@@samuelbishop3316 You have to train a padawan through to knighthood in order to earn the rank of master. Therefore, every Master was entrusted with a padawan when they were a knight; at least one apprentice they have trained has to pass the Trials. This was also the reason why people were put off by the idea of Anakin having a padawan. Anakin being denied the rank of master in Ep. III was such a big deal, this seemed to be a contradiction of that. The kicker is that everyone *assumed* that Ahsoka would eventually pass her trials. She left just before she was knighted, therefore Anakin hadn't technically trained his first padawan through to knighthood, and therefore hadn't earned the rank of master.

I also recommend the Thrawn trilogy of books even though they're no longer canon theyre a blast and still the blueprint for Thrawns character.

You’re right..really well done...made me want to watch the rest

I love The Clone Wars, but it's not in chronological order (who knows why), go with a pre-sorted list

@@werdle92 No, it’s much easier for people to understand things with the list that is preseneted by the Star Wars website to be the best way to see it. It just flows better and easier to grasp.

[@get-off-the-account]

I heard a story what the show isn't in chronological order because when Geroge was working kn the show he would just write random stories that he found good he didn't really care for a chronological order of episodes but there are lists out there that do show the chronological order

yeah this video shows exactly how much holden DOESNT know about star wars universe i myself didn't watch much of the clone wars and rebels but I still know most of the lore and and reasoning to enjoy these 2 episodes and know exactly what the dark Saber means to mandalore and ashoka tano's main plot points and I was so disappointed there was not much of reaction to thrawn's name drop

The butterflies have meaning too, they are a allusion to a comic where Darth Vader meditates and the good within him manifests as blues butterflies.

[@thomasmccrudden2005]

"I've only known one other being like this" Surely she should've at least KNOWN of yaddle??

[@creaturefeaturecosplay]

I thought that too, but I think it makes sense. She might have known about Yaddle, since Ahsoka would probably have been a youngling at the temple during Episode I, but it's very possible she barely remembers, if she never actually met her. People don't necessarily remember teachers from like their elementary school if they didn't have that teacher.

[@andreasbuscheskesennielsen3655]

Well then it's lucky she didn't say "I've only known of one other being like this"

[@creaturefeaturecosplay]

Yup, there's a difference between "known"and "known of".

[@zagger_]

If my memory serves me correctly, Yaddle died when Ahsoka was a toddler or just before she was brought to the Temple. That's being slightly generous with her age at the time of the clone wars movie

There are lists of the "most important" episodes of Clone Wars if you aren't wanting to watch through 7 whole seasons.

Jen's pop culture Rolodex is amazing. Temura is dude from speed 2 and Ming Na is Dr. Chen from ER for her. Those are what first come to mind. Hilarious.

[@nerdywriterkat]

I'm getting caught up on these reactions (loving them!) and I totally geeked out when she said Dr. Chen! That's what I first knew her as, long before Mulan, Melinda May (Agents of SHIELD) and now Fennec Shand. Ming-Na Wen is the coolest!

[@xenon_eleven]

You NEED to watch the Clone Wars and Rebels. Please

[@grizz8217]

Should I cause I’m on season 1 it’s a little bit boring should I keep watching

[@xenon_eleven]

@@grizz8217 100% tbh you've probably got the first three seasons to wade through before it starts getting really good but you kind of need the first 3 for it all to make sense, there are some odd arcs in the later seasons that aren't great but in general it starts to get good in season 4 and then 5, 6 and 7 are awesome

[@MaccamatBux]

yall need to watch Rebels after The Clone Wars, not just The Clone Wars.

[@lbczaccdisi]

Love how informative and friendly your community is in the comments!!

[@s.souless3511]

I'm so happy you guys liked my girl 😭😭😭. Clone Wars starts off very childish and has some horrific side story episodes but the main story stuff is f***ing fantastic and Ahsoka is my favorite. Rebels will explain where she was! Also. The actor playing Boba played Jango Fett and all of the Clones in episode 2 and 3.

[@ndn_warroir]

She was off doing stuff in Rebels during the OG trilogy

[@franzxiya]

Right. As she has more to do with the ghost crew than the main rebellion.

[@5trider29]

It comes with a heavy heart that I just learned, Jeremy Bulloch, the original Boba Fett, has passed. Today we lost the best bounty hunter in the galaxy 😥💔 First Vader, now Boba. One of the best characters in the SW universe.

[@Karper5049]

Rest In Peace

[@rubeng370]

Honestly, they got to redeem Boba Fett in live action for not doing much on screen in the originals and getting a glimpse at Jango for 1 movie. I also find Boba more intimidating without the helmet :D

[@EB7-c7f]

That's one of the big issues I've got with the OT is how boring and disappointing Boba Fett is and no disrespect to Wingreen or Bulloch at all either because it's not their fault at all for how badly he was written and they did well with what they were told to do but it's constantly overlooked how Boba Fett had 2 movies and didn't do anything significant and just stuck out like a flower and gets owned by a blind Han Lol

[@MTTT19]

Seeing Ahsoka and Mando team up was kind of a kin to a Samurai teaming up with a Cowboy. You know what, that would be a cool movie.

[@Saimeren]

2:30 at the end of the Attack of the Clones Anakin gets promoted to Jedi Knight for his part in the battle of Geonosis. In Episode 3, he's a full fledged Jedi Knight. He and Obi-Wan still go on missions together simply because they work well together and have a great rapport with one another. (You'll notice he doesn't have the Padawan braid in episode 3.) So The Clone Wars T.V show shows Anakin as a Jedi Knight, and he was given Ahsoka as his Padawan. This is why Anakin was so distraught when Mace refused to make him a Master. Anakin had been a Jedi Knight for several years, participated and won many battles in the Clone Wars, and even trained a capable Padawan. He felt he deserved the title if he were to be put on the council.

[@forestmoriarty2932]

I love seeing “not huge fans” watch and dissect Star Wars.

[@3DSte1985]

Thrawn is from Rebels, he was originally a huge expanded universe character. You need to watch Rebels and Clone Wars.

[@cracktober780]

"Oh now they're just making up stuff".....The Clone Wars and Rebels fans -_-'

[@SalarianSpectre]

Ahsoka is a Jedi in every single way other than title. She is basically a Jedi. She could have trained grogu and she was going to try, however, she decided not to whenever she felt the bond between him and Din. Also, Anakin was promoted to a Jedi knight near the beginning of the clone wars. He was a Jedi Knight whenever Ahsoka was assigned to him.

[@keeganhurley119]

Jen. Thank you for your hilarious facial recognitions during your guys videos.

[@cannedpaint]

Anakin was Ahsoka’s master, but Obi-Wan was also very heavily involved in her training.

[@jacobplourde2388]

Eh not really they just went on a lot of mission and fought in a lot of battles together.

It’s not their fault, they haven’t seen the shows, but bruh they need to stop giving Ahsoka flack for not being in the OT. You’ll learn my friends, you’ll learn

You should really watch the clone wars and star wars rebels you would understand all the side character cameos and reasons why theyre here a lottttt more

[@mikelnelson1038]

Non spoilers info: Grand Admiral Thrawn - written in the books years ago. Empire Admiral. He was in the Rebels series. Big bad genius. Ashoka - trained by Jedi KNIGHT Anakin, doesn't really consider herself a Jedi, but her story is honestly the best (he technically was awarded knighthood after Episode 2 Attack of the Clones, but he's commonly seen with Obi-Wan. You can see in the Clone Wars series his little Padawan thin braid is gone)

[@thelastcanofwhohash8047]

Grand Admiral Thrawn was main villain in the 1991 Book series Heir to the Empire. Which was decanonized by disney. Thrawn was a fan favorite removing him pissed off a lot of people. The writer came back several years ago to write a new trilogy of the character. Now you can imagine the excitement for the possibility of him being live action.
