Grievous’ reveal in this show is still arguably the coolest Star Wars scene outside of the hallway scene from Rogue One. Also, I really wish they’d bring Durge back, he was pretty cool.
I think they mean that it was so beloved and successful it had them making the Clone Wars series, which they are still spinning off spin offs from to this day. A series that made an entire generation emotionally invest themselves in a series they already knew was going to break their hearts in the end.
Actually, 2 months before RotS, not 2 years. Last episode premiered 3/25/2005. RotS was 5/19/2005. This show was meant to be a direct tie in to the movie.
In the last episodes, the tribal folk were speaking a muffled/dumbed down/incorrect version of Hungarian. Just saying. When they said "volt kezed" at Anakin, it literally means "you had a hand." You are welcome for this trivia!
From what I read, they basically wrote the lines in Hungarian and then had people who didn’t know Hungarian read the lines in order to make it sound alien
@Carlos Lopez-Ortega Darth vader's ''NOOOOOOO'' is not bad in my opinion. (ROTS version, rotj moment when he says no it is kinda not good but revenge of the sith nooooo is not bad.
I just wanted to point out that if you think Padmé and Ventress sound familiar, it’s because it’s Azula’s voice actress voicing both of them. It’s like they split her personality in two, and it’s freaking weird.
Back when you could believe that Grievous was a general who waged a [semi]-successful 3-year war against the Republic *and* was a qualified Jedi-killer. Good times.
And his IG-100 magnaguards were actual threats instead of weak mooks that padawan Ahsoka called "stick tinnies" and could easily wipe out in a 3 v 1 fight
Lol, this a LOT more factual holes in it than I’d ever expect to find in an Honest Trailer but it turns out the comment section already has you covered. XD
Well, Ventress had a name during this cartoon, and yes, there´s a Durge and a Voolvif Monn action figures. And nope, this cartoon wasn´t aired after the prequels, indeed, it was aired between 2003 and 2005, just between episodes 2 and 3.

@Millennial Falcon You weren't paying attention hahahaha Twice he made a joke/rant about the 2003 show giving people more content after the prequels were made, or to hype people for the 2008 animated movie and subsequent series (which is incorrect). Just rewatch the video, you'll find twice he makes this inaccurate assumption of the 2003 series being after the 2005 prequels wrapped up. To save your other research, the last 2003 clone wars series episodes finished airing 'March 25, 2005' and SW episode 3 (the last prequel) was released 'may 19, 2005'. 3 years later, the 2008 animated movie and subsequent new clone wars tv show were a whole separate attempt to revive new Star Wars content.
@Millennial Falcon I just ask that people don't spread false information on simple things. If you're going to make fun of something, at least make fun of it for what it does and don't make up stuff about it like it's fact. But what did you draw from this video?
HT: “WHY DON’T THEY HAVE ACTION FIGURES FOR THESE GUYS?” *I stare at the unopened Durge figure that I keep in my cabinet of Star Wars merch* “Heh heh. Mine.” 😏
I saw this series and it was terrible. The animation is bad, Grievous' voice is wrong, Jedi are too OP, it's too short, etc. This is why we have the REAL Clone Wars.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395Its cartoony but the animation has its own certain charm. Jedi are supposed to be OP ,and these are the masters. It was always underwhelming how easily they fell in the movies . Like pew pew *Blehhh* ded . Now its clear why Palpatine had to goto such lengths through subterfuge for defeating them. They are absolute beasts . Too short is very true . A whole of that would have been much better than the 3rd movie . Alas "I dont like sand" is what we'll forever be stuck with.
True Believer Tony also, literally every character he mentioned has an action figure (or even multiple figures). There are like 4 different Durge figures out there. Plus, they aren’t rebooting the spin off but making a “spin off of the spin off” with Cassian series
"Made to promote a movie that wasn't very good." Excuse me? This wasn't made to promote the Clone Wars 3-D movie. This was made explicitly to bridge episode II and III.
@@zenv9180 - They show a shot from The Clone Wars movie of Ahsoka holding "Stinky," the child of Jabba The Hutt. Whatever the writers meant, the inference from showing that shot is that they are talking about TCW movie, not AOTC or ROTS.
Genndy said Grevious was a last minute addition to the movie so the animators didn't know a lot about how he was supposed to move so just made him a badass.
There actually was two action figures of Durge... One is in the 2003 Clone Wars style. The other was just in the more realistic, articulated normally and came packaged with Durge's custom Swoop bike.
@@ajh3461 Grievous was like the Winter Soldier against Falcon, Natasha, and Fury. An unstoppable force. But he was always going to lose against the more powerful jedi.
Uh, Asajj Ventress was not nameless when this came out. And they definitely made action figures of Saesee Tiin and Durge (who even came with a jousting pole.)
@@battlesheep2552 I heard that Bly just wanted to make a quick end of Aayla and that was why they went for overkill, but that was why a lot of clones didn't feel remorse or hesitancy for killing the Jedi.
@@leovk5779 Actually, since they've done both Batman and X-Men 90's cartoons, they need to do Spider-Man TAS. Yes, the one everyone memes how he couldn't hit anyone.
Ten year old me was introduced to star wars with general grievous smashing a Jedi's head to the ground. I've been getting disappointed at every other star wars thing for 2 decades.
This was my first introduction to Star Wars too. Trust me dude, you're not only to say that you're interpretation of Star Wars was different from everyone else.
Remember that boy in a straw hat (that isn't suprisingly Monkey D. Luffy) who was watching the battle on Dantoine in which Mace just annailated everything and then he offered him a water canister? Man. That was art. Also it showed that not all people weren't unfond of Jedi.
*inhales* "Ventress was already named though, just not in the series, iirc she was first named in the republic comic series, with her appearance in them being before her episodes of 2003 clone wars being released"
Hells angel jousting guy is called Durge and I’ve got a figure of him ventress and this version of grevious which are no doubt my favourite figures ever
Also Ventress was a thing before this Clone Wars, too. Both Ventress and Durge got introduced in the original clone wars comics. They murdered a bunch of gungans together with a bioweapon. Yes, that happened. But Grievous was introduced here, and then in the comics he was the same unstoppable beast based on fear and dread. Not a cough machine punching droids because he is throwing a tantrum.
@@battlesheep2552 Even the most obsessive TCW fans will admit that Grievous was basically the Jar Jar of that show. A show that in fact even had the _actual_ Jar Jar in it!
I believe after season 7, that the ground battle is canon only exaggerated, and the first volume all to the Knighting Ceremony could also be canon, 'cause The Clone Wars didn't cover that part.
I just came here to say that we did. We DID get "WHERE IS MY ARTICULATED WOLF MAN JEDI" guy. His name is Voolvif Mon and it's a real figure haha! We also got several of the other side characters in this series, including Durge and Foul Moudama. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
@@allowableman2 Not really. Initially they had a slot of 3 minutes per episode. Try making a character drama minutes at a time, knowing that the episodes wil be televised out of order.
it can still be canon, it doesnt contradict much, Just pretend ventress survived the fall against anakin and also pretend grievous was coughing the whole time instead of only after windu punctured his lungs cuz that happened literally right before ROTS starts timeline wise.
Um, these guys do realize this series came out _in between_ Episodes II and III right? It didn't come out after and it wasn't made to promote the Clone Wars movie.
*Puts on thick-rimmed glasses* - Uh, actually, every one of the characters listed had their own action figure. 8 year old me cost my parents a lot of money for those guys
We watched this series aired in Bangladesh in around 2006 and hands down, one of the best; it was this animation series of the Clone Wars chapter that made me love the Star Wars franchise. Future series never lived up to the hype or reputation of this one. Thanks for finally making an honest trailer about this.
Man I’m old enough to remember when the first season of this was just 5 minute shorts with literally no dialogue at times. You HAD to watch these in order to get some of the things in episode III. Such good times
Can we take a moment to appreciate and then subsequently be depressed at how incredibly more badass this Grievous was than the one we got in the movie? The choatic fight skills, the ruthless drive, the fearlessness, the chilling voice, the stark all-white design.
@@greenmonsterprod Yeah, this series actually explains why Grievous is in terrible shape in RotS. I wasn't surprised he was all coughing because he sounded just like that after Mace crushed him.
Yeah, he was like a regal Terminator straight out of a tense horror movie in this series, but every version of him afterwards was just weak sauce Dr. Claw.
I remember being so excited to see more of Grievous in ROTS because of how badass he was in this series. I was extremely disappointed by him in that movie.
The 2008 film (which I liked) was actually the first three episodes of the new series edited together for a theatrical release. Correct; there was no true connection with the earlier series.
i'm disappointed they didn't do more with him or even bring him into the new clone wars series. Dude was a regular badass putting obi-wan through the paces.

@0:49 - "Even though these animated shorts were made to promote a movie that wasn't very good" [while showing a scene from "Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)] These were all released before Revenge of the Sith, which came out in 2005. If anything they were made to promote THAT movie and form a little bridge from AOTC to ROTS so that people would be familiar with General Grievous and some of the other Jedi they were going to see in ROTS and to give them some backstory and emotional attachment. They were NOT created to promote The Clone Wars movie which came out years later, it hadn't even been thought of at the time. In fact, The Clone Wars movie was basically a 3 or 4 episode arc from the series put out in theaters to promote the upcoming series, not the other way around. @3:47 - "That kept Star Wars alive after the prequels" - This did not come out "after the prequels," it came out between the second and third prequel. In what way did this keep Star Wars alive "after the prequels"? If anything, The Clone Wars movie and subsequent series did that more than these did. I love when "Honest Trailers" is honest, but not when it is factually inaccurate. Someone in that group of writers had to know that this was just plain incorrect. It makes the writing seem lazy when you make a joke based on something that's just not true.

Like Windu's fight on Dantooine. (That really felt like a sports drink ad, anyone else?)
And yet Samurai Jack had some really good dialogue and character work.

Twice he made a joke/rant about the 2003 show giving people more content after the prequels were made, or to hype people for the 2008 animated movie and subsequent series (which is incorrect). Just rewatch the video, you'll find twice he makes this inaccurate assumption of the 2003 series being after the 2005 prequels wrapped up.
To save your other research, the last 2003 clone wars series episodes finished airing 'March 25, 2005' and SW episode 3 (the last prequel) was released 'may 19, 2005'. 3 years later, the 2008 animated movie and subsequent new clone wars tv show were a whole separate attempt to revive new Star Wars content.
@Millennial Falcon
I just ask that people don't spread false information on simple things. If you're going to make fun of something, at least make fun of it for what it does and don't make up stuff about it like it's fact. But what did you draw from this video?
Guys this wasn't "made to advertise" the 2008 movie. It aired in 2003 between Eps II & III.
Thank you. I was like "uhmm no it wasn't a promo for the Clone wars movie".
They made a lot of mistakes in this one
It's clear he has basically no idea what this show is and didn't even attempt to fact check

Seriously, where's my black series 6 inch Shaak Ti, Roron Corobb, Foul Moudama, Aayla Secura and Admiral Ackbar.
The only show that made general grievous an actual threat.
The lack of research in this... This Clone Wars series was released before Episode III. It actually directly led into the opening of the film.
They're probably busy working on the video for 08 already so this one might have been rushed.
bluehero96 Or they did their research from UA-cam comments 😁
I saw this series and it was terrible. The animation is bad, Grievous' voice is wrong, Jedi are too OP, it's too short, etc. This is why we have the REAL Clone Wars.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395Its cartoony but the animation has its own certain charm.
Jedi are supposed to be OP ,and these are the masters. It was always underwhelming how easily they fell in the movies . Like pew pew *Blehhh* ded . Now its clear why Palpatine had to goto such lengths through subterfuge for defeating them. They are absolute beasts .
Too short is very true . A whole of that would have been much better than the 3rd movie .
Alas "I dont like sand" is what we'll forever be stuck with.
True Believer Tony also, literally every character he mentioned has an action figure (or even multiple figures). There are like 4 different Durge figures out there. Plus, they aren’t rebooting the spin off but making a “spin off of the spin off” with Cassian series

General grevious was a badass in this cartoon
Genndy said Grevious was a last minute addition to the movie so the animators didn't know a lot about how he was supposed to move so just made him a badass.
Kill jedi shaggy? Instant badass.
He's legit horrifying. A Jedi Master like Shaak Ti was justifiably afraid of him.
General Grevious was downright Terrifying!
There actually was two action figures of Durge...
One is in the 2003 Clone Wars style. The other was just in the more realistic, articulated normally and came packaged with Durge's custom Swoop bike.

Hells angel jousting guy is called Durge and I’ve got a figure of him ventress and this version of grevious which are no doubt my favourite figures ever
Lucky. Those three are the series’ trinity of kickass villains.
Also Ventress was a thing before this Clone Wars, too. Both Ventress and Durge got introduced in the original clone wars comics. They murdered a bunch of gungans together with a bioweapon. Yes, that happened.
But Grievous was introduced here, and then in the comics he was the same unstoppable beast based on fear and dread. Not a cough machine punching droids because he is throwing a tantrum.
@@Grivehn although Mace Windu did force crush a part of his chest at the end of this series.
@@Johnny0lovely69 Yes, and Grievous was coughing after on his ship. That makes sense. Coughing for years before that, less so.
Last I checked, this show came out during the time of the prequels, more specifically to promote Revenge of the Sith.
These shorts weren't made to promote the 2008 movie, they were made between episode II and episode III and 2002-2003.
That’s what they meant. They were saying Revenge of the Sith was a bad movie.
@@darknight10000 then why did they show The Clone Wars movie while saying "promote a movie that wasn't very good"?
Lets just say the ground battle of Coruscant is canon.
Until Filoni does anything about that prelude to Revenge of the Sith... yup. CANON.
Doubt it, canon Grievous isn’t that cool
@@battlesheep2552 Even the most obsessive TCW fans will admit that Grievous was basically the Jar Jar of that show. A show that in fact even had the _actual_ Jar Jar in it!
I believe after season 7, that the ground battle is canon only exaggerated, and the first volume all to the Knighting Ceremony could also be canon, 'cause The Clone Wars didn't cover that part.
@@DATFilms I think Dave did confirm it is cannon
I just came here to say that we did. We DID get "WHERE IS MY ARTICULATED WOLF MAN JEDI" guy. His name is Voolvif Mon and it's a real figure haha!
We also got several of the other side characters in this series, including Durge and Foul Moudama.

I love the Clone Wars tv series, but part of me is still sad this masterpiece by Genndy Tartakovsky got cut from the cannon.
Especially his version of Grievous...
There were good action scenes and moments of brilliance but story and voice acting wise the're lackluster
@@allowableman2 Not really. Initially they had a slot of 3 minutes per episode.
Try making a character drama minutes at a time, knowing that the episodes wil be televised out of order.
The one thing that is canon is Mace Windu striking Grievous's lung I believe, which gives him his iconic cough
it can still be canon, it doesnt contradict much, Just pretend ventress survived the fall against anakin and also pretend grievous was coughing the whole time instead of only after windu punctured his lungs cuz that happened literally right before ROTS starts timeline wise.
@@iswiftyfox8997I'm Also supposed to pretend that Grievous can sometimes handle 3 Jedi council members and sometimes being beaten by Gungans?
Um, these guys do realize this series came out _in between_ Episodes II and III right? It didn't come out after and it wasn't made to promote the Clone Wars movie.
yeah it was made to promote Revenge
the TCW film came out three years afterwards
The crappy Clone Wars movie was made to promote the excellent show. I'm sensing a pattern here.

@0:49 - "Even though these animated shorts were made to promote a movie that wasn't very good" [while showing a scene from "Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)]
These were all released before Revenge of the Sith, which came out in 2005. If anything they were made to promote THAT movie and form a little bridge from AOTC to ROTS so that people would be familiar with General Grievous and some of the other Jedi they were going to see in ROTS and to give them some backstory and emotional attachment. They were NOT created to promote The Clone Wars movie which came out years later, it hadn't even been thought of at the time. In fact, The Clone Wars movie was basically a 3 or 4 episode arc from the series put out in theaters to promote the upcoming series, not the other way around.
@3:47 - "That kept Star Wars alive after the prequels" - This did not come out "after the prequels," it came out between the second and third prequel. In what way did this keep Star Wars alive "after the prequels"? If anything, The Clone Wars movie and subsequent series did that more than these did.
I love when "Honest Trailers" is honest, but not when it is factually inaccurate. Someone in that group of writers had to know that this was just plain incorrect. It makes the writing seem lazy when you make a joke based on something that's just not true.
