This whole arc is basically Dee Bradley Baker alone in a room talking to himself.
_I'm Bakeing in here!_
As if we haven't heard that one before...
Salty?
I hope he gets paid well for “The Bad Batch” haha
All lf the Bad Batch too lol
22:34: Rest In Peace Waxer. He was the trooper who took care of that twilek girl
His death still makes me cry.
Also rescued Obi wan from a downed gunship on the geonosis episode
Same :(
He also gets retconned and is alive right
@@smittydog16 I don’t think so
Numa, I believe was her name. I think she also helped Cham Syndulla fight the Empire in Rebels
I wouldn't say this is my most anticipated arc, the final arc in the final season is probably my most anticipated, but this is probably top 5. Along with the wrong jedi arc.
Rex running out screaming to not shoot and the clones realizing what’s happening will never not make me cry. RIP Hardcase and Waxer. We knew Waxer for so long in the show
The clone that cried, was Waxer one of the 2 clones who rescued that Twi’lek girl in the earlier seasons.
One of the first episodes that gripped me. RIP 🙏
@@Brandon.S.Brooker Ryloth arc is still high on my list. I haven’t done one in a while but it’s one of my favorites for sure
Don’t forget Fives going forward. He’s essential
Find Fives. Find him...
And Tup! He is a good soldier.
@@Brandon.S.Brooker 👀👀
Jen : I like rex
Holden : Me too
Dave filoni : This is where the fun begins
I remember that in a previous reaction Holden said he didn't start to feel for the clones yet, he's falling into the maze filoni designed just like we all did
The Umbara arc is when I noticed the Clone Wars started to have more of a movie production. With its lighting and camera shots. It elevated and became a more high end production
I feel like Jen has given up saying Holden's full name at this point.
All of Krell's fights in this felt so sinister and powerful - he's a scary character.
30:04
Jen be like: „And you Rex, we‘ll watch your career with great interest.“
Best Regards
Good choice of Clone, and I am glad that Rex was no longer around at the time of Rey, imagine the cringe that he would have felt.
I know these clone wars videos don't do the best, but thanks for releasing them! They're a bright spot for me because I grew up on clone wars and it gives me access to memories I so desperately want to relive. This arc was the first time I ever had a moment of, "Oh so this is what clone wars can be: a bunch of really excellent Star Wars movies made with animation." Once again, I really appreciate being able to see your reactions to this show.
This. It was a ritual for me after middle school to sit down and watch. Miss those days a lot
7:27 Palpatine called him away. His prized pet could get hurt if he fights against an enemy he didn’t fix ahead of time.
That really sucks that you guys watched these out of order, I’m so sorry that happened that way. I’m guessing the last episode would have hit harder if the other two came before it for you. Glad you enjoyed it though.
What did he have for you?
@@andreasbuscheskesennielsen3655 it’s called FAKE NEWS, that’s not Holden. I reported the comment already.
For a Clone Trooper, this was like fighting in space Vietnam
17:25 Hardcase: "Sir, permission to leave the starfighter?"
Fives: "For what purpose, Hardcase?"
Hardcase: "To give the Separatists back their bomb."
It didn't take long for Umbara to fall: the locals were ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we were able to find out about General Krell, unlocked his secrets, and shattered our enemy's resolve. But not without a great cost.
Our victory - your victory, Hardcase- was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But now you belong to Umbara. Your body, your armor - all charred and turned to ash. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can fight on.
-CT-7567 "Rex"
Halo reach 😂😂
Someone has to point out that the clone loyal to Krell to the end is named DOGMA. I mean, talk about laying it on thick.
Let me remind you of Ima-Gun Di
And thus comes the moment where everyone started to realize the clones are just kind of victims in the war.
And then it just gets worse, and worse. Rex said, that they weren't programed. They had to learn to make their own decisions.
But that's not entirely true now is it? From a certain point of view.
When we actually have the WAR in Star Wars they always deliver. Everything about this arc is so good and shows just how much the clones have to sacrifice
15:54 but especially during the clone wars. This sequence was so well choreographed by the episodic director Kyle Dunlevy
This arc is so cool because the last episode is like a mini order 66.
Normally I don't like to pay to watch stuff. Like disney plus or netflix even those I have to push myself to pay. But I haven't regretted a single second after I bought the channel membership so I can watch your reaction to clone wars. It's worth every euro and I want to thank you both for that. I will happily continue paying and making your lives even a tiny bit easier!
❤️❤️❤️ - Jen
The rest of this season is pretty much perfect, imo
This is my favorite ark! This really shows the depth of Dee Bradly Baker’s performance. Its also shows us the most in-depth look on how independent the clones think compared to the droids we have seen throughout the series.
Krell is the same spieces as Dex in Ep2; they have four arms, so wielding two double bladed lightsaber pretty much fits their anatomy alright.
Wishing you good luck editing the following „The Clone Wars“-reactions, Holden.
The next 8 videos will probably have 4 episodes in each reaction.
Because it will continue as follows: The next one is an arc with 3 episodes plus an one-off. Afterwards there are 7 arcs in a row, where each arc consists out of 4 episodes.
Best Regards
There are many MANY good things to be said about this arc and I will do no different. Throughout the course of the arc we can occasionally see a clone with a small arrow on his helmet. That clone is named Appo, having been named after ATLA's Appa, who along with Momo is also voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
If you remember the Umbaran senator from the senator arc, he was the vampire looking one, the war broke out because of his death. His home world was pissed and tried to leave the republic
I always liked Captain Rex, but this was one of the arcs that made me love him! My favorite character in Star Wars to this day
long have we waited for this day
Exactly the kind of content I wanted from the show.
Fun facts!
The loyal clone who killed Krell was named "Dogma" (Subtle, huh? lol)
The clone with the arrow helmet at 18:09 is Commander (in the show, Sergeant) Appo who shows up and talks during the Jedi Temple purge and was attacked by a Padawan (played George Lucas' son; Jett Lucas) in Revenge of the Sith.
On a side comment, it's interesting how force users with strong connections to the Dark Side knew that the tides were turning in the Clone Wars and made efforts to adapt. As opposed to the Jedi who were, at worst ignorant, and at best confused and uneasy about the nature of the war.
This arc is one of the best, super super interesting and one that you don’t see or hear much in Star Wars. I’m so glad you’re both watching and loving the show!! It keeps getting better!!
Holden: “This guy is a Sith I feel like”
Me: Oh you have no idea.
General Krells weapons are actually looked down on by the Jedi Order, they see the light Bo as too aggressive and a weapon more suited to the attack styles of the Sith.
I like this arc as a prime illustration of what war does to people, especially in command positions. This is exactly why it was such a genius move by Palpatine to make all the Jedi generals. He knew that this kind of power and responsibility will inevitably force them to make hard decisions, compromise their moral code and therefore push some of them to the dark side. Which is exactly what happened to Krell.
This is one of, if not my favorite, what its like to be a clone soldier episode.
With this episode Holden and Jen are 58.08% through The Clone Wars!

Day 13 of keeping an excel list of all the episodes Holden and Jen have watched and in which videos.
Any suggestions are welcome ;)
Appreciate your stats
You guys do a really great job of splitting up really nice action as well as your reactions. Its like a summary of the episode
Umbara is generally considered the Vietnam of the Clone Wars
I don’t know if you know this but at 18:10 the trooper with the arrow on his head is named Appo, it’s referencing appa from avatar the last Airbender because Dave Filoni worked on both. Appo also was in Revenge of Sith
“This is where the fun begins”
This was the arc where I started saying to myself "This isn't for kids". It struck me as a Vietnam film and it was the first time that I recalled asking "Why DID the clones follow through on Order 66?" Because we can clearly see that the clones are capable of making their own decisions and distinguishing right from wrong
I wish Krell wasn't so black and white, but at the same time I look at it as a precursor to Order 66. This is probably how a clone would view what it means for a Jedi to betray the Republic, so now that this happened and I bet the story spread among the clones, now they have a definite example of a Jedi that did deserve Order 66
Shows the influence of order 66. They all struggled on their decision to deal with Krell. Even in the face of him killing so many on purpose. Also, all the clones were trying to kill or injure Krell, it was Tupp that chose to stun him.
General Krell is the same alien species as Dexter, Obi Wan's friend from the dinner, the one who tells him about Jango Fett's dart in Episode II.
This is the arc that got me hooked on TCW and MESSED ME UP so bad I was left catatonic for the rest of the day. The friendly fire scene just destroyed me. Plus the animation and sound design are just exquisite!
Yeah Jedi and Sith are cool and all but I love watching just clones in this show, their stories always awesome and deep. And I love how we see not random clones but troopers that we already knew from old episodes.
seeing the final 2 seasons and arcs then rewatching the show is actually so satisfying
I’ve been looking forward to this since you started this journey.
"I've seen enough Hentai to see where this is going!" That line and your wife's look are one of the best things I've heard and seen all year!
16:45: Don’t rat out your brothers, Dogma
First test of order 66 here if you think about it and some theory's say since Palpatine called anikin away he was not only testing it out but also trying to kill Rex because of anikin's attachment to him. I absolutely love this arc it was the first bit of star wars I ever saw and made me become a fan ever since
Fun Fact: Prior to Disney owning Star Wars and changing the canon, the protocol that the Clones followed in this arc to justify removing Krell was Order 66.
The chips idea was already in the works before Disney acquired Star Wars. Disney only influenced Season 7, but the chips first appear in Season 6.
@@FreakDaMIghet The chips were there to make sure that the clones obeyed Order 66, but in legends Order 66 was put in place along with other contingency orders with the full knowledge of the Jedi for situations just like Krell. One such was Order 65 which involved arresting or killing the chancellor if the situation required it.
@@JacobLunbeck either way the chips make sense for Palpatine since he would want a guaranteed victory over the Jedi plus he loves the idea of turning people against one another because he’s very sadistic like that.
One of my fav in the series. I enjoyed the creation of Krell and was left wondering about his back story. When did he fall and what other crimes might he have done.
I loved when he cuts loose on the clones and we see just how lethal a Force users can be to clones.
Great video!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW AND ARC OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
20:07: Well technically armies throughout history did that. Next step up from Court martial is execution
During ww1 in France, soldiers were executed because they refused to wear the red pants because it just made them targets for the ennemies
@@andredulac4456 Exactly. Discipline was pretty heavily enforced in the British army too. And if you go back to Roman times, decimation was one of the most common things they Did.
I hate how the writers chickened out by having Pong Krell a fallen Jedi.
Yeah, I’m surprised Crowell is the only today we know that did this. For seeing the empires rise, he knows what’s coming, killing his own cause like there’s a pretty good way of securing that or 66 doesn’t really get to him funny enough kind of did.
The scope of this war is enormous mutliple battles across thousands of planets going on at the same time.
Why it’s almost like a... star war
18:10 this clone is named appo after aangs bison as Dave filoni made both shows
Been waiting for this one
You really need to watch the entire 5’s arch over after finishing. His arch is stretched over a lot of over arches you’d never notice. He’s the one clone most of us would cry over. Highly recommend bro
This is where the fun begins!
From a storytelling-perspective this is one of the best stories in the whole franchise
I would love a Tales of the Jedi about Krell.
This arc is amazing everything about it awesome. There are so many cool background details in this arc, more than any other
I know Holden joking about the Storm troopers not hitting anything. This situation was different & the Clones never miss
Pong Krell was a badass, the deep helicopter-like hum from his sabers sounded so cool, its a shame it turned out being... bad....
also he is the same race as Dex From the Kenobi's diner scene in SW:EP2
20:40 Funny but youre obviously talking about Stroomtroppers which are not clones. Just recruits from throughout the galaxy as the empire phased out the expensive and aging clones
Where ordinary people part of the clone army
Clones are the best part of the show for me, triggered more emotion from me than anything jedi/sith related.
Honestly tied with the Siege of Mandalore as the greatest arc in clone wars
this is the ideal star wars arc, you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like
Clone: “We aren’t a bunch of unthinking driods!”
That aged poorly
At first I thought Krell was either a sith or just prejudice towards the clones. He reminded me of some of the WWII White commanders sacrificing their Black or Japanese-American battalions on the most reckless and direct attacks. They employed strategies that showed a wanton disregard for the lives of the troops under their commands and which often ended in mass casualties.
I’ve seen so many video essays over the past few years JUST on this arc, they really told a great story with this one
Some of the creative minds behind avatar the last airbender went on to clone wars. Appo (clone with an arrow on his head) is a reference to Appa.
I feel like the last episodes fighting between Krell and the clones was inspired by General Grevious fights in 2003 original clone wars cartoon
Man the saddest thing about this arc is the fact that Krell is basically just a Dooku fanboy hoping that Senpai notices him after he commits treason.
I assume Krell had visions of Order 66 & that’s where his feelings towards the Clones comes from.
Never clicked on anything faster in my life !!!! Umbara arc is the juicy arcs ! Vietnam In space
This arc really shows how corrupt the jedi have become. Krell is just one jedi that hates clones or wants nothing to do with them. Which for some jedi was a good thing cause it helped them servive order 66. Then there's the clones perspective of the jedi that treated them like Krell, and how they gladly executed the order because of the poor treatment.
Did you guys notice that we had two clones with the number 5 on their face?
Dogma has the roman numeral 5 and Fives has his 5. Dogma's name really fits his definition while Fives is more of a free thinker
Hey, Holden and Jen!
DARKNESS ON UMBARA:
This is one of the finest arcs of the series and it's a clone-centric one!
As this arc involves FIVES, this is the fourth DOMINO SQUAD story.
REX's leadership quality really shines in this arc. Here he saves his men from an ambush by retreating against orders.
The murder of pale and snide Umbaran Senator MEE DEECHI in "Senate Murders" (Season 2, Episode 15) precipitated Umbara's secession from the Republic. SLY MOORE, Palpatine's pale, bald female aide, was an Umbaran seen in live-action in "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith" during the Chancellor's announcement of the clone army, his attendance at the opera and his Imperial declaration.
The introduction of Besalisk Jedi Master PONG KRELL, a Jedi with a most unusual perspective.
DEXTER JETTSTER, the diner owner who tipped Obi-Wan off about Kamino, was a BESALISK seen in live action in "Attack of the Clones".
The return of FIVES last seen in the Citadel Trilogy of Season 3.
The return of JESSE and HARDCASE last seen in "The Deserter" (Season 2, Episode 10).
The return of ODDBALL last seen in the "Clone Wars" movie. The pilot who firebombs the ridge is seen in live-action in "Revenge of the Sith".
The introduction of troopers TUP and DOGMA.
HARDCASE saves FIVES from a man-eating VIXUS PLANT!
Trooper armor, tattoo and hair differentiation:
REX: two inverted 'V's on helmet, bald
FIVES: semi-circle on helmet, '5' tattoo on right temple, goatee
HARDCASE: front-to-back parallel stripes on helmet, double blue line tattoo on right temple, bald, heavy rotary cannon
JESSE: Republic symbol on helmet, Republic tattoo on scalp and face, bald
TUP: right teardrop on helmet, right teardrop tattoo, man-bun
DOGMA: 'V' on helmet face, 'V' tattoo on face, widow's peak
ODDBALL: in starfighter
Blink and you'll miss Padawans AHSOKA TANO and BARRISS OFFEE engaged in the orbital battle over Umbara during the opening narration.
THE GENERAL:
The advanced heavy-duty Umbaran hardware turns General KRELL's reckless frontal assault into a meat-grinder!
REX's excellent leadership had him make a boots-on-the-ground revision to Krell's strategy using it as cover for a stealthy infiltration to acquire air support.
This arc is one of the few times the clones battle other living beings instead of droids.
The Umbarans' armor and faceplate is modeled after that of the SARDAUKAR in Frank Herbert's "Dune".
The VAPOR issuing from the cracked Umbaran helmets is a gas that boosts the troops' aggression and stamina! They're juiced like the Dominion's JEM'HADAR from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".
The vehicles the Umbarans use have a wild design resembling centipedes and scorpions!
The return of KIX, the medic clone, last seen in "The Deserter" (Season 2, Episode 10).
KIX: front-to-back solid stripe on helmet, lightning shaved into peach fuzz on scalp
The clone standing by Krell who offers to assist the 501st but is ordered to stand down is Sergeant APPO who will later prevent Bail Organa from entering the Jedi Temple in "Revenge of the Sith".
PLAN OF DISSENT:
A trio of clones execute a successful stealth mission in direct opposition to the General's orders and Pong Krell will have his pound of flesh!
REX demonstrates his leadership quality yet again by recognizing the merits of Fives' plan, by covering for the disobedient trio and by accepting responsibility on their behalf.
Rex references what Anakin did against a LUCREHULK in "Phantom Menace" when noting the similarities between Fives' plan and Anakin's exploit.
FIVES' attempt to mollify Krell's demands for an explanation of the disturbance in the hangar as Hardcase struggles with the starfighter's controls is an homage to the scene where Han tries to reassure the Imperial officer demanding to know the nature of the disturbance in the detention block in "A New Hope".
FIVES, JESSE and HARDCASE punch through the atmosphere into a firestorm but manage to make it all the way to the control ship's reactor before a tactical droid drops a ray shield in their path!
Loyal DOGMA almost spilled the beans!
The DEATH of HARDCASE!
FIVES and JESSE face a court martial where a guilty verdict means execution!
CARNAGE OF KRELL:
PONG KRELL has been the substitute teacher from Hell and the 501st have had enough!
Krell orders that FIVES and JESSE be SUMMARILY EXECUTED without a court martial but a firing squad which includes KIX and TUP is unable to gun the two of them down after Fives reminds them angrily that they're men, not droids!
Thwarted, Krell commits a wartime atrocity by stage-managing a FRIENDLY-FIRE MASSACRE!
The DEATH of WAXER last seen in "Landing at Point Rain" (Season 2, Episode 5). His helmet bears the image of little NUMA from "Innocents of Ryloth" (Season 1, Episode 20). Waxer's distinctive facial hair was a soul patch. I really like the single tear he sheds as he dies.
REX orchestrates a mutiny and its the greatest example of his fine leadership yet!
The scene of Krell's attempted arrest mirrors the scene of Palpatine's attempted arrest in "Revenge of the Sith".
The powerful Besalisk Master butchers the clones with his dual-bladed lightsabers until TUP bags the rogue General using the vicious VIXUS PLANT!
Krell delivers a frighteningly accurate PROPHECY OF DOOM!
DOGMA, the only loyal clone, executes the sadistic and twisted fallen Jedi!
The darkest and most sobering arc to date in the series that leaves Rex questioning the point of the war.
For all the talk of being independent-thinking men, this arc just brings the tragedy of Order 66 into sharp focus when you consider how the clones would have acted if given the choice.
In LEGENDS, the role of Pong Krell fell to Weequay Master SORA BULQ briefly seen in the background of a situation room briefing in the animated show. He protests the war as a violation of Jedi principles initially creating a schism within the Order but eventually becomes Dooku's acolyte.
The rise of Krell was foreshadowed by Mon Calamari Knight NAHDAR VEBB's aggression and callousness in "Lair of Grievous" (Season 1, Episode 10).
This hearkens back to the conversation about the underlying theme of the entire series between Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano in "Brain Invaders" (Season 2, Episode 8) about the role of the Jedi. The war has compromised the Jedis' principles making them blind to the corrupted nature of those in their ranks like Krell while the same conditions seem to provide Palpatine clarity in that he positioned Krell where he could create chaos, sow discord and demoralize the Order.
What did you think of the reaction tho, or their end discussion?
Geonosis was Clone Wars D-Day.
Umbara is Clone Wars Vietnam.
Omg I love Jen's shirt haha
This was a crucial part of the show
Loving this series! But when will we see more Avatar? 🥺 We're so close to the end, and it gets SO GOOD!
One of my favorite arcs! This is the one that got me and my kid brother really into the clone wars.
This arc and the final season’s arc are my favorites, did emotional and pretty fd up when you realize what is happening.
This is where the fun begins
The Numa painting on Waxer's armour though 😭
One of my favourite arcs
Waxer's tear breaks me, specally if you notice his helmet
The fog is speaking Umbaran!
I wish they had more connection to fives and echo and some of the other clones before they died.
About 20:39 clones can shoot, stormtrooper not. If you watched all battlefield, they are definitely better .
This arc is known to fans as the “Fuck Pong Krell” arc.
how can you be loyal to someone you do not trust?
I’m loyal to my government but I don’t trust them
To be fair, some of them did close their eyes right before shooting at Fives and Jesse. ;P
Fun fact for Holden and Jen: If you look closely, Waxer's helmet from his new Phase II clone trooper armor shows a design of a young Twi'lek at the front forehead area of his helmet. That young Twi'lek is Numa. The little girl who looked emaciated and suffered through great war during that Ryloth arc waaay back in S1. The same little girl that both Waxer and Boil helped to save. Hits me in the feels every time, seeing that Numa drawing on Waxer's helmet. Boil's helmet symbol is more complicated and vague, interestingly enough. Not sure what his black symbol represents, exactly. Also, 1 more fun fact: Both Waxer and Boil had Numa painted on their helmets during the 2nd Battle of Geonosis arc you guys watched. It's again very easy to miss, but it's there on both of their ARF trooper style helmets if you also look closely, but only during that battle and when they had those brown, camo 212th ARF trooper uniforms at the time! :D
