Married Couple REACTION to Star Wars Clone Wars 2003 2D Micro-Series Vol. 1 // First Time Watching!

[@wangchung2157]

Lucas has stated in a few interviews about this show that this is how he originally wanted to portray the Jedi but the limitations of film held him back which is why originally Lucasfilm approached several anime companies about making this show but was turned down. Also Mace Windus special technique is called Shatterpoint and its a real Jedi power, Mouse Company just likes to pretend they are the end all be all when it comes to canon. Fun fact the name of the jedi that Greivous crushes is named Shaggi, no lie.

[@CaptainCFalcon]

Actually it's spelt Shaa'Gii so it's not *_completely_* on the nose about it lol.

[@AshanBhatoa]

Is that genuinely the case? Because it contradicts what he has to assert in AOTC. May you source the interviews?

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

​@@CaptainCFalcon *_ACTUALLY,_* it's Sha'a Gi.

[@gabethebabe3337]

@@AshanBhatoa If you're talking about the Superman quote this still aligns with his belief. George didn't want EVERY Jedi to be absurdly powerful. If you need an idea on George's scale of reference on of his favorite comics is Dark Empire, the one where Palpatine knows essence transfer can the ability to create wormholes that can obliterate super star destroyers. In early drafts of Star Wars Jedi didn't have any powers at all. Once he decided on adding the Force he decided that it did in fact influence and enhance warriors in combat. People simple misquote George or take his quotes out of context when it suits them to bash the prequels or the superior old Expanded Universe.

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

@@gabethebabe3337This is exactly why Sha’a Gi had to be killed off. He would have become far too powerful if he had lived. He didn’t stay dead, though. He reincarnated in our universe and is now a KZbinr called “The Shaggy Sabersmith”.

Correction: The R4 Astromech droid who serves Anakin and destroyed by Ventress here is R4-P22, while Obi-Wan’s R4 Astromech droid who has been with him from AOTC to ROTS is R4-P17.

[@nerdymarriedcouple]

thanks for your comment and for clarifying!! rip R4-P22 😭

[@nickelakon5369]

One of the things that this mini series did a good job of showing without telling is how the distrust and lack of faith in anakin drove him away from the jedi, while palpatine shows him praise and values his skills. It really makes Anakin trusting palpatine make way more sense than it did in the movies alone, because he seems to be the only person on anakin's side, at least from his perspective.

The guy who voices Anakin in this micro series is named Matt Lucas and he actually voiced Anakin in several Star Wars works in the early and mid 2000’s, most notably the Revenge Of The Sith video game and Battlefront 2 (both games were my childhood, played them a lot of the PlayStation 2)

[@mildanvongrius5530]

The way the speed of Mace Windu is going, is exactly why he can keep up with Darth Sidious.

[@MichaelParthum]

Anakin and Ventress fought on the moon of Yavin IV, the future home of the Rebellion.

Yavin IV is also the final resting grounds of Ancient Dark Lords of the Sith Naga Sadow,Freedon Nadd and Exar Kun.

[@dunringill1747]

This series should always be watched right after SW 2 & before SW 3, for proper story development. When originally aired, this was OFFICIAL CANON as declared by George Lukas. Lukas loved these 5 minute shorts (Vol. 1) so much that he formed another contract with Genndy Tartakovsky for Vol. 2. The Vol. 2 contract allowed for 15 minute episodes, giving each episode more story telling depth. It gave us the complete setup between the SW2 & SW3 movies. When the later 3D series began, Lukas declared it to be a continuation of the Tartakovsky series. Things change over time. The Tartakovsky series was retconned into being non-canon.

[@maltesefalcon85]

to be fair it worked all the way up to the siege of mandalore if you ignore the grievous stuff

@@maltesefalcon85 I'm aware of that. It still doesn't mesh with what we're shown in the Tartakovsky cartoon and its subsequent related material, in which Anakin is Knighted in the last year of the war. The Knighting Ceremony itself is not remotely the same either.

[@matthewberg5835]

by far the best clone wars ever

[@evil_chuck]

R-4 is a specific series of astromech droid. There are many like them, because they are mass-produced. Like R2-D2, it is a different model, prior to R4. In the lore they are made by a multigalactic company called Automaton.

[@aceambling7685]

Pre TCW clones are best clones. They felt like elite soldiers, not comic book characters. No inhibitor chips either, they didn't have to be mind controlled to do Order 66, they had their own reasons for hating the Jedi, largely the Jedi's incompetence and callousness as battlefield commanders (the Jedi are diplomats and secret police with a pacifist ideology, they have no formal training or experience in warfare. Furthermore, the Jedi "lack of attachment" caused them to be distant and callous towards the clones and their deaths. Even in RotS Obi Wan is shown treating the death of clone pilots as if they were disposable droids. Only Anakin shows concern for their lives, just as only Anakin treats droids as sentient beings).

[@blitzgirl6522]

This series has a special place in my heart, especially with my love for Genndy Tartakovsky's previous works. I just can't get into the CGI series, with all the changes to lore and characters and canon that was made. This is just good fun and made me hype for Grievous (who ended up being a disappointment).

[@lukescrew1981]

[@jesuspernia8031]

Agree, I like it way better than Filoni’s bullshit. Despite how pretty good the CGI show is, Filoni just makes shit so inconsistent.

[@Neofelis131]

This show is way too cool and shows the true power of force users to be considered canon. Disney likes weak force users.

[@shugaroony]

As does Lucas, he never wanted force users to be able to create black holes etc.

[@MrJamaigar]

Next thing they'll do is use the force to make their enemies burst like baloons. 😂 Not a pretty way to go.

For a cartoon, the visual cinematography is incredible, as well as the sound design.

Fun Fact: This show was more popular on other languages because the voice acting was objectively better.

[@92Beyo]

Yeah, Anakin's original voice is.....odd, to say the least. I for one watched it in German.

[@nickelakon5369]

There is a false narrative that grievous' characterization was changed from this because "star wars is for kids, so we want a silly, cowardly schemer villian" The real reason George Lucas chose to change grievous is far simpler He simply felt that grievous would just be thought of as "Darth Vader but in white/gray"

[@MrJamaigar]

The two of them are cyborgs with a tragic past. That's as far as similarities go.

[@nickelakon5369]

@MrJamaigar that are dangerous combatants that use fear to prey on their enemies. Given how often any amount of comparison can often get things considered to be rip offs of other things I don't really blame George being afraid of that impression

[@MrJamaigar]

@@nickelakon5369 This is how I'd tie 2003 and 2008 Grievous together: Windu crippled him by crushing his ribcage and organs. Grievous was left shell-shocked by this. Enough to become cautious, more willing to retreat when things got out of hand. And especially when fighting a Jedi. (Given that the Jedi are defensive warriors, Windu had to momentarily access the dark side to go for the kill like that. That was the difference between a troubled person like Anakin, and a full-fledged Master in control of their emotions. It's probably why Anakin never got to become a Master.)

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

@@MrJamaigarI mean, purple lightsabers are often used to signify that the user walks on both sides of the Force (Darth Revan, for example). And Windu canonically patented Vaapad, an Alternate version of Lightsaber Form VII “Juyo”. Juyo is known for generally not being utilized by Jedi because it requires the user to tap into the Dark Side.

[@RichardHunslet1963]

The word 'canon' means absolutely nothing. The EU is more canon because George Lucas was involved with it and approved its creation.

[@MrJamaigar]

With Star Wars, Disney has a bit of a 50/50 deal. They alternate between "good" and "crap". After that crappy new trilogy, they somehow produced a good TV show. So, I'd recommend watching The Mandalorian right after Return of the Jedi. Spoiler>/spoiler> Luke shows up later in the show, and they write him right this time: a skilled, powerful, dignified Jedi warrior. As he should be. So, here's hoping they keep this up in Ahsoka, and let him shine alongside her 🤩 (Avoid the Disney Trilogy at all costs) Spoiler>/spoiler>

[@aceambling7685]

Tartakovsky's CW should reasonably be considered more canon than Filoni's TCW. TCW contradicts film canon at times, not to mention how much of Filoni's work simultaneously borrows from and invalidates old EU canon. CW fits almost perfectly into the film and EU canon.
