Idk why people say that it’s not believable that season 7 Anakin can turn... he’s still the hero, but apart from the obvious Vader personality that he has sometimes (when he killed admiral trench for example), you can clearly see how he is an extremely tired man, no longer enthusiastic and faking to be alright. It’s strange no one asked him “is everything okay?”. His behavior is similar to ROTS, he seems to smile and be happy but he’s clearly not OK inside. I would have loved to see more of him in s7, since the fatigue of the outer rim sieges certainly had an impact on his ability to think rationally in ROTS
That’s was one of the problems with the Jedi council they told him to ignore his feelings, which is not healthy for any person. Plus over the years the council never respected him for what he did a lot of the stuff in rots got done because of Anakin the war would be different without him, Dooku would be alive and probably obi wan be dead
He is fine when his friend are with him and he constantly communicating with Padme. But when they are not around he shows his true personality. He was smiling when he was with bad batch and Rex but right after he left them to find Trench his face looked so similar to when the Son make him fall to the dark side.

"We capture Grievous, we defeat Maul, with any luck this will all be over soon..." really hard hearing him say that like it'll just be another day on the job and afterwards they'll be able to go out for a burger when we all know what's about to come...
After seeing Anakin in Season 7, it was like Episode III hit me so much harder. I felt like it made his fall to the dark side so much more devastating. I'd be sobbing like a baby if I were Obi-Wan.
The saddest thing for me about this season is that you just know what’s coming. The scenes in every episode seem to become prolonged than before, and you can tell that there’s not much time left for order 66 to be revealed. I was so emotional when maul began to talk about it before he was captured. He knew what was coming and knew that Anakin was running out of time. The scene where they boarded the star destroyer broke me, the eerie silence between scenes and then we get the subtle hints that order 66 is under way, and that Ashoka has her visions and realised that Anakin was in danger. Truly heartbreaking to me.
Yeah, you look at this guy in season 7 and see how hard it is to believe that he's going to go slaughter a room full of unarmed senators, generals, businessmen, leaders, exterminate an entire religion, and betray everyone he's worked so hard to protect and everything he's worked so hard to achieve. And then be burned alive. Absolutely everything about him just screams "Hero"
No I think it screams a very genuine but underdeveloped or at least less mature feeling approach. He is kind of like a loyal puppy dog in a way, not that he's stupid per se but very loyal to his friends. In a very caring way but you can see how this would come apart. Especially if pushed and with enough negative experiences and some isolation, plus his core emotional security being threatened and relationships. Not surprised he breaks down he's going through a lot and this is like the good phase. The oh everything is fine before the oh fuck its not

The fact he almost never appeared in the sequels except a single voice line is the most devastating thing ever. Especially since his lightsaber was literally buried in SAND.
When the show originally got canceled and then they released the unfinished reels with the season 7 models, I was so sad we'd never get to see the fully finished clone wars style episode 3 Anakin. It was worth the the seven year wait!

I really appreciate the clone wars because it shows how Anakin's character develops to a place where he is taken over by Darth Vader. Imo the prequel trilogy doesn't develop him enough to get him there
That moment where he senses ahsoka, he's so good that it almost makes up for the horrible arc. I'm sure you all know it's a reference to return of the Jedi
You know after The bad batch came out, 1:35 becomes more interesting, Anakin senses crosshair as an immediate threat, Crosshair also hold his blaster pointed at Anakin for some time before they both lower their weapons. Seems like Crosshair had no issue killing Jedi before order 66 came into affect
I'm so glad you included Admiral Yularen saying Anakin Skywalker in the opening narration. Without Tom Kane telling me who Anakin Skywalker is every episode, I wouldn't know who that was.
Fun Fact: The way that Anakin kills the giant Spider Droid at 2:42 is extremely similar to animation used in the old Xbox 360 game Star Wars: the Clone Wars Republic Heroes when killing the same exact time of droid. Look up some footage of the first level in the game, and you’ll see what I mean at the end. If that was intentional, that was a great way reference to a pretty obscure piece of Star Wars media that came out around the same time this TV show started!
And 5:49 when Anakin saw Ashoka like he woke up from depression and then when they met in person he looked at her with such affection like he would thought My Baby is here with me again, my Sweet Ashoka, I missed her so much, like he wanted to turn her to him and hug her and kiss her, tell her everything that he felt and later when he gave her lightsabers and left her alone she looked like She wanted say to him what she had felt but she went coward on him and shuted her mouth, they love eachother, and were eachothers soulmates
It had to match Hayden’s hairstyle from ROTS as season 7 of Clone Wars is literally set weeks before the Episode III so they had to make his hair long to march Anakin from the movies.
@ 6:32 - Next time we see these two together again, it's in a shot just like that. Only Ahsoka is older & Anakin is Vader. This exact shot is in the Rebels during Twilight of the Apprentice.
Still frustrated to this day about people talking about this "high ground" thing with Obiwan on Mustafar as a physical/realistic issue. Anakin spent most of the clone wars - lightsaber duels included - jumping around everywhere, both in series and movies. Being 1 meter downhill from your opponent was NEVER stated as being an issue, for such accomplished warriors : they basically almost fly, and can push themselves or others, at anytime, to change their courses/gravity, or deflect almost anything. It always sounded more like a philosophical stand point, the MORALE high ground, making Anakin rage "weak", as he's losing himself, and his noble strenght, to the dark side, and he's just trying to lie to himself. Obiwan really looks like he's saying : "you know you're fooling yourself, stop this madness, you know I tell the truth, you know the Jedis are the good side, here, if there's any. You know I got the morale high ground in this pointless debate and battle between each other, brother. Just surrender and give up your foolishly murderous errands, here. You can't win this argument of catastrophic proportions. You can't beat me like this. It's a whole. And you're fighting the wrong person, for the wrong reasons. And that's why you're not winning here, and already have lost, somehow, even if you beat me. I got the (morale) high ground." Seeing him take down a building-tall droid artillery like he was pouring himself a cup of tea on a chill sunday sure reinforce my conviction about that. Please make a point to reinstall the true meaning of this high ground. Jedis are freaking demi-gods of war feats and virtue. Not out of breath amateur athletes slipping on a simple sommersault.
What you're saying is right. In any other context/battle Anakin would've won but remember, he isn't fighting a droid, or a jedi apprentice, he is fighting his former master Obi-Wan, maybe against any other adversary below obi wan that move is completely safe to use but this was a Jedi master at his prime, who defeated Darth maul (later kills him in one move) if at all Obi Wan is the master of using an opponent's mistake to win a fight, in ROTS it was Anakin's arrogance, sober (haha) light side Anakin wouldn't have attempted that move ON Obi-Wan. Plus obi-wan was practically destined/trained to fight and win against Anakin from the very beginning. There's a video on it, cheers.
some say anakin was "dark" for killing trench and i would disagree bc it was technically self defense since trench attacked him with the electric cane and to be fair, anakin warned him he had no weaknesses or that he would kill him like dooku would. i still think anakin is the chosen one and although he did bad things, you can't blame him for turning to the dark side knowing all the doubt and lack of support on top of losing so much. i feel the jedi council was responsible for holding him back and doubting him since he was little. i know there were concerns but still fair to support him like any jedi
Ahsoka: Anakin... good luck.

he smiles like he doesn't know he's gonna kill younglings, take over the Jedi temple, and become severely impaired.

@@tanner5809 That's just it isn't it. We want to see more Anakin, Obi Wan and Grievous fights. Maybe some Dooku.
@@TheLuconic What about Son of Dathomir?
I really appreciate the clone wars because it shows how Anakin's character develops to a place where he is taken over by Darth Vader. Imo the prequel trilogy doesn't develop him enough to get him there
Everyone loves it when Anakin is pissed
1:35
I think this is a hint to CrossHair and Vader working together to take down the rest of clone force 99 in the future of bad batch
Since Crosshair’s been burned, maybe they’ll have some camaraderie because they have been both burned trying to stop their former friends.
That moment where he senses ahsoka, he's so good that it almost makes up for the horrible arc. I'm sure you all know it's a reference to return of the Jedi
Yeah when Luke and Vader sense each other!
This arc wasn't even horrible buddy
@@djwitdaheat9750 think he meant the dumb sisters arc
You know after The bad batch came out, 1:35 becomes more interesting, Anakin senses crosshair as an immediate threat, Crosshair also hold his blaster pointed at Anakin for some time before they both lower their weapons. Seems like Crosshair had no issue killing Jedi before order 66 came into affect
The lightsabers looked so good in season 7
everything did
When Anakin has to be the parent of the group, you know that's gonna be a fun group.
the animation design is brilliant. he looks so tired, so worn down. its so sad
I'm so glad you included Admiral Yularen saying Anakin Skywalker in the opening narration. Without Tom Kane telling me who Anakin Skywalker is every episode, I wouldn't know who that was.
Fun Fact: The way that Anakin kills the giant Spider Droid at 2:42 is extremely similar to animation used in the old Xbox 360 game Star Wars: the Clone Wars Republic Heroes when killing the same exact time of droid. Look up some footage of the first level in the game, and you’ll see what I mean at the end.
If that was intentional, that was a great way reference to a pretty obscure piece of Star Wars media that came out around the same time this TV show started!
Nah fr I remember fighting that shit in the first level, seems like an intentional callback to me.
Had the game on the psp. It was so similar
Remember this in the Lego Wii game
The moment when you Realise That the scene of 6:32 was the last time Ahsoka saw the Light in Anakin
And 5:49 when Anakin saw Ashoka like he woke up from depression and then when they met in person he looked at her with such affection like he would thought My Baby is here with me again, my Sweet Ashoka, I missed her so much, like he wanted to turn her to him and hug her and kiss her, tell her everything that he felt and later when he gave her lightsabers and left her alone she looked like She wanted say to him what she had felt but she went coward on him and shuted her mouth, they love eachother, and were eachothers soulmates
3:20 This is supposed to be an Anakin Skywalker video, not a Darth Vader video
Still Anakin
@@darthmalice7464 I’m not serious....
@@darthmalice7464 wooosh to you my friend

@@hp9351 Sorry for offending you then. I said my opinion, take it or leave it. 😹
"I have come to surrender..."
Ankin Skywalker - Committing war crimes before turning into Darth Vader
“No blasting, no blowing things up, nobody knows we’re he-“ *Door Violently Opens*
I like it when Anakin says now R 2 and the Star Wars music starts playing
I think Anakin would be a perfect general for clone force 99, their attitude and battle plans would be perfect together
Anakin's hair grew. Nice!
It had to match Hayden’s hairstyle from ROTS as season 7 of Clone Wars is literally set weeks before the Episode III so they had to make his hair long to march Anakin from the movies.
best version of clone wars era anakin
Video starts: Anakin Skywalker
That one scene with Padme had better writing then all the scenes from the whole prequels
Man Anakin is so wise and at this point, just like the begging of revenge of the sith ❤
I would say that Anakin is the most Human character in the entirety of the franchise 💯🤔
Which makes his downfall the more tragic
I love the blue lightsaber color even more after watching this video!! 💙💙
Season 7 Anakin was the best.
its crazy how incredibly well the soundtrack fits each scene too
You know its nearing the end when anakins hair gets long...
Ahsoka: good luck
Anakin: Join me and together we can rule the galaxy
4:28 very vader-like post-kill taunt
I just want a version of star wars universe in which Anakin gets to have a happy life with his loved ones...
I like the scene where his lightsaber drops off his belt and lands next to Rex. Its a mirror if Obi-wan's saber landing next to Cody in ROTS
@ 6:32 - Next time we see these two together again, it's in a shot just like that. Only Ahsoka is older & Anakin is Vader. This exact shot is in the Rebels during Twilight of the Apprentice.
I like how anakin looks much closer to his ROTS apperance in season 7.
His hair is longer than the previous seasons, to fit ROTS!
6:28 For some reason it sounded like they were gonna play LotR Hobbit’s Shire music theme...
Funny. It sounded like that to me as well
The main clue that this takes place alongside Star Wars Episode 3: Anakin and Obi-Wan's models have been updated to look like their movie versions
3:38 that’s the same backflip he did in the Mustafar Lightsaber Battle when he first engaged Obi-Wan 🥲
I hope we will see him in "The Bad Batch"!
Kinda impossible since it’s after order 66
@O M I think he means see him as Vader
The last mission that Anakin and Rex did together
You also missed when Anakin was talking about the clones giving respect to Ahsoka
5:28
"...You have committed yet another war crime"
I always noticed that Anakin is very muscular, I don't even know how Anakin kept his cool with all those female Jedi and other females.
Because he's happily married to Padme.
He was muscular in the 2-D Clone Wars microseries from 2003 as well.
There a reason he a large fan base
This version of anakin look so wise😅
I was devastated watching last season of clone war's.
Still frustrated to this day about people talking about this "high ground" thing with Obiwan on Mustafar as a physical/realistic issue.
Anakin spent most of the clone wars - lightsaber duels included - jumping around everywhere, both in series and movies.
Being 1 meter downhill from your opponent was NEVER stated as being an issue, for such accomplished warriors : they basically almost fly, and can push themselves or others, at anytime, to change their courses/gravity, or deflect almost anything.
It always sounded more like a philosophical stand point, the MORALE high ground, making Anakin rage "weak", as he's losing himself, and his noble strenght, to the dark side, and he's just trying to lie to himself.
Obiwan really looks like he's saying : "you know you're fooling yourself, stop this madness, you know I tell the truth, you know the Jedis are the good side, here, if there's any.
You know I got the morale high ground in this pointless debate and battle between each other, brother.
Just surrender and give up your foolishly murderous errands, here.
You can't win this argument of catastrophic proportions.
You can't beat me like this.
It's a whole. And you're fighting the wrong person, for the wrong reasons.
And that's why you're not winning here, and already have lost, somehow, even if you beat me.
I got the (morale) high ground."
Seeing him take down a building-tall droid artillery like he was pouring himself a cup of tea on a chill sunday sure reinforce my conviction about that.
Please make a point to reinstall the true meaning of this high ground.
Jedis are freaking demi-gods of war feats and virtue.
Not out of breath amateur athletes slipping on a simple sommersault.
What you're saying is right. In any other context/battle Anakin would've won but remember, he isn't fighting a droid, or a jedi apprentice, he is fighting his former master Obi-Wan, maybe against any other adversary below obi wan that move is completely safe to use but this was a Jedi master at his prime, who defeated Darth maul (later kills him in one move) if at all Obi Wan is the master of using an opponent's mistake to win a fight, in ROTS it was Anakin's arrogance, sober (haha) light side Anakin wouldn't have attempted that move ON Obi-Wan. Plus obi-wan was practically destined/trained to fight and win against Anakin from the very beginning. There's a video on it, cheers.
The start is just „anakin skywalker“ lol
its insane how anakin had no idea about anything.. god i love star wars
Anakin in the prequel series can be best described as an anti hero.
When Anakin has Long Hair, you know things are about to go down.
It pains me that this is all we get of Season 7 Anakin
some say anakin was "dark" for killing trench and i would disagree bc it was technically self defense since trench attacked him with the electric cane and to be fair, anakin warned him he had no weaknesses or that he would kill him like dooku would. i still think anakin is the chosen one and although he did bad things, you can't blame him for turning to the dark side knowing all the doubt and lack of support on top of losing so much. i feel the jedi council was responsible for holding him back and doubting him since he was little. i know there were concerns but still fair to support him like any jedi
Season 7 is so damn heartbreaking, we really don't want what is to actually come to most of these characters.
