THE CLONE WARS Season 7 Ending REACTION!!! (Episodes 9-12)

[@Codetrooper1]

They used motion capture and stunt actors for the Ahsoka vs. Maul fight. That's why it looks so clean.

[@Pinkielover]

I wouldn't exactly call them stunt actors literally Darth Maul came back to go to plays him Ray park did the Mo cap And I forgot the woman's name but she's pretty popular too

[@Codetrooper1]

@@Pinkielover Stunt actor isn't a derogatory term. It means they're an actor that's trained in choreography and or martial arts. Ray Park and Lauren Mary Kim are both stunt actors.

[@dafafadila1729]

@@Pinkielover Isn't Ray Park is literally a stunt actor ? lmao

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

@@dafafadila1729 he is but nowadays people consider him an actor who specialises in stunt work rather than a stunt actor

[@PP-zi8he]

I love the shot of the clone helmets eventually panning to Jesse (who’s helmet design is the republics symbol), not only showing his death, but also the republics

[@OceanHedgehog]

The shot of the Venator falling into the clouds represented the death of the Republic. The Venator was the symbol of the Republic, and its crash was caused by the internal chaos sown by a Sith Lord. The shot of Vader's reflecting walking away and disappearing symbolized the closing of the Clone Wars chapters and a move into the Imperial Era of Star Wars media.

[@thewerewolff7248]

Ventress’ fate is told in the book “dark disciple”. The book was based on an 8 episode clone wars arc that never got made and is written by Katie Lucas, George Lucas’ daughter. Likewise there’s a comic called “son of Dathomir” that adapts another unmade clone wars arc that shows how maul escaped his capture my sideous Edit: I highly recommend both

[@MovieFusion]

Oh wow. I would've loved to see those turned into episodes. Would've worked well in Season 6.

[@ElCactus7567]

@@MovieFusion The show got canceled after season 5 when Disney bought Star Wars. The show was originally on Cartoon Network. They had several seasons and many arcs plotted out that didn't get finished. Season 6 was just the episode they had already gotten done and were in production when they got canceled. Season 7 came out years later, but they were only greenlit for 12 episodes. But with series, like Tales of the Jedi (which you should also check out if you haven't already) they actually have updated characters models and could go back and make more episodes if Disney lets them.

[@chn.175]

beautifully said, wanted to comment the same thing just now

[@anthonybankhead9830]

​@MovieFusion The Dark Diciple novel is really good as an audio book. In fact I think that all starwars novels are in audio book form. And this isn't just someone reading the books aloud. It's produced with gr8 sound effects awesome music

[@vanlllasky]

@@ElCactus7567 now i'm even more disgusted with Disney. they could've continued and finished The Clone Wars fully, letting them complete the story arcs they had already planned out. instead they threw together a half-assed season 7 with The Bad Batch to set up a sequel and that lame Ahsoka arc that did nothing for the character, only to finish it off with Siege of Mandalore which should've come after a few more seasons. i wanna slam my head through my desk jesus christ this is making me so angry.

[@DazHotep6EQUJ5]

This final arc of Clone Wars is absolutely top tier Star Wars. Sublime ending.

[@thewerewolff7248]

The duel in phantom apprentice looks so good because it was mo capped. Specifically it was Mo Caped by Ray Park who played the body of maul and did all his fighting in phantom menace and Lauren Mary Kim who has done stunt work on many many projects. Of particular note is she does the stunt work for the Armourer in the Mandalorian.

[@Doughnuts]

I wasn't prepared for how much Clone Wars made me fall in love with Star Wars all over again. Truly an amazing addition to the universe.

[@BlackBurrito9073]

What amazes me the most about these last episodes besides Order 66... is the fact that... by analizing Ahsoka's facial expressions when Maul proposed to work together... it seems that she was actually considering it, and maybe even ready to accept it. But then she asked the crucial question "what do you want with Anakin Skywalker?" And because of what Maul responded she immediately turns him down... Ahsoka doesn't want to believe that Anakin... her older brother figure... could turn to the dark side. This show is truly a masterpiece.

[@darthroden]

That last scene with the Clone Trooper helmet and Vader's reflection fading is haunting. It perfectly symbolized the true tragedy of the Clone Wars for the men we followed throughout the whole series and what war ultimately means in the end.

[@dejaeviz]

In the 2016 Ahsoka novel, Ahsoka fought against an Inquisitor called the Sixth Brother. After defeating him, she took his Kyber crystals as her own. Then, to make her own weapons, Ahsoka healed the crystals, purifying them. That returned them to their original clear state, which made a pair of white lightsaber blades.

[@jakabok4965]

I'm so happy you did this. "I'm One With The Force, And The Force Is With Me!" It's a quote from Rogue One.

[@Zepravity]

i honestly think these 4 episodes are the best star wars content, period. perfect end to the show

[@joshbourne9679]

Ventress was killed by dooku in an arc they didn’t adapt.

[@Jim_Jam]

Yes there is a fan edit that combines this with Episode 3.

[@connorredshaw7994]

The venator crashing shows us the fall of the republic Whereas the Y-wing flying away shows us the eventual rise of the rebellion as the Y-wing was a main fighter/bomber for the rebellion

[@Spido68_the_spectator]

Maul desteoying the hyperdrive generator is a métaphor for Sidious ' actions, the crew loosing control the Jedi / honest senators

[@kaiielle]

Great reaction! This is definitely my favourite bunch of animated episodes in Star Wars and actually my favourite bunch of episodes across all of Star Wars television. I can't help but get emotional every time, especially seeing Rex so upset. This arc made Rex and Ahsoka my favourite duo - they give me strong uncle/niece vibes - and I could watch a whole show of the two of them together, even though that wouldn't fit anywhere in the timeline. I just love them so much, even more than Anakin and Obi-Wan as a duo. I'm glad to hear you're watching The Bad Batch. Those gents are incredible and I grew very fond of them as I made my way through the show. I'm really looking forward to Season 3, which will be the final season.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

Next, you NEED TO WATCH TALES OF THE JEDI! There are short stories that delve into Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano.

[@darkvortex2410]

What is so tragic about the Clone Wars was that it was a war that id designed for everyone to loss. • The Jedi were wiped out to near extinction. Branded as traitors and forced into hiding just to try to survive. • The clones were forced to kill their Jedi Generals who they fought side by side with. They had regret about killing them and then they were thrown away for thr Stormtroopers. • The Republic was destroyed from within and turned into the Galactic Empire. • The Separatist were all killed and the droid army was decommissioned. • Anakin Skywalker, The Hero of The Clone Wars was turned to the dark side and became a monster. Goes to show just how much Palpatine manipulated EVERYONE so only he would come out on top.

[@Cam_DePasquali]

Shattered is for sure one of my favorite episodes in television. Each for sure is easily a 5/5, and all are in my top episodes for television, but Shattered comes the closest. It did Order 66 better than RoTS did.

[@corgiluver9718]

Glad you reacted to this. The endings of The Clone Wars and Rebels are so emotional to me. Both shows reinvigorated my love of Star Wars. Andor continued it and I have high hopes for Ahsoka.

[@VAOdin]

The fact that Mandalore wasnt some random casualty in the war but a cultivated event by Maul to try to obstruct Palpatine which resulted in the attack on Coruscant is brilliant

[@veot.2869]

38:50 You missed points on having no comment for the Ahsoka double lightsaber force circle made!!! 😬

[@gbozzi05_]

42:40 The Bad Batch has some AMAZING episodes and it gives some great context on the early days of the Empire, what happened to the clones and how the Stormtrooper corps came to be.

[@WorldWeave]

I love maul screaming “you’re all going to burn! We’re all going to die! You don’t know what you’re doing” because we know he’s RIGHT…that’s what makes this whole arc so good, we know what’s going to happen, but we don’t know WHEN and when it DOES happen, we can’t look away

[@Matisaro]

The Ahsoka maul fight was motion captured and they got the original actor who played maul to reprise his role.

[@MovieFusion]

That’s so cool

[@Jon_from_LI]

The Siege of Mandalore was easily the finest animated trilogy arc that I have ever seen. Such an amazing story that of course intermingled with Episode III.

[@m-skirata1]

She survived as far as I know, until she was later captured and killed by Dooku. She was in a realtionship with Jedi Quinlan Vos who fell to the Dark Side. She sacrificed herself to save Vos from Dooku which led Vos to turn back to the Light side.

[@Dan-B]

There’s a Bad Batch series that explains what happens with them.

[@ethankeith526]

Maul was captured by palpatine in a comic he escaped but that was supposed to be a arc in the show but it was cancelled

[@thomasluke-wp8or]

Ahsokas white sabers are sabers she takes and purifies from one of the inquisitors

[@dejaeviz]

Vos defeated Dooku, but refused to give into the dark side and strike down the count. Asajj was mortally wounded, and died in Quinlan's arms, grateful that her love had found his way back to the light. She was then laid to rest on Dathomir, alongside her sisters. (so she dies before episode 3)

[@thomaslamy465]

Cool reaction. Too bad you didn't do the same with Rebels season 2 finale, I would have loved to see you react to it too. These episodes are really amazing. I can't help to tear up when Ahsoka takes Rex's helmet off. You should watch Tales of the Jedi as well. You will have a lot of background on Dooku and a bit of information about what happens to Ahsoka after Order 66..

[@Matisaro]

The final 4 episodes of clone wars are essentially a movie, runs at the same time as episode 3.

[@gabevandenhoeven4546]

9:00 Those are her original lightsabers she used while she was Anakin's padawan. He kept them when she left the order, and they turned blue when he altered the design a little bit.

[@user_miike]

so glad i found your channel

[@jackson857]

It's literally my favourite thing in Star Wars.

[@joaolucas-pq8wl]

vader with design of rebels

[@sassquatch212]

As someone who grew up with the clone wars and isn’t keen on the state of the franchise since Lucas sold it, the siege of mandalore arc was a great farewell to the franchise for me.

[@kingxnate19]

such an incredible show, i’m glad you shared your reactions to these episodes! i really do want Ventress to come back she was one of my favs in Clone Wars

[@vincible45]

You just had to be there when the final two episodes aired! For us Clone Wars fans, this was huge for us for many reasons. We grew up with these characters and they grew up with us as well. Seeing the ending of this amazing show was the emotional equivalent to accepting that our childhood was over and that we needed to move on, just like Ahsoka. Yeah, there’s spin-offs and extensions like Rebels and Bad Batch, but there will NEVER be a show in the Star Wars franchise that has influenced an entire generation more than Clone Wars

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

The best Star Wars story arc ever. The music, the theme. I've never been so emotionally wrecked in my life. 😭😭

[@EmanueleCorsi]

I guess most people can agree that the final arc of TCW is the best SW Movie ever made 😂 And they hint it should be seen as a whole movie with that intro and the heavy use of the original John Williams soundtrack...

[@Ashley_e]

One of best eps of tv ever. Cry at ahsoka and anakin

[@Bacon.Bits.]

You said that you were interested in this being edited into episode three, that IS available, and it's actually super good. You can just look it up on KZbin, the movie itself is private (for obvious reasons) but there are youtube videos that will explain it and give you access.

[@Stratocumulus25]

The Siege of Mandalore is a masterpiece...Enjoy !! PS I'm glad you decided to react to it !!

[@veot.2869]

Man, you really covered over ALL the end of the 2nd episode with Maul being hung out to dry when he was captured!!! That WAS the best voice acting in SWTCW!!!! IASP!!!!! 😮🤨😑

[@clasher138]

9:19 this moment mirrors the moment Ahsoka leaves the temple and when she confronts Vader almost two decades later

[@wonderwomanmillow2281]

The fight coreography of Maul and Ahsoka was made by Ray Perker, Darth Maul himself. The animation based on motion capture! The Bad Batch at least first episode with Order 66 and young Kanan from Rebels was also very sad and pls watch Tales of the Jedi! Greetings from Germany❤

[@shadytano]

Tcw is peak SW

[@SLAPERZZ1]

I loved the cartoons especially the old school ones and they portrayed the clones so much cooler and followed most of them through out. The action is crazy too

[@WorldWeave]

Can we just appreciate how Ridge survived as a BACKGROUND CLONE from the battle of Teth until order 66 with NO PLOT ARMOR?! Since he’s a background clone you can probably say he was in every battle the 501st was in…give me a Ridge series

[@fragments334r21]

You should watch the animated show The Bad Batch as it explained what happens to them after order 66

[@Zivin]

To answer your question in the first reaction: Ahsoka gets her white lightsabers in a book. The white color comes from her purifying the red corrupted (bleeding) crystals used by the dark side force users. She defeated an inquisitor by herself and took his lightsaber crystals and purified them, when you purify crystals that were bled (red lightsabers) the crystals will turn white.

[@LadiesmanB007]

Ray Parker (phantom apprentice Darth Maul) did the motion capture for Maul in the fight with Ahsoka

[@ednamodee]

its so crazy he really thought she was dead and its makes sense as to why he thought so( found the lightsaber he gave her and the clone trooper helmet paintjob with her markings )

[@Butterkappi]

I can listen to Maul talk for hours

[@dejaeviz]

those shorts on Disney+ ... show how/when ashoka trained for the last episode with her and Rex, and she takes on the 501st to escape.

[@sebmes7288]

Ahsoka gets her white lightsabers by purifying the crystals of an inquisitors lightsaber. You can watch the confrontation between the two in the “tales of the Jedi” short series. It’s great. I highly recommend if you enjoyed clone wars.

[@airbrushpower]

The animation (especially rendering and lighting) was stepped up for these last 4 eps. This is also in full 2:35 widescreen ratio. I see this as a legit Episode 2.5

[@Matisaro]

How Ahsoka got her white sabers is covered in her book. You can see the way she gets the crystals for her sabers in Tales of the Jedi the final episode which shows how Ahsoka got them. (and how rude she is in duels) she uses a frowned upon technique where she turns off her enemies lightsaber. She uses it several times in canon.

[@ladrac198]

Watch "Tales of the Jedi" to see where Ahsoka got her white lightsabers. She took the crystals from an Inquisitor she killed and chnaged them from red to white.

[@stephenmorris6590]

The Emperor sent Vader to collect any lightsaber to be destroyed.

[@riftwalker190]

perfect ending for an almost perfect series. something that's really hard to expect from Disney

[@DryNuggets]

You should also watch tales of the jedi

[@beeby9689]

Ye there is a supercut, I have it, about 4 hrs, includes lots of the scenes from these episodes and deleted scenes put in chronological order with episode 3, it's really good fun

[@dejaeviz]

Season 3 Episode 20 - REBELS .... you get your Maul return.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Now, you have to watch The Bad Batch. It picks up directly after The Siege Of Mandalore and ROTS.

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

4:15 They fly, now!

[@TRIGGER49]

Ashoka's clone battalion is called the 332 clone battalion

[@dejaeviz]

the Chips issue is covered in the bad batch, ... also, how and when stormtroopers are introduced to replace clones.

[@boomataco]

That's peak star wars right there

[@TheArrowedKnee]

I didn't hear if you mentioned it, but now that you've finished this, i highly recommend to watch Tales of the Jedi. It's 6 really quite short, but very excellent episodes that ties in to Clone Wars.

[@GauduisngMaker]

Maul almost prevented order 66 and anikin’s falll to the dark side

[@andromeda331]

This was a masterpiece. It was so well done.

[@r.j.h.l2031]

You will find Ventress's fate in the Dark Disciple novel.

[@user_miike]

amazing content

[@MovieFusion]

Thank you!!

[@akboy6422]

the last arc was amazing but i do wish that jesse got a little bit of a bigger role he has been there since the begininng and has stayed with rex and the fact that so many people just forgot about him is just kinda sad.

[@Nightyrious]

So many episodes? You have an entire GOT series on your channel lol

[@MovieFusion]

Majority of Clone Wars episodes are not very reaction worthy in my opinion (whereas every GOT is certainly reaction worthy). There's a select 20 or so that would make for a great video though (including these last 4 so I'm glad I did videos for them). But of course, this is just in retrospect, there was no way of me knowing if it would make for a good reaction series or not going into it. Regardless, I like having shows to watch on my own. I can't react to literally everything I watch or else I'd never get any series done.

[@ArtByAhri]

when I see ahsoka here are her fighting, I always start thinking they shouldn't have done a live action but an animated series. but I have to accept that with a live action they have room to add such great characters to the show like anakin and maybe more. theories are going crazy from star killer, to cal kestis and all that. but for sure we have to see anakin and maybe luke

[@widrofra]

Hey Dan, love your reaction as always! I have a cut of these episodes and Episode 3 (not done by me, but by another KZbinr). If interested, please let me know how I can share it with you!

[@PoachedDiegs]

Have you seen Tales of the Jedi already? That would be a great short series to react to!

[@dejaeviz]

Ventress Died to Dooku ... so she dies before the Clone Wars Finale ...

[@sneakdza]

Have you watched Tales of the Jedi ? Would like to see reaction to those Atleast the Ahsoka episodes

[@sambillerbeck5408]

try to do andor to it’s amazing if u didn’t see it

[@ajprime01]

Are you reacting to bad batch

[@joramsim]

the Tales of the Jedi show is also 100% worth reacting to!

[@Cam_DePasquali]

In my opinion, Ahsoka V. Maul is the best fight in Star Wars, it's easily the best in terms of cinematography & choreography. It's also one of the highest in terms of emotion. Obviously, it can't touch the emotion of Vader V. Luke 1 or 2, Ahsoka V. Vader or Obi V. Maul but it's up there.

[@EvanBradshaw-g3t]

rex is my favorite

[@jonasjunge638]

Well theres a Ventress book that's actually really great but sadly not canon anymore

[@jamesrsmith8558]

you need to start to read the books, all your answers are there.

[@steezbekillin]

Anakin must be way stronger than Maul 💀Ashoka just defeated him without a lightsaber

[@dejaeviz]

animation : ... eh .. .its ok, ... the Cut Scenes from the stars GAMES look WAY better than this ... (Knights of the old Republic) ... watch THOSE FIGHTS !!
