People always forget there's only like 5 people who know Sidious ran the CIS before he ran the Republic / Empire. Morgan joining the Empire has no conflict of motivations because from the POV of the entire galaxy, the Empire crushed the CIS.

[@glamourweaver]

The Night sisters did know though that Dooku was Sith, so it becomes pretty obvious once you know Palpatine is Sith, which anyone high enough in the Empire to know of Vader (which in the direct confidence of Thrawn, Elspeth was) would know. I guess Palptine’s best lie there would be that Dooku was the Master, and he was the Apprentice who usurped his master and ended the Clone War he had started to destroy the Republic, and instead made it something “stronger”.

[@thedoctor4327]

IMO this is Grievous at his most terrifying since the 2003 Clone Wars mini series. Someone already made an edit of the fight where they added in his 2003 theme and that effect was increased ten fold.

[@PhoenixPrime]

Agreed, dude. I haven’t been this scared of Grievous since I was a little girl! 😂

[@aitipsea3909]

No it didn't

[@kR-qj7rw]

the thing is grievous wasn't just scary on 03 by being more pwerful is the way hes handled as a competent tactician, using everything he can to get the job done, see the 3rd arm surprise hit? the spiny blade as a distraction and intimidation? it reminds me of the ayyla shak ti ki adi fight, hes not stronger than 3 jedis, but he is smart and ruthless but not to the classic too angry and clumsy compare it to most of the 3d cw show where he is just front and center swinging wildly in most of his fights lol

[@eawhite782]

Dathomir has always been home to many clans of Witches. The Nightsisters were just one clan. Now I wonder if we'll see what happens with some of the other clans in Ahsoka season 2, now that the Nightsisters have returned to Dathomir.

Assuming you've watched them all, I'm waiting to see who is first to spot the pattern in the titles of Morgan's three episodes I'm not super up on it, but they're drawing on Legends for the mountain clan.

RUN HAHAHAHA bro Grievous looked amazing

[@JMKidd75]

Grievous' issue is that while he has droid limbs and the physical ability to use more than 2 arms, he still has a "human" brain. It's hard to adjust your thinking and process all that information so quickly. Unlike someone like Pong Krell, he doesn't have the innate affinity for it.

[@THESERIOUSKNOB]

[@masternguyen6326]

So cool to see the Singing Mountain Clan. As someone who played Star Wars Galaxies many years ago, I remember all the hours of grinding for faction Reputation between the Nightsister and Singing Mountain Clans for various quests. There’s also the Spider Clan which I wonder if they’ll ever explore as well. This episode made me want play to play SWG again 😄 Also hearing Grievous laughter in the background totally reminded me of being In the Myyydril caverns of Kashyyyk. Think after you defeat Necrosis, his laugh echos in the cave after you defeat him.

[@RedHeadKevin]

The Separatists would have won the war if every battle had loudspeakers just playing Grievous laughing maniacally. It would have freaked the clones out something terrible.

[@YodatheHobbit]

Just because Dooku taught Grevious how to fight though, doesn't mean he's going to have taught him the same style. With 4 arms instead of 2 that's impractical.

[@sabotower1792]

Not to mention that Dooku's fighting style is so one-handed and technical, the exact opposite of Grievous' forceless and four-armed technique

[@abthedragon4921]

Damn, Grievous not only looks amazing but he channeled his 2003 version, little talk, just action!

[@jackson857]

Gotta say I'm a little disappointed that a week after Tales of the Empire came out we still only have an episode 1 reaction. These aren't even full episodes, they're shorts, so I hoped they would put episodes 1-3 together in one video.

Love seeing the mountain clan. Pretty sure they are major players in the legends book, the courtship of princess Leia. Which is also where we got the idea of the traveling jedi padawan training ship which I always feel like got turned into huyang.

[@Jordan-gp3mj]

What I wanna know why the hell would they believe Morgan was actually capable of doing anything against the droids when her entire clan LOST. Forest was burned and not even the undead did too much. Like be fr, Morgan. You’re suddenly more powerful than a Great Mother? Where was this power and skill yesterday?🤣

[@GattsBerserkArmor]

The "mountain mother" was using the same barrier/shockwave skill that Cere Junda used in Jedi Survivor or at least a very similar skill. 😁 Because of the extra lore it brought with this new clan of light side witches of Danthomir i think episode 1 was the best out of those 3. Plus seeing Grievious being a actual menance in combat. 😈 Also that warning about the doomed path Morgan choose. Amazing episode.

[@johannesbowers7467]

While all Nightsisters are Witches of Dathomir, NOT all Witches of Dathomir are Nightsisters (and never have been). This is more of the EU Iceberg splintering and allowing fragments to rise into Canon (finally). Big round of applause to the risen Mountain Clan of old. Also Grievous in full 2008 Tartakovski battle mode. 💀👌

[@heze2819]

I think the Mountain Clan was to show the light side of Magick which now with all the Peridea stuff hopefully it will be fully revealed to be another version of the force. Maybe if we are really luckily then the Mother theory will become true being that Baylan is looking for her and she represents Magick hence the name Mother Talzin or the Great Mothers.

I love your reaction videos guys. Please do a reaction to Misfits. I’d love to see your opinion on that

[@MeyaRoseGirl]

I don't think the mountain clan was truly safe from the droids. I have my doubts that the brothers were safe, too. As Obi-Wan said in TPM, the Naboo and the Gungans form a symbiont circle. What happens to one affects the other. It seems to me that the mountain clan is still the same species as the Nightsisters, but they chose a more peaceful way of life and used magic in a more defensive way. But they really didn't live that far away from each other, so it's reasonable to assume they had trade between them. And do you really think Grievous is going to make the distinction between different clans of the same species on the same planet? Someone willing to commit genocide like that isn't going to waste time on figuring out who is innocent.

Refreshing take. I watched all of the episodes on the 4th, but I don't need all the reactions together.

[@Joshsclips]

Or you could just… not to watch the whole thing at once, if that’s what you prefer… and then the massive number of people who simply aren’t gonna care about a 15 minute episode anymore in mid-June can get what they want too. What kind of coping mechanism is that to say “I’m glad you guys reduced content and are milking it like crazy, it keeps me waiting” lol

[@zephyr835]

@@Joshsclips I could also just...respect that this is their channel and they can upload these things as they see fit. Not gonna care next month? People still rave about the Dooku episodes in TOTJ, a year and a half later. People seemed to care about the Rick & Calvin reactions to TCW and Rebels -- mostly 22-minute episodes, years after the initial airing/premiering, uploaded once a week. You want the guys to put all these reactions out together or in a very short span of time, so that a "massive number of people" can watch them. That means the guys are actually, potentially losing out on views, likes, comments, etc. So in that way, they're _not_ milking it. And why do all those people want these reactions so quickly? What's the real need? You enjoy something in Star Wars, but only a month later you don't care about it? My impression is that, in large part, these people just want to vicariously relive the first-time experience of their favorite scenes and moments, and then paste in the same comment they've made on every other reaction they've watched for the same episode. The specific reaction channel is just a vehicle for those viewers' gratification. So rather than coping, I'm _genuinely_ glad if the guys don't cater to that.

[@Joshsclips]

@@zephyr835 they can upload as they see fit and people will absolutely unsubscribe as they see fit. You can sit here and be a good consumer, justifying this for them however you want. There isn’t one GOOD reason for dragging on the release of these videos. They’re milking it for the sake of having content to post for weeks to come, not for the initial engagement numbers. You also can’t compare these shorts, released all at once and adding up to less than the length of a movie, to a show like rebels where we received new episodes for years and it’s a much longer storyline. Still seems like you’re massively coping to me

[@zephyr835]

@@Joshsclips Yes, people can unsubscribe. Hell, I hope they do; maybe there will be less complaining. And you admit that the guys are accepting an opportunity cost for the sake of having content over a longer period. It's a tradeoff. And I don't need to justify anything for them. You said people won't "care about a 15 minute episode anymore in mid-June." Didn't give any other qualifiers about the show, nor did you address TOTJ. People still care about the 15-minute Dooku episodes. And again, why wouldn't people care after a month? If people enjoy something enough that they want to see reactions to it, why would they stop caring a month later? So I don't see what I'm "coping" with. I don't have a problem with the uploads. My initial comment was replying to a similar opinion. And I was willing to leave it at that. _You_ have a problem with the uploads, and were bothered enough by this that you made a demeaning reply to people who have a different opinion.
