Kit fisto is a species from a water world. He's a natural in the water. And lightsabers don't work to well in water. In the phantom menace, Obi-wan couldn't take out the droid chasing him when they met jar jar cause his lightsaber didn't work. He landed in water or was hiding in water. In this arc, their sabers were specifically modified to work in water, which means a lower energy output. Kinda like a training saber or stun round.

[@NinaKleven]

I know that 😤

[@taxevasion8178]

7:08 I think the violence they have towards the mon Cala really fits the implication is that the mon Cala have been oppressing them for years and when they finally fight back they would have some serious hate

[@badmobilegaming9508]

This was one of my favorite arcs in clone wars. and scuba clones are definitely underrated and we should have seen more of them

[@seanduffy5877]

i think the "fluff" of andor is what made it so good, it really let you get a feel for it as a world and get attached to characters as real people which is what made it so unique when compared to most other star wars content

[@ivanevseev7994]

Quick comment on Andor; Andor was great, at first, I didn’t get why they made so many build up episodes, but when the big moment hit in the finale, I understood. If you watch carefully each episode, they all show you the characters and what they’re personally going through and it makes you connect with the characters. Also, there’s is an incredible amount of detail, from the intro music adding instruments to amplify the awakening of the rebellion and war with the rhythmic drums to every little look on a character’s face makes you understand the “ambiance in the room”. All this makes you just connect even deeper with the characters and brings a lot more impact to the finale. Anyway, I said quick comment but wrote an essay😂 If you read this, may God bless your family and yourself

[@mamstarstorm]

Yeah it was brutal how Tampson killed his victims from biting the leg off from a clone trooper to literally disintegrating people in the final episode for the arc.

[@TopsyTriceratops]

I think using the idea of a "water jedi" through Kit Fisto was awesome, not to mention how charismatic he was. This and the mini-episode series makes it infuriating how easily he got killed off. Loved the CGI versions of him more, more expressive and detailed.

[@Sparten7F4]

I think the lightsabers are having more difficulties cutting because they're so deep underwater. It's cold and wet, and the lightsaber isn't in contact with a lot long enough to cut as well.

[@Ryan.2]

You know, there was a Mon Calamari short in the old 2d Clone Wars show that had Kit Fisto and these aqua troops. So it was awesome to see them do this again but on a bigger scale.

[@devo1977s]

I always loved this arc, especially when the gungans show up 😂. Andor is like a Book if you rush through the first half of the book and get to the good parts you will still have to go back to understand wtf is going on, I've had to go back and re-watch other series multiple times because they jumped right into it and speed run through the development of the plot, Andor is perfect because you know exactly what is going on and why it's happening when it finally happens

[@Jack-ql7cj]

I don’t know why but I think this might have been my least favorite arc in the clone wars, each time the next episode came I was like “why are we still here” but hey it’s apparently other’s favorites so good for you

[@sergioescobar1391]

I really hope you consider finishing this arc, we haven't even gotten to the parts with the Gungan reinforcements, the Trident ship whirlpool, and by far one of the best villain deaths in the entire series.

[@viperson9818]

This was a rly cool arc with an absolute beast of a villain. One of the few seperatist commanders that joins the battle and is an savage while doing so.

[@megacharmaster9707]

I liked this ark because of the underwater aspect, it was completely different than anything we’d seen. Also who else felt that Riff Tamsan’s death was satisfying.

[@Stormy_Boi]

I just love how the aqua droids just spin their lil feet to move

[@marceloaugusto9787]

Mon Calamari was probaly the most brutal arc, for a kid's show, it is really strange seeing that lot of bites and stabs

[@tianoc-g4811]

That's funny, this is one of my favorite arcs in the Clone Wars. This is we see prince Lee-char goes through a similar leadership Arc that Simba went through, Ahsoka showing her development as she gives advice help him, to see Captain Ackbar in this Prime fighting through the clone wars ;Lastly I actually like the villain, multiple water fighters , and two weapons take advantage of the terrain.

[@theduckscp]

One thing I thought of and I feel like its mentioned at some point in the series though I cant be sure. Is that jedi need to make a modification to there sabers to have them work under water. Perhaps that makes them somewhat weaker hence why it seems like there not slicing through anything. I could also just be completely wrong or thinking of something from legends.

[@faceless747]

Ok why are droids under water if one dies like both the armies get electrocuted

[@MasterSam911]

Pointing out that Kit-Fisto move with the Force-push cross ty, would be perfect as a Character unique power in a Star wars Battlefront-Like game

[@christianbryan6961]

17:29 I just realized that when the building begins to fall/sink, the Hydroid Medusas get sucked towards it.

[@lukethegoldenminecart1297]

I think Fisto's species can breathe air and breathe underwater so naturally he's essential for underwater battles so he doesn't need air underwater to concentrate to use the force

[@silenttuber4801]

The reason I think Ani couldn't use the force is cus air is less dense than water and it would take a lot more effort and power

[@willthepenguin1898]

In regards to the lightsabers bouncing off stuff there’s a theory that they have a sharp and dull edge and so that’s why sometimes we see them bounce off stuff. It would be harder to alight the edge underwater too.

[@disruptedfear4909]

I love this arc because it really helps the gungans shine the gungans are my favorite aliens species and jar jar just makes everyone shit on them but they’re actually dope fighters especially under water

[@wetwillyis_1881]

I remember this Separatist General, scaring the shit out of me, as a kid. This was such a great arch, and I’m glad we got to see a good mix of the war and the politics, in just a few episodes. It really reminds me of OG Clone Wars, from 2003.

[@Guygo567]

Fun fact: this is actually the first episode in clone wars to future the phase II armor

[@NathanWakeman]

I think the reason the light sabers don't work as well is because they are under water.

[@bastiaanvanes5666]

There is a theory why sometimes lightsabers slice and sometimes not, because like a normal sword it has a sharp and not sharp side, but it’s so bright that you can’t see that

[@cameroncunningham2402]

11:25 the lightsabers are slightly defective underwater sometimes, because they are designed for oxygen/gas filled spaces. Kit Fisto has a special lightsaber for this purpose.

[@YeeterzYT6259]

The time kit fisto rammed a droid was like me as a barc speeder in battlefront 2, although I died after ramming the droid

[@johnmcintosh631]

I feel like that since lightsabers are constantly evaporating maybe it lessens the power of the light saber.

[@curiousguyontheinternet9023]

Not to mention, normal lightsabers would likely short-circuit at the handle if submerged for too long.

[@Qualnias]

Lightsabers do not have do be lethal. Training sabers usually cannot cut. Also, if you look at the sabers under water, if they were hot enough to cut with each little slash it would boil the water around them. They look like they are on a lower power mode that will still cut if sufficient kinetic energy is added to the swing. Which is why they can deflect blasters well, still, but function more like bludgeoning weapons clubbing their way through this particular battle. Sure, you see some light superficial cuts, but for the most part only power strikes can cut which are hard to do underwater with no leverage.

[@Random_Stuff_1.0]

This arc was actually a horror movie for me when I was a kid.

[@oli_parker04]

I’ve just noticed that captain Rex is still in his phase 1 where as the troopers beside him is in phase 2 armour

Clone wars/ andor got things figured out man. Locks us in and keeps things interesting. Love it!

[@alexmanoglou13]

I don't remember the name of the battle, I'm sure it didn't go on for long but the battle when Ventirss (how ever you spell her name) joined the Sisters, and Dooku and Grevious invaded the home and killed everyone. and they tried assassinating Dooku, that might be a cool little episode.

You know that when Michael post it's gonna be good, also I just recently watched this episode and it's great.

[@bobafett4617]

[@lordwintertown8284]

G'day Michael Jae, So one thing I've always noticed in this episode that this is technically the first episode we see standard clone soldiers fielding using Phase II armour (besides that one hologram is S3). Now back to watching the vid might edit this comment afterwards.

[@jacobmariscal7457]

I know I'm late but in the star war lore regular light Saber can not work under water so kitfitso (I know probably got his name wrong) found and ancient lightsaber blue prints which were designed to work underwater but he had of failed out put of the plasma of the blade until we get what we see now sadly to work under water they lose allot of the cutting power

[@richardivory606]

Also to add. Kit Fisto is the best. No argument. Are you uploading Episode 3 of the Water War Arc?

[@Salted_Pumpkin]

The Andor take was so cold

[@taxevasion8178]

This is actually my second favourite arc I’m glad you did this

[@JamesTupa-i7y]

Anikin grew up on a desert planet which means very little swimming experience if any. Kit Fisto is from a water planet where his species can breathe under water.

[@olafscholzgaming2761]

physical error: If a lightsaber is so hot that you can cut almost anything with it, it should be the case that if it is in the water, all the water around the lightsaber evaporates. a whirlpool would be created, making it impossible to use. Sorry for my bad English

[@qaq554]

When kit blows up the jellyfish thing and smiles it reminded me of Sidon from Breath of the Wild

[@trentonmiller4366]

A cool battle to cover next is back in season 1 when Yoda and the 3 clones fight all the battle droids vs ventress

[@NoahN8tor782]

I remember when I lived in Texas I watched this arc and the Umbaran arc after school on Fridays on Cartoon Network

[@dislikecounter5191]

There was a flash game with fisto underwater that tied in with the 2003 cartoon Never notice the double bonk and throw away

I used to play that 👀 that's all I could think about watching this arc

[@mattshelton7423]

11:38 I mean, Anakin did grow up on a desert planet, so I don’t think he’d be very graceful underwater😂

[@zebfirehd9102]

I mean it makes sense why the prince isn't that great. "He just lost his Father." probably way to earlier too. He sounds very young to me probably hasn't at all how many lessons about leadership yet or even so less time actually being a leader. That honestly makes him feel more real as a character that can be related to since he's inherit a title he wasn't prepare for and is thrust into responsibility.

If you can get your hands on the disc's could you react to the special features talking about the development of some of these episodes/battles?

6:51 - 6:51 that was actually ackbar as you should be able to see "why didnt it slice clean through" probably because its underwater and the lightsabers have been modified. there probably alot weaker now though

[@secondarytrollaccount]

Those clones and non aquatic aliens fighting probably had years of deco from fighting for so long on the bottom of an ocean. There's no telling how deep they are but when ahsoka and the clones drop in the water and start to head down you can't see the bottom. If you're diving irl at depths of 500 feet or below for every minute you're at depth you can add close to an hour of decompression time in the water or you'll get the bends and likely die. Not to mention nitrogen narcosis making everything hard af to do.
