SEASON 7: THE CLONE WARS - "Victory and Death" REACTION

[@masonworker2670]

The ending is so poetically sad, the Venator crashing, as well as Jesses helmet really hammers home that the Republic has well and truly fallen. For me it was a perfect ending that showed the sadness and hopelessness that the fall of the Republic brought

Hopelessness till the New Hopes arrival

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

@@GothicXlightning This "cold" ending is the contrast to the glimmer of hope that exists at the end of ROTS, with Leia arriving on Alderaan with her new parents (a kind of paradise planet), and Owen and Beru looking out in to the sunset distance, with Luke in their arms, while Obi-Wan watches over them (stark and sandy, yet, in a way, beautiful).

The fact that you didn't enjoy the music is kind of the point. It was never meant to make you feel at ease, the music was meant to make you feel the reality of the situation, the dystopian future for the Jedi, the fall of the Republic, the tragedy of the Clones and the rise of the Empire. You're meant to feel hopeless and depressed because that's exactly what they are feeling so it fits very well.

[@Shewwler]

I think the "Blade Runner" music really worked. It added a sense of expansive profound drama instead of the classic orchestral offering... Also for me as an older guy who remembers the time of Star Wars in the seventies, it heralded back to the age of electronica music provided by such artists as Vangelis, MECO and Walter/Wendy Carlos, which was so popular during that time... It really took me back! Think on this and see if you can reconsider your stance... Good review... Thank you.

[@scott7611]

The only thing I disagree with is the music. I thought the music was very well done and I'm always excited when there is new music that fits well into Star Wars. The ending song with Ahsoka had a strong theme of loss, the feeling that she couldn't save the clones being forced to carry out order 66. Then the transition to the ending music with Vader that had the theme of dread, it played so well into Revenge of the Sith. I personally loved it.

[@nasatheman1227]

9:37 “oh you bastards” my exact reaction

[@seoul08]

The music fits perfectly. It’s just that what it represents is something we all dreaded. The end of the clone wars. Of course it would be great to hear the clone theme or Ashokas theme, but with familiarity comes comfort. This is the end, it’s over. There’s no last hurrah (for the characters), and going back to comfortable/recognizable music would negate the point of the scene. The sendoff shouldn’t be a happy/reminiscent. They don’t have closure. Plus, none of the themes really fit the scene, which is essentially a mass funeral. It would be really out of place to have Ashoka and Rex mourning at the graves of hundreds of their friends and brothers, and then we get an ominous imperial riff or the clone theme. A large orchestral og Star Wars theme would be really out of place with this quiet, sad scene. You can have sad music like that, but it wouldn’t fit since Rex and Ashoka aren’t really doing anything to go along with loud, sad music. It was never meant to go out with a bang. Much like the in canon transition to the empire, the end of the clone wars was very quiet. And the music in the scene fits that perfectly. Easily my favorite scene in the episode.

17:10 Its the end of Clone Wars... Republic clones became Imperial soldiers, Republic fallen, Jedi are dead or hidden and hunted. I don't think what you're talking about would fall under this show anymore. Theoretically, the last scene wouldn't have to be there as well.

[@fanta4897]

Yeah, the music didn't fit. It didn't feel like Star Wars at all apart from the very weak hints of some SW theme playing in it for few seconds. Then again, I have the same criticism about Mandalorian's soundtrack. Other than that, the soundtrack I think hit some note for me. It didn't fit as a Star Wars soundtrack, but it had something in it that made me feel properly sad about the ending. I felt kind of hollow after this episode ended, and that was a good thing since there isn't supposed to be much hope at this point... if any. Although, if I were to change something to make it a bit more hopeful, I'd make Vader throw away Ahsoka's lightsaber, then hesitate and then pick it up again, with maybe slight hint of Ahsoka's theme playing in the background.

[@TarnishedLifter]

Empire Wars🤣

[@TheRealCeeJai]

15:30 Again, I disagree. I believe having those big, bombastic melodies such as the Imperial March in this episode would have really detracted from the subdued, somber, and depressing mood and atmosphere it was trying to convey. At this point, it is no longer a galaxy embroiled in war, but one engulfed in a suffocating darkness. Not to mention the weight of the regret that this fate could have easily been prevented in a dozen different ways with a direct intervention at the right moment by almost any of the main characters featured makes it even sadder. This last chapter in the Clone Wars wasn't about evoking nostalgia or bridging a gap - it was about taking us to a darker place and time that hasn't really been explored at all and also, about illuminating the details surrounding the previously very grey and hazy final days of the Clone Wars and showing how Anakin's actions affected others. Lastly, having those big, recognizable pieces in this episode would have detracted from the isolated, alone feeling this episode both has on it's own and seemingly attempts to evoke in the viewers. You are supposed to be alone with your thoughts in many of those final scenes, I believe, thinking about all the little turns and things that had to play out perfectly to lead to this moment - and how overwhelmingly sad it is that they did.

[@RMPU-Lil-Bro]

Great video

[@wanderingsurvivor]

Excellent reactions man. The Blade Runner reference with the music was spot on. I'm a big fan of both music styles. The Blade Runner themes I felt were oddly fitting for the transition to the pre-Star Wars era. It sort of meshed with the loss of the Jedi and the eclipse of the light side of the force. Coupled with the visuals of the industrial themes of the Empire ascendant it worked for me. But I can also appreciate wanting more John Williams styled themes for the end of the show. Keep up the good work.

[@Romne]

@SKYMAN UNIVERSE Hey man! Where did you get that really cool hoodie? I think it is a hoodie. I like it. Must have!

[@Darkjonny79]

Something to add to all this as well. As the helmets are no longer on the sticks, when he picks up Ahsokas lightsaber, it only takes one look into the nearby Clone Helmet for him to think that they killed Ahsoka. That's why he doesn't hunt her down, because at that moment, he belives her dead. So, when Vader walks from the helmet, it's also like he's walking away from his past and into his new future.
