[@rey-8030]

There are 2 subspecies of Zabrak, Iridonian Zabraks and Dathomirian Zabraks. Overtime,Female Dathomirian Zabraks evolved into the Nightsisters and learned to wield Dark Side Magicks, which made them lack the need to grow horns. Whereas Sugi, the Female Iridonian Zabrak bounty hunter in this episode, did not lose the ability to grow horns.

[@pulpjedaii]

All of this is correct except that Night sisters are mostly human as that's the planet's dominant species. They look kinda pale due to the dark side magic they are always steeped in.

[@mathies3598]

@@pulpjedaii they arent human lol

[@pulpjedaii]

@@mathies3598 Yes they are, there are 2 societies on Dathomir, the Haythem Consortium and the Night sisters. Both are matriarchal and both are mostly human. Night sisters just look weird cuz they practice dark side magic and the dark side has a corrupting influence on humans.

[@danzansandeev6033]

Wait I thought night sisters were rattataki like the ones from the old republic

[@dariensampson7913]

You are all wrong. Nightsisters are Zabrak-Human Hybrids. That's why they do not have horns or hair. Full blooded Zabraks could have horns and hair though hair was rare. Darkside use has nothing to do with the lack or horns or paleness.

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

12:24 Chris: *_“It feels like we’re building towards something BIG.”_* Perhaps the biggest understatement in Clone Wars history. I can’t wait to see their reactions when *_you-know-you_* finally decides to show up in person. 😈

[@diegopansini3152]

Why are reaction channels always skipping Hondo's most iconic line? "Insolence? We are pirates! We don't even know what that means!"

[@EChacon]

Hondo: _"Insolence! We are pirates. We don't even know what that means. Open fire!"_ You got to love Hondo Ohnaka and no doubt one of his best lines in Clone Wars.

[@DovahFett]

We've seen that Iridonian bounty hunter before. She was the one who flirted with Obi-Wan in the Seven Samurai inspired episode _Bounty Hunters_ way back in Season 2. She's also made minor appearances in a few other episodes throughout the show. Her name is Sugi, and she is indeed of the same species as Maul, Ventress, and Savage. She just hails from Iridonia instead of Dathomir.

[@jessetaran7116]

Same with Eeth Koth

[@lazyraquan9856]

Maul's voice actor has been killing it ever since he spoke his first lines in the show he's Mauls Kevin conroy

[@Ricksyboy1306]

Sam Witwer is his name

[@veskernthewise5793]

He also voiced Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, Starkiller in the Force Unleashed games which are no longer canon unfortunately 😢

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

​@@veskernthewise5793 That first game is fun as hell, but they're both pretty stupid, probably for the best they're not canon

[@tequilawhiskey]

@@samuelstensgaard4828 yeah hes closer to Goku than a Jedi

[@veskernthewise5793]

@@samuelstensgaard4828 yeah that’s true

[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

Can we all agree...Hondo is probably the best and most unique creation the Clone Wars brought to the Star Wars universe ! There are no similar archetype in the entire lore except for maybe Lando...He just have the best lines : "Insolence, we are pirates...we don't even know what that means !!".

[@MandatoryFruit]

Hondo not showing up in live action yet is a genuine crime.

[@MomentPhotographyG1]

Fax

[@odynith9356]

Open fire!

[@drizzmatec]

@@MandatoryFruit you could say that live action Hondo is not yet PROFITABLE!

[@DarthDimadome]

Yeah, they one-upped Ahsoka's quad beheading from last season. The jaws on the floor and the absolute silence pierced by Chris' laugh is absolutely the right reaction.

[@odynith9356]

I think Ashoka’s was still a cooler move. Up close and personal

[@jiminy82]

@Odynith I love how she spun to use the ropes to pull the 4 mandalorians in close to her to behead them, it's a little detail people often miss.

[@firecat4529]

31:01 We would have actually seen that in the CW arc called "Son of Dathomir", but it was sadly cancelled by Disney taking over Star Wars in 2013, I think. 9 other CW arcs were cancelled too back then and have yet to be "renewed", hopefully.

[@jessetaran7116]

Although there's a comic adaptation of it if anyone's interested and hasn't read it

[@DovahFett]

Adi Gallia was a Jedi Master and a member of the Jedi High Council. The fact that Savage defeated her so easily should tell you a little bit about how powerful he has become since joining forces with Maul, and how powerful he could be if trained properly. Nightsisters' magic ain't no joke. It's like steroids for Force sensitives.

[@MichaelChill]

Ain’t she in revenge of the sith tho??

[@seanmorton4689]

the whole point of this arc was to show that not only had Sidious trained Maul to be a master in lightsaber and force combat but also taught him the subtleties of politics which was not common for sith since it requires patience. Great to see Maul take his time like Palpatine does and manipulate and outmaneuver his way to power

[@stefankatsarov5806]

I dont think it was all Palpatine's dowing, but when Maul was crazy and later saved by Savage, he learned that he needs to be patient.

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

@@stefankatsarov5806 When you look at Star Wars as a whole, there is usually one, all-encompassing, undeniable truth: *_EVERYTHING_* os Palpatine’s doing. Maul would later say it himself about Sidious: *_“He is behind EVERYTHING.”_* Sidious taught Maul everything he knows, and Maul has only ever danced unwittingly to the tune of his Master’s symphony. Nothing more than a pawn for Darth Sidious.

[@thealmightypancakeface9585]

Further proof that Maul was to be what Vader was, if Anakin was never discovered by palpatine

[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

Mandalorian with Sith Lords...a classic historical match up...when honor is a weakness the Sith can exploit ! Also the Black Suns are part of the Shadow of the Empire book and game...Dave Filoni knows his classic !! Just wish that last survivor was Prince Xixor, it would have been epic !!

[@EChacon]

Mauldalore is one of my favorite arcs from Season 5 as it displays Maul and Savage joining forces with Pre Vizsla's group and teaming up with the other Crime Syndicates to help them take over Mandalore. At the same time, it also shows Maul's having interest in the Mandalorians from Pre Vizsla so he can use them as tools to get revenge on the Jedi including Obi-Wan, Count Dooku and the Separatists for his own army in the Shadow Collective following his loss of the Weequay pirates to Hondo. Plus, Vizsla telling Darth Maul what had happened following Season 2's Mandalorian arc and why Vizsla and his group have postponed their attack on Mandalore following their split with Dooku and the Separatists provided a much better context in this episode than what happened in "A Friend in Need" if you ask me. Speaking of "A Friend in Need", Vizsla and his Mandalorians having medical droids while they repair Maul's Legs and Savage's arm is in the words of Palpatine himself IRONIC cause the last time we saw Vizsla and his group, they were destroying several defenseless droids (including Medical droids) on Carlac just for the hell of it. Even Bo-Katan was portrayed much better this season and this arc in general when compared to her debut episode where she was just "there" in the background.

[@MrSK529]

It’s time!!! They’ve finally gotten to one of my favorite arcs of the whole series.

[@maxgardner7116]

My favourite thing about the first episode is adi galia kicking savages leg and then obi wan using that idea to win the fight. Mad respect to adi galia.

[@crotasmistress]

One of the best arcs begins. Let's go

[@supakame]

One of the best arcs... so far :)

[@harrywang1275]

WHY HAVEN'T THEY UPLOADED THE NEXT CLONE WARS EPISODE YET

[@EChacon]

It's very Ironic that when Pre Vizsla interrogates Maul, Vizsla still thinks that Count Dooku is the Sith Lord, but is totally unaware and clueless that Darth Sidious is the actual Sith Lord while Dooku is his Sith Apprentice. Come to think of it, other than Maul, Dooku, Grievous, the Separatists leaders, Mas Amedda, the Bounty Hunters who had contact with Sidious (Cad Bane and Embo), Talzin and a few members of the Jedi Council (e.g. Yoda) none of the other people, including Pre Vizsla and his group knew about the existence of Darth Sidious before and during the events of Clone Wars. On top of that, Vizsla and his Group of Mandalorians having medical droids while they repair Maul's Legs and Savage's arm is in the words of Palpatine himself, IRONIC cause in "A Friend in Need", Vizsla and his group were destroying several defenseless droids on Carlac just for the hell of it. It just makes me despise Vizsla for how much of an Extremist and a zealot scumbag he was in the show, especially on his extremist ideology on what is "Mandalorian Tradition", and "Justice" along with his portrayal in "A Friend in Need", not to mention him, Bo-Kotan and the rest of the Mandalorians having bigotry against the Sith and Jedi all while saying the same quote or vice-versa _("Jedi are no better Sith", "Sith are no better than Jedi", etc, etc, etc.)._

[@justlivin2499]

If I had a nickel for every time a Jedi who accompanied Obi wan died fighting Maul I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

[@North862]

I am soo sad that we didn't get to see Hondo's best line "Indolence? We are Pirates. We don't even Know what that Means! Open fire!"

[@alexruebenstahl6342]

Some of the questions you have ask are directly (and only) answered in the Son of Dathomir Comic and Dark Disciple novel. You guys should really read these before season 7 the are Canon.

[@planetbob6703]

Hondo was *so proud* this episode! ...but also so betrayed...

[@WillSee_]

Quick info dump on the night brothers, female bounty hunter and her race: The night brothers race are called Zabrak, their clan was banished to Dathomir long ago (in Legends it was before the Old Republic games took place, over 4000 BBY) for their dark and twisted views. Over time their horns sharpened to developed similar to their dangerous new habitat and pained their skin for live upon their birth, differentiating them from their original kin. The female bounty hunter Sugi, is what Zabrak normally look like. Also for unknow (to me) reasons female Zabrak are much less common in the galexy, perhaps their birth rates are fractioned to that of their males. An example of a male Zabrak you've seen before, Eeth Koth of the jedi order. Anyways I hope this was helpful, it's late when I'm watching this and I'm too tired to watch the talk at the end... but apparently not tired enough to type this. Cheers.

[@joshroth705]

I love that Jon Favreau is the voice for Pre and Paz.

[@Its_cameronO]

They though these two were tense😂 best of this arc is just starting

[@lesliecooley6862]

Spidey with the Galaxy Quest reference proving yet again why he is my favorite reactor from The Normies.

[@chaost4544]

Galaxy Quest would be a great reaction from them.

[@BlackBurrito9073]

The girl bounty hunter in Nul Hutta is a Zabrak, the same species as Maul and Savage, but I'm pretty sure she's not from Dathomir... Because The Night Sisters only allowed male Zabraks to live in Dathomir. Also.... Dathomirian is another race different from the Zabrak (Ventress and the Night Sisters are Dathomirian), and if I'm not mistaken... the Dathomirian race was created when Human Women (the original Night Sisters) had children with Zabrak men.

[@samuelstensgaard4828]

The Spidey and Chris reactions are always my favorite lmao, I feel like I laugh harder at the jokes and appreciate the badass moments even more because of them. Spidey especially doesn't get enough love but I completely agree with him that I want an animal to laugh with me when I say shit.

[@weirddeck4193]

the next 2 episodes are my favorite, they also have my favorite fight in the whole series

[@MarcMagma]

This is my second favorite arc. It combines, Sith, Mando's and Third Party In War, three of my favorite things in Star Wars.

[@courtiusmaximus5150]

It sucks that Maul still held on to the "Rule of 2" thing. I wish they could just be brothers against the world. 8:34 that was cool seeing them work in tandem to escape though.

[@TahoesLimit]

Man for sure the more brutal of the episodes. I forgot how crazy clone wars gets as the show goes on. Arcs including Mandalore are AMAZING

[@davidnobre5660]

27:34 they're Zabrak, like the bounty hunter girl who almost died but she's from Iridonia, their native world

[@brianalambert1192]

Seeing as we can talk about spoilers, I actually think this episode is critical for highlighting the hypocrisy of the Jedi. Let's say for the sake of argument that Palpatine wasn't evil. The leader of the Republic told the peacekeepers not to investigate an individual who they know was trying to start up a criminal enterprise. Then once he does start up a criminal enterprise, they still don't go after him. Then when Obi Wan straight up tells them "Maul took over Mandalore" which he predicted would lead to an invasion of Mandalore, it still doesn't result in a large scale invasion UNTIL Bo Katan practically begs him for his help. AND EVEN THEN they need to send someone who's not with the Jedi. As far as I'm concerned, Maul was their responsibility to deal with and they let politics stop them from doing that.

[@airsoft6147]

This is where you see the real power and threat of the Sith. They don't win b/c of their lightsaber skills or force powers, those are tools. They win by working in the shadows playing people like pawns and getting them to fight and do all the work for them, sometimes without ever realizing it. This is also why the Jedi ultimately loose b/c they're trying to fight an enemy that doesn't really exist anymore. The Sith aren't out there on the battlefield waving their lightsabers in droves anymore, they evolved and adapted which the Jedi Order at this point is incapable of doing.

[@markusbryant6789]

I watched a video once that said Maul was never a Sith Lord. He was just a Sith Assassin that Sidious tricked into believing he was a lord. He was never on Dooku or Sidious’s level

[@cr7ysis583]

Palpatine would never work with maul and savage since maul making savage his apprentice means he is now a rival to good old sheev

[@McLoviniam]

Maul and Savage aren't in cahoots with Sidious, Sidious just recognized Mauls name when he heard it and immediately started covering for his former apprentice

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

Yeah. Though only because Sidious had his own plans for him. He could have had Maul taken out at any time he wanted, but as usual, he has a bigger picture in mind.

[@MasterXelcas]

Normies is such an appropriate name :p Cause thinking maul is actually powerful (in comparison to most major players on the field) is a rookie mistake, and whenever anyone thinks maul can beat this or that, i know they're just blinded by bias. Maul is an incredible character, but that does not make him powerful, as I'm sure you guys will figure out very soon. He almost never succeeds in about anything he tries, and without savage as an extra edge can certainly not beat most top jedi. But people always like, give maul extra power in their minds just because he's cool and its such a common thing. But look at this dude objectively and cool as he is, poor bastard never actually can get anything done.

[@BaithNa]

Maul is very powerful because he's a Sith from the Rule of Two era. He never became strong enough to be the master but he was definitely more powerful than most Jedi and if Anakin was never born, he would have eventually become the most powerful force user in the galaxy. That or he would have died and been replaced.

[@tylerbrown5526]

Maul and Savage aren't on the same side as Palp. To Palp, they're competition.

[@MandatoryFruit]

So disappointed we didn't get the reaction to: "You will pay for your Insolence!" "Insolence?! We are pirates, we don't even know what that means."

[@CaesiusX]

4:34 *Micky:* _"Damn, whatever happened to honor amongst thieves?"_ ⚜️ I was going to correct you by noting the old proverb, _There is no honor among thieves._ However, I have since discovered it is a proverb coming much much later than the original, which specifically denotes _honor among thieves._ Apparently it was addressing how criminals are said to in fact have a code of conduct among themselves. So, you were quite right to be momentarily indignant.😏 *EDIT:* I just noticed your wireless keyboard. I recently purchased that exact same one. Been quite happy with it. So, um. . .yeah. Be well and have a great new year! 🙋🏼‍♂️ ··•●✺●•··

Bo katan was NEVER on the good side. I think its crazy she left that impression she made every wrong decision she could have in her life.

[@odynith9356]

That first episode is one of my all time favorites. From the banter of Hondo to the epic fight of kenobi vs maul and savage. “You are mistaken” still gives me chills, and “we are pirates we don’t even know what that means” still cracks me up lol

Your next two episodes are god tier , but the final episode in the arc is the best Single episode in clone wars.. Remember seasons 5 It is more epic the way it feels because it's the end of the series actually before Netflix picked it up and got an exclusive season 6 And season seven well that wasn't made until 2020 long 2 years after Star Wars rebels ended ... From season five's end to season 7 we had to wait Over 7 years If it wasn't for Disney+ we would've got a season 7

[@timothybruce4638]

Regarding the watch order of Season 7: I think it’s best to watch them 1-12 in order, as released. I know that chronological orders may list them differently, but I think the narrative flows much better in the released order.
