That one line from Plo Koon says everything about how we came to love the clone wars.
"We're meant to be expendable..."
"Not to me!"
That's why he's the coolest Jedi
Straight FACTS
Pong Krell would disagree
@@Xtariz and that's why he's not the coolest Jedi
@@XtarizI can't wait until they get to that arc. That is imo the best one
@@Xtariz FUCK PONG KRELL
To be fair, the CW movie came out before the first episode, so people who watched that first would know who Ahsoka was.
Droid Lore!
If a droid without a personality doesn't get regular memory wipes they end up developing a personality anyway. Watched a vid talking about that, forgot the reason why the CIS didn't do continuous memory wipes. Also during the phantom menace the droids were more emotionless due to being controlled by a control ship but Skywalker showed why having an entire army controlled by a single ship was a bad idea lol
I think it was cause of cost.
considering the number of droids the CIS have
even if only 30% survival rate the shear amount that leaves to wipe the memory of
your probably looking at days worth of just mind wipes
I believe why the droids developed more personality and became more talkative was because of what happened in the Phantom Menace. They had to remove that flaw, but in turn it removed their ability to process their thoughts internally, so now they speak while processing a bit more.
The lack of wipes is because the Trade Federation cheaped out and kept using software packages to modify the droids for different purposes. Software which would be erased if they were wiped, so they just accepted the B1's were gonna end up weird.
@@ItsAVolcano fair enough, makes sense
The movie came out before any episodes of the show, so we did absolutely have context for Ahsoka and the Twilight.
It's crazy how relatively cheerful Yoda was in the beginning. 💚 💜
Heres a fun fact one of the clone troopers with yoda jet would later serve with yoda on kasheeyk where he along with commander gree would get decpiated when order 66 was excuted
Wait really?
@@complex2live yep
@@lumityforever Commander Cody gives the signal to shoot down Obi-Wan in the same movie under the same order.
You'll see him throughout this show cause he's such a good teammate. Makes you sad to know what happens really. 😢
@Vancev99x dude I've watched this entire show more times than I can count I know who cody js
@@lumityforever sorry that was meant for complex! 😅
It still baffles me just how different the quality of these episodes are compared to how fantastic it looks later. 💜
Yeah, they do look very wooden early on.
@@ericb9252 Also because the models are based on wooden figures.
@@willfanofmanyii3751Wait, really?!
Even so I'm impressed with how good this looks for an early 2000s CGI cartoon
@@Pokemonleafmon Yeah, of CGI series in that time I can only remember Hot Wheels Acceleracers, and while the story was awesome, the quality was questionable, at least for today’s television.
The fact that y’all are liking it THIS much this early is such a good sign omg
"Have you three I do...outnumbered are they." 💚 💜
If you guys are curious the reason the B1 battle droids got worse over the course of the clone wars its because the companies that made them rushed their AI to get them ready for the clone wars and because of that they have little loopholes in their programming that let them express free will sometimes. Resulting in things like, missing blaster shots because their aim deviates, or questioning orders or their own existence. I'm pretty sure in the lore Palpatine rushed them on purpose cause if he hadn't the droid army would have been extremely strong and would have won. Battle droids are also designed to be memory wiped after every battle, and alot of them weren't later in the clone wars because they didn't have time to reset them between battles so the longer they were on for the worse the free will problems got.
25:18 "But if I'm getting in trouble for this, you're gonna share some of the blame too"
Big brother energy if I've ever seen it lol
Now seems a good time to point out that all the B1 battle droids are voiced by the same guy who plays General Grievous.
One of the great things about Clone Wars is them giving character and personality to the clones and battle droids.
the thing about droids, and this applies to the clones as well, they longer they are active the more of a unique personality they develop.
So you can tell the difference between the ones that are fresh off the factory vs ones that been active for awhile.
When this show came out, I was a little kid and although I may have felt excitement, I didn’t express it. These guys perfectly encapsulate what I was thinking the very first time I ever watched TCW and I’m all here for it!!
I can't wait for these guys to get to the Umbara arc
Ah, Clone Wars Nam War lol
I'm waiting on that Arc and the Geonosis arc.
I can't wait till Savage Opress
Can't wait for the return of... THAT villain. Do they know he's coming back? Don't wanna spoil in case they don't
@@DanilegoPlaysI'd say they probably don't know, hopefully others keep it to themselves as well.
Actually, the REAL Episode 1 is the Clone Wars movie which you watched, so you'd already met Ventress and Ahsoka. The prequels they made down the line were just that, prequel stories, but everything you need to know is in the movie, which was a theatrical release too
IIRC, the movie, was the first 3 episodes combined.
@@Qshafe What does IIRC mean I'm not a native english speaker
@@Krastinos"If I Remember Correctly"
@@Pokemonleafmon Ok thanks
@@Krastinos If I remember correctly
Episode 1 is so iconic imo, I think it's because it was a level in LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Even though I only watched the show years after playing the LEGO game as a kid lol
Imo, that is the best lego game ever made
@@complex2live YES, I loved those huge battles where you could build bases with cannons and clone factories and fight the droid bases
2 of the clones with Yoda were actually in Revenge of the Sith. Jek took Yoda's advice and joined the ranger corp and was the camo scout trooper that got taken out by Yoda (Ironic.) And Thire was the red clone trooper reporting to Palpatine after his duel in the senate with Yoda. It actually breaks my heart a bit that 2 of the very small handful of clones who formed a connection with Yoda ended up being personally involved with trying to take him out.
It would be very interesting, if the next Animated series that depicts the aftermath of both Order 66 and Project Necromancer's beginning with Dr. Hemlock (in The Bad Batch), We get to see Cody and Echo find Thire, and get him to remove his inhibitor chip.
@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 Cody went on to work with the Empire for like 15+ years after he failed to shoot down Obi-Wan during order 66. His chip never got taken out he just eventually went AWOL and left the empire cause it felt wrong. Peace didn't look so peaceful.
@@Vancev99x Not according to, The Bad Batch. Cody goes AWOL by the middle of Season 3 (after going on a mission with turncoat Crosshair, and sees the true brutality of the new regime). Remember: The Bad Batch was George Lucas' idea of an aspect of the aftermath of The Clone Wars and the early formation of The Empire. The plight of The Clones were meant to be part of that plan.
@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 Yeah you know what happened after the clone wars? Exactly what I said the bad batch takes place over a decade after order 66 as you said the early formations of the Empire. The empire started AFTER the jedi were wiped out. That mission you're talking about happens after the wookies are enslaved.
@@Vancev99x No, The Bad Batch takes place over a period of like 2 years, just after the enactment of Order 66 and Operation Knightfall. At the beginning of the series, Omega is around 12...by the end of Season 3, she's just over 14. The final scene of the entire series is still left to speculation, since Omega seems to be around 24 years old or more. The next Animated series from Dave Filoni and his group of writers will most likely pick up where TBB left off, either just after Omega's rescue by her Brothers, or just after she left to aid The Rebellion. Asajj Ventress' story is to be told somewhere within that time period.
The movie released before Season One, so most fans already knew who Ahsoka was when this premiered.
I believe the droids personalities is a side effect of an upgrade they received. Originally they were operated in mass by a control ship, which was exploted during Phantom Menace.
Since then they've made newer models which operate independently, but they can develop personalities like we see as an unintentional result.
the hunt for the Malevolence is literally the hunt for the Bismarck hahaha
8:16 Master Yoda Beast Mode Engaged!
Fun fact: Dave Filoni, the supervisor of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, Plo Koon is his favorite character and he likes wolves, hence why Plo Koon's clone battalion in The Clone Wars is called the Wolfpack and is led by Commander Wolffe. He's even apparently cosplayed as Plo at least once according to the first season box-set for The Clone Wars.
~15:45 your conversation about lack of shields in real life space combat really makes me wanna see your reactions to the show The Expanse. One of the best Sci-fi shows of all time. It depicts very realistic space combat and I guaruntee you've never seen anything like it before! You'll all love it.
It’s crazy to me how good this show is especially later on omg absolutely peak
Ashoka was purposely made to not be liked at the start, so that they could give her moments as she grows up and leave her room to mature. Also it was a different time back then.
I call it Scrappy-Doo syndrome
Obly difference is she eventually escaped that problem
Fun fact, since it’ll be showing up again very soon, that giant droid warship, the Malevolence, was inspired by the German WW2 warship the Bismarck
One of the ships that destroyed it was the Enterprise; the specific ship that the Enterprise from Star Trek was named after.
I think it's mentioned somewhere that the Battle Droids have more personality an individuality is because they no longer use the control ships they had in Phantom Menace since Anakin Destroyed it and it caused the whole droid army to shut down, now their all individually programmed to avoid that issue
I absolutely love the fact that the first aired episode of the show decided to jump straight to the point of the clones are unique individuals who have opinions, goals, and who think in different ways?
As in, the first thing the show did was make it clear that character was going to be a focal point.
The clone wars movie was originally going to be like the first 4 episodes of the show but George thought that it should be on the big screen and Ambush became the pilot
It was weird cos I never saw the movie till a year or 2 later so I had no idea who Ahsoka was
The second episode here as well as the fallowing two episodes of the Malevolence arc were heavily inspired by an event during WWII where the British Royal Navy went after and ultimately sank the German Battleship Bismarck as it attempted to raid critical merchant convoys in the Atlantic Ocean.
Quick side note about Ahsoka and Plo Koon; I don't remember if they explained it in this episode, but Plo was actually the jedi who found Ahsoka a brought her to the temple. While not directly teacher and student, the two bonded during Ahsoka's training before being assigned to Anakin.
Can we just acknowledge that the first episode of the show was a blend of the Gendy Tardakoski (sorry for the misspelling) nonstop action mixed with the character interactions that we came to love about the Clone Wars? The episode was practically a bridge between the two shows
Yoda handing back the lightsabers is one of my favorite power moves ever. So long as he is there she is of no threat to anyone, armed or not.
One thing I learned which baffled me was that the voice actor for "Obi-wan Kenobi" in Clone Wars (James Arnold Taylor) is the same voice actor for "Johnny Test".
All the droids are sentient and self aware but unable to do anything but follow orders
Watching the giant EMP ship brought me back to being 8 years old, watching this Friday nights at my grandpa's. Nostalgia is fun
Never watched in order like this i'm digging it
I love how King katunko and his species tend to be polar oppasite of watto
4:26 "Okay clankers, suck lazer!"
The reason why a lot of people didn't like Ahsoka early on is because she was very snarky and defiant in the face of characters we already knew and respected and despite it all, she never seemed to grow or face the consequences of her actions.
Essentially the audience grew to love her as she grew as a character.
Yoda sharing his wisdom with his clones in the cave I feel really reflects what the whole show is about.
The movie came out before the show if memory serves. She was introduced already. Plo Kun, Skywalker, Kenobi, Mace Windu, Ki adi Mundi and many other jedi are shown to be quite caring for their clones in this show, some weren’t of course but its like yoda said, they arent copys of one another, they are unique individuals in the force. Ive always felt thats why order 66 was so effective. The jedi came to trust and care for their troops, to their doom.
The yoda episode being the first is such an amazing intro to this series. It's a summary of the whole show, an awesome world building series that elaborates on everything the movies couldn't.
for reference the movie came out before the show did so you would have context for ahsoka
but that's all you'd have context for, not why yoda is on that planet
11:57 you kind off have that in "Tales of the jedi", more about Doku and how he became who he is but still epic ❤
And it is awesome series not like Tales of the empire (tragedy)
@@wilk82 Agree to disagree about TOTE.
Biggest gripe with Clone Wars both 2003 and 2008, is that Dooku loses a lot of his dark side intrigue he had in the prequels where he seems to have a nugget of resentment at himself and hesitation with the Sith, but lot of mistrust in the Jedi. In the series he's full dark side for basically the fun of it, like a Saturday morning villiain. He basically does was Sidious says but only hints at a complexity underneath
about the order of the episodes, technically the movie was released first, where we got introduced to ahsoka and anakins ship so we were not completely clueless back then
The Plo Koon episodes make his death in RoS hit so much harder
Plo Koon is my favourite character in this show. He is what a Jedi should be in my opinion.
The best theory I've seen as to why the Droids have such bizarre personalities is that they were not programmed to actually be an army, but to be a compliment to humanoid armies
The Trade Federation used to sell the Battle Droids. But to ensure those sales, they made sure Droids could use humanoid weapons, pilot humanoid tanks etc. That way if a client could only afford a few units, they could still get maximum use out of them
Dooku and Yoda's apprenticeship is never really delved into in Clone Wars, but there is an audio drama called Dooku: Jedi Lost that's all about Dooku's younger years and features his years as a Padawan
Plo Koon is the GOAT!
I love this show. It makes me so happy that you’re all sharing this with us and that you’re all enjoying it so much.
Also boom lookin dapper in this one
Master Plo-Koon its the coolest of the jedis!! even from the first Play Station 1 game ever to let him choose him as your character!
Jedi Power Battles!! ooof!!! what a master piece for its time!!
The droids don't have built-in personalities. They develop personalities from their experiences, which is why battle droids regularly have their memories wiped so they don't have time to grow feelings or defect. If they don't get reset for long enough, they become more developed people.
24:20 This scene is a callback the Death Star's Superlaser. The firing tunnel is largely the same design because both are Geonosian designs. The Death Star used massive Kyber Crystals (same as in a lightsaber but huge) to focus the energy from the plasma rotors into one of the 8 large beams that combine into the planet killing beam instead of an Ion wave that's thrown out by the Malevolence. The Imperial Eclipse Class Star Dreadnought built by the empire had one of the Death Star type Superlasers in the nose that could destroy other Battleships in one shot.
Yall gotta do these more frequently
A little fun fact: The clones that were with Yoda were the same clones in ROTS (Revenge of the sith) that Palpatine orders them to find him and kill him. After Palpatine and Yoda's fight in the Senate room.
Tales of the Jedi has an episode about a Dooku before he went with. There is also a bunch more in that series which would be dope for y'all to see but much preferred after season 7 of clone wars. But it's still a great watch regardless of waiting. Same goes for Tales of the Empire but a certain character from clone wars will be a introduction for y'all to know about before getting into that.
From what I've read, they meant to make Ahsoka annoying, having her give stupid nicknames and stuff, to emphasize how much she's changed by the end of the series.
Also, during Plo Koon's scene in Revenge of the Sith, the ships his clones are flying have logos that translate to "Plo's bros".
Palpatine's TCW design was more closely based on his design in the microseries, while other characters had designs that a blended the styles of the microseries and the old stop-motion Thunderbirds serials. The former came from showrunner Dave Filoni, who is a fan of Tartakovsky-series, while the latter came from Lucas who is a fan of Thunderbirds. Unfortunately in Palpatine's case the microseries style didn't translate into 3D very well. It does get better as they re-rendered and retextured the modells for almost every episode, but Season 1 is really rough around the edges.
Jmi believe the way it worked out is they wrote stories for season 1 and 4 episodes that would introduce ahsoka became the movie. In later seasons instead of adding filler episodes they would add prequel episodes adding context.
When the series premiered we got a strong with the Yoda and clones arc and the Malevolance trilogy. I'm glad that they went back to add more prequels.
Love
Billy
love watching you guys go through this series, always wonderful when someone experiences it for the first time!
It is important to note, tho, that it's not as if they made the episodes in chronological order and then released them scrambled: what happened is that, because the series was meant to be more of an anthology (aspect that changed over time) they would sometimes revisit story lines by giving them a prequel episode, which is why the episode 1 ended up being the resolution to the Toydarian arc.
iirc, this particular series does eventually detail a bit about Yoda and Dooku’s relationship. There’s so much Star Wars content over the years that it’s a task trying to keep track of which bits came from where lol.
Ventress: "I do not fear you Master Yoda."
Yoda: "Bitch, what?"
If you watched them on release order the movie came out before the series ever did so you would know who Ahsoka was but everything else we had to wait for.
Reason why the drinks are sassy is because when anakin destroyed the base in episode one they were no longer on one server making them somewhat independent
Dooku said tarkin's line, "You may fire when ready"
Yoda is such a G.
He is grandmaster for a reason , you dont live to 900 without being very strong
12:00 Oh trust me, just wait till Season 6 for that
Imagine how much stronger than you one has to be to telekinetically take the weapons you're actively gripping when you also have telekinetic powers that would otherwise help you keep your weapons
i swear the episode with the lifepoads geting almost destroyed was the scariest thing when i was a kid, real trauma haha
Count Dooku get much more fleshed out in this series. And some important tidbits are in the Tales of the Jedi shorts.
If I remember correctly Ashoka was written "unlikeable" on purpose, so that she grew on the audience with her own path of growth. Quite clever I think and it worked.
I LOVE THAT LINE FROM PLO KOON
The thing about Ahsoka is that she was intentionally written to be brattish and hard to tolerate but overtime would grow and improve. So if anyone still hates her after that then thats a skill issue on their part
14:21 The Clone Wars movie *DID* come put first, *before* Season 1 Episode 1. So we did properly meet Ahsoka in the the movie first.
YES!! KEEP GOING!! You're in season 1, the visuals get better, and the show builds on itself and the films 🎉
Just for your guys info, the creator of this show, Dave Filoni, also helped create the first season of avatar the last airbender.
The in cannon explanation for the druid individuality is that they aren't maintained correctly.
"Ah well, it's my programming"
Remember, the Droid Army is designed to lose this war.
After the less than stellar reception of the clone wars movie these episodes really showed the potential the show had
The Clone Wars is a great series, it really does a good job of bringing the clones and droids to life.When you get to Tales of the Jedi, you'll find out more about Count Dooku's backstory
Ahsoka was kind of like the 'Wesley Crusher' of the Clone Wars. Thank goodness the writing was there to help Dave Filoni complete his plans for her that he had from the beginning...
Yoda, Master of Dooku, Master of Qui gon, Master of Obi-Wan, Master of Anakin, Master of Ahsoka
The movie came out before the show, so we DID know who Ahsoka was going into Rising Malevolence.
As an FYI lads the movie came out before episode one so we would have context for ahsoka being anakins padawan
IIRC the reason the episodes are out of order is because of the work schedule the animators had, some of the episodes were actually animated out of order so they could get more of the shorter episodes done in time to air.
Also, whatever way you watch Clone Wars the Movie comes before any of these episodes, so Ahsoka being Anakin's apprentice wasn't a shock to anyone. Just you boys lol.
This literally will be a repeat of the evolution of how fans view Ahsoka over time, like it was a few years back.
Regarding Ahsoka, The Clone Wars movie did come out beforehand technically so it wouldn't have been that crazy
Whats sad with the clones in the first episodes are what happens with some of them, Jek is the clone during RotS thats tries to execute Yoda and gets decapitated by him and Thire are one of the clones thats goin with Palpatine to fetch Vader after his loss in the duel with Kenobi
I feel you probably know by now, but the movie was the first thing to be released out of everything, so Ahsoka was introduced first, the movie acted like the pilot for the series
So called "free thinkers" when they hear a droid go "Roger roger".
(I too said roger roger)
Just a heads up, you're going to see a LOT of war crimes throughout the show committed by both sides. As for the jumbled order, there's a few different reasons why the episodes were released out of order. Sometimes they would have an idea later on for an arc that already happened or just want to revisit an older arc, sometimes they'd have an idea early on, but not have the budget for it (they didn't have a very big budget even by TV standards for the first season), but still other times it would be intentional. This episode wasn't originally supposed to be the first episode of season 1, but the order of the episodes was changed very close to the series' premiere for reasons I'm not aware of.
Star Wars: Republic Heros is a 3D platformer that takes the art style and voice actors of Clone Wars and makes its own campaign. If interested in playing, it's best to start only after finishing season 1.
Some think it's garbage, I think it's more of a novelty since it blends well with the Clone Wars shows.
Perhaps still my favorite episode of The Clone Wars. Yoda's wisdom and flexing are on absolute display in this premiere. My love for The Clone Army really started building, from here on. Seeing this after The Clone Wars movie, I had a feeling that my view of The Prequel Trilogy Era would be improved. I LOVE the Malevolence Arc! My favorite string of episodes. Love to see the collection of Jedi, Clone, and Republic Heroes and Heroines that show up for it. Great reaction, Guys. Looking forward to more in the future. Subscribed...finally. May The Force Be With You...👍💙
I've always loved the relationship between Ashoka and Anakin and plo koon
Technically, episode 1 was the movie. So Ahsoka was already introduced according to release order
The battle droids are just hilarious in the show. 😂
In terms of release order, the movie still came first, so you’d know Ashoka. Just all the episodes around it giving the context weren’t there
