Honestly that arc gets overhated. I do agree its one of the weaker arcs of the series as a whole but it does have some positives like addressing the Jedis negligence towards the public as a result of being so occupied with the Clone War and proves whats been said time and time again. That the Jedi have lost their way. Hell even the sisters themselves are far from the worst characters I have ever seen in Star Wars. Could they be better? Oh definitely. But they are not a crime against storytelling or something. I guarantee you if Filoni went with the original character design he had the backlash would be similar.
I actually have a friend working on fanfics about those kinds of stories. I may be pro-Galactic Republic, but the Separatist are very interesting too and its good to see there side of things too.
@@jamesw3413 I know right. I understand the writers wanted to explain and lead into how Ahsoka ended up teaming up with Bo-Katan and going to Mandalore, but we didn't need four episodes to do that, we could have done it in one maybe two, so that the other episodss could have been used for other unfinished story arcs like Cad Bane vs Boba Fett, the Yuzangvong stuff, or that story where Padme and Anakin were going to go to Mon Cala to get others to support Padme in opposing Palpatine's growing power.
@@jamesw34134 episodes for that bullshít garbage filler arc💀 and back then bad batch was on weekly release so we had all that hype to suffer that stupid arc for that whole while
The Crystal Crisis arc would've been worth it to watch after how Grievous went through being villain of the week throughout the Clone Wars series. Because this version of Grievous is what the 2008 TCW has seen little of aside from his lair and when he decimated the night sisters.
Crystal crisis arc was the before bridge link to revenge of the sith... I remember when i was still in the military when one of my company unit was watching this on UA-cam while explaining what was Happening . years later I forgotten this now forbidden chapters exist
The conversation between Obi-Wan and Anakin when they make camp always reminds me of this: "I wasn't strong enough to save you mom. I wasn't strong enough, but I promise I won't fail again." And it makes me cry every single time.
My favorite scenes from this arc are definitely Anakin and Obi-Wan’s talk about Ahsoka, Anakin being gunslinger against the Suggi, and Grevious killing Edente.
You realise of course, that it COULD be done, but the bloody mindedness of "Disney Corp" would NEVER allow us to do this, not even if we bought the rights to it. They could NEVER allow themselves to "shown up by these .. upstarts." And yet, they're "shown up by upstarts" daily here on UA-cam. TAKE THAT 🖕 DISNEY!!
There is a group of fans working on Son of Dathomir. I will do Crystal Crisis once I learn how to animate if someone doesn’t beat me to it. I will also do parts of the prequels
The Dark disciple got retconned. I hate how the crystal arc is still unfinished. That conversation between Anakin and Obi-wan was great. Also not sure how I feel about episode 3 locations being met before than return again like they never been there before. Also the reels of Boba Fett and his crew fighting Dooku were also sadly not finished either.
@darthmmc7660 is it? Wasn't Ventress supposed to be not alive anymore and yet she is shown healthy in Bad Batch? We don't even know about what's going on with Vos
A friend of mine is a mountaineer and on their graduation assignment he told me a story. Every military drills caution at any time. Which means irregular attacks for days on end in the snow and cold. He said that after some days of that you stop to care. The people attacking them were of course their comrades posing as the enemy. One of them being his sergeant. Because he wasn't sure whether that guy was already marked as dead, he shot him point blank as they went on. He was never questioned about it but he told me that he just didn't care anymore. The same is bound to happen to anyone getting the hardest assignments for three years straight. It's this psychological complacency towards death and destruction that Sidious wanted and the Jedi needed to stay sane.
The Sugi Arms Dealers were originally created for Lucas’ live action Underworld show, but were placed into this one after Underworld was canceled like the Pykes and Highsinger.
A Clone Wars Legacy season could include: DARK DISCIPLE Lethal Alliance The Mission Conspirators Dark Disciple SON OF DATHOMIR The Enemy of My Enemy A Tale of Two Apprentices Proxy War Showdown on Dathomir SAVING VOS Saving Vos, Part I Saving Vos, Part II Traitor The Path CRYSTAL CRISIS ON UTAPAU A Death on Utapau In Search of the Crystal Crystal Crisis The Big Bang
Thankfully because it's an animated show, there's still a chance we could get the deleted arcs in the future. I'm not sure I have as much faith in Disney actually delivering that, but it's really all the fans want at the moment.
Disney’s purchase of Star Wars will never fail to bother me, and I continue to find another reason to be bothered by it. It’s old news that always seems to be renewed anew again and again. Every decision Disney ever did affected the future of Star Wars in a negative way. The cancellation of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a prime example of this. The Jedi Council, who some anti-Jedi critics will call things like incompetent, was supposed to have episodes where they continued their investigation into the Sidious’s identity, instead of letting people think they were just sitting on their asses or kissing the Republic’s. That’s an example of the negative impact Disney has had. As for the Crystal Crisis Arc, it goes over things like demonstrates and reminds us why Anakin was not granted the rank of Master in Revenge of the Sith, seeing him act aggressive and flashy unnecessarily, as well as show anger and impatience when restraint is necessitated throughout the four episodes but most notably in the first two, between the Toydarian owner and his fight with one of the Magnaguards when he and Obi-Wan needed information, not elimination. As a bonus, this arc reminds us that Grevious is indeed scary and strong and not ‘nerfed’. All these things and more could have a lot of good impact among members of the fan base, but we’re probably never gonna get that now.
This arc was definitly a lot of fun and its a real shame it never got properly finished, but maybe in a future show the events will at least be referenced or alluded to like how the metal plate Cad Bane has over his head in the Bad Batch implied that his showdown with Boba Fett in another of The Clone Wars unfinished arcs did happen and later fully confirmed by the dailgou Boba and Cad exhancged in The Book of Boba Fett. Some of my favorite parts of this arc was the scenes with Obi-Wan and Anakin, their banter was as fun as ever and like you said really shows how they are such good friends and the emotional moments with them talking about Ahsoka were great too, Anakin actually being open about his feelings instead of trying to cover them up in an attempt to be an ideal Jedi and Obi-Wan being a good friend lending an ear and trying to help his friend, both are trying here to be good Jedi and do whats right, but as Qui-Gon once said the life of a Jedi is not easy, as you pointed out in this arc even Obi-Wan one of the best Jedi there is can slip sometimes its just part of being Human or should I say Sentiant given the vast number of different speicies in the Star Wars Universe, and unfortuantly, that can be manipulated by Palpatine to later turn Anakin to the Dark Side, also refelctive in how he tricked the entire Galaxy, including the Jedi, into fighting each other and weakening each other so he could take over. Another great thing about this arc is like you said, the portrayal of General Grevious. Now I'm going to say something thats probably an unpopular opinion, but I didn't mind Grevious characterization in The Clone Wars, with the excpetion of him lossing to the Gungans that really sucked, because the writers of The Clone Wars were trying to make him more in line with George's orginal ideas for him to be a mustachu twirling villian that can sometimes put up a good fight and be threat but more often then not has to retreat. However, I did feel the writers need to make him at least somewhat competent which in the first season and the afformentioned Gungan episodes he wasn't, but at least in Grevious Integure and the Battle of Kamino he was a decent threat and by the time of Season 4 I think the writers found a good middle ground with Grevious making him a good threat but not super op, as seen by his fight with Ventress and slaughtering of the Night Sisters in Season 4 and his attacks on Adi-Galia and Obi-Wan's Fleets in Season 4 and 5. Still through, it is a massive shame that his best moments were in this unfinished episode that never got properly made. Grevious is a difficult character to write for, I should know I wrote a lot of Clone Wars era fanfics so Grevious shows up sometimes, you want to make him a good threat and foe for the Jedi, but you don't want to make him seem to strong like the 2003 Clone Wars Micro-Series(I do love that series and I think Grevious is really cool there but still it has flaws with the portrayal in my opinion) where he can beat multiple Jedi at once because then it doesn't seem believable that Obi-Wan all alone could beat him and so easily as shown in the Revenge of The Sith Movie, you have to find the middle ground with Grevious, which later seasons of The Clone Wars and Crystal Crisis seems to nail if you ask me.
I think Anakin’s feelings about Ahsoka leaving would be further explored in another arc being return to the Jedi/sith shrine arc where Ahsoka returns to warn the Jedi about her discovery of an old Sith temple under the Jedi Temple
I think almost everyone got something wrong, to be tried under military court she coudnt be a jedi so she was kicked out but later she was offerd to REJOIN because you cant leave something you arent a part of but you can enter or reenter it, that changes a lot about how much it was her decision and how much rest of jedi
Not mentioning the unexpected competency of the OOM droids crewing Grevious' Shuttle is absolutely criminal; not to mention I believe this is the only star wars arc to correctly depict OOM Pilot droids (markings and all) crewing Separatist warships.
I almost agree with you at the end However disney bringing back ahsoka was a huge mistake. It took all the weight of how anakin felt away. If she wouldve stayed gone/ killed it wouldve made his fall to the darkside betraying all his friends more believable
My only issues with this arc is there’s litteraly no clones in it, and we all know clones are the best part! But the arc does a great job at making grevious look menacing and ruthless
They kinda did something like that in rebels when ezra worked with saw infiltrating a cargo transport and found the giant kyber crystal meant for the deathstar I believe they blew that one up as well
I really wanted to see the son of dathomir and Utapau Arcs animated. As much as I love the bad batch, you could've cut that and the Martinez sister's arc and I wouldn't have complained.
It was only a fan rumor, I think, but I heard that Obi Wan was going to open up with the camp fire scene. I believed it so much that I was expecting it in the show. I was sad when it turned out to be false.
Anakin's need to help others he should go on his own to deal with it, I think several years after he became a force ghost he resolved the situation and other things more independent.
You didn't mention what was not only the best bit of banter in the entire arch, but my favorite in the entire series "Anakin, I'm not impressed..." "Skywalker! I'm impressed!"
I remember watching all these unfinished episodes it’s canon to me I remember the producers of the show saying it is them too. I hard disagree about it being logical for the council to doubt Ahsoka that episode made me lose a lot of respect for the council in fact. You could even argue they were written to be unbelievably stupid for the sake of the plot. If there was undeniable evidence then Anakin or even Padme would have doubted her
Agreed. Sure the evidence was pretty good, but it wasn't perfect like you said with Anakin and Padme not doubting her. Well, at least Obi-Wan had some sense in that arc when he told The Council they couldn't just abandone her, again he's an ideal Jedi and you think the Council would listen more to those kinds of Jedi.
Seen it a couple times. Great arc. Can never find it above 480p. If anyone knows where I can find it in at least 720p, please let me know. And I still maintain that one of the best arc's we never got, besides this one, is the Rex/R2 top gun arc.
Disney sucks and can’t take the easy money sitting on the table. But if they ever did smarten up and animate the son of Dathomir in the clone wars animation, OMG it would be so fire!!🔥🔥
Wasn't this episode with saw gerrera? This was on rebels empire transport a huge kyber crystal but saw destroys it with sabine and ezras help. Barris was right bout jedi an army fighting fir the dark side who lost their way. Ps ye they should have had a closure between them and not the breif moments we got
Thank you so much for this video. I've never understood the shortsightedness of the fandom that passed sentence on the Jedi Council for what happened to Ashoka. Someone carried out an attack on a very important state institution (all the more serious considering the war), a lot of people died and it was known that the perpetrator was a Jedi. Why shouldn't it be Ashoka, since everything pointed to her? Besides, Tarkin clearly said that due to the deaths of civilians, the Republic has the right to take over the prisoner and judge according to state jurisdiction. It seems unfair only because we loved Ashoka's character and therefore judge the Jedi as old farts who tear innocents to shreds.
Is it legal for some websites about watching cartoons and anime to just upload this unfinished Cyrstal Crisis arc for all of us to watch without fear of it being taken down?
Dear Geetsly’s, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to kindly request a change to the title on the thumbnail of one of your recent videos. The video I’m referring to is about Darth Tyranus, where the thumbnail features the phrase “space Hitler” in reference to the character. While I appreciate the narrative in the video discussing fascism and Count Dooku as a fictional character, I find the use of this specific phrase on the thumbnail troubling and disrespectful, particularly given Christopher Lee’s personal history. As a war veteran who fought against the Nazis during World War II, referring to a character he portrayed as “space Hitler” feels inappropriate and diminishes his legacy. I’d like to suggest a simple alternative, such as replacing “space Hitler” with “space Tyrant,” which would better align with the fictional context of the video while avoiding unintended offense. This issue touches me personally, not only as a fan of Christopher Lee but also as someone whose family suffered greatly during the war (I am Polish). Mixing fictional narratives with real-life events, especially those involving individuals who stood against such atrocities, is, in my view, not the right approach. I hope you’ll consider revising the title of the thumbnail out of respect for Christopher Lee’s legacy and the sensitivities surrounding this topic. Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and I truly hope you understand where I’m coming from. Best regards, ~A devoted Lee fan ❤
Was there honestly ANY real reasons to NOT go ahead an make these episodes an then throw them into appropriate spots in the rest of the series .. wether it was somehow in its own arc somehow or as parts of other arcs .. an everyone in between??? Not really seeing much other then some nice character development an both of them very nicely kicking Sep ass. An looking pretty good while at it
Disney quickly shut down ANY Star Wars that out men (Anakin or Luke) in any light that would make them the dominate characters we've become to know them as. It was Disney's (Kathleen Kennedy's) modus operandi to diminish men and promote women in the IP. From this point on, EVERYTHING Disney did for Star Wars was to promote women instead of men, and diminish the writings that countered that thinking. I dare anyone to tell me differently, even in Andor, Obi Wan, or the sequel trilogy.
This show is one of the better parts of Star Wars, and was pretty directly under Lucas’ supervision, which is why Disney never bothered to complete it.
@bv4004 You're wrong buddy. It was mostly under Filoni's supervision. George Lucas was ignored. The episode, "Grievous Intrigued" was a retcon episode. Events and characters are out of place in that episode. Eeth Koth died in the battle of Geonosis. Sora Bulq had turned to the darkside and became one of Dooku's acolytes. Filoni and the TCW team only care about changing the facts and calling their retcon productions "Canon".
@@BlueDeath-r13 Newsflash buddy, none of it is real. They can change anything they want to make good story, George did that even before the prequels. It really isn't that serious. Do you seriously have nothing better to do than cry in comment sections about a 'kids show'?
@jamesw3413 Oh I have many things to do, and one of them is recognizing what a terrible retconned show TCW is. By the way, retconning the story didn't make it "good". And how the hell could George Lucas be charged for retconning his own production? He created Star Wars. He is Star Wars. And he can do what he wants with his own show. Filoni and Disney did NOT create Star Wars, nor did they expand it. They just retconned it. Talentless writers they are.
They cut this and added the martinez sisters bruh.
Edit: thanks for the pin geetslys.
I think they were hot ngl
I’m know man what a shame

I do agree its one of the weaker arcs of the series as a whole but it does have some positives like addressing the Jedis negligence towards the public as a result of being so occupied with the Clone War and proves whats been said time and time again.

I would have preferred this was the middle arc of the seventh season.
Disney please just make clone Wars season 8. The entire series is not chronological so an 8th season won't make it any worse.
Crossing my fingers for this to be adapted into a “Tales of Anakin and Obi-Wan” special (might need to workshop the name).
Time to watch the unfinished Crystal Crisis arc for the 300th time
Crystal Crisis and Son of Dathomir were probably the two most critical arcs to Season 7 that never saw the light of day
Dante sounds like he was voiced by the guy who plays Pos dad in Kung Fu panda
It literally was that voice actor who played Mr Ping.

However disney bringing back ahsoka was a huge mistake. It took all the weight of how anakin felt away. If she wouldve stayed gone/ killed it wouldve made his fall to the darkside betraying all his friends more believable

The Grievious depiction is the main reason why I am sad this ddint make the final cut in season 7
It would have been AMAZING!!
This arc is so good, even unfinished it's worth checking out IMO
Let's be real. The clone wars does so much heavy lifting for the prequels
We all starwars fans are @65 or under. We are talking about maybe a century of stories to be told until there's no more stories.
And people wonder why I download/archive things that are "available online"...
If theres ever a Clone Wars expansion special this episode should be fully finished and released as apart of it.
They kinda did something like that in rebels when ezra worked with saw infiltrating a cargo transport and found the giant kyber crystal meant for the deathstar I believe they blew that one up as well
Star Wars the clone wars
the lost episodes series completed with full animation would be amazing
I really wanted to see the son of dathomir and Utapau Arcs animated. As much as I love the bad batch, you could've cut that and the Martinez sister's arc and I wouldn't have complained.
Clone Wars's cancellation is one of the many big mistakes Dinsey have made with the franchise.
It was only a fan rumor, I think, but I heard that Obi Wan was going to open up with the camp fire scene. I believed it so much that I was expecting it in the show. I was sad when it turned out to be false.
Anakin's need to help others he should go on his own to deal with it, I think several years after he became a force ghost he resolved the situation and other things more independent.
Anything with more obi and anakin would’ve been a win
You didn't mention what was not only the best bit of banter in the entire arch, but my favorite in the entire series
"Anakin, I'm not impressed..."
"Skywalker! I'm impressed!"
I never knew about this arc. Thanks for the story!
I would love to see these episodes in the clone wars l wish they did not cancel season 8
Yeah but... but but the Martinez episodes. We needed room for the sisters!
Could be a cool standalone movie I'd imagine.
I remember watching all these unfinished episodes it’s canon to me I remember the producers of the show saying it is them too.

Disney sucks and can’t take the easy money sitting on the table. But if they ever did smarten up and animate the son of Dathomir in the clone wars animation, OMG it would be so fire!!🔥🔥
Wasn't this episode with saw gerrera? This was on rebels empire transport a huge kyber crystal but saw destroys it with sabine and ezras help. Barris was right bout jedi an army fighting fir the dark side who lost their way. Ps ye they should have had a closure between them and not the breif moments we got
I thought the boba fett vs cad bane story line would have been in this episode. How boba fett got his dent in his helmet.
29:16 "I am not your failure, obi-wan."
I don’t see why they didn’t just release it as is
aspects of this story is used in the later show "Rebels" Like the large Kyber Crystals
Thank you so much for this video. I've never understood the shortsightedness of the fandom that passed sentence on the Jedi Council for what happened to Ashoka. Someone carried out an attack on a very important state institution (all the more serious considering the war), a lot of people died and it was known that the perpetrator was a Jedi. Why shouldn't it be Ashoka, since everything pointed to her? Besides, Tarkin clearly said that due to the deaths of civilians, the Republic has the right to take over the prisoner and judge according to state jurisdiction. It seems unfair only because we loved Ashoka's character and therefore judge the Jedi as old farts who tear innocents to shreds.
Is it legal for some websites about watching cartoons and anime to just upload this unfinished Cyrstal Crisis arc for all of us to watch without fear of it being taken down?
An hour and 30 minutes later I have returned! Expecting great things from this video!
Update: Very good analysis of this arc!

Dear Geetsly’s,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to kindly request a change to the title on the thumbnail of one of your recent videos. The video I’m referring to is about Darth Tyranus, where the thumbnail features the phrase “space Hitler” in reference to the character.
While I appreciate the narrative in the video discussing fascism and Count Dooku as a fictional character, I find the use of this specific phrase on the thumbnail troubling and disrespectful, particularly given Christopher Lee’s personal history. As a war veteran who fought against the Nazis during World War II, referring to a character he portrayed as “space Hitler” feels inappropriate and diminishes his legacy.
I’d like to suggest a simple alternative, such as replacing “space Hitler” with “space Tyrant,” which would better align with the fictional context of the video while avoiding unintended offense.
This issue touches me personally, not only as a fan of Christopher Lee but also as someone whose family suffered greatly during the war (I am Polish). Mixing fictional narratives with real-life events, especially those involving individuals who stood against such atrocities, is, in my view, not the right approach.
I hope you’ll consider revising the title of the thumbnail out of respect for Christopher Lee’s legacy and the sensitivities surrounding this topic. Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and I truly hope you understand where I’m coming from.
Best regards,
~A devoted Lee fan ❤
Was there honestly ANY real reasons to NOT go ahead an make these episodes an then throw them into appropriate spots in the rest of the series .. wether it was somehow in its own arc somehow or as parts of other arcs .. an everyone in between??? Not really seeing much other then some nice character development an both of them very nicely kicking Sep ass. An looking pretty good while at it
I actually think the Utapau arc is available on The Clone Wars: The Lost Missions (Season 6) Blu-Ray.
This should definitely have been released somewhere in season 7.
Why can't we get more of this!?!?!!!!!
Disney quickly shut down ANY Star Wars that out men (Anakin or Luke) in any light that would make them the dominate characters we've become to know them as. It was Disney's (Kathleen Kennedy's) modus operandi to diminish men and promote women in the IP. From this point on, EVERYTHING Disney did for Star Wars was to promote women instead of men, and diminish the writings that countered that thinking. I dare anyone to tell me differently, even in Andor, Obi Wan, or the sequel trilogy.
They really didn’t finish this but gave us the Spice Girls…
👍
No sory your rong

The 4 deleted episodes? Delete the whole damn show. TCW is a retconned kids show. TCW is just a companion to Disney Star Wars.
This show is one of the better parts of Star Wars, and was pretty directly under Lucas’ supervision, which is why Disney never bothered to complete it.
@bv4004 You're wrong buddy. It was mostly under Filoni's supervision. George Lucas was ignored. The episode, "Grievous Intrigued" was a retcon episode. Events and characters are out of place in that episode. Eeth Koth died in the battle of Geonosis. Sora Bulq had turned to the darkside and became one of Dooku's acolytes. Filoni and the TCW team only care about changing the facts and calling their retcon productions "Canon".
@@BlueDeath-r13 Newsflash buddy, none of it is real. They can change anything they want to make good story, George did that even before the prequels. It really isn't that serious. Do you seriously have nothing better to do than cry in comment sections about a 'kids show'?
@jamesw3413 Oh I have many things to do, and one of them is recognizing what a terrible retconned show TCW is. By the way, retconning the story didn't make it "good". And how the hell could George Lucas be charged for retconning his own production? He created Star Wars. He is Star Wars. And he can do what he wants with his own show. Filoni and Disney did NOT create Star Wars, nor did they expand it. They just retconned it. Talentless writers they are.
