Maybe, the imperial march is a piece of classical music or something that existed for a very long time, and the empire adopted it as their anthem

[@bullrun2772]

it was created in the imperial era whoch is confrimed in rebels

[@olderchat_3056]

[@bubbs9586]

Maybe the imperial march was the friends we made along the way

[@tevy4757]

[@fantomanimus6401]

Surprising that Hayden auditioned to work on the clone wars but didn’t get to voice his own character.😂 Awkward.

[@dtxspeaks268]

I mean Hayden was replaced by Matt Lucas in the early 2000s CWMMP so what were his chances of him being in TCW or Disney Infinity 3.0?

[@timothyskidmore1554]

Sir Christopher Lee didn't want to voice dooku in the clone wars movie after hearing Corey Burton doing his voice for an episode of the TV show.

[@Joseph-rh7yu]

And then he has to talk like his CW counterparts voice in Ashoka lol

[@eddierichard1104]

The way you pronounce certain words is absolutely baffling

[@youngrumandcoke]

I like Hayden in the modern series he’s been a part of but, you cant deny the breath of life Matt Lanter provided for Anakin

[@dadpuncherr761]

in terms of anakins personality change i always attributed it to him killing dooku changing him, during the battle of coruscant he’s being a bit more playful and less serious w obiwan sharing some banter and just generally being the anakin we know frm the clone wars, but after the fight w dooku he was obviously shook at the fact that he killed dooku out of anger, and from there palpatine feeding his anger and hate caused him to be less playful and more serious as his manipulation progessed

[@Boopboob]

That's an interesting point your making, thanks for that

[@samesteak7717]

As well as his Padawan leaving the order feeding his anger

[@StationaryGamingReal]

I always thought it was because Anakin during war is his best self, it makes him a good soldier but a terrible peacekeeper. It's when Anakin is not at war that his focus fades and he feels fear. War is his element, he unravels without it.

[@GwaineFox]

I have an addition for the Zillo Beast. In the Bad Batch it was proven there was at least one Zillo Beast who was cloned, likely for Palpatine to make armor for people from it's skin.

[@stevengreenland8492]

I can't remember where I saw (or read) it but I believe the Zillo Beast was to be cloned in order to research using its body armour as protection on a new generation of fighters rather than using a shield generator.

[@GwaineFox]

@stevengreenland8492 just did some research and I can't find sources on what it was used for, further than Palpatine saying he believes it could help the GAR

[@mrpendayho]

There was one point where Grievious and Anakin in arm's distance of one another. During a hostage exchange, the Seperatists handed off an unconscious Anakin to the Gungans in exchange for a tied up Grievous. They didn't actually meet, but that was the closest they were to one another until RotS

[@samwelwelsam]

Another thing I like is that during a season 1 arc, ahsoka says that grevious is huge to anakin which links to anakin insane roast back in ep 3

[@jalenjohnson346]

Fun fact, I used to be a cast member that worked at rise of the resistance and there is a backstage break room area for galaxies edge cast and the break room is called Admiral snacker

[@nursestoyland]

That’s awesome!

[@belisarius3175]

The Twileks being given French accents is probably either just an innocuous worldbuilding thing or an allusion to the French Resistance of the Second World War. Also: the idea that the French weren’t enslaved in large numbers is patently false. The Barbary pirates of North Africa operated for centuries, until the nineteenth century, and captured and enslaved at least one million Europeans in that period, and many other peoples beside. One of their hunting grounds was indeed the coasts of France.

[@JohnySlama]

There is... another possible, slightly more adult explanation to Twi'leks having French accents. In Star Wars, they are fairly widely recognized as... promiscuous. Prostitutes, pleasure slaves, you name it. So it's possible that that they were given French accents because the French are one of the nationalities most commonly associated with prostitution.

[@morganholon2648]

A fellow history enjoyer

[@leonrussell9607]

And twi'leks are sex symbols and so are French women

[@axshampouw3183]

The fact that there’s a memorial of the clones from the battle of Geonosis makes me so sad cuz it means that after the clones were discarded, Palpatine prolly ordered it to be taken down and thrown out, mega depressing

[@darthshard8967]

it was sort of nice in a weird way to see it again in bad batch

[@_Teej_264]

I'd think it's more likely the 03 show is the propaganda. While you can call them robotic, all the clones were super human in efficiency and we see absurd moments like jedi fist fighting through droids and winning. The way force users and grievous were portrayed as OP and the clones just being ideal soldiers strikes me as something to exaggerate and sway public judgment on the war more than an expansive story of humanization that would cast the army as fallible

[@ARC77TheGoat]

Yeah the 2003 show makes more sense as propaganda based off that theory.

[@guardsmanhansvonkrieg4862]

Also just the sheer amount of star fighters seem very unrealistic compared to the tv show

[@TheyFrNamedMeBen]

Propaganda or not, Fordo is still my favorite clone trooper

[@DaMotoristX]

I mean that's how the Jedi and SW universe are supposed to be depicted according to legends. Live action and 3D animation always misses things because we only know how to make SW "realistic".

[@audricdenieva2877]

My thoughts exactly; I came down to the comments to say this only to find someone else already said it. Another point I'd like to add is that the 08 series has at least one arc that depicts some separatists as good people(The one with Mina Bonteri). I don't recall a single instance in the 03 show where the Separatists aren't presented as the bad guys. I could be forgetting stuff in both shows though but I just wanted to add.

[@CreepersNeedHugs]

15:27 Ashla also became another name for the light side of the Force used in some in-universe religions

[@MikeVonwolkenstein]

The clone wars show is the reason I got into Star Wars. So it was nice seeing an iceberg about it. Awesome stuff 🔥

[@bermuda1748]

Also Rex’s appearance on Endor is further cemented because the same guy can be seen on Endor dressed in storm trooper armor after they get captured !!

[@chaoslord8918]

When I saw the intro quote, "Who's the bigger fool? The fool, or the fool that follows him?" I thought it was kind of silly until I remembered that Obi-Wan Kenobi says it in A New Hope.

[@bacondorito]

The next time after The Lost One where Anakin and Dooku meet is actually in Saving Vos: Part I on Dooku’s dreadnought over Taris. He fought him alone while Obi-Wan went to help Asajj rescue Quinlan. Dooku got away, hence the next time they see him in ROTS, Obi-Wan says “this time we will take him together.”

[@benlaver5257]

15:30 - Lunker was made into a character; he was a Captain in the Gungan army

[@hloimbobthesecond]

Ridge kind of reminds me of All Quiet on the Western Front. The main character, Paul, survives from the start of WWI in 1914, all the way till October 1918, one month before the war ended. It’s especially sad because both Ridge and Paul suffered through the entire war all for what? Just to die?

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

I have a Google Doc listing every opening quote. I also included the film, the _Dark Disciple_ novel, the _Son of Dathomir_ comic arc, and the _Siege of Mandalore_ arc, none of which have intro quotes, but are worth listing in the name of chronology.

[@candystickdonut]

I have been looking for this! Any way you could publish or send it? I think the quotes are amazing and a huge part of the show.

[@physioverba]

definitely a series that deserved a full iceberg breakdown, awesome vid!

[@veryyes8561]

Another cool thing is that the canon 501st would live on after the Clone Wars and function as a stormtrooper unit under Vader just like the original cosplayers

[@philipcao1275]

There is also an episode where Cad Bane walks into a bounty hunter supply store looking for a new hat, and almost picks out the fedora of Indy, and it looks exactly like the actual hat from the Indy movies. Also Captain Rex has a subtle scar on his chin, wich is a reference to the scar Harrison Ford has on his chin in real life. And, funny enough, in The Last Crusade, they explain that Indy got his scar on his chin as a teenager from his own whip accidentaly.

[@crazitortm1317]

Also the name Ashla is later used as Ahsoka’s alter ego while she was hiding from the Empire in the books, it us also referenced in tales of the jedi

[@kardona_3]

The Imperial March being a pop song is now my head canon

[@Shaggy9342]

Small correction, at 8:45 you say that Mark Hamill got into voice acting after Star Wars. He was already doing voice acting in 1972, and had 3 voice acting credits before Star Wars came out. Also, while it would be fun for Korkie to be Obi-Wan's son, the mission where he spent a year with Satine was in 42 BBY, so any child conceived during that mission would be around 20 during the Clone Wars, whereas Korkie is only about 14. Maybe they got together later after the mission, so it's technically possible but wildly improbable.

[@26th_Primarch]

For that 2008 Clone Wars was a propaganda cartoon I'd like to point out two things. 1) propaganda cartoons do show sad and tragic things during their runs, North Korea's Squirrel and Hedgehog being one example 2) I don't see it being Republic propaganda since it does cover the events of Order 66 along with trying to excuse the clones actions during that with the inhibitor chips and clearly shows Palpatine as Sidious which I know for damn sure he wouldn't let allow while he was alive.

[@kajmak64bit76]

I saw it more like a News broadcast Especially with the narrator voice... it's sooo cool It's like watching The War Report on the news channel

[@Ჽound]

this comment isn’t really related to the video but I really wanna tell this to someone but it’s late at night. ANYWAYS, these are my top two clone wars arcs. first up we got the one with the younglings tryna built their lightsabers, and I really enjoyed how much insight this gives into what it was like growing up at the temple. it’s also always great whenever an episode has hando (or hondo?) in it. before my most fav, I gotta have an honorable mention. do any of you guys remember being scared of the mortis arc when we were younger? i still remember the day I saw it. just got back from physical therapy on a Friday night and my sister and I decided on watching an entire arc. looking back, these episodes went absolutely crazy with how much it explained and the questions it left. I really started to appreciate it after my sister and I finished rebels, which was also insane (and you can’t tell me otherwise) OK MOST FAVORITE EPISODES HERE WE GO: it was the one (either before or after the one with the younglings) when droids and the midget tried to infiltrate a separatist ship but they had issues and crashed on some remote ahh planet. IT WAS SO SURREAL LEARNING ABOUT GREGOR AND ABOUT THE DROIDS PERSONALITY and especially was crazy after watching rebels and seeing greg older with the other clones. might add more to this later because I have NOTHING going on tonight. byeeee

[@salkinreslif9830]

Great Iceberg-Video and an Awesome Idea. I think a nice curriosity could have been the Intro of the tCW Movie. It shows the typical "A long time ago...", but you hear clones shouting and screaming about something, that is hard to understand. Why are they shouting? Is this the sound of a battle? It had some kind of chase, because some of them mentioned a "stabilisator" and later "vulture(droid)s", which they can't outrun. We never found out, who this clones where, hat they exactly did nor if they made it out allife. Shivering... Oh, and there are some examples of dismemberment in the show, that could have been mentioned, but I think this is kind of included in the "Kids-Show" entry.

[@creamy_biscuits3693]

The clone wars 2003 2D show will forever be the most underrated Star Wars content out there. Just showing absolutely bonkers action

[@davidhaas3111]

“The best confidence builder is experience” this is my fav opening quote and opened the “Rookies” episode where domino squad was introduced, which makes it even more memorable for me. But I mostly like it because I’ve found it to be true extremely fast often.

[@besserwizard]

My absolute favorite intro quote (and also the only one I can really remember) is "Trust placed in others is trust earned" That quote has taught my younger self one of the most important lessons about friendship and relationships that I, for some odd reason, never got before rewatching that particular episode for the probably 100th time when it finally clicked.

[@jangronwald40]

"Courage begins by trusting oneself" took me through some real tough moments

[@19Ouroboros96]

My favourite series and the best piece of star wars content

[@dtxspeaks268]

KOTOR 1 & 2, TESB, ROTS, Darth Bane novel trilogy, Thrawn novel trilogy, and the Darth Plageuis novel are contenders for "Best Piece of Star Wars Content" as well.

[@theonlybilge]

The best star wars quote is "what's wrong with your faaaaaace?"

[@CreepersNeedHugs]

The random mispronunciations of words and names (Kryze and Vindi, for example) are… maddening

[@CreepersNeedHugs]

10:00 the monument also says complete gibberish, as seen in The Bad Batch closeup shot at the monument with Crosshair and Cody

[@AuoraWolf5911]

21:56 the reason the Twileks are french have absolutely nothing to die with slaves they have French accents because since they’re really attractive aliens and also French is considered the most romantic language

[@konstantinosnikolakakis8125]

Also, when Julius Caesar conquered Gaul (France) for Rome, about 1 million or so Gauls were enslaved by the Romans.

[@danielleighton4161]

The reason is because of the ww2 French resistance.

[@Popcorn23]

This was a good iceberg considering I learned stuff at the end but I think the very top should be stuff that a casual fan that hasn’t seen the show would know

[@yourbestpallshawn4139]

The old rebel has been retconned to be Rex and another cool thing is that he’s the old rebel that steals a storm trooper uniform just like Rex has plenty of times before.

[@geoff420]

One of my favourite easter eggs in the clone wars is sergeant Appo who is obviously a reference to Appa from Avatar The Last Airbender. Other than the names being similar, Appo's helmet has the arrow similar to Appa, and Dee Bradley Baker voices both characters and Dave Filoni was a director in ATLA. Pretty cool!

[@jewishspacelaseroperator5410]

Rebels iceberg next?

[@Jaybe777]

Okay I saw the video was 27 minutes, and I was like, “enh I’ll watch a couple” but the pace and subjects were really good, and kept me hooked all the way.

[@kal9908]

R2k2 is just 1 example of starwars connection to the fans. I can't list them all in a comment but it's worth looking into if you don't know not only the real 501st involvement but other real clubs and fandums

[@Person-wz6iy]

The Indiana Jones references in the show are cool too!

[@the_feedle]

22:08 If I remember well they are two explanations for the french accent of the Twi'leks 1) Twi'leks have the reputation of being beautiful and seductive, just like the stereotype of the "romantic french" 2) The Twi'lek resistance movement was inspired by the french resistance movement during WW2

[@PocoLocoEXE]

It’s honestly funny Mark Hamil went from being the galaxy’s jedi boy next door, to voicing some of the most diabolical villans🤡

[@candystickdonut]

I started watching the show as an adult as I did not have it available to me until recently and it is amazing

[@GTSHProductions]

I love this! Super cool to dive into this stuff. Although, I am surprised to not see anything about the deleted episodes/arcs like the Boba Fett/Cad Bane arc, formerly deleted Bad Batch arc, Maul escaping Sidious, Ventress arc, and the Anakin/Obi Wan arc. Also there’s a whole side story with Kix discovering Order 66 as well that wasn’t mentioned. Other than that, great video!

[@lifevest1]

Here is a super deep iceberg entry. In the episode "The Academy", in the classroom, after Korkie states something along the lines of "you sound like my mother, more than a jedi" the school bell rings. If you listen very closely once the bell ends, you can hear what sounds like a faint truck backup "beep" in the background as Ahsoka stares back at him. Could this just be nothing or is it possible that during the recording session, somehow, in someway, the microphone picked up a construction or garbage truck backing up outside of the studio?

[@twanger5819]

There's a few other things that I remember or heard about too. I don't remember the particular scene, but I remember hearing Rex one time say "light it up like a Christmas tree" on an original cartoon network airing. Another thing is one of the clones said a curse word on the episode Rookies. And, the weirdest one to me, somebody online once asked about a commercial with footage from Landing at Point Rain with some licensed music playing over it. Lost media type stuff.

[@jsrocker248]

Anyone else watched the theatrical release? At the time, it was something that wasn't seen before where they had plans to makes this into a weekly series right after the movie ended, which I was so stoked to be a part of. I enjoyed it thoroughly, even more so after watching Epi III 3 years earlier and needed that next level planning in the SW Universe.

[@dantankboy4155]

Please make civil war iceberg part 2! Keep up the good work!

[@RayHardman7567]

Saw the movie in theaters as a kid. Blew my mind. I like to thing the imperial march is the main theme of the sith. After all, it's just a lower bass replica of the Republic anthem. And the sith live to mach everything the Jedi stand for. Now as for the two Anakin's theory, how exactly would that work? At the end of the show, we see him leave with Kenobi on the same ship. Presumably they were on the bridge the entire time trying to figure out what's happening and come up with a plan. How could he be replaced if they went to the hanger together after they arrived over the capital?

[@enderjammer5035]

Cad Banes Hat doesn't look anything like Indiana Jones hat, however in season 4 episode 16 when Cad Bane, Moralo Eval, and Obi-Wan (disguised as Rako Hardeen) go to get new clothes and weapons after escaping prison, Bane does initially pick up a fedora (like Indiana Jones) and then puts it down to select a hat more befitting of his type. His hat is more like Angel Eyes's hat from "The Good the Bad and the Ugly"

[@МирославКашеба]

Also there are a rumor that Dave Filoni created Cad Bane from himself and gave him hat like he has.

[@chapmanblake1902]

I think a good one for the next video would be “Episode 3 master cuts”. When the final season dropped, a lot of fans made edits of Episode 3, the final episodes set during Order 66, and even the Battle of Coruscant into chronological movies. I watched it this way as a 7-hour cut before watching it all separate, and I'd recommend it to any Star Wars fan as the most compelling way to see 66 play out.

[@tanman173]

Where can I find this?

[@Dugupspud]

R2 KT recently became a 25th anniversary lego figure in one of the sets this year

[@marcwhitlock5002]

@3:30 One of the reasons this show was so great was at the beginning it was pretty tame and you could make that "it's for kids" argument and that's probably where it came from but as you grow up in real life the show does to, it gets darker and more adult oriented as the show goes on. Also I remember Watto's character along with Nate Gunray getting heat for stereotyping a greedy jew and a greedy Asain.

[@josephkosak7408]

„maybe all of our clone friends never existed“ - I feel you, they are as real to me ^^

[@seandonntheg8433]

Lucas first referenced the 501st by naming the blue painted clones from episode 3 as such in one of the promotional materials, and their lore was first expanded upon in the original battlefront 2s campaign, years before they were in the Clone Wars show

[@brookofbobafett]

there is a kind of convention on at least pow rights in universe, the yavin code, which is mentioned by obi-wan in the unfinished crystal crisis arc when a battle droid is preparing to execute him. presumably there’s other stuff in there that’s analogous to our geneva convention, but it’s never made clear

[@tovarisch3490]

[@fives_.5154]

One point on the twileks having French accents- though the French themselves weren’t enslaved, they certainly colonised huge parts of Africa so there is a high chance that many enslaved people over history have spoken French. But I think the main reason the twileks have French accents is because, especially in the original trilogy, twileks were dancers and sex symbols and French is the language of love

[@kelvinbrown7131]

I have a theory about the intro quotes. The quotes are really Jedi Teachings that are being passed down from Master to Padawan.

[@jacksonyon5276]

Wow I knew almost all of these. Would love a part 2

[@TheMimiSard]

Rex On Endor and Nick Sant - I read a shortfic about Luke talking to Rex on Shuttle Tyderium on the way to Endor. That fic had Luke considering he has trouble differentiating between Rex and Nick. I like that idea, that the team had two older bearded members.

[@TheMimiSard]

The other point on Korkie Kryze is it is very unclear who - if not a "Korkie Kenobi" scenario - is his mother. Bo-Katan was kidnapped as a child and brainwashed into becoming Death Watch. Now I admit, I have one idea of a possible background, besides the obvious idea of a third Kryze sibling, and that is Korkie is not Satine's direct nephew, but the son of a cousin within the Kyrze Clan. When his parents were killed for one reason or another, Satine, as head of the Clan, took guardianship over him. The Aunt/Nephew titling is not a direct Ba'Vodu/Bu'Ad link, but more honourary titles as they are kindred and Satine is an adult while Korkie is still a minor. This concept of Korkie not being a direct nephew is one based on my own family relationships. I grew up in a church where I had three aunts who were also members. Only one of those women was Mum's sister, while the other two were second cousins to Mum. It is a shortcut title acknowledging a relative who is an adult when one is a child, so I feel that could be a valid interpretation of how Korkie is related to Satine.

[@TheMimiSard]

Well the Zillo Beast was confirmed to have been cloned, but the clone Zillo is on Wayland, and probably stayed there after the destruction of Mt Tantis. Still no idea why Palps wanted it cloned, but in the end Omega used it as a distraction.

I always thought the mandalorians were a stand in for Sweden or Germany. Not only are all the mandalorians blonde hair and blue eyes they have a warrior culture (like the Vikings or Prussia) and after horrible defeats and learning that war is bad they have turned peaceful and neutral (kinda) but they could still probably kick some ass

[@littlechickeyhudak]

I wonder if he or someone else just misunderstood the criticism. I’ve never seen anything outright suggesting that Mandalorian culture is based on Polynesian culture, but Temuera Morrison who played Jango and the clones IS kiwi, despite all of the clones in the show depicted with much lighter skin and more European features. I’m wondering if that criticism got confused somewhere along the line and was applied to Mandalorians instead of clones

[@bigcountry8652]

The Korkie-Wan theory is pretty cool, but the timeline doesn't add up like at all. Korkies a teen in the show, meaning he'd be born about 10 years before the war. Around the same time, Obi Wan dealt with losing Qui Gon & taking Anakin under his wing. When in that time frame could he do the dirty? At best he'd have done it months or weeks prior to the events of TPM, but by then he was too devoted to the jedi code and proving himself to the council and his master. The fact that Kenobi doesn't seem to know Bokatan is related in the s5 arc, nor does he ever mention looking for the boy or ask if he's alright during the battle kinda seals the deal on this one.

[@andersondonttalkoutloud]

It does make sense in the timeline - Satine's and Obi-Wan's romance happened few years before Phantom Menace, during the time when Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were assigned to protect Satine for a year because of mandalorian "revolution attempts" and the radical mandalorians wanted to kill her. Obi-Wan was 25 years old in the phantom Menace, so his age also "supports" the theory. Also if Obi-Wan knew about Korkie, he definitely would have left the Jedi order, and most probably Satine wouldn't tell Obi-Wan that he has a kid.

[@nauticalfiction4795]

Also idk if kenobi ever met kyorki, and given the fact she is a dutchess I don’t think she was worried about child support from a monk

[@SgtGunner_aka]

the inhibitor chip at least the idea of something outside of the clones own freewill guiding them is like the first thing they say about the clones in attack of the clones, that being said i like the 501st journal from battlefront 2 i think it as well as some comics/books explaining that the clones always knew what their true purpose was and hated the jedi because they treated them like equipment and not people was a perfectly fine explanation for what happened but with how clone wars personalized the clones it really just doesn't work at all so inhibitor chips solve a problem the show created.

[@dennis.edich1998]

Yeah. Killing their Jedi generals in Legends makes just as much sense as killing them in Canon and I'll explain why: In Canon, the inhibitor-chips exist as a failsafe to make sure every clone carries out Order 66 while in Legends they don't exist and are not needed. Canon clones and Legends clones have different paths in their lives and developed differently during the Clone Wars. In both continuities, the Jedi Order starts out feeling uncomfortable with the blind obedience in the clones. The thing is, they take different approches to this issue. In Legends, most Jedi keep a professional relationship with the clones, which does nothing to counter the dislike the clones have to the Jedi for being too peaceful. In this case, it makes sense for the clones to unhesitatingly follow Order 66 because in a way there is no choice other than the state. They are conscious of what they're doing, but with the exception of Arc-troopers and Clone Commandos, what reason do Legends clones have to betray the state they swore loyalty to for leaders they don't like? Clones and Jedi created much weaker bonds due to all this. In Canon, the Jedi instead try to influence the clones. They teach them to be more human and more independent thinkers. They have close friendships with them. The Jedi and Clones become comrades. Now, would some Canon Clones still carry out Order 66 by their free will? Yes. Just look at Dogma and Crosshair before they realize their mistakes. However, wouldn't most Canon Clones hesitate to kill their Jedi leaders before following orders, thus alerting the Jedi? I mean, the clones were even reluctant to execute Pong Krell, an actual traitor who hated clones. Dogma had to do it and felt like he needed to justify himself right afterwards. Both versions of Clones started out the same but turned out to bs different where it counts. They were both heavily indoctrinated into being absolutely obedient and being less human during their training on Kamino and at the start of the Clone Wars, but as I stated, the Jedi in Canon did so much more to convince the clones to become more independent than they ever did in Legends, where the clones remain more like they were originally raised by the Kaminoans.

[@SgtGunner_aka]

In the original star wars battlefront 2 for PS2 and Xbox original the story mode had you playing as a clone of the 501st legion. If my memory serves correct your tropper and the tropper who is your commanding officer (who provides exposition via text on the loading screens between missions) are 1st gen clones of the original 501st legion. You fight in the first battle of geonosis and the second, the battle of kashyyyk and many other famous battles of the clone wars. If I remember correctly its made clear you survive the jedi purge (which u participate in with Darth Vader) and the 501st clones are made imperials. Idk how this meshes with other legends stuff but in the game it's explained the 501st remained one of the few largely clone legions in the empire because Vader trusted them more than regular humans and it became his personal legion after the purge. It doesn't really mesh with most of legends or Canon lore but it was the first time I ever heard about the 501st and definitely holds a special place in my heart.

The Star Wars kids channel had an animated video that pretty much confirmed the dude on Endor was Rex.

About the propaganda theory at 26:20 I have always imagined the 2008 clone wars show is like a myth or a story that an elder or your grandmother would tell you about when you’re a kid so it’s given an outlandish look to it and that’s also why the character designs are kinda over the top with some people or species

The idea of Obi-Wan paying child support made me lose it lmfao

[@anthonyludwig2891]

Disney’s since confirmed it is Rex on Endor via artwork

[@Adam-xf6sq]

Captain Rex shares a name with the pilot droid from Disney’s Star Tours ride.

No idea why they didn’t give Hayden the role. I feel like one of the main things that make kids not wanna watch animated versions of their stories is the characters sounding different. I feel like the show would sell way better if they had the same actors for as many characters as possible

I think the part about "sad parts" not being convenient for the propaganda can actually be explained. The massacre on Umbara happens because of a traitor to the republic, who is a JEDI. As we know, later on order 66 is to take place, so showing this absolute meatgrinder happen because of a traitorous jedi would only be a very smart move from Palps' side. That way, he is laying the foundations for his anti-jedi "campaign" People would easily believe what he said later, if they saw how jedi can be traitors

[@WWNbroadcasts]

15:13 imagine if he tried to make a call for help and another trooper says “ridge your coms are static” and then he dies that would be sadder Also to the clone anakin theory I think the fact he just saw Ashoka again is why he is so happy
