When Rex says “Jesse got you pretty good” and then Jesse saying “sorry commander” really hits me hard

[@Ryiszz]

It’s super cool too because it’s a moment in time we literally never see, this is a brief period which seems to be between the clone wars movie and the first season. Jesse doesn’t have any paint at all on his armor.

[@LordSaull]

Making anakins tough training the thing that saves Ashoka is so fulfilling. Makes so much sense why most Jedi died cuz the troopers are just that good

[@captain_commenter8796]

I absolutely LOVED all the Count Dooku related episodes! Sure some people may be pissed that they retcon some good novels and comics, but each episode helped make his turn to the dark make more sense. And that Yaddle v Dooku fight was absolutely *AMAZING!*

[@darkneon5637]

Truly magnificent

[@capstonecowboy1850]

Don’t think it’s a retcon. It’s rough, but you can fit Dooku being at the temple in Ep 4 with the Novel “Padawan”.

[@rhodrage]

In the second episode, Dooku mentions that Jedi don't expect to be attacked by people they trust. Which really makes Order 66 Hit harder. And also explains why some Jedi sensed it about to happen, the ones who trusted the clones the most died quicker.

[@minetieplays2092]

Congrats to Bryce giving Yaddle her first onscreen words, now technically she is the canon voice for her

[@liamphibia]

RIP

[@Inv4drz]

13:00 a detail you missed is as Dooku and Yaddle are walking away, Dooku walks in the shadows while Yaddle walks in the light, foreshadowing Dooku's turn to the Darkside, similar to Ep.3 when Anakin and Obi Wan say farewell to each other as friends for the last time before Obi Wan goes off to confront Grievous and Anakin Stands in the shadows while Obi Wan stands in the light

[@starwarsunlimiteduniverse]

*Dooku's shift from Jedi Master to the darkside was perfect with how things just caused him to make up his mind about which side he wanted to be on. His, "Master Jedi" response to Mace Windu when talking to him about Mace being placed on the Council, is one of my favorite moments in the three episodes of this series. Sheesh. I loved all six episodes all the way & I hope that we get more from this series like a Tales of the Sith maybe featuring my favorite Darth Bane or other stories. Truly hoping that happens.*

[@draagax]

Tales of the Sith for re-introducing Bane after his cameo in Clone Wars.

[@cammoore___]

Tales From The Galaxy, so you could do Jedi, Sith, Civilian, Soldier, etc. themed episodes. I'd love to see a slice of life episode from just a random person who loves in a world where Jedi just exist, and see how life is there.

[@liamphibia]

It's safe to say that Tales of the Jedi DESERVES a second season.

[@Berelis_]

I literally just finished Tales of the Jedi and thought to myself "strange, they still haven't made a video about it" 😅

[@kookiemonster3126]

ikr? xD i finished it few days ago and was wondering the same thing

[@randywest3027]

We should consider that Yoda may have been raised on his own Planet while yaddle being younger could have been raised on Coruscant or somewhere else.

[@douglasmarshall6949]

I think someone said that Yoda's speech patterns were due to his age; he's been around long enough to see grammar change

[@taejo4975]

@@douglasmarshall6949 This would make a lot of sense tbh, people from 5 centuries ago wouldn’t speak like how we do today for most cases

[@deanjones843]

Maybe it’s the male of the species that speaks that way and the females speak normally

[@NickLeeTTV]

I believe yoda does it on purpose to make sure the person is actually Listening and understanding

[@charleskey6339]

Dave has now said that Frank Oz told him that yoda's speaking pattern was to honor his master. So possibly the way a different species speaks

[@chillgalaxy5915]

I also noticed dooku walking into a darkish hallway compared to yadel who was walking towards a well lit hallway. This could be another way of showing Dooku’s turn to the dark side

[@parkereyerman8678]

I noticed that too. Was gonna comment that til I saw your post

[@vlogsgamesandpranks9007]

Im pretty sure its mentioned in the movies or somewhere that Dooku was yodas apprentice meaning it goes yoda

[@dreadsocialistroberts]

In AToC when Yoda and Dooku face each other.

[@2.0_eric64]

I feel in the next season they should explore more behind Dooku and the creation of grievous as well as behind the scenes of grievous at the Battle of Geonosis. They did amazing for this first season and hope they do even better the next!

[@Eyrothath]

I would like to see a Palpatine story pre-Sith or better yet Darth Plagueis

[@ioncewasmikey]

Grievous was at the Battle of Geonosis?

[@2.0_eric64]

@@ioncewasmikey yes he was in the battle helping get separatist onto ships and fighting Clones behind the scenes

[@emmadictator4062]

At Master Katri's funeral, Plo Koon seems to be wearing armour on his lower arms, like gauntlets. I always thought Jedi only did this during the Clone Wars. I know in the Clone Wars, a lot of Jedi wore this kind of armour, even well known Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu, but I don't recall ever seeing that before the time of Attack of the Clones, or even The Phantom Menace.

[@ioncewasmikey]

This might go along with what Voss pointed out about Obi-Wan's hair during that training scene... they might have gotten a little mixed up as to what assets should appear when. Or maybe Filoni has reasons for both these things, seems likely they're just mistakes though.

[@OTGGaming0594]

3:29 the mondrils atop their heads also give them an extra sensory perception of sorts. This is why Togruta Jedi are always such great sensory types i.e: Jedi Sages and Jedi Shadows

[@johankooistra9332]

TALES OF THE JEDI really struck me, it's absolutely amazing. Thanks for the beakdown!

[@louisavalos8268]

The Dooku story was amazing

[@RadioJosiah]

Anybody else notice yet that Yaddle's ship was a modified Mini-Rig from the vintage toyline? It was the PDT-8 (Personnel Deployment Transport). This and an X-Wing were the only vintage ships I had as a kid, and I'd know that profile anywhere.

[@ioncewasmikey]

That's awesome! I need to compare them as I'm not super familiar with all the mini rigs, but that's a deep cut Easter Egg you spotted. This comment deserves more attention.

[@Boaz_Dadon]

I love how they gave Yaddle's character more depth

[@tracyschaber]

Don't skip the animated series! I really like how they actually give you a story before you even get to the opening credits. I am amazed how much information that they packed into each episode! Short, sweet to the absolute point!

i love how they keep setting up anakin as the key to the rebellion forming and the fall of the empire!🙂

[@luciuswalker8578]

I never really thought that Sidious really bought into the Rule of Two, especially it's true intentions. The Rule of Two was meant to limit the number of Siths to prevent infighting to guarantee their victory. It also was meant where when the student finally defeats their master, it was meant to be in a fair fight to make sure that only the strong remain and the cycle would continue. However, Sidious himself violates the integrity and spirit of the rule by: 1) Whacking his master while he was vulnerable. (Either he offed him in his sleep or while he was drunk or something). 2) He took on or allowed multiple Sith apprentices after Maul (Dooku, Ventress, the Inquisitors) and made sure that none of them could ever surpass him. 3) Later on he would eventually try to (re?)establish the Rule of One. So in short, he's a true Sith in a way where he didn't really care about the rules and played by his own.

[@georgeweir4537]

Loved this mini series, The only nit picks I had were that, I wish Sifo Dyas was given a prominent role and further explained, and I would have loved to have a Jango Fett cameo perhaps a scene where he’s being recruited and/or cloned, overall though loved it and Ian Mcdiarmid’s return as the one and only Papa Palps😂

[@zachclawges6932]

I think Ahsoka's test takes place right after meeting Anakin. I think the outfit and Obi-Wan's hair are retcons. It would also explain why Anakin's hair is shorter than in the Clone Wars too

[@fighterck6241]

Yeah I think it is a retcon. That always bothered me about Ahsoka's early clothing. It was essentially a tube top. Not very practical at all.

[@Da77leraz]

Did anyone else notice how the sliding door of the building where Dooku and Sidius meet looks sorta like a sharp-toothed evilly smiling mouth? And how the door crushed yaddle, symbolizing the Jedi order being “consumed” by darkness and the Sith? I’m sure it was an intentional design choice.

[@CalobAdamsInfamous913]

I loved this series!! I wish there were 6 more episodes!! We need longer seasons!

[@andiparker3733]

I am surprised we saw nothing of Plo Koon in this series (apart from seeing him in the background) as he is known to be Filoni's favourite Jedi... 🤔 Hopefully we'll see some more of him if they make a second season 😎😁

[@JisinthebayGaming]

I did see a detail you guys missed. After Qui Gon leaves and Dooku and Yaddle finish speaking, they move in separate directions in the hallway. Dooku towards a shadowed part of the hallway and Yaddle towards a sunlight part of the hallway. Signifying Dooku’s movement to the darkside

[@TheAhole42]

I don't like how you didn't mention the 6th brothers hood and mask deflating after Ahsoka took his head. I feel that was important.

[@tobot303]

Maybe it wasn't...

[@TheAhole42]

Or maybe it was...

[@Nimoodles]

@@tobot303 The 6th Brother was a former Jedi, and the only people who turn to air after their death during this era, are Jedi. Yes, it's a significant detail to gloss over.

[@tobot303]

@@Nimoodles Dooku didn't disappear when he died and we only saw the mask but no neck stump like how Jango Fett's helmet fell off. And Qui Gon didn't either and he was part of this era.

[@jovankandola]

We definitely need multiple more seasons of this show

[@craigwebb9318]

GOD THESE EPISODES WAS SO EMOTIONAL 😭

[@tallerwarrior1256]

I feel like Yoda’s unique speech is due to how much older he is. His prime was during the High Republic, an era where Jedi acted more as Knights similar to the days of King Arthur, so it makes sense that yoda talks as Luke says “in riddles” as it’s a way of speaking lost to time.

[@masterofmastersmaster2991]

This series was amazing! Hope there is more to come!

[@itsliamsmith]

That BEN caught me out and I laughed way more than I should have 😂

[@PressStartFonzie]

I didnt catch that the hay driod planet was the same as the one Dooku helped free in episode 2. Everything he did wasn't evil. Even in his worst times, it created a path for Ashoka to follow and survive.

[@jjjooppp]

Surely this short, 6 episode mini-series couldn’t hurt me. Impossible!

[@TheSonicBros1]

21:06 this was so funny for no reason

[@dylankoch1757]

Two things: one) I loved the reference to National Lampoon's: Christmas Vacation. That made my day lmao Two) I can't be the only one who remembered that one scene from the Miracle on Ice movie while Anakin had Ahsoka train against the Clones (You'll know what I'm talking about if you've seen the movie)

I loved this series so much too ! Anakin & Ahsoka , it tears at me ! No other two characters impact my feelings more ! Well done Voss !

[@MarcusRandolph]

I absolutely LOVED this series, the episodes were all good but each one left me wanting MORE! These leaving me excited for Visions S2 which I hope has more cannon stories like these this time around.

[@katearcher8514]

I'd say Visions are not meant to be canon, it's like SW What If.

[@draagax]

@@katearcher8514 What If is actually Canon in the MCU though. They're part of the multiverse. Visions is just a little fun thing, not canon.

[@tjk-goix8513]

Obi-Wan's long hair is called the Kenobi-mullet

[@Echo_Isles]

I've seen the progression of of Yoda > Dooku > Jinn > Kenobi > Skywalker > Tano referred to as The Disaster Lineage. This seems apt to me. Of course, that makes Anakin and Luke Skywalker training siblings, and if you consider how Luke's first padawan (Ben Solo) turned out, I think Luke and Solo should be considered a branch of the Disaster Lineage Family Tree. Let's hope Grogu doesn't follow the 'family' tradition of either falling to the dark side or training someone who will.

[@BitoyV3]

For those keeping score, that's 3 villains Mace Windu has helped create: Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and now Count Dooku.

[@truthseeker6713]

I would say no, since Obi Wan didn’t know and thought Anakin to not be alive. What makes you wonder this?

[@WolfRamAndHart]

This might be the first SW cartoon Ive seen...Disney+ has more cred now that Andor is so good. But I had previously seen one episode- the finale when Order 66 was issued in Clone Wars. Which ties directly with Part 5 of Tales. (And reminiscent of Kill Bill Vol. 2) Now I might be checking out more SW cartoons.

[@RbkARI]

If you like this show, I bet you'll love Clone Wars. Rebels is also great.

[@AlisonThePrairieDog]

Clone Wars is one of my favorite SW screen projects of all time. I like it better than many of the movies, personally. If you liked this, I highly recommend giving it a go. And it gets better and better each season. Rebels is pretty good too.
