Clone Wars Conversations Ep. 2: Jim Cummings "The Jedi & the Pirate"

[@aafricaofficial]

Favorite Hondo Scene - "You will pay for your insolence!" "INSOLENCE?!? We are pirates! We don't even know what that means!"

[@MCLegoboy]

*Insolence

[@MikhaelAhava]

Adrian Africa yup, hmm… Dooku also said that to Anakin.

[@MatthewKniesEnjoyer89]

"OPEN FIRE"

If one hostage is good, two are better, and three... well that’s just good business

[@cootiefish8332]

Jim once liked my tweet that said "Hondo Ohnaka is my spirit animal" it's my proudest moment

[@JiminyCrickets.balls12]

I smell profit!

[@SamBryans128]

Can you imagine if Obi-Wan went to the Cantina and Han and Chewie weren't there and the only pilot he could find was Hondo? Think of the possibilities.

[@Donut--lm2hk]

They would never have ended up on the death star, maybe just get tricked and robbed 😂

[@Khifler]

I can just imagine the hesitance in Obi

[@SRfangirl]

There’s a fanfic on AO3 called Kenobi Walks Into A Cantina and Immediately Wishes He Could Walk Back Out.

[@Mtab2260]

Imagine what Ben would look like

[@runerdude141]

Best hondo line ever spoken... Ahsoka: I dont wanna hurt you hondo! Hondo: i knoooow... and I appreciate that!

[@Grievousish]

Hondo and Winnie the Pooh are the same person. That's gonna be tough to get out of my head for awhile.

[@GhostHostMemories]

and darkwing duck. and Pete...and..........

[@BulletBillSoilder]

GhostHostMemories SATAM Eggman

[@AravisKenobi14]

He was also the singing voice of Pocahontas' father in Pocahontas, which I just discovered recently!

[@GhostHostMemories]

Oh check out him doing Darth Vader as pooh. Now that is crazy

[@shinysamurott613]

Grievousish I can say the same thing about Mr. Crabs and Savage Oppress Same guy

[@j.m.7551]

I love how Hondo has told off three sith Lords and lives, (Dooko, Maul, Opress). Do you think you are the first lazer sword wielding maniac to come to my home?

[@hondothepirate]

Technically hes told off 5. As he has talked to palpatine in the ransom episode. And his few fights with Anikan aka Vader

[@starwarsrebelsclips310]

18:53 when he realized he made an adult joke on a family channel

[@JATactor]

Star Wars Rebels Clips yes, I had to cut to the shot of his face... but notice how I changed the subject ; )

[@starwarsrebelsclips310]

James Arnold Taylor it was pretty funny. ah well the kids won't get it 😂

[@theromuluanhunter6976]

@@JATactor Look at it this way: You managed to keep things okay. Plus, there's no backlash. That's another happy landing right there.

[@commandercaptain4664]

Right up there (or down there?) with Ying Yang Yo's definition of "fugly".

[@jennamann2946]

The Clone Wars voice actors are truly their own special breed of phenomenal talent. They are unmatched, truly. James, thank you so much for keeping our love of the show alive. It is my favourite Star Wars comment ANYWHERE. God Bless you.

[@JATactor]

Jenna Mann thx!!

[@Algernonab]

I actually didn't realize that it was Jim Cummings was Hondo when I first watched the series. I realized it much later when my dad watched it, and heard that Hondo's voice is the same voice as Minsc from Baldur's Gate (who is also voiced by Jim Cummings). Go for the eyes, Boo.... Go for the eyes!

[@grantcorbett920]

"I just remember MILF." 😂 that face Jim made after that was perfect!

[@ebomb1133]

"This operation, is no longeeeer, profitable!" My favorite Hondo line

[@BrokenFrameProductions]

I absolutely love this! When Mark Hamill's name came up in the conversation, I remembered that he actually did a guest role on The Clone Wars. Have you considered inviting him on the show?

[@padmeamidala760]

Darth Bane! Oh my that would be amazing!

[@schradester8]

Daniel Johansson I love how he is Darth Bane. I'd love for him to reprise the voice sometime. Mark plays fantastic villains

[@CertainlyCaro]

He did Darth Bane, right?

[@theromuluanhunter6976]

@@CertainlyCaro Indeed.

[@prentice1215]

Every word out of Hondo's mouth is gold. Glad you had Jim Cummings on!

[@nate1511]

Now I know why Hondo always sounded a little bit familiar, he sounded like tigger from Winnie the Pooh. I just checked Jim’s Imdb page, how is it possible for a human being to be this talented, he is amazing!

[@paulk1181]

thank you for doing this show Mr. Taylor!

[@Shade2800]

I'm trying to finish the "Clone Wars" on Netflix (on Season 5 right now), and now that I am older and know who the people behind these voices are, I honestly have newfound appreciation for these characters. Thanks guys!

[@sc_art5408]

The thumbnail art is brilliant!

[@lusotuber]

Probably my favourite original character from the series. Jim provided such great charisma and attitude to the character in his performance. Just a great job!

[@lizchandler7523]

That part where you both read the lines from Oliver Twist as Hondo and Obi-Wan was the highlight of my week 😂😂😂 I closed my eyes during the whole scene and I could see Obi-Wan and Hondo having the conversation perfectly. I'm really enjoying these Clone Wars Conversations as someone who watched the show from its first air date when I was 8 to even now at 17 on Netflix. I really want to thank you for carrying on the memory of this great show through these interviews. Thank you so much, Mr. Taylor :)

[@JATactor]

Lay Support Squad thank you! So glad you're enjoying them lots more to come.

[@GTTeancum]

Absolutely agree. I was laughing out loud!

[@arennotaaron8674]

I love when Hondo says "Where did the power go? I was having fun!" When he's shocking Anakin and Obi-Wan LOL

[@aramere3650]

God that reading at the end is so funny. Hondo is without a doubt one of my favorite characters in the Clone Wars!

[@MTTT19]

If we get an Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie, I would love it if Obi-Wan and Hondo could team up one last time.

[@christianlopez1094]

I can not get enough of theses episodes!

[@BeazleyStudios]

These readings at the end of the show are so much fun. It's less about the scene they are reading but more of getting to watch them work, to see how they project those characters through their voice first hand instead of through the cartoon. Thank you JAT for ending your episodes in this manner.

[@GratiaPIena]

This deserves so many more views than it has, these videos are just glorious.

[@JATactor]

Harvey Thompson thx so much. Well I'm happy that they are getting at least what they are but I agree and hope that they would get shared and spread around more. They are a labor of love and my thanks to all who liked the Clone Wars and the fantastic actors I got to work with. Thx. JAT

[@CymruJedi]

Just a suggestion, but you might want to put the guests name in the title of the episode. You'll attract more people that way!

[@SkragaRooRoo]

I totally second this!

[@bobbob123ful]

Starkiller100 I third this!

[@JATactor]

Starkiller100 noted. : )

[@tannerlucas4351]

James Arnold Taylor Your Clone Wars conversations series is really fun to watch with all these different voice actors I hope to see more!

[@Spectralyzed]

I had no idea that Hondo was voiced by Jim Cummings!!! That blows my mind!

[@Sp1nk1n4tor]

These are always a lot of fun to watch, great episode. The Pilf joke was a good laugh! Thanks again for the time you put into this!

[@TonysWorld]

I'm really loving these Clone War Conversations..Any chance we'll be seeing Sam Witwer or Dee Bradley Baker on future episodes?

[@JATactor]

Tony's World yes to both! In the coming month or two.

[@MrDarth0]

For the whole conversation at the end, I had Minsc in my head.

[@Justice094]

Always loved Hondo.

[@mikewest1981]

I grew up watching clone wars and to be able to watch this, it's so awesome!!

[@TheChesterKiwi]

Wow! I'm so appreciative that a great voice actor like you is doing these episodes! Keep it up!

[@JATactor]

Chris Castel thx so much! Hope you enjoy the JAT Channel.

[@souperman7326]

Man I miss Clone Wars... thanks for doing this show JAT, it's nice to see how the cast is doing

[@shay3975]

A scene from Oliver Twist as Obi-Wan and Hondo? I couldn't stop smiling.

[@AndrewAbernathy]

Hondo started as an annoyance to me but became legendary very quick. Absolutely love the character. Discovered this series via a reaction to the Princess Bride conversation animation. Binging them now!

[@storykept9431]

What a jolly guy! :D Fantastic episode once more. Thank you James for bringing us these behind the scene moments.

[@effen_aey_man]

When Jim said that you were cheating because you weren't doing a character and that you were channeling Ewan I lost it

[@puddlescondor]

Woohoo! Waited in excitement for this next episode and was not disappointed! Thank you again Mr. Taylor!

[@Peak-OB1]

Cool Episode! Really enjoyed listening to my favorite character as always (obi-wan) along side one of the most exciting and well thought out scums of the galaxy (Hondo)... that Jim is amazing! Please keep them coming.

[@mr.kalchev]

Thank you Mr. Taylor for doing this show! I like the sense of nostalgia you bring!

[@spideyseth]

Jim is a classic actor. I love his voice!

[@zacharysalazar7800]

Great episode! Keep up the good work Mr. Taylor. I'll be sharing your videos as much as possible.

[@JATactor]

Zachary Salazar thx!!!

[@rhyanbennett2629]

I frigging love Hondo.

[@Darkgreenfangirl]

Thank you so much for doing these. The Clone Wars is my favorite cartoon, and it is a big part of my life. I love these so much and I can't wait to see more conversations

[@naydenlover]

Iam loving these episodes!!!! Loved Hondo so much he was one of my fav supporting characters so many great lines!!! I love the line "You're welcome, I am gone, I will send for my things!" Also I think it was Hondo's episode in S2 where his little pet monkey was voiced by Matt lanter for that episode. Looking forward to more clone wars conversations

[@alorindanya]

I extremely miss Star Wars Weekends. I was there for Jim's visit. I have the video up on my youtube channel titled Star Wars Weekends 2013: Star Wars Voices, May 26th, 2013 at the 12:00pm show. I kind of had a crush on Jim Cummings when I was 13-14 years old when he was the voice of Drake Mallard and Officer Pickle on Bonkers.

[@TheNIDAN17]

Hondo as the Artful Dodger is so perfect

[@BlueSkiesXXV]

Only just finished watching 'The Clone Wars' recently and this idea for a show is a GREAT way to keep it alive. This episode was just AWESOME!!! Would love to see you have a conversation with Clancy Brown :)

[@redj3di781]

Thank you so much Mr. Taylor! This is awesome! I love finding out about the actors behind the voices. I love this video, I cried laughing at parts. The "Oliver Twist" scene is priceless. Very well done and I look forward to more conversations.

[@thecrb1579]

I remember when this came out last year, i was in the maui airport waiting for my flight. I was crazy anxious cause i don't like flying and this came out at the perfect moment to calm my anxiety. Thank you for this. I come back to it every so often to try and get that voice down

[@starwarssyl1177]

This was absolutely delightful! I love that you're continuing with reading passages from old literature, those passages in these voices definitely make my life better. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Queenmoreta]

love it! can't wait to see who will converse next :D.

[@Iybraesil]

My favorite Hondo scene will always be when he forgives his group for betraying him because "that's what we do". So so good.

[@TheRealComicBookGamer]

This is such a cool series I love it!

[@njtruman5861]

Another wonderful episode! I can't get over these readings at the end. All the things I never knew I wanted until now. Thank you so much for putting this together--keep up the good work!

[@JeffrevinYT]

"I don't think I've ever said this before..." "This is the right place to do it." > pause "It's my bad Yul Brynner." > internet implodes 21:28 "Waiter! We would like some ham, some cheese, some bread, and maybe one of those boom-boom-boom things." Your face _lit_ up at that, as did mine. Jim Cummings is BRILLIANT.

[@Chris-986]

Another great show James! Miss the Clone Wars so much!

[@Hgdrifter]

I heard Jim's voice in a quest in World of Warcraft and he basically doing Hondo. Couldn't see the npc the same way again. It was just Hondo the whole time I was with that character.

[@bryanandersonmt]

He's AMAZING!

[@Redfivee]

Fantastic episode James.I love seeing your guys perform,such a treat.I can't believe in 13 months a change it will be the 10th Anniversary of the movie.Hopefully you can do something big on Aug 15th,2018.

[@PadawanAR]

Taylor DePetris yes Joe's art is such a wonderful bonus to the show!! And yes, both have been reached out to and will be on in the coming months.
