Something I just noticed: Whenever the situation was calm, Krell would refer to Rex by his CT number. But at 4:32, when they were under fire, he called him by his name. This means that Krell calling Rex by his CT number wasn’t just him not caring enough about clones to use their names, but him actively CHOOSING to be a dick.
It’s not the duress, but that fact that Rex had previously gained some of Krell’s respect. He doesn’t see them as people or individuals, so he refers to them by serial number. When Rex establishes himself as a “true captain” in Krell’s eyes, he permits him some recognition of self.
@@clearshade3560 Well, Sidious always made sure to keep those below him under his thumb, by keeping them weaker than himself. I’m sure he would do the same to Krell and wouldn’t fear him rising up against him.
The umbaran arc made me wonder what Anakin thought of this outrage cause literally after losing a big number of his troops i would definitely execute krell afterwards
Pong Krell's lightsaber sounds deeper and more menacing than the normal lightsaber sound effects and I love it. Especially when he does that roll at 11:48.
@@krxwnvxk7695no thats just his unique lightsabers sounds not ever but some force wielders have unique sounds due to having a unique kyber krystal like anakin and yodas saber. You can even hear the difference when he ignites it at 3:18 no swinging involved.
Yeah we first he was going to be a good Jedi but now he's the worst Jedi like all of the Jedis we watch and we see we love them but this one is a NO...
11:40 to this day i have NO clue why this one clone decided to do a suicide run at Krell. Seriously, watch the full scene, he LITERALLY runs at Krell by himself. That part ALWAYS confuses me
Pong Krell: Everyone's most- hated d-bag Jedi who treats his clones like cannon fodder and a traitor to the Jedi Order. Lee Everett: Everyone's favourite loyal zombocalpyse protector with a heart of gold.
Krell may be the biggest prick in all of Star Wars but holy heck is he cool-kinda wish we got more of him. He’s just so….LARGE and he sounds so menacing! I kind of wish umbara played out differently so that he wasn’t a traitor-just a huge jerk. Almost like the embodiment of everything wrong with the jedi order.
I'm fine with him being a prick but I wish we got to see his good side, like maybe things and people he cares about. That would make him more sympathetic. Tho I'm not sure if that would be even necessary. His crimes may be unforgivable but he has his reasons. At least him being a total prick makes his death more satisfying. He's an amazing villain in my opinion.
@@m97polska yeah, for example they could have made it so that he foresaw the 501st leading Operation Knightfall and destroying the Jedi, but went too far with his desperation, leading him to the darkside
My least favorite part about this story arc was how they basically swept it under the rug and didn’t mention it or show how anyone dealt with the aftermath.
It would've been cool if they had introduced him before this arc. Establish him as a jerk who sacrifices clones to get results, but also brilliant in his own way for being able to see through enemy plots. Then, when he turns out to be a traitor, it's actually a surprise.
I think they should have had him lead the droid army instead of Grievous, and had General Grievous be a one-off... With those arms and the Force, he could have done some real damage to the Jedi...
@@jayo1212as a Diehard general Grievous fan I this suggestion is one I cannot abide! TCW just shouldn't have nerfed him so bad. Pong Krell is memorable because he was on the republics side first anyhow.
Ok I get that Krell was a dick to all the clones and committed a horrible act of betrayal, but he is just SO sick. Not only does he have 2 double bladed lightsabers with 4 arms, but they’re also thicker sabers than any other Jedi. You just can’t deny how cool his weapons and fighting style is
I know a lot of people hate this guy, but can't help but like him. I know the writers want me to hate him and I just think he's so hilariously evil and mean for no reason. He also has a very cool character design
Anyone take time to listen to just how different his sabers sound? They sound alot deeper and slower. Makes them come off as powerful and intimidating to me.
I honestly believe that Palpatine put all this in motion just to see if the clones were capable of killing jedi... like a test. Krell imo seemed like a strong but reckless general/jedi. I bet he approached Palpatine and offered his services for the sith as long as he was spared fir order 66. I believe that's where his hatred of clones came from and why he was used as a sort of test to see the abilities of the clones because clones although loyal will fight for whats right even if that means fighting rogue jedi.
@@derrickdaniels3955 LOL, right?? I mean we've seen him do this to Maul to take out Qui Gon and Dooku to test Anakins strength. And If I remember correctly I believe he says something about his "new master" as well.
Pong Krell does imply that he will be Dooku's new apprentice. To my knowledge, it's never implied that Krell knew about Sideous. If Krell knew about Sideous, he would have probably attempted to replace Dooku, or at least think he could. Pong would be acting out of fear, and/or ignorance, because he would have to know that the Sith only operate in pairs, and that he would have to replace Dooku, or be disposable like Ventress.
@@right_hand_power7960 I remember in this episode he said something along the lines that his new master would train him and spare him and that he essentially saw the fall of the Jedi as well as other things. So it makes me believe that he also saw Palpatine as emperor, Dookus fall and Anakins betrayel and "Death" and approached him. Palps had to keep his existences private so I could see him killing two birds w/ one stone by basically sending Krell to his Doom while also testing the clones capabilities. Edit: Also I don't think he'd refer to Dooku as his "new master" but instead just say Dooku's name since everybody already knows him. Krell was still trying to remain secretive w/ that bit of information so it gives me the impression that he knew more than he was letting on
My only complant about this video, is the way dialogue is cut off for other characters. I know this is Pong Krell's scenes, but I think its important to show the rest of the conversations, just for the full context
Yeah, it would've shown that some Jedi and Clones just naturally didn't get along even though they're on the same side, and that it wasn't black and white like they get along because they're the good guys or hate each other because one of them is a traitor. It would've gave some reasoning why a lot of Clones obeyed Order 66 without hesitation because they didn't have a strong relationship with their Jedi like Rex, Cody, or Bly did.
Would’ve been cool to see Krell become another villain for the series, he’s got a cool combat style, and it would’ve been cool to see more of his fascination with Dooku and his attempts to become his apprentice.
I completely agree with you, the character is extremely interesting and it’s a pity that most likely no one else will remember him and he will remain just a minor villain who knew about the fall of the republic.
@@billybaggins1443 well I do he is a Jedi knight and old one at that he is not even impressive if a Jedi knight is that old means that he is a horrible one since obi wan is 20 years younger than him but he is a Jedi master and on the council.

True, but i feel like either would wipe the floor with him. He's a bully that gets off on being stronger and higher up than others around him. Someone like savage wouldn't be intimidated, and the game krell plays is basically the one that grievous mastered. Additionally, he is a very old jedi knight, and considering most are a master by his age, and that grievous has defeated several knights at once and regularly contested masters, occasionally besting them, he's fucked.
"I'm afraid I can't waste any clones on frivolous adventures" 7:39 What about those times when you were willing to waste the entirety of the 501st on stupid forward assaults straight into the most heavily fortified umbaran positions?
Reminder that order 66 was one of the many orders that were indeed disclosed knowledge known by the Jedi order. (not that they knew about the inhibitor chips that would force this order to be carried out). Pong Krell is a good example of why that order exists.
legit thought the clones were giving him the silent treatment 2min in because he was behaving like a hard***. Forgot it’s just cuts to the character specifically 😆.
That's a bit unfair. Krell is meant to be unlikable so the writers and the actor did their job perfectly, Holdo on the other hand is meant to come off as a good leader but they failed spectacularly at that.
The Holdo subplot of The Last Jedi was just for feminism. Have one of the male characters (Poe) jump to assumptions, start a coup against Holdo, and get stopped by another woman, Leia, who specifically was injured, and recuperating. Then, Holdo looks down at Poe, who is unconscious, rubs his left face cheek, smiles, and says, 'I like him." If the goal was to show Poe being reckless, and not listening to female superiority, Disney made sure to hammer that home, with Leia slapping Poe earlier in the film, and Poe man-splaining in front of a bunch of women. The problem is, the audience is not given reason to believe Poe was being brash. Holdo didn't reveal she had a backup plan, and there was no reason to keep it secret. Holdo keeping it a secret would have made sense, if the film had shown her discreetly to Leia, for example, expressing her fears that there are spies among them. This would at least make sense. In addition, if there were spies on-board, and the film showed that, it would solidify even more, the idea of keeping the backup plan a secret.
The author missed the moment when the killed leader of another clone army said: “It was General Krell. He said there would be droids in the clone uniform. But it was you.”
Dope how u can see the dark side start to form in krell when u get a close up of his eyes. He literally went insane and betrayed everything he once believed in for the dark side. And sacrificed whole squadrons in the process. Pong Krell.
Pong Krell is the combination of Darth Maul and General Grievous, also pretending to be good so people view him as a hero when his dangerous tactics prove he's actually an asshole.
He is one of the commanders of the entire invasion operation on Umbara, his rank and knowledge are too great to fall into the hands of possible traitorous clones, so it was self-defense, he fought off potential traitors.
I like how he states that "some clones are defectove" that is dope foreshadowing. Though Krell is an idiot he is observant. Even though he never once questioned how he was treating the clones had something to do with it. He didnt think they were human enough to make their own decisions and have their own thoughts. And then how Krell says "its treason then" like how Palpatine will later say the exact same thing to the Jedi. Only difference is Krell fails and Palpatine doesnt. Krell was a jerk but he aslo was literally the only one besides Yoda who sensed Order 66, i know thats due to him being enticed by the dark side but he caught onto things others didnt even though he couldnt catch on to the trap set right under his nose. He was having too much fun killing clones that he was blinded and lured into his own demise. He couldve made it out had he stopped and turned to escape rather than chase the rest down. Then tellling the clones ALL of his plans he was not the brightest
He definitely deserves a full story about himself, with his unique worldview and unique fighting technique. Moreover, he is also smarter than 99% of the Jedi, since he used strategy, and not, like everyone else, attacked the enemy with sticks.
I watched this episode by episode as a kid and I think the scene at 3:18 as actually a really great scene. It was really satisfying getting some validation from a guy who up until that point treated everyone below him as disposable. Even the clones we had grown to love and care about. While also making me almost like him, making me think he wasnt a total asshole. These scenes were important to keep the audience on their toes and keep them guessing as to just whether Krell is a hero or a villian. This kind of attention to detail is what makes good writing good.
It’s just that this moment plays a role here. Krell the strategist, the clones, in fact, sent to the vanguard, in the territory where the enemy clearly dominates, surrendered their vanguard positions and gave away the location of the main forces, forcing Krell to throw soldiers into battle on the march, Krell still did not take note of Rex’s words, he didn’t care at him and his words, he tried to complete the task, knowing that the operation had long been predetermined by defeat due to the fact that he had leaked all the data about the operation.
Pong Krell is basically the equivalent of a substitute filling in for your favorite teacher.
Interestingly, I remember the episode trailers on Cartoon Network described Krell as a substitute teacher.
A mean substitute
No. Substitutes are usually pleasant. LOL! 🤣
A very strict substitute.
@@user-nm1lx8qb3u Yours maybe. Not so much for others.
It's a shame we never get to see the other Jedi reacting to Krell's betrayal.
I agree
Me three I feel like i want to kill Krell
I feel like they'd be like, oh yeah, "that guy"
Agreed
They’d probably not believe it and try to cover it up

Pong Krell's lightsaber sounds deeper and more menacing than the normal lightsaber sound effects and I love it. Especially when he does that roll at 11:48.

Holdo keeping it a secret would have made sense, if the film had shown her discreetly to Leia, for example, expressing her fears that there are spies among them. This would at least make sense. In addition, if there were spies on-board, and the film showed that, it would solidify even more, the idea of keeping the backup plan a secret.
"CT-7567 are you reading me?"
Everyone: damn, we're in the biggest mess ever and we're fighting alongside with general Anakin Skywalker who brings us in many fine messes
I do like how they gave him yellow eyes to signify to us he’s gonna be bad news
Other than his voice cause that’s the voice of evil
The author missed the moment when the killed leader of another clone army said: “It was General Krell. He said there would be droids in the clone uniform. But it was you.”
If this was Vietnam, Krell would’ve been fragged. Either by the end of the 1st episode or the beginning of the 2nd.
The guy who voices krell is the voice of lee from the walking dead and Bluebeard from the wolf among us
Dope how u can see the dark side start to form in krell when u get a close up of his eyes. He literally went insane and betrayed everything he once believed in for the dark side. And sacrificed whole squadrons in the process. Pong Krell.
Pong Krell is the combination of Darth Maul and General Grievous, also pretending to be good so people view him as a hero when his dangerous tactics prove he's actually an asshole.
Krell’s last words
The right thing
Krell: You dare to attack a Jedi?!
*2 seconds ago: Krell used force push on the 501st and 212th clone troopers surrounding him so he attacked first.*
He is one of the commanders of the entire invasion operation on Umbara, his rank and knowledge are too great to fall into the hands of possible traitorous clones, so it was self-defense, he fought off potential traitors.
Happy 700 subscribers
Thanks my man!
@@JournaloftheWhills no problem, you’re growing so fast and for good reason to
4:47 boy Krell sure does love his full-forward assaults.
They get more clones killed so it’s the best way to win.
Yooo 🤣🤣🤣 He went off when he broke down their purpose in the invasion omg 💀
even though we all hate krell we gotta admit, his lightsabers make the best sound
You can see the dark side in his eyes
Best bit 15:33
I like how he states that "some clones are defectove" that is dope foreshadowing. Though Krell is an idiot he is observant. Even though he never once questioned how he was treating the clones had something to do with it. He didnt think they were human enough to make their own decisions and have their own thoughts. And then how Krell says "its treason then" like how Palpatine will later say the exact same thing to the Jedi. Only difference is Krell fails and Palpatine doesnt. Krell was a jerk but he aslo was literally the only one besides Yoda who sensed Order 66, i know thats due to him being enticed by the dark side but he caught onto things others didnt even though he couldnt catch on to the trap set right under his nose. He was having too much fun killing clones that he was blinded and lured into his own demise. He couldve made it out had he stopped and turned to escape rather than chase the rest down. Then tellling the clones ALL of his plans he was not the brightest
Nice video dude
Thanks bud!
@@JournaloftheWhills you're welcome
Love your videos. Can you do one for poor Dogma?
All crosshair scenes
That would be good
He definitely deserves a tales of the Jedi episode how did he fall to the dark side?
He definitely deserves a full story about himself, with his unique worldview and unique fighting technique. Moreover, he is also smarter than 99% of the Jedi, since he used strategy, and not, like everyone else, attacked the enemy with sticks.
His voice is deeper than I thought it would be.
Me when I see Krell for the first time 😎 Me when I see what kind of Jedi he is 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
I watched this episode by episode as a kid and I think the scene at 3:18 as actually a really great scene.
It was really satisfying getting some validation from a guy who up until that point treated everyone below him as disposable. Even the clones we had grown to love and care about. While also making me almost like him, making me think he wasnt a total asshole.
These scenes were important to keep the audience on their toes and keep them guessing as to just whether Krell is a hero or a villian.
This kind of attention to detail is what makes good writing good.
It’s just that this moment plays a role here.
Krell the strategist, the clones, in fact, sent to the vanguard, in the territory where the enemy clearly dominates, surrendered their vanguard positions and gave away the location of the main forces, forcing Krell to throw soldiers into battle on the march, Krell still did not take note of Rex’s words, he didn’t care at him and his words, he tried to complete the task, knowing that the operation had long been predetermined by defeat due to the fact that he had leaked all the data about the operation.
Not only was general krell a giant rooster, he was also the world’s worst substitute teacher.
Pong Krell wouldve been a perfect inquisitor
This guy was more ruthless than the entirety of the first order
This evil jedi gave me Wraith King vibes
He has sith eyes
Subtle foreshadow
mans driven to dark side from the beginning, those yellow eyes
Knock Knock Who's there Pong Krell Pong Krell who Pong Krell disguised himself as the enemy and prank called all of the clone troopers
12:20 "Mine is an evil laugh!"
The original LTG.
14:11 Pong Krell just foreshadowed revenge of the sith.
My favorite krell scene is whenever he is not featured on screen.
10:35 love that seen
All mon mothma scenes
Subtle detail at 4:03: Krell just kicks the corpse of a clone out of the way just to get better cover
This guy is basically Goro from Mortal kombat if he was a Jedi
He seems fond of the word "immediately."
Довольно забавно, что, по сути, Понг Крелл оказался прав. Республика и джедаи были обречены. Печально, что столь много джедаев этого не понимало.
pong krell is the kind of thing order 66 was "publically" supposed to be used for XD
Definitely a badass Jedi. By far the coolest fighter.
In Tales of The Jedi Seasons 2-Seasons 3
11:23
Why does this guy just Remind me of the Jedi Brutes you killed as Anakin in the Episode 3 Video Game?
And nothing of value was lost when he died.
I disagree...
That blaster bolt could've been used for a more dignified warrior.
The one time Order 66 was completely justified
