My favorite fun fact about the making of the show is that the creators had to find a way to avoid Grievous and Anakin from meeting for 6 seasons because of an off-hand line in Revenge of the Sith that suggested that the two had never met until then.
@@MythicBricks That scene was really cool because they never actually looked at each other. Aankin was half unconscious and so was looking down at the ground as he was dragged. Greivous was a) Binded in some way and couldn't look and b) So full of himself that he didn't care less who he was swapped for.

@@darkdanish9809 You've probably already seen it, but chronological order doesn't improve the show in any way (it stops being an anthology after season 2 pretty much anyway). But it is fun to see the little attentions to detail, such as why Yoda is on Toydaria in the very first (and probably worst) episode of the show in the first place. Even the crappy episodes ultimately end up paying off in some way. The worst arc imo is with the little green guy when they have all the astromech droids and they get lost on a salt planet... BUT we get introduced to Gregor and the clone commandos as a concept, and we find out that Gregor survive order 66 and the empire and is living with Rex in rebels. Patience is required to get the most, but the pay off outshines the movies in some parts
Rookies is the first episode of the Malevolance arc... Anyway, I enjoyed it. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it sucks... But yes, it's definitely not as good as episodes in later seasons.
One of my favorite exchanges from this show: Dooku: Without ugly in this world, there would be nothing beautiful. Obi-Wan: Thank you for your sacrifice
Exactly. Then in the movies, the only thing that makes it apparent of him going to the dark side is his obsession with preventing Padme's death. While in the show you can actually feel and see some of the decisions that make him lean closer to the dark side. How much in-fighting he had with the Jedi. How his rage can sometimes take over rather than in the movies its played off as just inexperience and naivety.
Uhhh it did a lot of that in the movies as well like killing all the sand people.... Like fucking all of them also he killed count dooku he went against the Jedi rules and dated and married padme he wanted more power he was selfish he wanted to save padme from death sooo yea
One thing I loved about Clone Wars is that it made the Clones, these faceless soldiers that are nothing but a plot device in the movies, actual people.
Thank u. The most impressing part of clone wars is how they made the clones characters instead of flesh beings with chips in their heads. Umbara is my favorite arc.
"Season 1 sucks, just skip it" DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU Malevolence Arc Ryloth Arc Obi Wan, Dooku, Anakin captured by Hondo Kit Fisto vs Grievous Rex and Cody finding the traitor AND WE MUST NEVER FORGET ROOKIES
I love the clone wars but this guy is uncultured. He doesn’t appreciate the excellent arcs in season 1 (not saying it’s the best season but that doesn’t make it bad when all the other season set such a rediculously high standard). Also the prequels were not bad, there were certainly flaws in those movies especially 2 and kinda 1 but episode 3 was amazing and in the context of Star Wars the characters actions even Anakin make sense even now that we have the Clone Wars. Again I am not saying there are no issues with the movies but I found them generally great movies.
I honestly feel this show makes the movies better like Order 66 is more impactful after spending more time with guys like Plo Koon and Ki Adi Mundi and Aayla Secure.
EXACTLY! There were others also featured like Kit-Fisto and Saessee Tinn who had brief cameos in the film have centric roles in the clone wars. Hell fun fact here, Admiral Yularen is actually one of the lead imperial officers in ANH, he is the guy in the white suit during the conference scene. It sucks he turned into an imperial douchebag when he was such a nice guy in TCW
Seriously though, in my opinion the major issue with the prequels wasn’t the storyline or the acting. It was the appalling dialogue that sort of made the scenes awkward. Many people blame Hayden Christensen for acting badly and too awkwardly but I think that he did his best with the script he was given. Besides, Anakin is supposed to be awkward especially in Attack of the Clones. In Revenge if the Sith, I believe that he was meant to be more conflicted so his whining sort of makes sense, however looking back at Clone Wars Anakin, there’s no competition between who is the best. They’re two different interpretations of him.
@@KangarooMonkey yee that’s what I mean. With the script that the actors were given they couldn’t make it work. But it’s not like the entire script is bad at least they made the ending good.
@@KangarooMonkey Direction. Not acting. If it was down to acting, Samuel L Jackson could make the lines work. Actors have to put a LOT of faith in the direction, and feedback they get. The actors were doing the best they could with bad dialogue, and utterly shit direction.
It just doesn’t feel right to see Anakin as so different and the script being weird but apparently the movie gets better with time and it’s not the worst.
Exactly! I just watched the episode with 5's and order 66 and my god I so wanted 5's to succeed and for that conspiracy to be revealed but it was even more heartbreaking that he doesn't 🥺 I've almost finished clone wars and it is gonna be even more heartbreaking watching order 66 happen knowing it was so close to be stopped...
In the movies the Clones are how Windu sees them: as Soldiers In the show they are portraied like Anakin and Obi-Wan see them: As humans with feelings Just a perfect show
“George Lucas did not make this tv show” he literally came up with the idea to make the show to properly explain the prequels better and would oversee production for nearly every episode up till season 7
@@KangarooMonkey I think Marcus knew that George was involved, but he said that because he knew that he wasn't a big part of it, I mean, "created by George Lucas" is at the end of every episode, I don't think he thought that George had no involvement in TCW
owen the Master RIGHT???? The clones are one of the reasons I love this show I love this era in Star Wars how can you not mention fives or captain Rex at all but anyway I’m glad he is spreading the word cause this show was my child hood
Oh boy they are definitely far from good. Taking children and brainwashing their parents only to turn them into child soldiers at the age of 15 is just one of their jobs
yea the show does a great job of showing them as this entrenched and aloof institution that doesnt reckon with the fact that it is essentially a glorified police force for the republic, which a lot of people dont like and for good reason
The Clone Wars show is for kids. Executions by firing squad and beheading, suicide, people being tortured to death, executing a bunch of innocent people, more beheading, filibusters, government corruption and embargoes, war profiteering, and brainworm parasites. Things kids would totally understand and enjoy.
This show also makes "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" have actual weight and pain to it. Watching Anakin evolve, how the war shaped him and his views, showing why Anakin and Padme work so well together, etc better explains his actions in the movie. Everything from how heartbreaking it is to watch Obi Won and Anakin fight to even the more mundane things, like why Anakin would be ticked about being denied the title of Jedi Master--since he's one of the most successful generals in the war. It's all there and even though the dialogue and vicariously the acting is still painful, your personal, emotional investment now exists thanks to this show. I can fucking go on and on about how much I love this show. Yeah, watch this show. Fall in love with the real Anakin Skywalker.
IchSagNurSchelle Especially knowing that Commander Cody was involved and didn’t get his chip out in time fucking felt like getting your organs ripped out slowly while your eyes are getting punctured and you’re still conscious.
personally i still do not like revenge of the sith. note anakin was somewhat justified in killing dooku since he couldn't be taken prisoner in a million years based on their situation, less justified in killing those sand people but they did kill his mother (note it explains his reasoning doesn't justify his actions in killing the sand people), however killing children and innocents, trusting a sith is better than the jedi (even though the jedi are fairly flawed it is like saying i hate the hypocrisy of the U.S and join nazi germany), and putting so much faith in an unclear vision that you indirectly cause it. And did this guy really think padme would never find out much less forgive him for the countless people he's killed. Also under the emporer he condones and in fact bolsters with brute force the slavery of multiple species including wookeis (given he's given in at this point the transistion just doesn't work). The primary issue is anakin's process in thinking the darkside could possibly save padme. And why the hell did anakin even remoltey 100% trust sidious? Like WHY? He could've left the jedi order just as ashoka did.
@@ravimanne8148 I agree. Most of the movie is bonkers in the leaps of logic and the complete lack of any angle that would make sense in motivations. I only meant that Star Wars Clone Wars creates Anakin as a fully fleshed-out person with both good and bad parts. In the series, he makes a lot of choices that the Jedi frown on, but normal people would consider commendable, like not giving up on Ashoka when it was believed she died or risking his life with his men, valuing every single clone's life, and feeling real emotion and empathy when any of his men died. (Which considering how much he valued life and wouldn't give up until every option was exhausted to save people, what he did in episode 3 is even more WTF?) The SWCW series allows the viewer at least some type of real emotional connection and regret when Anakin falls to the dark side. That's all.
It got good. At first, season one and a good part of season two, sucked. Latter half of 2 and onward, really developed the characters and the story. One of my favorite parts of the whole show was Thrawn.
@@sulturwood3226 to be fair, thrawn is one of the single greatest characters of the entire old expanded universe, and not including him or doing him justice would be handing the fans another reason to flay disney alive for their treatment of star wars.
The fight between maul and sidious was amazing it's one of the only times you get to actually see just how dangerous sidious was with a lightsaber besides when he fought windu
would you ever upload it anywhere? id love to see it, the clones are my favorites and they dont get mentioned that much so whenever they do i get so happy. this is great tho, im gonna show this vid to my friends who're considering watching it!

I remember watching the series premiere with my best friend, and being hype and shit and following the episodes as they came out all the way through, I cried when fives died. Anakin in episode 3 is broken form stuff that happens in clone wars, and he makes more sense in that movie after watching the clone wars. Everyone should fucking watch this show
One of the best things about the Clone Wars is how it improves the world of the sequels. In the movies, the world of the Republic and Coruscant feels like an empty set piece. The Clone Wars really fleshes it out. You get to actually understand the culture and the politics and what's going on in this society. You learn how things work. It makes the world feel more alive.
"You get to actually understand the culture and the politics and what's going on in this society. You learn how things work. It makes the world feel more alive." We already got that feeling from the PT already

It has the action and heart of Star Wars, and my only complaint is that it should have been longer, but other than that, this arc was just great Edit #4: First couple episodes of bad batch are out, pretty good, but doesn't hit the same as siege of mandalore. To be fair, high standards to live up to
I started watching clone wars a few weeks ago and it’s AMAZING. Best piece of media Star Wars has. The lightsaber fuels are amazing and so is the action. It’s now my fav show
I genuinely wish I had never watched The Clone Wars just so I could watch the whole show again from the start and enjoy it like I did the first time around. It’s so fucking good, I just want to feel the joy of watching episodes like the Maul arc and Ahsoka’s arc and the ARC Troopers arc for the first time again
It makes me sad that season 7 never got to air on Netflix. We do not even get to see the Siege of Mandalore arc on screen (Ahsoka, Death Watch, and Rex vs. Maul vs Order 66). At least season 7 is canon, and with it some released footage of incomplete animation of certain episodes and a book (Dark Disciples).
how dare you! obi-wans jokes were amazing! the "what do you think the height of stupidity is master? "anakin how tall are you?" was having anakin more burnt then on mustafar
"Anakin," "What?" "Control your insolence. The Count is concentrating." Not only did he burn Anakin with that line, he made Dooku hate him 15x more than he did before.
even though i’m not sure that specific line is in TCW, i LOVE how obi-wan went from figuratively to literally burning anakin :D if he wasn’t so clever and cheeky and quick witted, his character would have a completely different demeanor. it adds a really good element to the show.

Love the summaries you could also say the Umbara arc could also be fighting in the middle east since there was IEDs and people popping up out of nowhere raining hell
The thing that is so cool to me about this show is that half the time when I read the synopsis of an episode I think, “Well that doesn’t sound very interesting,” and then two minutes in and I’m completely enthralled.
Same, it honestly makes it better to me, he just slowly becomes less trusting of the Jedi, being willing to further further with boundaries, and doing darker things. Obviously, there’s still a gap between end of the show and episode 3, but still, it’s jice
@@sneakysquid9917 certain stories in the clone wars really highlight how the jedi council didn't trust anakin or helped him deal with loss like the council not trusting him with obi wan faking his own death and just leaving him to deal with it or how the council instantly turned on ahsoka when they thought she was behind the bombing at the temple causing her to leave the jedi order if you watch the clone wars you realize that when anakin started having vision of padame dying like he had with his mother you just see a desperate man who can't take losing anybody else and palpatine used and exploited that
@@GDubbJr Exactly and they give reason for it. All the things that happened further alienated Anakin from the council. metalsonic said pretty much the bulk of it. I mean that's far more interesting than him just being evil. The prequels alone without Clone Wars just make Anakin seem like he was destined to be evil. It was obvious from the start that he would turn, even without watching the OT.
It absolutely did. It shows how the council betrayed his apprentice, how he grew jealous of the guy hitting on Padme, his hatred towards the slave traders, his anger towards ventress interrogating and threatening her, it showed how the council didn’t trust anakin by keeping obi ones secrecy of being alive etc.The clone wars is a masterpiece to be quiet frank. I’m very glad its back and i hope Disney doesn’t force any nonsense to be added into the already finished seasons. Disney better leave Dave filoni alone and let him do his magic. Because he clearly knows exactly what hes doing and he actually understands and most importantly LOVES Star Wars.
That's my biggest issue with them! I mean Revenge of the Sith is a little overhated but damn they all could have been amazing if not better than the original trilogy if it weren't for the shitty writing! The CGI goes a little overboard sometimes too. They could have made the clone wars seens in Attack of the Clones in real time in rocky parts of the Sahara. It's all a big "what if."
Malcolm Mehaffey I think that's the best critique I've ever heard about the prequels. I like them for what they are, (love episode 3) but they could have been so much more
seriously, I can only imagine how good they'd be had he co-directed with someone. That's when lucas really shines. He has a lot of fantastic ideas, but he needs someone to reign him in every now and then. When you let Lucas's imagination run wild, you get jar jar
you hit the nail on the head, after i've watched Clone Wars i see the potential the prequels had and you can kinda see what George Lucas wanted to do, the story he wanted to tell but the execution wasn't that great sadly
I honestly feel like the first episode, "Ambush" is really good for setting the tone of the series. I was hooked the moment where Yoda had the squad remove their helmets after they expressed they were all the same, so he could address each of them as individuals; you could see right there and then that they were treating the Clones as actual characters, rather than nameless troopers as the films did. Plus, Episode 5 of season one "Rookies" is good, since Echo and Fives get a lot of screen time throughout the series. The Clone Wars was great because it solved the most major issue I had with the prequel trilogy. The time skip between the start of the First Battle of Geonosis and the middle/end of the Battle of Coruscant was extremely jarring. So much obviously happened between those two films. With the Clone Wars, we see what happened. And getting time to see why certain background characters were actually important was pretty cool.
I was so blown away when I saw the Darth Maul episodes when they came out. I wanted to tell everyone how fucking amazing it was! The problem with that was that I was in Year 6 or Grade 6 or whatever the equivalent is and I would get punished for swearing. lol. But that shit just got better and better! MAUL FIGHTING THE FUCKING LORD OF THE SITH, HIS OLD MASTER, DARTH SIDIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST EPISODE, IN MY OPINION: THE LAWLESS.
While I do enjoy Rebels, I totally understand why people view it poorly compared to The Clone Wars. Even though it is made by the same people the story telling is completely different. Nearly every arc of TCW had a neatly written story that really seemed like it could have been a mini movie with an obvious beginning, middle, and end. Rebels on the other hand has more drawn out stories but still has good climaxes and endings. For some reason it just seems like the writers are forced or encouraged to fill episodes with not very important content and pepper in main story elements throughout which really puts a hurting on the pacing and a lot of people's enjoyment of the show.
The part about Clone Wars not being made by Lucas but people who really didn't like the prequels could not be further from truth. Lucas was constantly guiding the team, and the main guy behind the wheel was Dave Filoni, who talked very positively about the prequels in multiple interviews. He's a fan of all things Star Wars. From what I gathered, he just wants to make good stories within the universe he loves. Oh, and bringing back Darth Maul was Lucas' idea.
We can't say "this vidéo sucks " but Lucas create a excellent universe , and now kids like this love clone wars or rebels and don't care about the extended universe . They think clone wars is EU , plz just ashoka ... rey version v1.00 , and really annoying
I George Lucas is given no credit in writing any of the episodes (which is obvious enough). Only Filoni and his team. Also, by "guidance" I think you mean they ran it by during production him to make sure it was okay with him.
It was actually Lucas that killed the EU. Disney is actually doing a good job of pulling A LOT of stuff in from the EU. Which might work out well. The EU wasn't exactly coherent. For every good story there was something else incoherent, contradictory, or flat out bad because they weren't a team of writers working together, and anyone could write something for the EU.
I watched Clone Wars for the first two seasons but stopped there because it was so childish. I've heard that later seasons get more dark, could you let me in which season the series get dark?
I would say around Season 3. That's when the show's animation quality went uphill, as well as the story. But if you really want the darkest moments, Season 4 is where it all begins.
I grew up with this show. The fact that it actually showed on screen death, brutal ones even and was a kids show enthralled me. That and the fact it's also a war setting which is something I've always liked in fiction. I remember playing the game clone wars adventures as a kid too and having so much fun, too bad it's shut down but does anyone else remember it?
Yes. I've always switched the cn channel when this show was on. I didn't like it... I'm watching it now 10 years later. I still don't like it. Mess, boring, fights, unorganized, random stuff. But sometimes I like it when it is interesting
The fight last like 3 seconds and Grievous feels like a filler villain in the movies. Cause that's why he is. They just wanted to have a reason for Obi Wan to be off Coruscant so that he can't protect Anakin from the dark side.
@@ether2275 i mean i don't really see a point in watching the prequal movies unless you want a extremely bare bones summary of what happened. Both animated series show more of what happened and are a better quality
Red X sorry... I didn't think it was that obvious. Personally, I just regard the trend category on UA-cam as shill content, broken algorithm output, and political propaganda.
I've been watching this show since I was like 7. I'm 13 now. I've grown an appreciation for it and re rewatched it. I used to watch it so much that I would lay there groaning because of my bad migraine but then be like "I'm not done with the story arc, so I'm not sleeping!" I was CRAZY for that show and still am.
Too bad he trashes every part of the prequels with blind hate and literally zero reason like he actually didnt even watch the movies. TCW is the shit, but the prequels are awesome too.
I kinda hate/like this guy since he has a bad opinion of REBELS and THE RETURN OF THE JEDI I actually enjoy return it really good for rebels I'm fine with it.
"This show was made by people who really disliked the Prequel Trilogy." Ah yes, Dave Filoni. Legendary prequel hater that in no way defended the movies.
Filoni practically got the job because he liked the prequels (rather didn't hate the prequels). I don't know what Cosmonaut is talking about. Also, Lucas was heavily involved throughout.
Coming back to rewatch this is always so funny when Marcus just INTENSELY asserts that "this fixes what YOU hate about the prequels" and that the creators "hated the prequels", because of the fact that a large amount, perhaps even a majority, of clone wars fans are prequel fans and both Dave Filoni and Sam Witwer have spoken in detail about the things they love about the prequels. You can't really make an entire show about the mythos and lore surrounding the prequels if you hate them
I think most people mismiss it because its rated as a "kid show" even know later seasons have some of the darkest scenes in star wars. With it being animated it can do a hole lot more than live action movies can.
What? You act like we've never seen 2003 Clone Wars. That shit felt like an apology letter to all Star Wars fans for the shit prequels. "Dear fans of this beloved franchise, We sincerely apologize for the sheer lack of proper storytelling and direction in the most recent trilogy. It was never our intention to make you, the audience, feel so betrayed. We hope that this new animated installment can, at the very least, numb the pain that we inflicted. We'll try our absolute hardest to work with the story we were given and give you the prequels that you deserve. Sincerely, LucasArts"
Where my love for Star Wars began. I remember my dad taking me to watch the film when it was in cinemas and I fell in love right there, as a 6 year old kid it was the best thing I’d seen in my life. The movie has aged badly granted but it walked so the series could run, it’ll always have a place in my heart for making me love Star Wars. While Return of the Jedi will forever be my all time favourite film both in Star Wars and in general, the Clone Wars is my favourite media of all time and the greatest saga in Star Wars (in my humble opinion).
I've been drilling through the ok 1st season. And now at last, I'm on the good shit.Im up to season 2 now and you can see the huge improvement in animation. I know I could have just started on season 2, but it doesn't feel right. You have to watch it from the start.
This show taught me that one of the most egregious flaws with the prequels is Anakin. And I always felt bad for Hayden Christensen because that's just how he was directed. But yeah, this show shows how cool Anakin really was.

My favorite fun fact about the making of the show is that the creators had to find a way to avoid Grievous and Anakin from meeting for 6 seasons because of an off-hand line in Revenge of the Sith that suggested that the two had never met until then.
They did fight for about a minute in their starfighters in season 1. But that's the best we could get.

While in the show you can actually feel and see some of the decisions that make him lean closer to the dark side. How much in-fighting he had with the Jedi. How his rage can sometimes take over rather than in the movies its played off as just inexperience and naivety.
Uhhh it did a lot of that in the movies as well like killing all the sand people.... Like fucking all of them also he killed count dooku he went against the Jedi rules and dated and married padme he wanted more power he was selfish he wanted to save padme from death sooo yea
One thing I loved about Clone Wars is that it made the Clones, these faceless soldiers that are nothing but a plot device in the movies, actual people.
Zombie Trex2021 Umbara arch is such a good example of this and hits me every time watching it
The Kellogg's chicken I always though the episode “ Rookies” was a good example, along with the umbara arc and ambush
And then explained how these fleshed out people could possibly follow Order 66 after all that growth and bonding!
Thank u. The most impressing part of clone wars is how they made the clones characters instead of flesh beings with chips in their heads. Umbara is my favorite arc.
After watching clone wars i expected rebels to show that stormtrooper are humans to but no
"The heros are assh*les"

Me: that's the spirit !
Yeah Mace Windu is a complete asshole but my God Samuel L Jackson was perfect for the role.

I love the clone wars but this guy is uncultured. He doesn’t appreciate the excellent arcs in season 1 (not saying it’s the best season but that doesn’t make it bad when all the other season set such a rediculously high standard). Also the prequels were not bad, there were certainly flaws in those movies especially 2 and kinda 1 but episode 3 was amazing and in the context of Star Wars the characters actions even Anakin make sense even now that we have the Clone Wars. Again I am not saying there are no issues with the movies but I found them generally great movies.
It’s a byproduct of such high standards that everything else by comparison looks meager.
Joshua Galpin Episode 1 and 2 are dogshit, your bias blinds you to the truth, Revenge of the Sith Being good does not change that
I honestly feel this show makes the movies better like Order 66 is more impactful after spending more time with guys like Plo Koon and Ki Adi Mundi and Aayla Secure.
EXACTLY! There were others also featured like Kit-Fisto and Saessee Tinn who had brief cameos in the film have centric roles in the clone wars. Hell fun fact here, Admiral Yularen is actually one of the lead imperial officers in ANH, he is the guy in the white suit during the conference scene. It sucks he turned into an imperial douchebag when he was such a nice guy in TCW
ExodusHunter15 you also see a yung tarkin

“This show was made by people who really don’t like the prequel trilogy” Dave Filoni goes on record to talk about the greatness of the prequels
Seriously though, in my opinion the major issue with the prequels wasn’t the storyline or the acting. It was the appalling dialogue that sort of made the scenes awkward. Many people blame Hayden Christensen for acting badly and too awkwardly but I think that he did his best with the script he was given. Besides, Anakin is supposed to be awkward especially in Attack of the Clones. In Revenge if the Sith, I believe that he was meant to be more conflicted so his whining sort of makes sense, however looking back at Clone Wars Anakin, there’s no competition between who is the best. They’re two different interpretations of him.
@@katleon312 yeah I blame the acting too, even Samuel L Jackson couldn’t make his lines work.
@@KangarooMonkey yee that’s what I mean. With the script that the actors were given they couldn’t make it work. But it’s not like the entire script is bad at least they made the ending good.
I like them and I hate how he constantly bashes it
@@KangarooMonkey Direction. Not acting. If it was down to acting, Samuel L Jackson could make the lines work. Actors have to put a LOT of faith in the direction, and feedback they get. The actors were doing the best they could with bad dialogue, and utterly shit direction.
It should be a legal requirement that you have to watch Clone Wars before Revenge of the Sith.
should start a petition for this
It just doesn’t feel right to see Anakin as so different and the script being weird but apparently the movie gets better with time and it’s not the worst.
At least up until you see Anakin leave for the Battle of Coruscant. Then watch the last episode after the movie.
@@Rocksteady72a Also don't include the Fives inhibitor chip arc. Or include it if you want more suspense.
Clone wars puts revenge of the sith into a more heartbreaking context
It heightens the movie to me.
Exactly! I just watched the episode with 5's and order 66 and my god I so wanted 5's to succeed and for that conspiracy to be revealed but it was even more heartbreaking that he doesn't 🥺 I've almost finished clone wars and it is gonna be even more heartbreaking watching order 66 happen knowing it was so close to be stopped...

@@domharvey8513 I would say give it a watch after seasons 2 and 3 just to get a feel just watch it before you see s4

“George Lucas did not make this tv show” he literally came up with the idea to make the show to properly explain the prequels better and would oversee production for nearly every episode up till season 7

@@aguywhocreatesmusic5215 I think he meant had anything to do with the show, if he specifically meant write then he probably would’ve said it.
@@KangarooMonkey I think Marcus knew that George was involved, but he said that because he knew that he wasn't a big part of it, I mean, "created by George Lucas" is at the end of every episode, I don't think he thought that George had no involvement in TCW

Lucas was the ideas guy, not really the only writer for the entire story like the prequels

Was cool
And it was INCREDIBLE.

The Clone Wars show is for kids. Executions by firing squad and beheading, suicide, people being tortured to death, executing a bunch of innocent people, more beheading, filibusters, government corruption and embargoes, war profiteering, and brainworm parasites. Things kids would totally understand and enjoy.
Conrad Monlezun You took that straight from another video
Of course i did. It proves a good point.
Conrad Monlezun can't forget the drug cartels and human trafficking, perfectly child friendly
Also, an episode with a child being forced into marriage, with sexual undertones. No, I'm not kidding.
That's from the video mate

It's like nails on a chalkboard

Thing bout get intense when Obi-Wan hair droops down.
You know he’s up for a challenge when that happens
This show also makes "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" have actual weight and pain to it. Watching Anakin evolve, how the war shaped him and his views, showing why Anakin and Padme work so well together, etc better explains his actions in the movie. Everything from how heartbreaking it is to watch Obi Won and Anakin fight to even the more mundane things, like why Anakin would be ticked about being denied the title of Jedi Master--since he's one of the most successful generals in the war. It's all there and even though the dialogue and vicariously the acting is still painful, your personal, emotional investment now exists thanks to this show. I can fucking go on and on about how much I love this show. Yeah, watch this show. Fall in love with the real Anakin Skywalker.
Watching Order 66 after Clone Wars legitimately fucked me up
@@fakeblue8985 this is an understatement
IchSagNurSchelle Especially knowing that Commander Cody was involved and didn’t get his chip out in time fucking felt like getting your organs ripped out slowly while your eyes are getting punctured and you’re still conscious.
personally i still do not like revenge of the sith. note anakin was somewhat justified in killing dooku since he couldn't be taken prisoner in a million years based on their situation, less justified in killing those sand people but they did kill his mother (note it explains his reasoning doesn't justify his actions in killing the sand people), however killing children and innocents, trusting a sith is better than the jedi (even though the jedi are fairly flawed it is like saying i hate the hypocrisy of the U.S and join nazi germany), and putting so much faith in an unclear vision that you indirectly cause it. And did this guy really think padme would never find out much less forgive him for the countless people he's killed. Also under the emporer he condones and in fact bolsters with brute force the slavery of multiple species including wookeis (given he's given in at this point the transistion just doesn't work). The primary issue is anakin's process in thinking the darkside could possibly save padme. And why the hell did anakin even remoltey 100% trust sidious? Like WHY? He could've left the jedi order just as ashoka did.
@@ravimanne8148 I agree. Most of the movie is bonkers in the leaps of logic and the complete lack of any angle that would make sense in motivations. I only meant that Star Wars Clone Wars creates Anakin as a fully fleshed-out person with both good and bad parts. In the series, he makes a lot of choices that the Jedi frown on, but normal people would consider commendable, like not giving up on Ashoka when it was believed she died or risking his life with his men, valuing every single clone's life, and feeling real emotion and empathy when any of his men died. (Which considering how much he valued life and wouldn't give up until every option was exhausted to save people, what he did in episode 3 is even more WTF?) The SWCW series allows the viewer at least some type of real emotional connection and regret when Anakin falls to the dark side. That's all.

@@sulturwood3226 to be fair, thrawn is one of the single greatest characters of the entire old expanded universe, and not including him or doing him justice would be handing the fans another reason to flay disney alive for their treatment of star wars.

One of the best things about the Clone Wars is how it improves the world of the sequels. In the movies, the world of the Republic and Coruscant feels like an empty set piece. The Clone Wars really fleshes it out. You get to actually understand the culture and the politics and what's going on in this society. You learn how things work. It makes the world feel more alive.

i think the clone wars showed more of a reason as to why Anakin would join the dark side all of sudden in episode 3
Same, it honestly makes it better to me, he just slowly becomes less trusting of the Jedi, being willing to further further with boundaries, and doing darker things. Obviously, there’s still a gap between end of the show and episode 3, but still, it’s jice
@@sneakysquid9917 certain stories in the clone wars really highlight how the jedi council didn't trust anakin or helped him deal with loss
like the council not trusting him with obi wan faking his own death and just leaving him to deal with it
or how the council instantly turned on ahsoka when they thought she was behind the bombing at the temple causing her to leave the jedi order
if you watch the clone wars you realize that when anakin started having vision of padame dying like he had with his mother you just see a desperate man who can't take losing anybody else and palpatine used and exploited that
metalsonic91 if you watch him in later seasons, his temper is a lot shorter and he kills more people lol
@@GDubbJr Exactly and they give reason for it. All the things that happened further alienated Anakin from the council. metalsonic said pretty much the bulk of it. I mean that's far more interesting than him just being evil. The prequels alone without Clone Wars just make Anakin seem like he was destined to be evil. It was obvious from the start that he would turn, even without watching the OT.
It absolutely did. It shows how the council betrayed his apprentice, how he grew jealous of the guy hitting on Padme, his hatred towards the slave traders, his anger towards ventress interrogating and threatening her, it showed how the council didn’t trust anakin by keeping obi ones secrecy of being alive etc.The clone wars is a masterpiece to be quiet frank. I’m very glad its back and i hope Disney doesn’t force any nonsense to be added into the already finished seasons. Disney better leave Dave filoni alone and let him do his magic. Because he clearly knows exactly what hes doing and he actually understands and most importantly LOVES Star Wars.
Filoni LOVES the prequels bro, wtf r u saying. He was COSPLAYING in episode 2 and 3.
ikr
Yep, going as Plo Koon lol. Dave is like the biggest Plo Koon fan in the damn world.
Honestly the worst part of the prequels is knowing how good they could have been
That's my biggest issue with them! I mean Revenge of the Sith is a little overhated but damn they all could have been amazing if not better than the original trilogy if it weren't for the shitty writing! The CGI goes a little overboard sometimes too. They could have made the clone wars seens in Attack of the Clones in real time in rocky parts of the Sahara. It's all a big "what if."
Malcolm Mehaffey
I think that's the best critique I've ever heard about the prequels. I like them for what they are, (love episode 3) but they could have been so much more
seriously, I can only imagine how good they'd be had he co-directed with someone. That's when lucas really shines. He has a lot of fantastic ideas, but he needs someone to reign him in every now and then. When you let Lucas's imagination run wild, you get jar jar
you hit the nail on the head, after i've watched Clone Wars i see the potential the prequels had and you can kinda see what George Lucas wanted to do, the story he wanted to tell but the execution wasn't that great sadly
Let's be real the prequels could have been like 15 movies long
“Don’t watch JarJar episodes.....You deserve better than that...”
-Me Flirting
The Disappeared arc: I disagree
I honestly feel like the first episode, "Ambush" is really good for setting the tone of the series. I was hooked the moment where Yoda had the squad remove their helmets after they expressed they were all the same, so he could address each of them as individuals; you could see right there and then that they were treating the Clones as actual characters, rather than nameless troopers as the films did. Plus, Episode 5 of season one "Rookies" is good, since Echo and Fives get a lot of screen time throughout the series.
The Clone Wars was great because it solved the most major issue I had with the prequel trilogy. The time skip between the start of the First Battle of Geonosis and the middle/end of the Battle of Coruscant was extremely jarring. So much obviously happened between those two films. With the Clone Wars, we see what happened. And getting time to see why certain background characters were actually important was pretty cool.
I come back to watch this video every so often and I truly believe Marcus helped hundreds of thousands of people give Clone Wars a chance.
Same. There is too much unnecessary hatred for the clone wars.
“...is that it ends on a cliff hanger.”
NOT ANYMORE #CLONEWARSSAVED
Hell yeah!
AH, HEEEEELL YEAH!
HELL YA BROTHER
*HELL YES*
Just coming back here to celebrate it being saved!!!!
#CLONEWARSSAVED
Remember it isn't solely the designers to the first rebels making it, it's Disney influenced. It might be bad, which scares me.
RhyhornTV Perrault I'm cautiously excited
RhyhornTV Perrault ya but the script was already written before Disney bought sw so there's hope
I do remember that, but forgot. There is hope with that statement..
Jorrel Doe thank goodness
When u yelled DARTH FUCKING MAUL I laughed so hard and u put that epic star wars music when u introduced him was fucking amazing.
Darth maul best thing to ever happen to star wars
PyroPippinGaming yes, the character that does nothing at all is the best thing.
I was so blown away when I saw the Darth Maul episodes when they came out. I wanted to tell everyone how fucking amazing it was! The problem with that was that I was in Year 6 or Grade 6 or whatever the equivalent is and I would get punished for swearing. lol. But that shit just got better and better! MAUL FIGHTING THE FUCKING LORD OF THE SITH, HIS OLD MASTER, DARTH SIDIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST EPISODE, IN MY OPINION: THE LAWLESS.
But I must say that the Umbara arc is my all-time favourite arc.
Bro, I've binged this 7 times since I was 8 years old.
Same, I started watching his channel in 2017 and now I’m 14

Being a child when this show was around was lit
Yeah
Oh yeah. I was in Kindergarten when this show came out, and it was great having the show mature at the same time I did
Yes! I was in middle school and I remember watching this every Friday night followed by Ben 10 and then got up and watched it again Saturday morning!!
Same!
So true! I watched Clone Wars as a kid, before the movies. The Prequels were good for me, because I already liked all the characters.
I cried when I first saw the season 7 trailer. It brought back my childhood show, and probably one of the best shows on television.
#clonewarssave
I love it, but Disney better not ruin it or I will beat the crap out of those guys
@@General_Cheese6 I have a question though. How....HOW did they mess Star Wars so much when over there at Marvel they're doing a wonderful job?!
Mauls overall arc was some of my favourite Star Wars character stories in star wars
This is why Clone Wars is Much Better then Rebels...
Darth Vader I like both series, they are made by the same people so I don't get why people hate the rebels
The Joker because the first season of rebels was really boring
+Derek Hearne It did start to get interesting when Vader showed up.
and clone wars s1 wasn't??
While I do enjoy Rebels, I totally understand why people view it poorly compared to The Clone Wars. Even though it is made by the same people the story telling is completely different. Nearly every arc of TCW had a neatly written story that really seemed like it could have been a mini movie with an obvious beginning, middle, and end. Rebels on the other hand has more drawn out stories but still has good climaxes and endings. For some reason it just seems like the writers are forced or encouraged to fill episodes with not very important content and pepper in main story elements throughout which really puts a hurting on the pacing and a lot of people's enjoyment of the show.
The part about Clone Wars not being made by Lucas but people who really didn't like the prequels could not be further from truth. Lucas was constantly guiding the team, and the main guy behind the wheel was Dave Filoni, who talked very positively about the prequels in multiple interviews. He's a fan of all things Star Wars. From what I gathered, he just wants to make good stories within the universe he loves.
Oh, and bringing back Darth Maul was Lucas' idea.
Oh god... Thank you! I was about to write the same thing... so thanks again, for saving me the time.
And btw... this video sucks.
We can't say "this vidéo sucks " but Lucas create a excellent universe , and now kids like this love clone wars or rebels and don't care about the extended universe . They think clone wars is EU , plz just ashoka ... rey version v1.00 , and really annoying
And my friend , remenber rogue one without Kyle Katarn ... SW is really dead for me , and this extended universe deleted by disney ...
I George Lucas is given no credit in writing any of the episodes (which is obvious enough). Only Filoni and his team.
Also, by "guidance" I think you mean they ran it by during production him to make sure it was okay with him.
It was actually Lucas that killed the EU. Disney is actually doing a good job of pulling A LOT of stuff in from the EU. Which might work out well. The EU wasn't exactly coherent. For every good story there was something else incoherent, contradictory, or flat out bad because they weren't a team of writers working together, and anyone could write something for the EU.
when the show gets darker it becomes so, so good
Markasaurus Rex The battle of umbara was so epic but dark
Bard and we really got to see more of Rex
I watched Clone Wars for the first two seasons but stopped there because it was so childish. I've heard that later seasons get more dark, could you let me in which season the series get dark?
i would say season 4 it has the umbara story line in it
I would say around Season 3. That's when the show's animation quality went uphill, as well as the story. But if you really want the darkest moments, Season 4 is where it all begins.
I grew up with this show. The fact that it actually showed on screen death, brutal ones even and was a kids show enthralled me. That and the fact it's also a war setting which is something I've always liked in fiction. I remember playing the game clone wars adventures as a kid too and having so much fun, too bad it's shut down but does anyone else remember it?
Yes. I've always switched the cn channel when this show was on. I didn't like it... I'm watching it now 10 years later. I still don't like it. Mess, boring, fights, unorganized, random stuff. But sometimes I like it when it is interesting
Agree with your hate of the prequels, I do not
Meditate on this I will
Yoda well?
Or masturbate. Or both.
Baby Yoda? Is that you?
@@FighterFlash no it's Boomer yoda
@@Mr.Tw1sty More like Gen z yoda. For Boomers the last star wars film aired 1983
Even Jar Jar works in this show, turns out he's not so visually offensive when everyone else is CGI too
"Obi-Wan going to kill Grevious. That wasn't fun. That was really really dumb."
*INHALE*
no
Sobok Gaming those who hate the prequels would never give it any credit whatsoever
Actually - thanks to The Clone Wars the movie part actually stopped to suck due to history Grevious vs Obi Wan have now.
@@Megadog33 General Kenobi
The fight last like 3 seconds and Grievous feels like a filler villain in the movies. Cause that's why he is. They just wanted to have a reason for Obi Wan to be off Coruscant so that he can't protect Anakin from the dark side.
@@ether2275 i mean i don't really see a point in watching the prequal movies unless you want a extremely bare bones summary of what happened. Both animated series show more of what happened and are a better quality
As someone who loves thw prequals, and extremly adores this show i see how they connect
Who else watched every single Clone Wars episode in all 6 seasons?
I did
Sigh.... twice
You have to watch it all in my opinion
Charles Jeffery Watched all seasons three times and about to rewatch for the fourth time, I guess you could say I like this show
me
My favorite line is when Obi-Wan says “Anakin, control your insolence, the count is concentrating.”😂
I love that line
What episode was that again?
“At least you’re a master... at getting caught” :P
Jacques Mashups it either episode 11 or 12 of season 1
Oh I didn’t really touch season 1
Today is the day to rejoice my brothers.
star wars the clone wars is coming back
I’ve got a good feeling about this 😆
Red X Sorry I live under a rock... Where are your sources?
RedVisor 137c A trailer was shown at comic con and it was confirmed by Dave Filoni. It’s like #3 on trending on UA-cam right now
Red X sorry... I didn't think it was that obvious. Personally, I just regard the trend category on UA-cam as shill content, broken algorithm output, and political propaganda.
I've been watching this show since I was like 7. I'm 13 now. I've grown an appreciation for it and re rewatched it. I used to watch it so much that I would lay there groaning because of my bad migraine but then be like "I'm not done with the story arc, so I'm not sleeping!" I was CRAZY for that show and still am.
“Give in to the clone wars.”

Too bad he trashes every part of the prequels with blind hate and literally zero reason like he actually didnt even watch the movies. TCW is the shit, but the prequels are awesome too.
@@nowelbobke1506 Agreed
Nowel Bobke blind hate? He just chose not to talk about them, I’d like to see you make a sort of “rant” video.
I kinda hate/like this guy since he has a bad opinion of REBELS and THE RETURN OF THE JEDI I actually enjoy return it really good for rebels I'm fine with it.

President Donald Trump announces return of Clone Wars
"This show was made by people who really disliked the Prequel Trilogy."
Ah yes, Dave Filoni. Legendary prequel hater that in no way defended the movies.
I know lol. Cosmonaut needs to do more research.
@@HeyItsThatEl The prequels are lightyears better than the TV series. It's still enjoyable, though.
Filoni practically got the job because he liked the prequels (rather didn't hate the prequels). I don't know what Cosmonaut is talking about. Also, Lucas was heavily involved throughout.
@@fundhund62 probably the worst take I’ve ever heard in my life
@@fundhund62 u have got to be kidding me
Coming back to rewatch this is always so funny when Marcus just INTENSELY asserts that "this fixes what YOU hate about the prequels" and that the creators "hated the prequels", because of the fact that a large amount, perhaps even a majority, of clone wars fans are prequel fans and both Dave Filoni and Sam Witwer have spoken in detail about the things they love about the prequels. You can't really make an entire show about the mythos and lore surrounding the prequels if you hate them
Why no mention of the best side character ever... my man Hondo Ohnaka must be appreciated
we're pirates we dont even know what that means
“It’s like my mother used to always say, son, if one hostage is good, two are better. And three? Well that’s just good business heh-heh”

TCW was an awesome TV show. But many dismiss it because it is animated.
I think most people mismiss it because its rated as a "kid show" even know later seasons have some of the darkest scenes in star wars.
With it being animated it can do a hole lot more than live action movies can.
Sigh its true... most assume cartoons and anime are baby shows.
Edwin Drake yeah. the episodes with Fives and order 66. dark shit
What? You act like we've never seen 2003 Clone Wars. That shit felt like an apology letter to all Star Wars fans for the shit prequels.
"Dear fans of this beloved franchise,
We sincerely apologize for the sheer lack of proper storytelling and direction in the most recent trilogy. It was never our intention to make you, the audience, feel so betrayed. We hope that this new animated installment can, at the very least, numb the pain that we inflicted. We'll try our absolute hardest to work with the story we were given and give you the prequels that you deserve.
Sincerely,
LucasArts"
Mathis Salicath Very true 😭
Says it's in Netflix
Me: it was removed like 10 days ago
this video was posted in 2016 lol. and of course disney wants to make every cent they can so they'll put it on their own streaming service or w/e.
Samuel R there were 6 seasons
Professor Branch , yes, we’re all depressed
Download or watch clone wars in grabthebeasttv seasons there are complete
This video came out back in 2016 after Rouge One came out in theaters.
Where my love for Star Wars began. I remember my dad taking me to watch the film when it was in cinemas and I fell in love right there, as a 6 year old kid it was the best thing I’d seen in my life. The movie has aged badly granted but it walked so the series could run, it’ll always have a place in my heart for making me love Star Wars. While Return of the Jedi will forever be my all time favourite film both in Star Wars and in general, the Clone Wars is my favourite media of all time and the greatest saga in Star Wars (in my humble opinion).
This show was my childhood man. I have always love this star wars masterpiece
same... I remember every Friday at 10p est that a new episode comes out... so much nostalgia... DAMN YOU DISNEY!!!!!
David Cole coming home from school being excited as hell as a kid

I FINISHED IT TODAY, I HAD TO SIT IN MY ROOM FOR 20 MINUTES JUST TO THINK. WATCH IT
Yeah. I finished it like 30 minutes ago. You made a good choice good sir
I've been drilling through the ok 1st season. And now at last, I'm on the good shit.Im up to season 2 now and you can see the huge improvement in animation. I know I could have just started on season 2, but it doesn't feel right. You have to watch it from the start.
@@glendarjj3991 agreed, ypu gotta do it all. But you are doing it chronologically right?
This show taught me that one of the most egregious flaws with the prequels is Anakin. And I always felt bad for Hayden Christensen because that's just how he was directed. But yeah, this show shows how cool Anakin really was.
@Papa Bless yes
The Prequels don't suck. Revenge of the Sith is my favorite movie in the saga. The Clone Wars is fantastic
it's more of a "least bad in the prequels"
