      It’s super underrated. It’s not just a clone helmet, it’s an Ahsoka clone helmet, which just gives it a whole new layer of meaning. All the three biggest focal points of the series (Anakin, Ahsoka, the clones) are tied together in that final shot.

      I mean it's a pretty sad sentiment but "we've found the crashed Venator of the 332nd Clone Battalion and a possible lead on what happened to the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano" is kinda important to the guy who in the early years of the Empire made it his job to hunt down and destroy any Jedi who may have survived Order 66.
      Like Vader probably didn't just send an Inquisitor because it was Ahsoka they were hunting but saying there was no need for Vader, the Jedi hunter, to go to the crash site at all is kinda untrue.

      One of the great triumphs of S7 IMO is how they make us really feel the weight of all those moments when Ahsoka just speaking to Anakin could literally have changed the future of the entire galaxy BUT never having it feel contrived when she doesn't - every time, it feels earned and true. Tragic but not false.

    • @MeliDMR93
      @MeliDMR93 3 роки тому +40

      I love this take. Cause you know, neither Padmé nor Obi-Wan could bring back pre-suit!Vader. Nor could Ahsoka save suit!Vader. In canon already we knew that Obi-Wan asked Padmé to speak to Ani before his turn, sensing their trust was tested by his assignment, but she was somewhat not best suited for this. She didn't understand the pull of the dark side of the Force and she was very VERY much against Palpatine's latest decisions as Chancellor (while the man had given Anakin some things he never found in the Order). Ahsoka was the perfect balance; she gave Anakin all the things he seeked in Padmé but didn't perceive in Obi-Wan & the Council (lack of judging, flexible understanding, transparent love for he WAS not what he could do) , yet was a Force user who could understand the dangers of his conflict. It is indeed Clone Wara greatest achievement. Make us feel that if she had been there, history could've been changed.

    • @skarletfenrir6979
      @skarletfenrir6979 3 роки тому +6

      Honestly i feel like Ahsoka could have brought him back she just isnt willing to even try because to her even though she knows they are the same person she thinks of Anakin and Vader as 2 different people. My reasoning that she could bring him back is that its been confirmed in Rebels during their fight "Then you will die." Is the only time its Darth Vader talking every other thing he says to her is Anakin speaking. I dont think she or anyone could have brought him back during the Purge but after that i think she could have. The real question to me is could Obi-Wan have brought him back if he tried? I think that he could but i think its much more likely he would fail. Its been canon for a long time that Anakin hates being Vader and being just pure evil and that Anakin thinks being Darth Vader and serving the Empire is the only punishment even close to cruel enough for what he has done.

    Here’s a interesting fact: By the time of the sequels Ahsoka and Clone Trooper Kix may the ONLY clones war veterans still alive by that time. For Kix it’s ironic... A clone that was bred to save other clones yet in the end... he’s the one to outlast them all. He actually feels so guilty knowing he’s the last clone he grew his hair out to the point he’s unrecognizable. As for Ahsoka well we know she’s well enough by the time of the Mandalorian(yes we hear her voice in TRoS but Dave himself has hinted she’s still alive and well so I’ll take his word for it)
    Think of the bigger picture: Everyone else is probably either dead or we simply don’t know. It’s like how our generation will be the last to have wwII veterans still alive.

    Here's the thing about the Jedi Purge: it's an ongoing event, not just a single day. Some Jedi do survive the initial wave of violence from Order 66, but they continue to be hunted down and destroyed by Vader and his Inquisitorius. So a handful do survive Order 66, but that doesn't have to cheapen the OT, because like 20 years have passed to allow the Jedi Purge to come near to its full and terrible completion. Those handful of Order 66 survivors are pretty much dead.

    The scene of her looking over the graves of the clones, standing in silence, knowing that these men died for nothing is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in all of Star Wars. And what made it even more tragic is that out of all of the Jedi who ever commanded the clones none of them cared as much about them as she did. They truly were not just her brothers in arms but in life.

If Qui-Gon stayed and set Anakin on a different path, Palpatine would have surely adapted his plan to compensate. Maybe he would have found other opportunities to kill Qui-Gon or even frame him Ahsoka-style and degrade Anakin's faith in the council even more

Qui-Gon would be a much better parental substitute for Anakin than Obi-Wan, who just wasn't emotionally mature enough to be that for Anakin. Assuming nothing diverges significantly from Episode I to II, Anakin would be much more emotionally mature, and wouldn't be manipulated as easily. Hard to say if Ahsoka would still become his apprentice; seems unlikely. Maybe she'd be Obi-Wan's in this timeline.

But in 2018 when a friend of my let me know of shows revival, i was overjoyed and happy that Clone Wars got the finale it always deserved. Because i was 5 when the Phantom Menace came out i was perfect age for the prequels and i know during the 2000s they were hated, especially by the older audience and fans, but i've always loved them, regardless of the fact that George Lucas isn't that good of a writer and director, and The Clone Wars enforced my love for the prequel trilogy era even more, and i'm glad through it we got Dave Filoni who has inherited Lucas' mythology.

    Heartbreaking but a satisfying end. For me the highlight was Anakin and Ahsoka relationship and how far they come in the show. I love their relationship and felt at times it was more stronger than his and obi wan. For me the most saddest was the Vader scene. I believe it was Anakin because of how the scene was set up. The silence, the music, when Vader bent down to pick up the saber and brushed the snow away. When he took the saber with him. This scene is the only Vader scene where I look at Vader and never saw him as threatening as he usually is but a man who seems in sadness and full of guilt. I love how their relationship transcends and continues even as adversary or foe. Looking back at the prequels, thanks to this show I love Anakin more and it's hard to imagine Anakin without Ahsoka and Ahsoka without Anakin.
    As for Rex. I'm so happy he survived and was so tragic that he had to bury his clone brothers. His relationship with Ahsoka developed really well and is also another highlight of the show for me.

One more leak. Boba did in fact die in the belly of Sarnack, Jessy is posing as Boba, that's why his Mandalore armore was so tight on him. it's also why he never attempted to retrieve that armore, not until he learned from the Mandalorian that it belonged to his Brother. This also explains how he obtained possession of Slave 1.

    I love the ending of this series so much... it stays with me every time I see it, and I think about it ... a lot. All the color is drained out of the clones' world. First as more and more plain white troopers show up, and second as how after the snow falls, all the troopers, droids, and commander of the Imperial war machine are monochrome. The only splash of color left in the world, is the blue lightsaber -- which echoes his old self -- and the painted clone helmet in Ahsoka's colors, which is faded. And with Vader looking up at the Morai, I can't help but think, "Ahsoka got out; she escaped the cycle of violence, she can be anything now; Vader got what he wanted: to play soldier forever, and use violence and threats to make the galaxy fall in line." Who has the better life? 😥

    I like Eric's comment about Grievous telling Obi-Wan how he was trained by Dooku (56:55). It makes me think of another moment like that in Episode III:
    "My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count."
    "You mean last week?" :)
