Another reference when Palpatine and Anakin went into a dining room in the palace of Naboo and they find Dooku sitting and waiting for them. It's a "trap situation" very similar to Han, Leia and Darth Vader waiting in the Empire. Does it make sense?

[@oscarin13]

When Rex and other Clone troopers are going to arrest General Krell, he says ''It's treason, then".

[@whosasking8839]

Nahdar Vebb, Kit Fisto's former apprentice , is an alternate spelling of "Nadar", which is Spanish for "Swim"

[@radioactiveowl95]

I was surprised you didn't mention that The Box was based on the 1997 film Cube.

[@seanwhatstone8880]

Rip waxer saddest death in clone wars

[@jasont9169]

Sean Whatstone Fives is the saddest imo

[@geedorahN]

Both hella depressing won’t lie

[@TheRoguePrince0]

the time of the clone wars will come again 2019 update I was right 2020 update I'm still right. 10th of February 2020, 11 days to clone wars season 7 I was right, I was right. 5/5/2022 I'm still right.

[@swimmingagainsttheti]

I honestly dont understand why they arent completeing the series. The series popularity has boomed in recent years (given Star Wars is once again maintsream) with the greater general public. I believe there may be some issue in production, either it is too expensive or cartoon network owns the character models. The could easily continue the series with the Rebels animation style if they have to.

[@conradojavier]

Disney made a deal with Fox to use Ego the Living Planet as the Antagonist in GOTG Vol.2, & Teenage Negasonic Warhead is use in the Deadpool movie, & they collaborate wth Sony for a Homecoming movie.

[@CobraShadowz]

leon Shepard I think they definitely will maybe after Rebels and the one after is finished (presumably between VI and VII).There is no reason why they wouldn't. Most of the basic animations were finished and it as an extremely popular show.

[@twmcgraw3035]

+BetweenTwo Lungs Warner Bros. has the rights to The Clone Wars series and it's assets, I believe. And even if the show was continued, the animation would dip in quality since George Lucas wouldn't be the one funding the show. The Clone Wars is being continued in various forms. Just not as a TV series.

[@swimmingagainsttheti]

As I stated. The could easily continue the series with the Rebels style of animation. While Son of Dathomir and Dark Disicipleare great comics/books they really need to be animated (especially given the significance of Dark Disciple to Ventresses story). Futhermore the loss of the rest of Clone Wars of series in canon is really starting to show; the lack of the Seige of Mandalore is a major issue. Much of Rebels plot spawns from that arc: The state Mandalore, Ahsoka and Mauls realationship, Bo Katans status etc. The lack of the rest Clone Wars in the clone wars in canon is futher highlighted as we have canon content for minor stories (The Chewbacca comic functioned to explain why he never had a Medal in ANH). I feel the Seige of Mandlore is a lot more important to Star Wars canon than that story point.

[@aidanrogers4438]

4:15 Well whaddya know!

[@UraiFen44444444]

The last airbinder was awesome

[@bradwright9477]

Show or movie? Show is a masterpiece. Movie was one of the worst of all time lol

[@MikeReichert]

Thanks so much for pointing out the Anakin/Grievous barrier. I thought they had met at some point in Clone Wars and had been watching the series again trying to catch that after I noticed the line in ROTS. I guess I was wrong and Lucasfilm got it right.

[@cillianbrouder]

It would have been cool to see Pong Krell versus General Grievas

[@proto303]

he wasn't a separatist, he was a seperate thing all by himself, a dark jedi if you will. so it would be possible either way

[@definitelyahooman7030]

I love the amount of work and detail put into these videos, I've learnt a fair amount from watching them. Keep up the great work!

+Darth Sidious not yet

[@josephyml]

there's a line in heir to the jedi about a force field keeping the heat of a lightsaber contained until it touched something solid...i thought that explained why the water isn't boiling around it.

[@killaka786]

The deleted scene where Maul and Savage had Sidious against the wall (for a brief time) should of been included in the CW series. Yes Sidious is more powerful then both of them but it would be cool to see! Especially when Sidious used force lighting on both of them.

[@aidanrogers4438]

killaka786 It's treason, then.

[@CobraShadowz]

killaka786 No Sidious' powers were far beyond theirs. He was toying with them

[@killaka786]

Macattack 1 - people have different opinions I'll stick to mine I suggest you stick to yours.

[@killaka786]

Macattack 1 - I know you wasn't trying to attack me lol. It's interesting that we both share different opinions on the situation. 👊

[@CobraShadowz]

killaka786 It's not an opinion that Sidious is far more powerful than Savage and Maul, it's a fact.

[@XepherTim]

4:25 _gets flashbacks to The Last Airbender movie_

[@Durgemann]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE MUST NEVER SPEAK OF THAT ABOMINATION.

I wanna see Clone Wars heroes in tue next Battlefront so bad. ;)

[@hansnevaloses1741]

Miitchell Whitmer I wouldn't mind if the heroes were specifically Clone Wars era. I mean I guess playing as Rey would be alright but I'd rather play as Jedi council members

[@mitchellwhitmer6525]

@@TechnoaxesYT I was referring to Rex or Ahsoka, but I was still very happy seeing ARC Troopers and Clone Clone Commandoes.

[@Cheeky_Hiro]

Mitchell Whitmer And now Battlefront 2 is cancelled...

[@mitchellwhitmer6525]

@@Cheeky_Hiro Its not 'canceled', its just over. The game had support for over 2 years, which is more than a lot of games can say.

The Sith Infiltrator appeared in the Son of Dathomir comics as well.

Great stuff Alex! I am absolutely LOVING these Clone Wars Easter egg videos. Can't wait for season 5 and I hope 6! Thanks for sharing!

[@interestingy8484]

We need a Petit Anthology Film explaining Big Hay-Zu's rize to power.

[@NimhShambler]

Good ol' Kit. Gotta love the smiley Natolan Jedi Master.

[@lovebirdmic]

So, thereticly, you could have a lightsaber with a hinge and then the hinge can be detatched in some way, like a mix of ventress and krells? I'd have a normal blue saber with the hinge and a light dagger that's green.

[@stevenwoods8463]

In Crisis on Naboo, you can hear Palpatine mention plasma mines in his speech, perhaps a reference to the Darth Plageius book.

[@Dipstikk]

The designs for the Umbaran fighter ships are based on, of all things, the individual neck vertibrae of the sauropod dinosaur Apatosaurus. I remember reading posts about it on a blog about sauropods.

[@jacobrickard1753]

I love this Mon Cala-Video

[@twstf8905]

8:36 Moralo Eval's chest piece, (and Dengar's, Snowtrooper's, etc.) is also almost exactly the same as K2-SO's chest armor. I used to believe that Dengar and Moralo Eval were actually wearing repurposed chest armor from scrapped K2 security droids. But, evidently it's just a common Star Wars design aesthetic. 👍

[@PacoAmaya]

I was waiting for this! Great job Star Wars Explained!

[@WaddelingProductions]

I thought Appo had that arrow so we could tell who he was easier, but I love that it's a reference to Appa.

[@anakinskywalker8576]

I am the most cool character

[@1redrider100]

Kit Fisto is so damn cute in Clone Wars. He's such a light-hearted, yet professional Jedi Master, though I was a tad annoyed by his minimal issue with his apprentice's death. Didn't seem to have much effect on him, though it wasn't his fault and the two had grown quite distant.

[@reidquiggins]

these videos are my favorite! Keep up the great work.

[@daysenflores]

This one was full of stuff I didnt know. Thanks!!

[@AndreBSaba]

I'm loving these videos!!

[@Dr-Manhattan]

In S4E8 Hardcase says: “I prefer a good fight to all this sneaking around” - Han Solo: SW - E IV

[@k-dawgwestmore4643]

Ya forgot that Rako Hardeen is referred to as a “marksman of Concord Dawn” which shows up in Rebels. Also the snake and Mail were meant to parallel Gollum and Shelob in Return of the King, which is y Maul has spider legs.

[@BthIX]

The spear blaster weapons used by the moncalamari were later seen used by old Admiral Akbar in Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[@sb_vfl34]

what if the younglings killed anakin

[@xGhost4000x]

I knew most of these, but I was surprised by Numa. I can't believe I missed that.

[@clomp05]

You forgot one fact: the panel that rako hardeen (obi-wan) uses the force on to escape prison with cad bane and moralo evall has aurebesh that translates as 'locked'.

[@Gabelebabele]

5:16 My two favouurite characters = my two favourite star wars scenes! lol I couldn't be happier!

[@dwizzy.34]

The frame at 1:06 has me dying 😂

I'm surprised you didn't mention that Riff Tamson was a reference to Biff Tannen from Back to the Future, or that his death was an homage to ending of Jaws.
