@@RF-jl3qb lol I grew up on it when it was first airing on CN, I remember the first episode
I have watched this over 100 times and was my favorite tv show as a child
Facts bruh
take as long as you like
make it 10 parts if you must just dont stop
I'm not sure everyone would care for that. I could easily talk about this series for 10 parts though. Especially with me not really mentioning the clones, Darth Maul, Night Sisters, Pre Vizsla, Padme, Jar Jar, the exploration of Droids, the fact the droid army actually has a personality. This show is MASSIVE.
@@NaterTot I'm game.
@@GamesTech101 I'll have to start writing up ideas then! I hope this video takes off and provides some extra motivation.
Nater Tot, please do as many vids as you can, Clone Wars is amazing, anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.
@@NaterTot well, im not everyone, but i would certainly care very much for that as well^^. so you have two garantuied viewers already^^
I could watch a million videos on the Clone Wars!!! Such a great series
Thank you! :)
Me too, I could watch a review on every episode or arc but except for Hello Greedo no one does this and he keeps it very short and shallow. I get that I'm not blaming him but I'd love analyses of these😀
Its funny how the clone wars makes the prequels better and the sequels worse.
YES.
@Wrong Think true but when you put Rey next to Ashoka, her lack of character becomes undeniable
@Wrong Think me to
No, if anything, it contradicts the prequels, from what the force is, to Anakin having an apprentice and the clones possessing emotions.
@@Benjamin-yd1lc how in the Prequels ist never stated that the clones have no emotions and why should anakin dont have an aprentice if anything he wouldnt Mention Ashoka in Revenge of the Sith because he cant deal with loss
It's this series that made me be more of a fan of the Prequel trilogy universe rather than the OG universe. And Ahsoka is probably one of my favorite Star Wars characters. I just wish I'd appreciated it more when it was on tv.
No worries! You can appreciate it plenty now! :)
I'll admit, when I was younger I hated Ahsoka. I rewatched it when I was bit older and Jesus Christ I loved her, idk why I hated her before, but ever since then I genuinely wish there was more story on her. How she became a grey Jedi and stuff.
The Fan Without a Face so truuueee, I feel more chills when I watch prequel content all because of the clone wars🙃
Yes this is Star WARS! This is an actual full galactic war that lasts years not some tiny battle like in every movie that lasts a few hours
@@darthrevan454 Well, to be fair she kinda sucks in the first season, I found her boring and bratty. However from Season 2 onward, her character development kicks into overdrive, and she becomes so much more interesting, that I ultimately agree with Nater Tot that she might be the best character in the series. She's easily in my top 5 favorites in the entire SW universe.
Can’t forget that the clones themselves were also really great in this show
I'm pretty sad he didn't include that in this video. The whole story of a unit, which was so bad that they nearly became clean up clones, becomming the best because of a janitor and eventually even detect the order 66-chip. It is genius.
Rip that one clone that decided to punch the droid
The Humanity and Depth the clones were given was such an important thing to nail. The relationship's formed between the Jedi Generals and Their Battalions makes the Order 66 WAYYYY Sadder
Connor Jones agreed
"I would never let anyone hurt you, Ahsoka. Never."

"I was beginning to believe I knew who you were behind that mask, but it's impossible. My master could never be as vile as you."

"Then you will die."

This sense is better than the entire sequel trilogy
Always thought it felt weird that the guy that once was galactic hero Anakin Skywalker would treat good innocent people and old friends with such little mercy. I feel as if, even considering what happened to Padme, there was a missing link between the two characters.
Maybe it was just sorrow and time.
I respect the low key shade thrown at the Disney trilogy.

The clone wars really put the "war" in star wars.
I never got into Clone Wars as a kid. And I'm actually glad I didn't, because now that I'm an adult I'm in the middle of season 1 and love looking forward to each new episode.
Anekhmaho true. But it has its moments. The Malevolence arc, Rookies, Dooku captured and the Battle of Ryloth.
@Tom Ffrench Tried the movie dropped it, season one dropped it. got to the mandalore plot marathoned till season 7.
Me too g
@@ankhmahor7211 well I do so I got lucky yassssss
I think Revenge of the Sith really illustrates their friendship really well when they’re infiltrating Grievious’s ship. It was just like sibling banter, I loved it
You need to talk about the best part of the series:
The Clones Themselves.
Rex, Cody, Wolf, Domino Squad, Waxxer&Boil, every clone is a unique character with their respective arcs and motives. Dee Bradley Baker does a fantastic job giving each clone their personality.
@Kyle Martin Echo is part of the Domino squad you mongoloid.
i will never get enough of people talking about clone wars, its so good and deserves more attention
With the context of the Clone Wars, the “This whole operation was your idea” seems a lot more like friendly banter than Anakin feeling like he’s been forced into doing something by Obi-Wan.
This is fair. I believe that was the intention but the line was delivered a bit wrong.
Nater Tot yeah, it really was. One of the faults of the prequels occasional poor writing.
@@yoshikagekira4471 "occasional" poor writing. Tbh in the prequels it was a constant
Do you want to see my hands 😳😳
DocDoesdestiny heck yeah brother 😳😳😳
I started watching the clone wars after I beat Jedi Fallen Order. I thought the show was just a easy moneymaker for Lucasfilm and Disney. As I started watching after a slow start, this show really surprised me and it’s a phenomenal show!
What’s ironic is that this show is extremely good because filoni and his team had to rely on ambition and more creative stories because of the decreased budget back in the early 2010s
Wookie Commander what was amazing is how patient they were with Darth Mauls Story having it spread across the whole show and not just immediately overuse him as an easy money maker
It was made by a pretty selfish man
The Clone Wars was not made by Disney, except the last season!
@@KrissFliss so it was made by Disney
Vader: When I met you I was but the learner. Now, I am the master.
Obi Wan: Only a master, at getting caught
That would have been an epic line, that would have taken decades to make sense. Long game.
very funny
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

The Clone Wars proved that the problem with the prequels was Lucas had so much he wanted to say, but didn't know how to cram it into three films.
This. That and he needed a team of talented people to translate his crap.
I also feel that star wars does fair a lot better in an episodic telling of the story. Rather than movies. Especially since most of the movies are very divisive whereas the clone wars and the mandolorian are widely praise and hold very little arguments against it. Althogh rebels and the resistance do have problems mainly because of tone and it being more shifted towards a younger audience
Star Wars is meant to be a show like game of thrones that way we can cover as much as possible naturally
Perfectly put my friend
@@legomaster123x is rebels still so kid like? It was in the first season, but also clone wars wars very child like in the beginning.
The Clone Wars is Star Wars at its best is the most accurate statement in history. From the voice actors to the character development, the series is absolutely flawless.
Agreed, George!
Hardly flawless. I could make a whole list of flaws this series has, but its one of my favorite pieces of Star Wars media DESPITE those flaws.
@Sir Handel This comment expresses my feelings exactly. I love all the Star Wars, and I've learned to except the flaws and enjoy them anyway

@@bigstunna2049 I got something better: Live Action Clone Wars Trilogy with all our fav characters Hayden and Ewan as Anakin and Obi Wan, Ahsoka, Temeura Morrison as Rex and the 501st.... they could all sorts of tech to make him young like Michael Douglas in Antman etc.
Bro agreeeed
The Clone Wars was something I only discovered just recently, and was pleasantly surprised. As far as fleshing out the friendship between Kenobi and Anakin, it does a great deal. Though when I had only seen the prequels, I had always believed their relationship was inherently complicated. Kenobi was simultaneously Jedi instructor, the only father figure Anakin ever knew, and best friend. In addition to their relationship getting off on very rocky ground. To be any one of those things, even under the best of circumstances, is difficult enough. So getting the closer look through Clone Wars has been very helpful, and it really smooths things out as they never were on the big screen.
That's fair. I think that's something Lucas sent up himself that he didn't always work out too well. Like you said, it was complicated but I don't think there was enough put on screen to show that relationship. This is also, like I mentioned, where CW is unfairly at benefit. Having 121 episodes (I believe it is) gives them far more time to develop that relationship. Now when I go back and watch the prequels, it holds up far better and I have a greater understanding of their relationship.
I'm glad you finally found the show! It's one of my faves.
Nater Tot Foremost, thank you for the personal reply. That is always appreciated!
I think you’re completely correct. In depicting the necessary character development for those two, there never was the screen time available in the films to do it any justice.
In addition to having the sheer screen time afforded to Clone Wars developing Anakin’s and Kenobi’s evolving relationship, they did a few other things extremely well. The writers made it so that each of their Clone Wars depictions were strongly in character, and that they felt congruous with the films. Catching that tone and flavor, in a different medium no less, is like aiming at a moving target. Furthermore, they managed to make their relationship feel believable, relatable, and very human. Relatively speaking to the operatic drama inherent to all Star Wars, of course. That is no small accomplishment. Besides, Clone Wars - in so far as I’m concerned - gets a tremendous vote of confidence having Liam Neeson reprise his role through voice over.
That all being said, you do fantastic work. You and HelloGreedo are my Star Wars go-to. Always thoughtful, measured, fair and with a clear appreciation for nuance. Keep doing what you do!
Paul, I always try to make everyone of my comments authentic and me. Engagement is huge and plays a big part into channel growth. It's also a big part of what I want this channel to be about. The celebration of ideas, stories, etc. That's why, for the most part, I try to stay relatively optimistic in my dissections (with the occasional joke here and there to break up the long paragraphs).
As for as the HelloGreedo comparison goes...that means an absolute ton to me. I had hoped that he would see this video (including me even tagging him in this video) to get some constructive criticism from him and even pick his brain. The comparison alone, while completely unjustified (in my opinion) still means the world to me. These videos are time consuming and come with immeasurable amount of doubt. You never know when you could pick the wrong fight, piss off the wrong people or construct a video that nobody watches. I've done all three. I'd love to do this for a living, like HelloGreedo and those I've grown to really appreciate. All I can do is keep working hard and hope that work is seen.
I hope you stick around, share my content where you feel appropriate and continue enjoying yourself! :)
Nater Tot I tell you, as a fellow creator - in my case podcasting - I know the process which you’re experiencing. Also as a writer/editor, I have reached out to do many an interview. One of the biggest things I have learned, including contacting those whom I personally admire, is to never be coy. While there are those who don’t respond for any number of reasons - including the message ending up accidentally in a spam box - you’d be surprised how many actually do respond. I believe HelloGreedo accepts messages via his channel’s Facebook page. Contact him directly, ask him to take a look when he has the chance, and if I’d be ok to pick his brain at some point. So long as you’re professional as well as concise, and he indeed sees the message, he will reply. I don’t believe his demeanor on camera is anything different than who he really is off screen - minus the bucket. Besides, it’s a big compliment being approached in that way. No doubt he spent his own time coming up and out of the TH-cam wilderness. Send it off, and see what happens. If it doesn’t happen, that’s ok too. If you’re doing good work, chances are you’ll cross paths at some point.
@@paulk.dicostanzo2279 I appreciate this thought, in-depth comment. I'm going to take your suggestion. I've actually done this twice now with two YTers I admire (Unfortunately, I feel a bit too undersized to reach out to some of the other ones I admire) but I could see HelloGreedo responding. I had hopes of some people bombarding his comments with references to me. Who knows? I'd love to hear some of his thoughts and what constructive, I could do better on.
"What they wanted in Rey, but never figured it out"
Funny how they couldn't figure out the basics of writing a likeable character. Which in general, is stupidly easy to understand.
Well, to be fair, Ashoka DID NOT start out likable. She grew to be likable as they developed her character. The problem is that Rey essentially gets no character development between any of the sequels. She's just a scowly girl from the desert... and that's it.
@@SRosenberg203 In terms of character development, Rey had fuckall ever since the first movie

Michael Nelson No, they wanted to _make_ us like Rey and that’s where they fucked up. She’s just a forced and uninteresting character.

@@TheInfamousTongaLoa yea, we all have different tastes so💁
Clone Wars does what the prequel trilogy could not. It provides so much depth and character development that it is easily one of my favorite storylines in the SW universe. It created and developed one of my favorite characters (and a huge fan favorite) Ashoka Tano as well as my favorite Clone, Captain Rex. This is a great series to come back to every few years and binge-watch the crap out of it. Another great review Nater!
Rephrase it to it shows what The prequels didn’t and you got it right.
I like the prequels for what they are, but the Clone Wars is really what I imagine when Luke says to Obi Wan "You fought in the Clone Wars?"
Ah yeah Ahsoka and Rex are awesome :)
I AM JAFO I _reeeaaally_ hate to be _that_ guy, but it’s *AHSOKA.* Not *ASHOKA.*
None of it was necessary
When I think of Star Wars I think of the clone wars. It goes in depth into the Star Wars world like the movies never could.
The Clone Wars is literally where my love of Star Wars came from. I was born in 2000 but I still managed to watch the star wars movies in order of release, and while I enjoyed them it wasnt until I saw the clone wars that I truly fell in love with the franchise.

The Clone Wars made the prequels good
No. They _perfected_ it.
@@skyguysreactions They filled in the potential the prequels did not fulfill.
Last Rookie It felt like it was a continuation of what the prequels did fulfill, but I do agree with that to some degree (rhyme not intended), in that it did fulfill some ideas or other things that the PT did not. Or rather could not, due to time constraints for the films. Things such as Qui-Gon teaching Yoda about the ability to retain consciousness after death, further deepening the relationship between Skywalker and Kenobi and the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker, more depth and character to the Clones and the attachment the audience felt towards them only to feel deep sadness when they are given the order to turn their blasters on their Jedi Generals, and so on.
The prequels were great, this show is excellency, is the epitome of what SW is, I mean, it's Star Wars perfection
Yes! Especially ROTS/Order 66. Showed us the human side of the Clone Troopers, the friendships between them, the friendship they had with the Jedi and their tragic stories. Gave Order 66 so much more depth and impact. The stories of Rex, Fives, Gregor etc etc does indeed improves the PT a lot! It’s TCW that made me appreciate the prequals so much more than prior to it!
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" will always remain as one of my favorite animated television series of all time.

Nater Tot I think you’re trying to hard to push your narrative of prequels bad clone wars good. It’s clear in episode 3 that they have become close friends seen in their banter in the beginning and seen in obi wans struggle to face him.

The prequels and the clone wars are the definition of Star Wars for me
Same!
Exactly.
Yessss
For me its both Kotor games, clone wars and the original trilogy. The concepts were there for the prequels but the execution just wasn't done well. I understand why people like ROS, but i can only enjoy attack of the clones ironically and i can't even do that with menace. However i do understand that the prequels were released during some peoples youth and they obviously have nostalgia towards the movies and they can't dislike the movies because of that nostalgia.
Minipoods the prequels were executed terribly, the originals are great, the new trilogy is good (except for last jedi)

He matured till episode 3, in AOTC he was in his late teenage years so his behavior was a little all over the place.
They were apart for almost the entire movie. They had the stuff with dooku at the beginning and then they didn’t see each other until yoda tells obi wan to kill anakin
@Sir Handel the best thing AotC did was set up TCW.
The sequel trilogy is the teenage kids who TP the beautiful house.
LOL
And Clone Wars is that one kid who comes over to help clean up
Hey everyone. I hope you all enjoy this review. I simply love this show and hope you all do as well. If not, give it a chance. It is a lot more than a 'kids' show and perfectly/wonderfully harnesses the Star Wars universe. As usual, be sure to let me know what you all think of the show and feel free to share it around! See ya guys!
Do as many parts as you need great vid man
This is great! plz do part 2 and more!
Kotor 2 is star wars at its best
Do part 2 pls
@@ramie4273 that's the plan!!!
I was born in 04 and grew up watching this show. I loved it when I was a kid and love it even more now. I would like a more videos on the series and would definitely watch them
Evan, you are lucky to grow up on such material and appreciate it as you do. I really appreciate your kind comments and yes, there will be more videos! :)
for me too that is why l love the prequels
Evan Gjerde same but I was 03
@@jadejavelin3400 welcome to the party then!
Same
the fact that the clone wars is what originally got me to like star wars even tho I'd seen the movies too is saying something
i'm sure some other Gen Z-ers can relate since the star wars movies were not particularly hype when we were younger and not many of us really appreciated the prequels or the OG trilogy (at least to me, they were just old movies my parents liked until it became cool to like it again). This show took over my life back then and it took it over when I rewatched it too. I wouldn't like Star Wars were it not for the Clone Wars and that terrifies me
My dad showed me the movies when I was very young (like at age 3) so I got into them very early on and I always ignored the clone wars back when it was on cartoon network because "it's a cartoon, it must be shit", but I just finished watching it and BOY WAS I WRONG
@@armature Ignorant af decision making but okay...
@@UnknownUser-gd3ls not for a 6 year old
My dad loved star wars as a kid, so me and my brother grew up with the og 3, and watched the prequels when we turned 9, I always "liked" the movies while my brother was obsessed, but when I watched th clone wars, OH BOY. It was like I had awoken the true nerd inside me, we binged the entire show (or the season's that had come out at that point) in one summer, and me and my brother switched places. I was now the one obsessed eith star wars, and he gave up
I'm in for multi-part breakdowns/reviews for each season of The Clone Wars.
That's a great idea. I'm definitely down for unique ways of approaching it.
5 is no doubt the best season. Its got Ahsoka leaving the jedi order. The rebellion of Onderaan (Saw and Steela Gurerra). And it starts off with Maul and savage with Hondos men.
*each episode
@@boggless2771 im so sad i downloaded all seasons off of reddit but season 5 has no audio
I couldn't agree more. Clone Wars is MASSIVELY underrated!
Clone war’s was great
Can’t wait for the last season
MateoSZN IT’S COMING THIS FEBRUARY!!!!!!
I don't even understand how they're planning on finishing everything into 12 episodes?? what is the goal for the season?
pjomono I don’t know but this is probably supposed to be the « fall » of Anakin
Oh it was great
I love how you tied it right into the scene of Ben describing Anakin to Luke. Great video and your editing is on point. Please make as many of these as you want
Every time I watch the show I think about that scene. That scene alone really builds the show and the prequels.
Nater Tot it’s funny you mentioned Ben describing Anakin to Luke since Dave Filoni had said on the 2008 movie’s commentary how he wanted to toy around with the telltale stuff in A New Hope and give it some reality (ie: Anakin piloting some lethargic spice freighter)
determinator 94 What Luke’s uncle said was true... from a certain point of view. 🙃
@@NaterTot For me about him describing Anakin as a great pilot sums up the pod race scene along with Obi-Wan's talk with Luke in Return.
How Obi describes Anakin as already being a great pilot, pod race scene and his surprise in how strong the force was with Anakin in the mido-cholrian count scene and the Jedi room scene.
I always love going back to Obi-Wan's scenes in the OT and how they set it up in the prequels.
The clones themselves and there personalities were my favorite part of the show
“Ahsoka is who Rey was trying to be.”
Yep. Cements the issues with her in a nutshell. If Kylo was a better dome Anakin, Ahsoka is a better done Rey.
I'm not sure kylo was better done at all. The potential was there, but unlike Anakin, we don't get to see really why Kylo is the way he is. His father was absent, sure. Anakin however sees his mother after she had been brutally killed. After leaving her as a slave as a kid, theres tremendous amounts of guilt we can infer from that. But kylo? ehhhh.
Tali De I can see that. And also want to correct any potential misreadings that I don’t like Anakin of Rey. I liked Rey and thought Anakin was far more intimidating than Kylo, and had a better fall. But I do think Kylo ends up a stronger character, but also think that’s largely due to drivers portrait
cwgodzilla I’m surprised anyone prefers Kylo over Anakin especially with all the character building in the Clone Wars. From the council outright deceiving him that Obi Wan died to “test” him to expelling his Padawan from the order there are so many reasons for Anakin to have anger against the council. Kylo’s motivations were cool but felt one dimensional to me.
Andrew the Rapper I can definitely see that, and I also thought Anakin was far, far more threatening than Kylo. I think it’s a difference in tastes, acting styles, and evolution over films and the animated series.
I think Anakin was a far better character than Kylo Ren. With Anakin's story, you can know exactly why he turns to the Dark side and exactly why he turned back to he Jedi. It's clear and defined and he fall has clear moral lessons about not succumbing to anger, hate, desperation, and fear.
Kylo Ren on the other hand never had decisive characterization. You never know why he turned to the dark side, why he's mad at his dad, why he does anything. He kills his dad but can't kill his mom. He want power but also want to teach Rey for some reason that's never explained. He kills Snoke but still want to take over the galaxy. Kylo Ren is supposed to be conflicted but they never do a tell you who he's conflicted.
Ultimately, Kylo Ren just does some good things and some bad things but there is no clarity in any of his actions. For some reason people think he's a great character but I think he's the exact opposite. The new writers just made him do whatever they wanted him to do and they said this was "conflict" within him. It's not conflict, it's sloppy character writing and it's inconsistent.
You never know Kylo's motivation at any point in the movies except for maybe at the very end when he turns good. Anakin on the other always had very clear motivation and you understood every action he took. There is really nothing to Kylo Ren's character. No characterization, no clarity, and no motivation. Anakin is the better character, not Kylo Ren.
(I think Adam Driver might have been a better actor though so people are tricked into thinking Kylo is a better character because of this.)
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is my favourite Star Wars TV show
@Elijah exactly
Elijah ever seen any other movie but the prequels? Probably not but oh well
@@kermitthefrog4362 people are entitled to their own opinions, if He thinks SW:TCW The Series is the best Star Wars, who are you to say otherwise on his behalf? Everyone doesn't have to have the same opinion as you.
Daniel Robles how can a cartoon be better then empire strikes back? And I know it’s not “just a cartoon”, but saying it’s better than empire is overreaching it way too much.
@@kermitthefrog4362 this is all subjective to begin with, in your opinion(which is a very popular opinion, not to be confused with fact) Empire Strikes Back is by far the best. Not everyone shares that viewpoint and that's ok. My personal ranking puts Empire at the #5 spot of Star Wars content. This doesn't make me less important, ill-informed, or idiotic, it is purely my opinion, and has been shaped by my experiences and interests throughout my life.
The Clone Wars is one of the few animated series I've seen every episode atleast once end to end. And the best part was that I hadn't even realized it until I looked.
Nater Tot- "The Clone Wars is on of the best animated series ever made"
Me- "Bruh, idk, Avatar is amazing"
Nater Tot- *mentions Avatar*
Me- 🤗
I got you 😏
Luckily in my case, I watched the clone wars before the revenge of the sith, so I ended up really loving revenge of the sith
That's how you should experience it honestly. My god, order 66 is so much more heart breaking after watching the clone wars
Same. I feel like I have to emotionally prepare to watch Revenge of the Sith because of the Clone Wars.
I didn't see it until after, but I still loved Revenge of the Sith. It was the first Star Wars movie that I ever saw premiere that was actually good. It felt like the story that George Lucas wanted to tell all along regarding the prequels.
It doesn't really fit. Revenge of the Sith has the impression that Anakin Skywalker never had an apprentice.
Same!
I really like that in german every character has the same voice as in the moies.

@Paden Conner ??
Paden Conner my guy, the joke is that it’s misspelled
Well. He tries to show that the prequels don’t portray obi and anakin as friends and actually uses a scene where anakin cheekily compliments his master. A beautiful character moment. It’s where anakin insists that obi wan Came up with the plan. the TH-cam video heavily downplays this.
Part II, III and however many more you need please
George, I'm working on it! Feel free to share it and give it an upvote. The more views, the more activity, the more inclined I am to go back to part 2!
9:10 literally summed up everyone’s reaction perfectly
The new trilogy is like a friend who becomes your roommate and is parasitizing off of you and slowly destroying the house, but you don't have the nerve to kick him out.
Rising Horizon Gaming Same thing...
Rising Horizon Gaming why wouldn’t he sell his creation for money? That’s like scolding an artist for selling a painting or a a writer for selling a book. You seem like quite the hypocrite.
TheThreatenedSwan that sounds like a personal problem
JUST STRIKE HIM DOWN! DEW IT! LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU! DEW IT! DEW IT! DEW IT!
tbh The Force Awakens was a great set up for a new trilogy, but obviously TLJ "killed off" major plot devices too soon and for no good reason. Snoke, Luke, Phasma, Holdo even had potential. TROS was their attempt at cleaning the mess up. it wasn't a great attempt but it wasn't as awful as fans are treating it.
Clone wars somehow took the prequel films and turned them to a memey good to actual good
I agree!
one time in some youtube comments i saw like a quote that said something like "clone wars is made by people that love star wars but hate the prequels" ( of course they probably dont actually HATE the prequels) and the more i think about it the more true that quote becomes
ROTS was always good
@@drewlbers can't argue with that
@@drewlbers I think it is fairly entertaining and has a lot of quality moments.
I highly agree, better than the Return of Skywalker.
Agreed!!
This is probably my favorite piece of Star Wars media
"including arguably the best character in the whole universe", yeah but Obi-Wan was also in the movies.
Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Leia are my top 3 Star Wars characters but idk the order
Hondo is my favorite star wars character
Jango's reaction : "I am NOT a Power-Puff girl or a Might Morphin Power Ranger!
TBH I loved the clones more than everything during the series, that's why I watched it a lot
Dr. Harmacist That’s probably the best part of the series. The fact that even though every clone is exactly the same, they manage to all have extremely different personalities.
@@biggiecheese726 exactly
@Quentin Beck well, not exactly dies...
@Quentin Beck Watch the unfinished episodes fam
Dave Filoni should be head of lucasfilm. He's been involved in by far the best star wars media of the last 15 years.
No he shouldn't
Anakin: does anything
The Imperial March: YES
I don’t care if there’s a part 50. Keep talking
Both the Original Trilogy and the prequel trilogy add to the whole of Star Wars. I like both. The sequels are weird though.
The sequels were fan fiction written by people with no passion for the series and Disney wanting to shill out this franchise as much as possible
@Bored Again the prequels had a story unlike the sequels.
@Bored Again still makes them better
Don't forget one of the best parts of clone wars, the clones! Also I feel like clones wars is star wars with an actual large scale war in it. Not one small faction vs a much larger oppressive faction. Just two factions that are almost equal in strength. Battling because of different ideals not just good and evil. You also get to explore the good and bad of both sides.
I think Cosmonaut Variety Hour summarized Maul's return the best:
DARTH
FUCKINGMAUL.
Amen lol
I love him. Cosmo is my favorite youtuber. I watch his Clone wars vid every week
It gets me hyped.
I love that they really bring you into the perspective of the clones. And I love the clones personalities they are all so funny. The episodes with just the clones are my favorite ones.
Ahsoka is the best star wars character, and that’s a fact
dude she was so inspiring to everyone of us
Did she died during her fight with Vader ?
Great character yes, but not best Star Wars character. Anikans redemption arc makes him the best character. In the end he broke from the dark side
Mathieu Vaillancourt nope, she survived and was set up to continue as a character but rebels ended so unless they make a new season of rebels we won’t see much more of her.
No, @@mathieuvaillancourt3219, you can catch her in Rebels ... and hopefully something else (soon).

I've been rewatching the entire series with my fiance (who's never seen it) in preparation for February. I forgot how much I love this show! I'd love to see more from you on this subject
Me: Every episode of The Clone Wars is great in its own way. There's something to like in every single one.
Episode: Doesn't acknowledge that Ahsoka Tano exists.
Me: This is the worst thing Star Wars has ever put out.
This is a joke. Ahsoka is literally just one of my favorite characters of all time, and this was how I felt when I first started watching the series as a kid.
This show is sooo good. He ain't lieing. I binged almost a whole season a day during break
"Photos on the wall"
That is perfect! Except, I would say, "photos on the wall with poop smeared on them"
“And he was a good friend”

I agree 100% and I am 47 and have been a fan since 1977. So i am not one who grew up with these but saw them as an adult and i agree they are the best. Anakin and Ahsoka are my favorite characters in the entire saga.
Good to know some original fans are still watching Star Wars. I assumed most Boomers and Gen X dropped it and Star Wars became mostly a Millennial thing.
@@millabasset1710 Not quite true. My dad (68) loves Star Wars, and I went to see Rise of Skywalker with him yesterday. Though, he's of the generation where "Cartoons are jut for kids", so I don't imagine I'll ever be able to get him to watch Clone Wars :(
"The Clone Wars" did a lot to flesh out diversity in Star Wars.
