[@ADreadBellow]

Ehhh I disagree. Palpatine was about experienced as they come. Going threw thousands of years worth of holocrons and other Sith and Jedi artifacts. Not to mention he and plagus studied philosophy, statesman ship science, warfare and countless others. Too say Palpatine had less experience then pretty much any mortal in the galaxy simply is false. Even Yoda probably knew less. Tho Yoda most likely knew more about the Jedi his overall knowledge on topics would most likely pale in comparison too Palpatine. This isn’t to say either one was better just Palpatine probably knew more despite being younger.

[@almond_moose]

@@nickwilson3499 yeah ur right. i guess it stemmed from his mother dying and then when he couldn't "legally" marry padme. and then i guess he was just mad at the council. probably the tipping point was in revenge of the sith maybe when the council said to spy on palpatine or when he wasn't given the rank of master. probably when windu was going to kill palpatine is when he truly turned. but still it was a big mistake not giving anakin the rank of master.

[@undonezodia1582]

Nick Wilson If he was promoted to Jedi Master, he wouldn’t have turned to the dark side. The reason he turned as easily as he did was because he already had trust issues with the council. Had they made him a Jedi Master, those trust issues wouldn’t been replaced with a lot more trust on Anakins end. But instead, they were made worse with being denied the rank of master, further solidifying in Anakins mind that the Jedi Council didn’t trust him, as he didn’t trust them.

I think the clone ranks aren’t as accurate as real life. I think Rex commanded the 501st but the personal company he ran with was torrent. In one episode Rex orders different 501st battalions to get into AT-TEs. Although Rex had the duties and command of a commander he just wasn’t promoted.

[@AngelGonzalez-kl5hz]

"Experience outranks everything"

[@cidballcidball8030]

Yeah, you actually COULD say that he was a commander, the actual explanation was that he only wasn't given the official promotion because it was going to be given to him, but as a commander he would have to be in the back lines to oversee the battles, but he wanted to be in the front with his men so he stayed a captain

[@2nasty921]

Cidball Cidball I think it was due to Ashoka being commander so he couldn’t rank up but there’s no excuse to why he hadn’t ranked up because when she left who was commander?

[@tonyw4738]

+Korps_of_Krieg 40K Ahsoka was the Commander, but Obi Wan said she’s no longer affiliated with the GAR since she left the Order. Therefore, the Commander position was open for Rex’s promotion with Ahsoka as his Adviser.

[@thexplodenator3007]

Also, theres more than one "Commander". Ahsoka was probably Brigadier Commander before she left. Then maybe Appo filled that position. But there are lower ranked Commanders than that

[@christophersalinas2722]

No no no! That makes no sense at all! Every legion (legion! Not battalion, regiment or corps) Has a senior commander. Their were regimental commanders who led them, and under those were battalion commanders. Rex was only a captain and Jedi Liason. He only became a Battalion Commander. He was just Jedi Liason. Most Liasons are commanders, but if a Jedi wanted too, they could pick a Trooper as a liason and make them out rank everyone. Rex only became a battalion commander when he led the 322nd Battalion.

Big Mike The only way I see it happening is either during the opening intro for the next few episodes it gives us glimpses at the battle and Grievous with some cool shots of him slaying Jedi left and right or we see him in the continuation of the Clone Wars as confirmed by Clone Wars producers. Apparently they are getting very good repetition on the new season so they are deciding on added more episodes kind of the like the lost missions.

[@bigmike9947]

The Maykr If they finished the Utapau arc we'd see a lot of New Grievous, and that's the most finished 4 episode arc besides the Bad Batch arc which obviously was already released, so if they add more it would most likely be Utapau

[@memesouls8653]

Big Mike Yeah that’s probably the whole reason why I wanted to watch Season 7 which was because of Grievous. He’s just such an interesting and cool character. Sad to see Disney threw him aside as some cartoon villain and now don’t even mention him in media anymore. Easily one of the most iconic characters.

The timeline of events in ROTS is roughly 9 months. Check the progression of Padme's pregnancy. She shows no signs after the battle of Coruscant but she tells Anakin that she is pregnant. By the end of the film on with her meeting with Vader on Mustafar she is clearly several months into the pregnancy. With that in mind, the seige of Mandalore lasted somewhere within the last 9 months of the clone wars along with the rest of the outer rim seiges in places like Felucia and Mygeeto.

Ryan Chan I’m completely forgot about that scene and it does make sense. If he does read his mind then Jessi too would know of order 66 and Maul wouldn’t want others knowing about that regardless.

[@timothysullivan5264]

We need more videos like this to clear up the military structure in the Republic and Empire

am i the only one that is sad that Jessie didnt get any lines in ep9 i am very interested in what might happen to him because he is still next to rex my fav clone

[@elpato7598]

I think maul will kill him. In the trailer you see maul not force choke but technically read someones mind. That person looked like jesse

I think it took so long for Rex to get promoted to commander because he was a CT (as mentioned by Krell in Season 4, and confirmed by Jesse in Season 7), unlike Cody, Bly, and Wolffe, who were CCs. There was likely an institutional glass ceiling on the rank attainment of CTs. Only allowing clones specifically bred to be officers to make commander sounds like something those Kaminoans would do, and like something that Palpatine would implicitly endorse.

[@theomarvin7989]

First?

[@commandercody8085]

Congratulations to you Rex on your promotion. You are now a commander just like me. 🎉🎉🎉

[@floridaman4577]

I really hope they show us Rex helping Ahsoka escape the great purge, and them taking the chips out of their heads.

[@randyyeh7576]

2:30 its a small cool detail but it's rare to see clones using their stocks on the DC-15

[@mgrassoo5082]

The name is Rex, but you can call me Commander or Sir 🤭 congrats to our boy ❤️

[@kxloux8466]

Love the fact that you keep putting spoilers in your titles! Makes for great content.

Congratulations *Commander* Rex.

*me realizing the last arc is during revenge of the sith* "oh yeah, it's all coming together."

[@mems9953]

Can I just say the animation in this last arc is amazing. So fluid, so smooth, and somehow better than the last 8 episodes.

[@gman4560]

You have no idea how much I want to see the battle of Courascant in clone wars animation.

[@azcarth1125]

The commander of the 501st was Asohka, Jedi padawans we’re given commander status and knights/masters are given general. Also I feel like they only called him captain Rex instead of commander is because it sounds better

[@Shuddarun]

I hadn't thought about this before now, but maybe the 4 episodes of this final Clone Wars arc mirrors the 4 days over which Revenge of the Sith takes place.

[@atleyrichardson]

My god that shot of general grevious, so beautiful

[@jakejohnson718]

Rex wasn't promoted to commander until the 332nd was made because "experience outranks everything"

[@lvkas5102]

R.I.P Ridge.... From being a clone on a gunship to teth to being a clone getting impaled by maul.

[@ARC-ug6gm]

Impaled by maul with a wall.

[@jft2nd]

Lol this episode showed the parallels of Obi Wan and Cody with Anakin and Rex. With Obi Wan and Cody being serious and following protocol while Anakin and Rex are all about showing off and being spontaneous.

[@OrigMaelstrom]

332nd is likely the brigade/regiment in the 332nd division of the 501st. Company levels are generally named, not numbered, well at least here ;) In SW, they can organize however they like and just jumble it all together ;)

[@BitoyV3]

Rex: **gets promoted to commander** the entire TCW fanbase: YOU DESERVE IT! 👏👏👏👏👏 YOU DESERVE IT! 👏👏👏👏👏 YOU DESERVE IT! 👏👏👏👏👏

"that's an order trooper" that sounded so genuine 🙈

[@bb-61ussiowa75]

I love how they said the general grievous had a large attack on the core, it makes the war seem less one sided

[@taladon6420]

He was only called Captain Rex because it sounded more interesting than having two commanders accompanying our two favourite Jedi

[@gatorboy6600]

I'll be so sad when it ends but it'll be awesome for it to finally have a ending where it was on a cliff hanger for so many years
