Clone Wars Conversations Ep. 4:" Saw Gerrera" Andrew Kishino

[@BrokenFrameProductions]

I must admit I didn't know who Andrew Kishino was before watching this episode, but I can say he's earned himself a new fan! His analysis of the character, as well as voice acting in general was very insightful and interesting. Thank you for another great episode!

[@JATactor]

Daniel Johansson awesome so glad to hear it.

[@shinysamurott613]

Saw Gerrera.... The guy who's eyes always change every time he re-appears

[@Alex-ji6ob]

Why am I fascinated with what's going on with Saw's eyes

[@raicattivo]

Intergalactic Contacts?

[@loisgwyn7069]

Isn’t that Lux?

[@JoeHoganArt]

What a great episode this was, James! Thank you as always for letting me be a part of it!

[@JATactor]

Joe Hogan Art Joe!!! Such great art in this! Had a wonderful time at dinner the other night talking Clone Wars and such. I'm blessed to have you involved in this show!

[@lukerope1906]

For me personally; it's not just mere coincidence that my two favorite Prequal/ Clone Wars era Jedi; Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Plo Koon, are voiced by the same amazing person. Indeed there is much more going on here. Thank you, James Arnold Taylor, for bringing the animated version, of these great characters to life.

[@JATactor]

Joe Kerr thank you so very much for the kind words!

[@TheEuphonage]

James Arnold Taylor: not just a great voice actor who can get other cool voice actors on his show because he knows them, but also a genuinely skilled host.

[@AnikinSolo19]

speaking of season 5 which I am currently rewatching right now JAT I just wanted to thank you for your amazing work threw out all of the Clone Wars but especially my favorite two episodes 15 and16 of season 5 shades of reason and the Lawless it's absolutely amazing and your performances are flawless so thank you James Arnold Taylor

[@JATactor]

Ryan Bullick thank you truly. Those are very special episodes indeed.

[@AnikinSolo19]

James Arnold Taylor the part with the duchess it's very hard to watch it gets to me everytime IMO it's the saddest moment in Star Wars history next to Yoda's passing in Empire

[@AnikinSolo19]

Sebastian Samuel lol Jedi absolutely right HAHAHA

[@evandempsey7613]

I'm only halfway through this episode, but this Andrew guy knows what he's talking about. He could write the scripts as well as act them, I think.

[@evandempsey7613]

Also how come I knew every single artist he listed off _except_ Donnie Hathaway?

[@pearlmarley3833]

Holy crap Andrew is deep!!

[@MCLegoboy]

This episode was really good. I'm going to say that it's the best episode yet (Don't tell Jim Cummings), and I think it's because there is this really deep connection between the two of you. Some similar life experiences and interests make all the difference, and Andrew had such a way of conveying thoughts and ideas that it really bumped the episode up. And that Shakespeare at the end, that was so great even with the early interruption. Fantastic episode, maybe he can be a return guest, but next time for the JAT Show.

[@JATactor]

MCLegoboy yes, it's a very special episode because of Andrew, he's so great and we had so much fun and it definitely came through in the episode! Thx so much!

[@TheHarknessMonster]

I absolutely love Andrew's comment "Binary way of looking at things". That was amazing because of how so many people view things.

[@JATactor]

Jason Harkness yes, his insight is awesome.

[@bluedopamine6364]

I just realized the artwork kinda pays a little reference to the look of the 2003 clone wars animation

[@itsatrap1017]

Next time, and yes, I hope this show goes on indefinitely for the near future that Kishino will be back, could you have him read some of Saw's dialogue from the book Catalyst by James Luceno. I feel like Saw in the novel is a cross between how he is seen in Rebels Season 3 and in The Clone Wars episode, "Tipping Points". And that can go for any Clone Wars voice actor, like Nika Futterman reading Dark Disciple aloud or Sam Witwer reading Son of Dathomir the same way. Either way, epic show, JAT! Keep it up many times over.

[@JATactor]

ItsATrap101 thx, but I can't due to legal rights and permissions etc. but perhaps if enough folks watch it and gets enough of a following they would consider allowing for that type of thing as a cross promotion.

[@mphrox5628]

I love your expression in your voice when you get mad at Anakin like "ANAKIN NO!"

[@MichaelWalterVentures234]

I feel great for Andrew. He got to play an amazing character in Star Wars who grew up to be the equally amazing Forest Whitaker!

[@xxSennaxx]

Super super interesting! Andrew seems like a great and talented guy - I loved his work for Saw. Thank you to JAT for putting the spotlight on him!

[@JATactor]

xxSennaxx a well deserved spot light indeed!!

[@jaredjohnson7960]

For some reason this interview made me tear up. Maybe it's how Andrew is so passionate and smart about things, or maybe it's just ... I don't even know. I was smiling the whole time

[@jordanpowell5948]

Every time I watch these I don't see James I see ratchet because r.a.c was a big part of my childhood and is still a massive part of my life. I went and saw the movie in theaters and I loved it. Thank you James for bringing joy to our lives. Also, cool adition to the studio would be a life size omni-wrench.

[@JATactor]

Jordan Powell thanks so much I'm glad that even this Star Wars show can satisfy a Ratchet fan!!

[@tannerlucas4351]

I think that there is a family connection between the fans and the voice actors because we all share the same love for the Clone Wars. This show is really the thing that jump started my young imagination a second time after I saw the original trilogy like empire and a new hope, but this era in the Star Wars universe was what had me hooked! I am so happy that you do these shows it keeps the memory of the Clone Wars alive in my imagination. Also I really hope you consider livestream son KZbin it could be really fun and you could talk to your fans in real time. Anyhow I hope you have a wonderful day!

[@AngelaSealana]

Loved "The Arc of Side-Eye". 😅

[@scottblackman1846]

James I have to say, that's been the best episode yet. Andrew was and is great, so nice to hear the two of chatting not just about the Clone wars but music and tech as well. Can could see and feel the passion coming of off him, says a lot about your interview style James, the way up start with a question and just let your guest go and answer from the heart. A lot of other interviews could learn a lot by watching you. I'm already looking forward to episode 5. And of course I'm still waiting for any news of some U.K. Dates for you one man show. Keep doing what your doing, it's truly amazing and thank you for your passion for Star Wars.

[@JATactor]

Scott Blackman thanks so much!

[@Brick.CYN.Weather]

Andrew has a niiiice voice, there with the Othello reading. Got ASMR-type tingles from his voice. Thank you, JAT.

[@mphrox5628]

your an amazing Obi-Wan Kenobi

[@JATactor]

StarWars Animations thx so much

[@mphrox5628]

James Arnold Taylor your welcome

[@gallendugall8913]

Now I have to rewatch these episodes

[@mozilla2576]

This guy is super cool. ...Thanks for the great work on CW.

[@Redfivee]

Best episode yet James,love the episodes and guest choices.Andrews unique POV was fantastic.

[@JATactor]

Dustin Whalen I'm so glad to hear it. I can't pick favs but Andrew was certainly a stand out for me... I just loved what he brought to the conversation!

[@dustinspidervader]

Started watching these last night. Now I want to watch Clone Wars again...

[@pearlmarley3833]

I love this! How the conversation flows is just amazing!!

[@JATactor]

Pearl Marley we had a great time, Andrew is totally awesome!

[@AngelaSealana]

What a great guest he was! I think you guys have great report with each other. Thanks for this really fun show, JAT!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

This was immensely interesting. Thanks, James! Thanks, Andrew! 😊 😊

[@PadawanAR]

This was just plain FUN! And yes, Mr. Kishino gave Saw a depth that I think they successfully carried over into Rogue One. These "Conversations" are very enjoyable indeed. You bet I'll be happy to see the next one! :) :) :)

[@JATactor]

PadawanAR thx so much!

[@PadawanAR]

Welcome! I loved it when he was talking about having the little action figures as a kid...I was sitting here goin', "Me, too!" and the Shakespeare read at the end...way cool. How do you choose what to do for those little special endings in the character voices? Any rhyme and reason, or is it just whatever comes to mind?

[@JATactor]

PadawanAR I try to find ones that reflect the characters

[@snoopyrogue359]

I'm a big fan James! I grew up with the Clone Wars: I wished it got to finish.

[@robbiehorn7690]

Also will you ever get Matt Lanter up here? (And if you do, you have to have an extended conversation with him (in character!))

[@JoeHoganArt]

James has commented in some of the other Clone Wars Conversations that Matt is in the works. :) Lots of people are asking for Matt!

[@Nin-Saber]

I would LOVE to hear them reenact the Mustafar scene!

[@seedyrahm3428]

they need to do that omg.

[@JATactor]

Robbie Horn it's already been shot and yes it's a two parter... coming in the next month.

[@PadawanAR]

SO look forward to that!!

[@JimmyinGA]

Thanks JAT and Andrew Kishino for another great episode of "Clone Wars Conversations"

[@ianator879]

I got excited when he mentioned Bruce Springsteen! One of my favorite musicians of all time!

[@mindlessdroid3630]

Another fascinating episode thank you James for doing these not only do we get insight into the various Clone Wars characters but learn so much about voice acting these are just a treat. Oh and loved the "Get off my lawn" segment. LOL

[@BanachBeans]

I love these videos so much, thank you. I've got an all night marathon of The Clone Wars planned tonight with my brothers and their friends tonight so I'll be seeing more of Saw tonight :)

[@JATactor]

Bethany Caldwell cool!!

[@HeathMartinVO]

I am loving these! Big Kish is great and so is JAT a couple of my heroes in the game.

[@lilevil_bricks9419]

Hope you do more of these! I know im late to the party but would be cool to see this continue

[@austinallen8658]

The best show ever. This is something truly amazing!!!!!

[@_TheDayman]

!!! 28:00 I was the guy who talked about JAT as Electro on twitter! (@_TheDayman) What do I win?

[@JATactor]

ASAP BIDOOF I wondered if you'd see that!

[@jschmons]

This is a timely series for us as I just started re-watching Clone Wars with my children now that they are old enough. Thanks for making this!

[@staticmunk7777]

man this is one epic episode I myself am a big fan of the good music like war, earth,wind and fire, boston, steve miller band, stevie of course deep purple oh yes classic aerosmith, journey, the eagles my mom exposed to to a lot of great music ever since I was bornand so happy she did.And also happy to see big kish from saw to one of the coolest hyena's ever and one very good shakespear reader man that was truly amazing and thank you mr taylor each episode keeps getting better and better and yes it would take a year to name all of the great and awesome music bands I love a lot especially hip hop and I remember that vid around the world in 80 days a masterpiece for the ages, I am so overjoyed right now.

[@CosmicTron]

Awesome episode James my friend. Andrew definitely set the ark of this Character, as Well as Forest Whittaker doing a great job taking on the role as such an extreme Saw Gerrera. Keep up the Awesome work Would love to see you and John Dimaggio in an interview on your channel together.

[@JATactor]

CosmicTron thx so much

[@CosmicTron]

No Problem James! always a pleasure.

[@SpenceDMann]

James. I think the playlist would run smoother for those who want to start from episode one to the more recent by flipping the order. It's a pain, but I think it'll allow people to keep it playing non-stop. Other than that, I am loving the show!

[@mandece]

Love this show more and more. You're the man (and THE Obi-Wan)

[@chancylvania]

I just played that end song during Shakespeare on my harp in my ensemble class

[@candicefaithv]

Oh yes!! Would love to see Jason Spisak here!!

[@shay3975]

Just a word if I may... Wow.

[@gregsarafinchin6109]

Another brilliant CWC Mr. Taylor!! I love watching these show so much thank you!! Are you going to have Mathew Wood on CWC?

[@JATactor]

Greg Sarafinchin we'll see if we can make it work with his schedule.

[@austin62halo]

your the only voice actor I can put a face to! keep up the good work

[@amywishmannalan2298]

This was fantastic. I love the insights we gain from these chats. Thank you so much for doing this!

[@quigonjim8364]

After Sam Witwer, this is the best interview!

[@rencameraman]

Really love what you do Mr Taylor. Love Clone Wars. Just a suggestion, it would be really interesting of having a conversation with some of tha animator . They are the key of shows like this and mostly never get the credit for it. I would love to hear some insight from them . Thank you.

[@cameroncarroll5703]

This was a great episode James!

[@DustinRobertsOfficial]

more please :-)

[@BiggySn1p3r]

I can't stop looking at his uneven goatee.

[@nickwright1560]

YESSSS

[@candicefaithv]

Epic intro! Love this series!

[@nickharding7640]

You should start writing mini scripts for these videos. It would be an awesome throwback to clone wars

[@JATactor]

Nick Harding well that would get into a legal area we don't want to go. That's why I do things like Shakespeare... but thx!

[@tannerlucas4351]

James Arnold Taylor So you don't want to write fun little scripts to read because they're considered copyright?

[@JATactor]

Tanner Lucas they would have to be approved by LucasFilm as we are all the official voices and we represent the Star Wars franchise and they have a lot that goes into every story, so it's just not something that can be done easily.

[@tannerlucas4351]

James Arnold Taylor I understand James thank you, I've ran into copyright issues myself when posting Stop motion Star Wars Brick shorts that I've made. It might have been because of the title or the music but you have to be careful with those things, but since we are talking about copyright how do you not get in trouble for calling these series "Clone Wars conversations" ?

[@JoshuaJordanUbernerd527]

Nerd Tip: If you want to see more of Saw's character development from Jyn's point of view I would highly suggest reading the book Rebel Raising. The Clone Wars episodes are talked about from Saw's own words.

[@asl_anna_4]

lolololol great music taste. OMG Rapper's Delight is great.

[@JBTriple8]

Yes Saw Gerrera was exactly like he was in The Clone Wars in Rogue One also Fans Have created Memorable such as "Lies, Deception" and "Bor Gullet Will Know The Truth"

[@Alex-ji6ob]

KalKenobi83 Don't forget that one guy at this year's Star Wars Celebration dressed as Saw and went around with a missing Bor Gullet poster.

[@parrannoidd]

its been 3 goddamn year and the fans still doesnt watch this awesome video series! They should watch i mean just 786 likes! Bruh

[@chelseacrossley5578]

omg best intro

[@maxjones503]

I bet if I had been playing this character who is now in one of the live action star wars movies, by Forest whitaker, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from just shouting out *'That's my character!!'*

[@yanamalinina9112]

Maybe you'll do one with Matthew Wood as the voice of Grievous and Battle Droids?

[@mrmario11244]

Will Matthew Wood, (General Grievous and Battle Droids) Be on the show James?

[@PaulBeard1990]

Love these conversation videos. I hope you can get Ashley in and Dave filoni or if possible George Lucas. If you get Ashley in then I think it be good to have Matt in at the same time so it be master obi wan, Jedi anakin and Ahsoka together again :)

[@JATactor]

Paul Beard thx. Well Matt's episode is already shot and will be a two parter coming soon. Ashley will be in another month or so. As for Dave... not sure if he come on, and as for George... well we all can dream. : )

[@redcomet6327]

AKA, star player of the ZANARKAND ABES

[@ButchersNailsEnjoyer]

*BOR GULLET CAN FEEL YOUR THOUGHTS. NO LIE IS SAFE.*

[@Worldwidegam3r]

Does Joe Hogan do all the art personally for each episode you do? That would be really cool if he did.

[@JoeHoganArt]

Bob Shaw I am indeed! I'm having a blast with these. Thank you for the kind words, Bob! :)

[@Worldwidegam3r]

I knew i recognised your art before. You have a deviant art right? Also, how much do you charge for commissions? :D

[@JoeHoganArt]

Oh, cool! Yes, I have a DeviantArt. :) If you'd like to discuss any commission work, feel free to shoot me a PM here on KZbin, or an email at [e-mail]. Thanks!

[@JATactor]

Bob Shaw yes he does and he turns them around in a matter of hours some times. He's brilliant and so fast. I'm truly fortunate to have his art featured here!

[@robbiehorn7690]

You are absolutely amazing! I'll pay to have a lightsaber duel with you! 😂😃

[@IVAN3DX]

First of all, I loved your performace as Obi Wan, and hoped the series would have been completed. You always get star wars questions, but I'm going to ask a different one. How does it feel to have a wikipedia page?

[@JATactor]

IVAN3DX I'm happy with any page that shows voice-acting in a positive light, if I happen to be blessed enough to have it about me... that's a bonus.

[@IVAN3DX]

Thanks for your answer! It feels weird "talking" to someone who played a character I watched so much lol

[@231ian1]

you need Dee Bradley Baker and Sam Witwer

[@declanhughes9272]

One question. Will Ashley Eckstein appear? Or perhaps Dee Bradley Baker.

[@JATactor]

Declan Hughes that's technically two questions 😜 but yes, they both are in the books to do the show.

[@declanhughes9272]

Well, I've lost my ability to count. But sounds great!

[@abbydavis2563]

You really have to do Matt lantern or Ashley Eckstein pleeeeeaaaaase!!!!

[@JATactor]

Abby Skywalker they will be.

[@CymruJedi]

LIES! DECEPTION!

[@TheTopdog5000]

Bor Gullet!

[@SuperTunnelBoy]

SAW WAS A WHITE DUDE?
