- On March 11th, 2013, The Clone Wars was cancelled, leaving many of its stories untold, and their futures uncertain. In spite of this, Dave Filoni and Lucasfilm Animation endeavored to deliver as many of those stories as possible, even up to the recent final season of the show. This is the conclusion of the 12 year story of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

I always took the Jesse helmet scene to symbolise the death of the republic, covered in the blood of good men. With the birth of an evil empire in its wake.
The Venator does that as well. A symbol of the republic ripped apart from the inside by a Sith (specifically destroying the part for stability and to change course) and the poor people who died in its wake and those that made it out
Yeah I thought the same. The eary music also makes it so much more meaningfull
@Will P spoilers for the bad batch though I assume anyone here should have already seen it or is aware of it but I think we can say recently we saw the ultimate betrayal on Kamino
It’s also a great parallel to the end of rotj when all of the storm trooper helmets are similarly propped on spears.
The track the plays at the end of rotj is called victory and celebration, the one that plays at the end of tcw is called victory and death which leads me to believe that this was an intentional parallel.
Very important to note here that it is a perfectly normal and human reaction to cry upon viewing of the clone wars season 7 finally even after watching multiple times.
Anyone who doesn't isn't human
@@crazyeddy98 Yes, but all these buckets put a strain on my wallet, god damn it. T_T
Just like the god damn "You bow to no one"
Yeah honestly it’s expected
"And then... it happened."
Sir, you just gave me chills and made me tear up just remembering my reaction to Season 7's reveal. Thank you for reassuring me why I love Star Wars as much as I do.
It still gives me goosebumps
SAME
Yeah same even shed a tear
I literally teared up in this video!!!!!
Rex being the lookout for Anikin when talking to Padme was such a bro moment. I kinda wish we got more moments like that.
That's what bros are for
i like the theory that every hash mark on Rex's armor is a time he's had to cover for Anakin
I hope this 3 episode documentary will be released on Disney+
They'll buy it for billions then scrap it

#CompleteTheCloneWars
I’m almost 57 years old, and not ashamed to say that The Clone Wars IS Star Wars to me. These 3 videos have accurately, and powerfully, put into words how I’ve felt for years. Thank you SO much for this!!! Absolute genius.
And thank YOU for checking them out!! I appreciate it boss!
I'm 49 and feel the same way. This kid kills it with these video essays.
@@ArTorrPresentshey. I watched your video essays about clone wars back in the day and I loved them. I wanted to ask you, have you by change checked out sheevtalks' videos about clone wars not holding up. He brings up some good points, especially about the handling of characters, but I feel like he mostly just digresses a lot about minute details that don't really damage the show. You're the guy who made the best videos defending the clone wars I have ever watched, so I simply wanted to know your opinion about that. I think you having a discussion with sheev about the show would be interesting to hear
You may not see this, but I just wanted to say that this three part documentary is actually some of the most incredible UA-cam content I’ve seen. Seriously…the analysis, the passion, the storytelling! This is so good, and as a massive fan of Star Wars, this does so much justice to the complexities and just pure epic nature of the show. Thank you man! This is awesome :)
Couldn't have said it better.
Couldn’t agree more
I 100% agree!
There have been a few people I have played these for. Like roommates and my fiance. Instead of trying to explain the clone wars I've played this as to living with people who have the time. Not only that I myself have watched it many times and even just put it on in for background sound as well. In case maybe I missed something I can catch at a later time. I absolutely love the way this was done!!
This was, probably, without question, the greatest Clone Wars Documentary I've ever seen on the platform. Well Done! Extremely Underrated Channel.
I couldn't agree more. I had it going for noise in the background while I setup a printer on my home network. I stopped working on the printer about 15 minutes into the documentary. The only thing missing was popcorn.
I'm glad the all powerful algorithm sent me this video. Best analysis of the Clone Wars I've seen. I have only seen chosen arcs and all of the season 7. This filled on some gaps and made me want to watch certain arcs I missed.
eh
Agreed.
aye agreed
Disney failed to recognize just how passionate and vocal the fanbase was.
Truer words were never spoken.
One of the biggest takeaways for me from the final scene was the intentional inclusion of an Anakins eyes showing through the Vader mask, as if it was to show anakin still lived on inside that suit, remembering all the things he and Ahsoka had been through, and it shows that he still held onto it even after all those years
I love how they allow the jedi to come within striking distance of unravelling palpetine's plan before he can execute order 66. season 6 really gives you the feeling that if they'd had another week, they might have been able to stop everything falling apart
In the legends novel Labyrinth of Evil, they do something similar. They manage to track Sidious down to 500 Republica and an intelligence officer even identifies Palpatine as Sidious, but then Palpatine kills him and Grievous fleet drops out of hyperspace overhead.
Gott, you made me cry about the Siege of Mandalore all over again

This documentary series was absolutely incredible. I've always loved this show and held it in higher regard than any Star Wars project or TV show I've ever seen, but I feel like I've never truly understood it, and appreciated it, more than after watching this series. This might as well have been professionally made with how well done it was and I am very happy that I found this series and your channel.
This show's been such an important part of my life. It's been a source of strength and inspiration, an escape when I needed an escape, and a tool to enhance many of the friendships I've had over the years. The characters and stories in this series make up the majority of my favorites not just in Star Wars, but for all time, and I thank George Lucas, Dave Filoni, and the cast and crew of Star Wars the Clone Wars for making me the person that I am today.
Thank you for all the support on these videos bro, I truly appreciate it! And cheers for everything The Clone Wars has done for you. Hopefully in time, the show will continue to touch more lives, and be celebrated for all of its achievements.
32:45 I have a theory that George and Dave had written the stories, but when D/LF became what it did then, they hadn't finished *The Clone Wars* and split the stories into *The Bad Batch, Rebels* and other things because there were other priorities, and they hadn't given it that much thought. After deciding to complete it, Dave may have variated *The Bad Batch* even more.
As Ashley Eckstein says, "Ahsoka lives in all of us"
I’d rather get those extra 40 episodes than a slightly better animated finale
Anyone who loves the Clone Wars should watch this docuseries. Brilliantly executed and well-crafted, and you can really see the great amount of effort and care went into this. Very well done
More thought and care went into these videos than the new bullshit trilogy
@@trevorthornley8835 Couldn’t agree more
I literally feel guilty that I watched this series for free. These videos are now some of my favorite in all my years on UA-cam. These videos really deserve millions of views. I got so many chills during them and was captivated the entire way through. Well done, man. #CompleteTheCloneWars
Agreed friend. #completetheclonewars
For those missed episodes we will never see I still stand proud and call from the roof tops #CompleteTheCloneWars
You took me on one of the greatest rides I've ever been on. This show is the reason I am who I am, I haven't ever been able to put into words how much this show impacted me as a kid and now as a young adult, but you did. You took the time to make all of this. I will admit, this was just a recommended video for me (it actually recommended part 2 first! I started from one though) but after I was done, I was ready to scroll down and give my subscription to a guy with 100k+ subs because THAT is the level of work and quality that I saw. So when I saw you only had 338 subscribers? I was blown away and knew I had to say SOMETHING about this.
You know, this may sound cheesy, but when you explained about your life (in the latter part of this video) and how you watched these as a kid that went to a Christian Private school, then your beliefs were challenged in a public school (run-on sentence, my bad), that part gave me chills. No exaggeration, that exact scenario happened to me. I know that a little hard to believe and I myself had to double-take when watching your video. As I watch this show and think about my morals and how I look critically at things, I begin to see that it's all because of this show.
This is getting a bit long and personal for a public youtube comment, so ill put my discord tag here: Electro_#2665 I'd love to talk more with you about this show and life in general (it's a little mind-blowing to hear someone describe your exact life as theirs, especially when you feel like no one could ever understand)
All and all, This was a phenomenal 3 part video Essay and I hope you plan to continue your creative path, you have huge potential. You've got a Sub, Bell, likes, and Shares from me.
THIS is why I make videos. Much love brother. I'll be in contact with you!
Agreed
Whoa. I don't know if you'll read this but what you said really made me think this must be a huge factor in why strict religious institutions are so against the arts or having contact with people outside of the institution, because they know how fragile their beliefs can be when faced with deeper scrutiny.
Maul asking to die really shows just how scared he is. You can see it. He sees what’s coming and he’s absolutely terrified and at this point every cell in his body wants to run and hide from the approaching storm
Although I knew what was coming, watching that episode made the hairs on my neck stand up put a frog in my throat and aknot in my stomach. Seeing that even one of the most powerful force users being someone who was once the apprentice of the person orchestrating everything freak out like that and beg for death instead of insuring whatever the future may bring, it was just so well done I can't even put it all completely into words.
Anakin, "feels," Ahsoka's presence in the first Walkabout episode, like she feels his. It's an inseparable bond they have formed, through the Force, over the course of their time together.
And, it's something I just realized explains the appearance of Ahsoka's, "Spirit Animal," Maori, in the season finale, flying over Vader's head when he finds Ahsoka's lightsaber amongst the wreckage of the Jedi Cruiser she was last known to have been aboard, as far as he knew, anyway.
Undoubtedly he would have been able to sense her presence through the Force, particularly when he picked up her lightsaber.
So, to effectively mask that connection Maori is shown flying overhead, to account for any connections he may have been sensing in that moment.
Allowing him to accept the possibility that she had been killed in the crash, despite still being able to feel her through the Force.
It makes perfect sense. (pun not intended lol)
If he has not seen the Owl circling above, he would have almost certainly been unable to accept the possibility that she had died, because he would be struggling against still being able to sense her, espescially when touching her lightsaber.
Maori gives that internal, "conflict," a resolution.
At least enough for him to walk away at that moment, and leave the wreckage behind without any further investigation into her fate.
(Absolutely brilliant. 👍)
Him feeling her presence on her walkabout was a direct parallel to the scene from RoJ when Vader sensed Luke on the stolen Lambda Shuttle
Never knew about the Maori being Ahsoka's "spirit animal"
@@buddermonger2000 it's Morai. Maori is a part of New Zealand population. Temuera Morrison is one of them
@@Gamma_249 That would make Jango Fett and his clones her spirit animal.
@@buddermonger2000 no because those are two different words that don't mean the same thing. Maori are people, whereas Morai is that bird flying over Vader
What I don't understand is why everyone is taking the Clovis scene as THE worst Anakin moment, Clovis tried to kiss her WITHOUT consent.
While he STILL overdid it, he had every reason to kick that assholes ass.
#AnakinDidNothingWrong
Well, technically every first kiss attempt is without consent
@@musiccer7446
yes but in this case she explicitly said no and he didn't took it for an answer .
@@Woodesies Yes and ? It was said earlier that he still overdid it .
@@musiccer7446 WTF, what are you saying??? If the person you are about to kiss allow it, of course there’s is consent, even if it is the first kiss. Also, if you try to kiss someone you’ve already kissed but they deny it, than it doesn’t have consent.
Is it so hard to understand?
Your channel is INCREDIBLY underrated. Keep going with this style of wonderfully detailed videos! I love it, excellent job.

Always a pleasure to see another CWA player in the comments!!
Legend
@@ArTorrPresents You ruined your own video with it's ending....
You should take the time to look into exactly how Disney "bought" Star Wars from Lucas.
Bro stfu no one cares
I'd like a Clone Wars season made exclusively of the scrapped arcs that involve the villains:
-The Bounty Hunter Arc with Boba Fett & Cad Bane
-The Ventress Arc involving Asajj & Quinlan Vos
-The Son of Dathomir Arc (This one I'd love to see the most because Maul gets to interact with both Grievous & Dooku; the Sith who replaced him as his master's apprentice)
The main reason why I'd like to see these arcs specifically (aside from focusing primarily on the series villains) is because they fill in important information regarding the villains. It explains how Cade Bane played a part in making Boba the bounty hunter he is, it gives closure to Ventress's story arc throughout the series, it explains what happened to Maul in between the seasons of 5 & 7 and much more.
The day that Season 7 was announced is a day I will never forget.
Holy crap this series of video essays about clone wars is amazing! how does this not have more exposure? Well done ArTorr! I watched all 3 in one sitting lmao it was that good
Haha word 🤣 👍
Same here, I started with skepticism in the early afternoon, but when I looked up again there was no trace of it
just finished your 3 part series, this documentary series is truly a work of art. You’ve put into words what we were all feeling about the clone wars. This part in particular made me emotional because it serves as a reminder to me that the clone wars is more than just a tv show, it’s my childhood. I grew up alongside ahsoka. We made the same mistakes at the same time and age, and by the time we were both young adults, we had grown into our own individuals.
Like ahsoka growing up had been about the jedi order, mine had been about my religion and the church. I preached in many different high schools, and had done my work to spread the Bible in a few different countries. I was held to a high regard in my church. Then things started to happen where I felt betrayed and hurt by my church and the leaders I had looked up to. My faith began to be seriously challenged, keeping it alive became increasingly difficult, and sadly ended up having to leave it behind. I had seen many people fall away from the faith, but their attitudes in doing so where out of rebellious motivations. My experience was much like ahsokas when walking away from the Jedi temple for the last time. Righteous, but still sad and hurt by what she must leave behind.
Thank you for putting this all together, I have a much deeper appreciation of the show because of it!
I think I’m gonna say it. This 3 part documentary and review is most likely the best Star Wars insight and review I have ever seen on this platform. You’ve done this god-like show more than enough justice and have solidified my opinion on this show being the best of all time. Every Star Wars fan should see these videos and even just people that want to find some of the best shows ever
Really solid series. The Clone Wars inspired my love for Star Wars and the whole of film, and I hope that not only the fanbase continues to grow and be inspired by it like we were, but that videos like this continue to show just exactly why it’s the best Star Wars content outside of the OT.
Disney always wants to create a strong woman character, but they always neglect what's right under their eyelids: Asoka, Bo Katan, Padme, Ventress just to name a few

This video series, and this third installment specifically, is one of the best things on all of youtube. Thank you so much for putting such an incredible amount of effort into articulating the love we all feel for this show. I appreciate you documenting the journey and will likely rewatch these beautifully crafted documentaries for decades to come.
You're welcome and thank you for checking them out!!
Congratulations my friend, you have written the greatest love letter to The Clone Wars, a show that raised a whole new generation of Star Wars fans with all these stories about Rex, Ahsoka and Anakin and taught them valuable lessons about hope, friendship, kindness, loyalty, selflessness and patience. Patience more than any, for when the time had come, these same fans became a family that fought together for so many years and never stopped hoping and believing that the show could get it's well deserved finale by the hands of Dave. These are the values Clone Wars taught us and there is a bright future ahead of our beloved franchise. May the force be with all of us my friends.
This is one of the best CW analysis series I've seen.
Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one who saw that Trace & Rafa were character foils for Ahsoka. I agree that it was the least fun of the 3 arcs. But it was the most thought-provoking for me - giving us a rare glimpse into the "normal people" on Coruscant. It also has appropriate connections to the Ahsoka novel.
That would be true... but they have nothing to showcase, just failed replacement of Nyx Okami.
Seeing Rex’s tear was great. It was amazing at solidifying how much he grew to care for Ashoka enough to kill his own brothers, and you could see how much to hurt him. The clones not being in control of their actions was a great excuse for them to try not to kill. The only other show that I can remember did something like this with that much of an emotional impact was season 3 of daredevil where Matt is pushed to his absolute breaking point, or with Batman in under the red hood where Batman admits that if he started killing, he wouldn’t be able to stop because of how broken he is. With Matt and the bat, their reasons for choosing not to kill is a part of who they are, and it would destroy them personally if they went through with it. It would break everything they are and stand for, and it works so much better than the “it will make you just like them” argument that is equivalent to bulldozing a rotting corpse of a dead horse. Don’t make the reasoning come from something that arbitrary in a story, but make it something that is extremely important to who the character is
This whole video essay is wonderful, I am surprised that you only have as many subscribers that you have. I love your work and foresee you becoming very popular if you keep producing such perfect content.
Word 👍
Everything you have said is something that I've been saying to myself for the better part of 6 or 7 years. I also grew up watching the clone wars, but soon began to stop. It kind of became..shameful for me, because of all the bullying that I received from my love of star wars in general. I was "reintroduced" to it once it was put back on Netflix and honestly, I didn't realize I had never seen season 4 or 5 until I got to that point in my rewatch, and so in a way I was experiencing a whole new show. From that point on I decided to really embrace my love for Star Wars and, more specifically, the Clone Wars.
In doing that, I came to many of the same conclusions that you did. The takeover of the Star Wars License by Disney and it's subsequent suppression of anything regarding the prequels, to the tragedy of the Clones themselves. If the combination of the Prequels and the Original trilogies is the Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker - his rise, fall, and eventual redemption, then in many ways the Clone Wars is the Tragedy of the Clones. There is so much darkness and heartache surrounding their entire existence and while they had plenty of good personal stories in which they weren't simply a background to be used in action sequences, I think they would have better been explored in the final 3 seasons, but to finally see someone else recognize their "tragedy" is super exciting and makes me feel less insane when I think about the show. Overall you did what I've been looking for - a creator who takes the time to understand that the Clone Wars is more than just a kid show and to recognize the fact that there is so much more beneath the surface, and you took the time to do that, to deconstruct it's characters, scores, themes, and even the least-liked episodes that many only do for big blockbuster movies or cape flicks. (I stand by you in saying that D-Squad does not deserve all of it's hate)
So, thank you. Thank you for making this video series. I'm a 20 year old Sophmore in College waiting to move back to school, and so it was no issue to absolutely body this series in one day. Here's a subscription, I'll be sure to watch every other one of your videos when I get the chance!
P.S - The Anakin vs. Dooku fight scene at the end of the SW: TCW Movie on Tatooine is criminally underrated and on top of being Sir Christopher Lees last performance as Count Dooku, has a disgustingly good score that companies an important scene in the movie
How these particular Clone Wars, (and other, ) video essays haven't blasted past at LEAST a million views, by now, is simply beyond me.
(I've shared them with everyone I know, who would be, in any way, interested.)
The quality is undeniable, you'd think that would be more than enough, on its own. Know what I mean?! ✌
I'd like to think you've captured a fraction of Filoni and his team's storytelling expertise in these videos. Completely phenomenal. I felt the same emotions I did watching The Clone Wars with the same intensity while watching your videos, so thank you for that. Please keep thinking (and talking) about Star Wars!
Also this was 6 months ago, I’d love to see your rebels videos coming out!
Thank you! As a heads up, I'm aiming to have that video out by or before the spring :) the second half of this year sorta threw my plans for a loop
@@ArTorrPresents threw all of our lives for a loop. Keep up the great work!
"frustratingly involved with people who didn't know any better"
Story of my life
My god, man. This 3-part analysis was beautiful and inciteful. You've made me enjoy something I already loved even more. Literally started tearing up when you detailed Ahsoka's moments in the final episodes.
I got literal chills on the conclusion. Ahsoka is my all time favorite!
I rarely ever comment on anything on youtube, mostly just watch and move on... but my god you have done an absolutely fantastic job at a full in depth analysis on every level of the clone wars. You truly show how it relates not just to the bigger picture of the Star Wars universe but how it parallels the real world as well. I can seriously tell your dedication to the work you put into these videos, you posed some major ideas I had never considered myself. I would guess I’m around your age and grew up with the show only to come back recently in order to refresh myself for the last season. The nuance that exists in the show is something you’ve managed to truly grasp and make into a video series. Quickest UA-cam subscription I’ve ever made and I can’t wait to see what videos you come out with next!!!!
Talks a lot and says something
this is character growth
Listening to your reaction about Clone Wars being cancelled reminds me of how I felt in the mid eighties when I found out that Return of the Jedi would be the "last" Star Wars movie. Previous to that, Lucas had said that he planned on making nine or twelve movies. I had never known a world without Star Wars, and I thought it would be around forever. It was an existential crisis lol
Nowadays I'm still constantly amazed that, despite some highs and lows, Star Wars is alive and vibrant with so many different branches. I just watched the end of Clone Wars and the beginning of Bad Batch, and they really stand up as some of the best Star Wars. I can only imagine what little me would have thought if I could have seen a glimpse of this back in the dark days when there was no Star Wars.
I've been binge watching your documentary for the past 2 hours and a half and I am truly glad i did. This is by far the best Star Wars fan-made content I've ever watched. It's weird I haven't found it earlier considering the quality of it. Thank you for the feelings you gave me!
My god man, I feel myself tearing up, reminded me of times where I turned to clone wars for inspiration and to get me through tough times.
This video made me cry several times...… Truly one of the best video series I've ever watched on UA-cam. Thank you so much for this. You deserve so many more subscribers than you have, and you will get them.
I tested up a little at the start, when he covered Clone Wars’ return. “A war left unfinished... until now.” I still remember the excitement, the pure joy and happiness.
Just to put things in perspective, I'm 51 and I had "A new hope" beds sheets that I loved when I was a child. I love everything Star Wars, but beyond that, I've seen a lot of UA-cam videos in my day and I have to say this was the best UA-cam video I've ever seen. Your analysis, commentary and perspective on the subject at hand was masterful and such a joy to be a witness to. Thank you @ArTorr !
Seeing the live reaction from fans of the season 7 teaser still gives me full body chills to this day. I remember screaming and crying tears of joy when it was announced. Childhood was restored.
I was hesitant to watch another video gushing over The Clone Wars. As someone who also grew up watching the show and was inspired by it I already know why it was great. Where other Clone Wars videos give a surface level description on the show this series of documentaries really went in depth breaking the show down and gave words to some of my thoughts on the show, and even managed to expand my view giving me a greater appreciation overall. Fantastic job!
Good opinion that is unbiased yet passionate, concise and informative, and filled with understanding of character growth are the best blessing our human species has given this internet.
These videos actually drew tears out of me. You exposed every feeling that I felt for this amazing series. You touched on just how special this was and how it was so much more than a kids show. Growing up with the Clone Wars had an amazingly substantial effect on me. Seeing it’s send off was like seeing the final send off for my childhood. Thank you for the effort of this documentary series.
After watching Clone Wars, I always want more clone wars. It’s such a well written show that you don’t see often these days, it will always be one of my all times favorite shows
Ahsoka from the first time I saw her on the screen, I loved her sass & courage. She gave Anakin shit & challenged him at every turn...she was the perfect mirror to Anakin & gave so many layers to the characters! I enjoyed these videos, thank u.
There was also an arc written that had Anakin team up with a younger Thrawn to stop production of advanced separatist battle droids. It was later repurposed into a book written by Timothy Zahn.
That’s the one with a pretty badass cover. Does that book mesh well with the later stories cause I know they find Thrawn later and I wonder if Vader was like
“You dudes this is my homie, even though he’s blue he’s pretty chill dog”
That was never an arc planned during the Clone Wars production, it just takes place during the show
I have been watching your videos for a while now, and I gotta say that this has bee your vest series of videos made by far.
Word 👍
Wow, seeing that reveal that Clone Wars season 7 teaser again... got tears in my eyes. I was so happy when I saw that for the first time. I felt like a kid again
This video came on as recommended after watching a review on the season finale of Bad Batch... saw it was an hour long and wrote it off as background noise for a while.
What I didnt expect was to properly watch this in its entirety, genuinely impressed and satisfied much as I would be watching a professionally produced, network television quality documentary. This was seriously a fantastic watch buddy, very very well done. Thank you
I just finishen watching the entire series, inspired by the end of The Mandalorian Season 2. I cannot believe how good The Clone Wars was, and that the stigma of animation kept me from watching. Immediately after the end of the last episode, I went to UA-cam and found these three videos. A perfect ending to an amazing series. Would love to see your breakdowns of the trilogies also. Great job!!
Thank you for making this but also for not flooding it with commercials. This was very well made. While I didn’t enjoy every story I’m a huge fan and I loved how they weren’t afraid to do something different. Ahsoka also slowly became my favorite character.
It was this series that made me watch The Clone Wars for the first time. It is definitely one of my favorite pieces of Star Wars media now
This 3 part series was truly one of the best fan made documentaries I’ve ever seen about a show. Thank you for this.
All I can say is: wow. You took me on such a journey and reminded me of the majesty of this series and how much it meant to me growing up as a kid. You deserve all the love for your incredibly hard work. Thank You ArTorr, May The Force Be With You.
The fact that this series doesn't have more views is criminal. The Clone Wars will always be my all-time favorite Star Wars content, and this reminded me of that. It's a shame that more people haven't seen it.
This literally had me in tears multiple times, from your discussion of Ahsoka leaving the Order and how that forced me to examine my own recent departure from an organization that I couldn't ethically remain in, leaving behind my own brother figure who always stood by me, to your later discussion of the horrors of Order 66, I cried a lot. This is so freaking well done, and impacted me significantly. You should be really proud of yourself.
Grateful this resonated so heavily with you, cheers and thank you for watching 🙏
Dang when’s the last time a UA-cam video gave me chills? Man you are amazing, this is just hands-down amazing, wherever you are whatever you’re doing right now I just want to thank you for this video it truly gave the clone wars the respect that I’ve always felt it has deserved.
The future of Star wars looks bright, let's hope Disney doesn't mess it up again.
The sjw half of Lucas film is trying to get Dave to drop the Luke and grogu arc because of Luke being a straight white male and the sjw half hates that
@@redhood7650 what the f i've just read
@@andreiefectivuatafac1966 basically Lucas film is having a civil war because Dave redeemed Luke where Kathleen ruined him
@@andreiefectivuatafac1966 A bunch of nonsense
@@redhood7650 as much as I agree that sjw bs has been riddled throughout the creations within star wars since 2012, i don't believe any of those "reports" from far from reliable youtube channels about the "civil war" within lucasfilm were truth in the slightest, because for one, filoni thanked kathy personally. i don't see any "favreau/filoni vs kathy" war here, sorry
Once again, phenomenal work! You've done such a great job with this series that it transcends just being a strong evaluation of another piece of work. This series is a strong work in itself. Your insight, your way with words, your editing, everything. Top notch. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of watching these videos and can see myself revisiting them as an extension of the Clone Wars experience. You've earned yourself a fan and I am excited to follow your work.
Honored by your response to these videos. Thank you!!
Wow, I put on this series on as something to have on in the background while I did other things, instead I'm sitting here here nearly four hours later transfixed having watched all three parts. This is probably one of the best youtube video essays I've ever seen. It's clean, well written and doesn't stumble at any point. You've earned a subscriber here, and I look forward to watching your other videos.
The last four episodes of the clone wars are the best Star Wars movie, and I stand by that 100%. It has possibly the most satisfying ending I have seen, is emotional as hell and is beautifully written. The animation is top notch and the characters fall into the story perfectly. It seems like a story that was always apart of the universe. Great doc for an amazing show
"Talking to himself for minutes on end." That part of the sentence made me laugh.
As Palatine will say when seeing the revival of the clone wars, "A surprise too be sure, but a welcomed one."
These are the types of videos that should scare other long-form video essayists and content creators in general. This will raise the bar for some, and weed out others. If I made essays or documentaries on UA-cam, I'd be freaked the fuck out by the quality of these. Truly a masterpiece series right here. You should be enormously proud.
Great content doesn’t even begin to describe your trilogy of videos. Your analysis/ retrsospective just ooze the love and passion for the shows/ games you cover and make me fall in love with them (all over again or without having actually experienced them). Thank you! I wish you all the best and that that passion and creative energy will never stop.
Goddamn, it upsets me seeing this kind of wonderful and so underrated content on UA-cam, you deserve at least 5mil subs, how much work placed on a video and not appreciated
"The way of the Dark Side is to never move on."
I disagree. Sidious, the most powerful Sith to ever live, moved on as easily as the wind. He disposed of everyone ever connected to him with inhuman ease. He was one of if not THE most attuned to the Dark Side, and yet he "moved on" so often he could be described as being in a constant state of "moving on." First he had Plagueis, then he disposed of Plagueis and replaced him with Dooku. Then he disposed of Dooku and replaced him with Anakin.
The way of the Dark Side is not to never move on, that is the trap that the weaker adherents inevitably fall into. The true Way of the Dark Side is to never care at all, to never invest any emotion into your companions and those close to you and instead use them to further your own goals and ensure your own ascension.
This analysis of Star Wars is genuinely one of the most engaging and insightful things I have ever watched...
My Love of Star Wars has grown even more because of it, Thank You. 💜
Wow! All I can say is, "Wow!" This was the greatest documentary I have ever watched. You have lit a fire in me to go back and recapture all of this story. Thank you very much!
Thanks for this series! I love getting a breakdown and analysis of the show.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!!
What an amazing three part documentary type series, the work put into this is just phenomenal and I want to thank you so much for making it. Continue to produce fantastic videos like these, keep up the great work.
this vid made me cry it’s beautiful the way you showed the passion and beauty that star wars gives fans. Thank you for editing and making this
Absolutely. So glad you enjoyed!
You mentioned how much this series has inspired you as I am sure it has inspired so many other people as well, especially those who have taken the time to sit down and watch through this entire series. This is all well and good but I really wanted to tell you how much you have inspired me through this video. The hard work you put into constructing this series really shows and i felt extremely moved and found my self emotional by the end of it. Not only because of the somber ending of the show, but the deep and meaningful connection that you were vulnerable to share. Something which I also felt as you described it. I felt drawn to the stories you told growing up and how you used the lessons of the clone wars throughout it. It helped me realize that I too was shaped by this show in a similar way that I had not seen before. But I was really inspired by how much work you put into something that you were so passionate about. The passion is so evident in every word and that is something that is so lacking in the world and especially on social media. While sharing this short story at the end may not have seemed like a big deal (obviously I have no idea) it was a big deal for me because I have never been able to articulate how much this show ahs done for me and seeing it put to words so well by you moved me.
I was much younger when this show came out and watched it more for the lazer and flashy “fun”. For me growing up this show was more of a fun cartoon than anything else. In rewatching it in preparation for season 7 I began to see these themes but it was more a call back to my childhood. Watching this video has given me a new perspective on star wars that I was only beginning to grasp. I now see this series as more complex than I expected too at all and this is because of the amazing work you put into analyzing every aspect of the show. I’ve felt my love for the show draining especially with the poor quality of shows recently but this reminded me of why I fell in love with this show, and this style of storytelling.
Honestly I just wanted to tell you how much your video essay moved me, not because of the context you observed by the way you did it and the personality that was so evident throughout. You have inspired me and you deserve to hear that. I know this video is super old and you might not see this at all but I hope you hear this and know that the work you are doing is already doing what Dave Filoni has. Inspire people to examine the world critically, tell good stores, and be compassionate.
Ps. I tried to find you on Instagram to send this but the link isn’t working. I'm sure you know this already but what do I have to lose
This is the best summary of the clone wars themes I've ever seen. I had heard many of these ideas before, but hearing them together and hearing the new ideas that you shared is very impactful. Thank you for making these videos!
Agreed!
Hang on. So you're telling me that you're about 21, born in PA, grew up near Philly, went to a very small Christian (Quaker?) school, and immeasurably love Star Wars? Would you happen to be my long-lost twin?
Similarities to my life aside, thank you for putting this together. TCW was easily my all-time favorite show as a kid (my uncle would pirate S1 episodes onto DVDs for me to watch at home, and because his C's look like O's, when he wrote each episode's title on each disc I thought Rookies was actually titled Rockies for the longest time), and it had a profound impact on me even to this day, 13 years after I saw the movie in the theater. But I could never put it into words, could never fully express or understand why this show meant so much to me. Other UA-camrs like Full Fat Videos and Cosmonaut Variety Hour gave some voice to my sentiments, but you by far gave me the most compelling and exhaustive (in a good way) explanation for why I hold The Clone Wars in such high regard.
Thank you.
I’ve come back to this video a while after I first watched it. I gotta say, you should definitely have more subs. Not as a pure popularity thing on the platform, but so more people not necessarily just Star Wars, mass effect, or whatever have you can see these things through such an analytical and depth lens. Many of the things you point out in these videos or ideas that I always had in my thoughts or even discussed with my peers multiple times. The sheer effort put into your videos really shows, and I think, regardless of the sub count, that the number of views per video I see on your channel really speaks for itself whether it be people coming back to rewatch, or even new people seeing your videos much past their upload date. Every time you upload, it’s a treat. I actually recently watched your bad batch video again, and I paid it much more mind as I’m transitioning out of the marine corps soon. Can’t wait for your newest videos, especially hopefully for mass effect 3 if you decide to make one as it would be a nice conclusion to that series.
When I first saw the videos I rolled my eyes. Three parts, each stretched out unnecessarily long to real in that ad money. I'm so happy I have it a chance. By the end of the first chapter I was captivated by your own storytelling and analysis. Bravo, great work. Looking forward to checking out your other videos.
I found you yesterday and have watched your clone wars videos. I have to say, thank you so much for changing my perspective. I never realised how deep the meanings were and I had goosebumps more often than not. Also, your editing is amazing. Thank you so much for making this video and making me fall in love with SWTCW all over again.
Currently cooped up on my couch due to a broken foot and stumbled across your videos. I am absolutely blown away with what you’ve created in these three videos. Firstly, they are so incredibly well done and the time and effort you’ve put into them is very obvious. Secondly, your takes on nearly everything are spot on, at least in my humble opinion. Your passion is fu€king awesome, dude. I really hope somehow, someway, Dave stumbles across your videos one day. It’s literally a beautiful love letter to his work. You got yourself a new subscriber. Absolute fabulous job.
This is the most brilliant and insightful review of The Clone Wars that I have seen yet. I definitely need to go back and watch all the seasons again. Thanks so much for this series!
Across 3 videos you've put into words a sentiment I've felt for over a decade. I could never explain to my friends or family why this series meant so much to me. An absolute privilege to have grown up with this show - and I'm glad for those only discovering it now when they can watch the whole show without waiting between seasons. Thank you!
What a great series about one of the, if not THE, greatest animated shows of all time.
I watched all three episodes back to back today and now I want to re-watch the entire TCW series.
It is documentaries like this that make me appreciate exactly what we have and are as Star Wars fans!
30:15 Did anyone else tear up here? I grew up on Star Wars and TCW was a big part of that. I remember watching it all the way through middle school. Heck, I appreciate TCW now as a college student than I did as a kid. In my eyes, Dave Filoni and others like him are the ones who deserve to carry George’s Legacy into the future. Not the corporate overlords at Disney, who would see our childhood love milked for every penny, until there is nothing left, only to discard it in the end.
This video filled me with emotions. I just finished Clone Wars the other day and during some episodes I even cried. Like when Anakin showed Ahsoka his team bearing her markings. It's been so long since I loved a series so much. These last seasons just cemented to me how great this story is. How much I love Ahsoka, Rex and Maul... I'm so grateful for your videos on this.
these 3 videos are the best thing i have ever seen on youtube. star wars will forever have a special place in my heart and the feeling of thinking about the tragedy of anakin sky walker is one that is not like anything i have ever felt. i want him to see what i see and know what i know about his future every time. great video and thank you so much for this
Honestly the most underrated video essay channel on the platform. This was an amazing 3 part series and introduction to your channel.
everyone who has seen the clone wars knows that it is really special, thanks so much for really verbalizing it and expanding it
I have watched this video more times than I've watched any SW episode or movie. It just keeps on giving. Thank you for what you do.
