If you guys didnt get it. When the Jedi is saying ```Brick, you did a good job. These are the best clones i have seen``. Its not meant as a compliment, she is kinda roasting him because she knows that he hates Domino Squad. Its kinda a ``gotcha`` moment.
Dang I never thought of it like that, that makes much more sense
@@ok3708 thats the purest form of sarcasm and i always get people mad bc of it xD
"Isn't she Ahsoka's aunt?"
Oh, what, so ALL togruta must be related?! Do they all look alike to you?!
Lol, sorry, the joke was just right there.
The Jedi had no choice but to use the Clone Army to fight the Separatists. There’s no other army available to fight a military on the scale of the Separatist’s droid armies. So it was either accept the use of the Clones, or be overwhelmed.
The show will get into how uncomfortable some Jedi are at being military commanders over Clones instead of peacekeepers/mediators.
I think cloning isn't unethical per se. But the clones are more or less a slave army, so that's unethical, of course.
Slavery is forbidden in the republic, but as Dexter Jettser said in Episode II, Kamino isn't part of the republic. So that's the loophole.
This was the strongest point about the show, before this the clones and order 66 as seen in Revenge of the Sith was a shock/twist. Now with the added character development and humanization of the clones and seeing how they were really just like everbody else adds a more tragic and sad tone to the events of the prequels.
Shaak Ti was making the point that Bric’s tampering was what actually ended up pushing the Clones to perform their unorthodox victory. It was intended as a bit of a dig at him considering he was so set on seeing them fail.
The introduction to 99 and echo! These clones steal all our hearts
Don't forget Fives
Also I completely glossed over the fact they talked about the bad batch this early.
I'm pretty sure master chief is an actual military ranking
It is
It is. Its also a surprisingly low rank compared to how it sounds
It's the highest enlisted rank in the navy. Not exactly low. @@skarletfenrir6979
Yes, it's a naval rank and it's short for Master Chief Petty Officer. It's the highest rank achievable by non-commissioned officers in the navy. At least in the US, idk how other nation's ranking systems are structured.
A thing to note in this is that their individuality is what caused their problems in the first place their personalities were grating against each other and its only when they become a team does their individuality become a source of their strength. If they could not work together fighting in a war would just be a liability and get good people killed.
Fives is one of the best Clone Wars characters. Can’t wait for you to know him and the rest of Domino Squad better!
The Jedi woman was basically teasing him, basically saying that he failed in sabotaging them and instead just showed that they were better than he was saying.
The reason why they cant see through palpatines disquise is that he is a sith lord and the sith lords of the last few thousand years have mastered becoming ghosts and shadows unnoticed in the force and while the jedi might not fully trust him all his actions are consistent with his perceived goal of protecting the republic.
the thing with brick its like in the real life military they do that to push them mentally and pshysicaly so that they will handle stress and to be able to handle difficult situations you cannot be too nice when youre training men to go out to war. and also he do that so that they are ready to go out to war. its not about being to nice or to hard he is just doing what he was paid to do, to make them ready for battle
The clones aging is accelerated but in 99’s case his was accelerated more due to an error in his incubation so he is similar age but physically older
Can wait for you guys to watch “Rookies” and “ARC Trooper” they’re some of my favorite episodes
The Clones are the backbone of this show.
Boba Fett, Cody, Crosshair, Echo, Fives, Gregor, Hawkeye, Hunter, Longshot, Omega, Rex, Rys, Wrecker & 99
Almost perfect tactic game about clones - Republic Commando
Really enjoying the in depth discussions 👌😁 For me, the clones themselves individually and the morals, ethics and politics of their creation and use was always one of my favourite and the most interesting parts of clone wars. Shak Ti, the Jedi general is the same species as Ahsoka, Togruta, pretty sure they're not related, that we know of. The comment she made to Brick, about his actions bringing out the best in the squad ; I think she meant it in a smart kind of sarcastic way, that despite the fact he tried to sabotage them, they still performed so well that she refers to them as maybe the finest squad of soldiers she's ever seen. Also have to agree with Meg, Brick is an asshole 😂 99 is the most precious clone 🥺
I totally agree, after rewatching, that she was being sassy 🤣
Dee bradley baker did an incredible job voicing every single clone. The best of his work in the show is yet to come! I can't wait for the rest of this arc, it's easily one of my favourites from the earlier seasons :)
what a day to see the beginning of Echo’s story ❤️💙
"Even this bad batcher 99..."
"We're nothing but a bad batch."
I wonder where they got the name of the show The Bad Batch from...lol.
It’s not exactly the way Caleb described but if you want a good clone game, republic commando is still beloved and holds up pretty well! Also I love that Brick is the hill Caleb decides to die on when it comes to arguing with Meg lmaoo
I think Bric just wanted to protect the other clones he has trained before, because undisciplined soldiers can be in fact a danger for their comrades on the battlefield.
Best combo would be as much discipline as necessary and as much indivual strengths as possible.
Omg really?! I had forgot why his name was Echo! lol 😂
I fine it funny
I find it funny
@@huntersmith1943 Is there an echo in here?~~~
@@toriecarter2711 lol, it sent twice
Dee Bradley Baker voices all the clones🙂
3:11 99, the best of clones

The beginning of this show is really such a slow burn, but once you start catching up to TRoS it really starts to pick up pace, to the point your heart begins to hurt... im excited to watch along! Also Shaak Ti is not a blood relative of Ahsoka in any shape or form lol. (im commenting as I go lol, but clone production continued until the very last days of the war. The republic made the call to keep the clones and the need for soldiers only increased as the war progressed. It will all become really clear as you go!)
It should be said that Jedi had no say in using the clones( especially in the middle of a war ). Ultimately, it was the republic senate who determined in using the clones.This is established in Ep. 2 where Yoda and Windu are watching the senate vote emergency powers to Palpatine.
"Bad batcher, 99" - remember that
The Jedi and Senate are literally paying for the Clones, the Kaminoans are just following their job.
Jango's dead, so they need other Bounty Hunters to train the Clones. The Kaminoans have limited access now to Jango's DNA, so they have to stretch it for the Cloning process to work, so their efficiency is declining per each Clone made.
I think that Shaak Ti was congratulating Brick in a sarcastic/ironic undertone.
She knows how much he hates clones, particularly the Domino Squad, so them succeeding hurt his ego, she said it to aoply salt to the injury ;) (aka just day to day jedi sassyness)
As for the test "not being fair" well, she also made a point in "too bad, war isnt fair", and she was right, adversity makes for a better simulaation, and it also brought the best of the squad's talents, and besides, they already had multiple chances under the "fair circumstances" and they failed horribly, not because fairness was a factor, but because "Brothers in arms are brothers in life" and learninf that was all they needed to not just pass the test, but also overcome a more challenging version of it breaking records and showing they were actually some of the most talented cadets 🎉🎉
Also as for the videogame Caleb described, the 3 closest games that would fit the description would be (all of them are legends):
Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Classic): story mode follows the story of clones in the 501st according to Legends.
Star Wars Republic Commando: You're the leader of a special squad of clone commandos, it is a shooter in which you can give orders to your squad in combat and although it "isn't canon", members of the squad have some cameos in these animated shows so keep an eye for them 👀 (although their "character" isn't as important to the story)
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (it is Age of Enpires with Star Wars skin and the expansion pack is set during The Clone Wars)
yeah dee baker does great as all the clones in this series there's a reason they brought him back for battlefront 2 EA and jedi fallen order along with other Star Wars media that has the clones
While Shaak Ti and Ahsoka Tano are both Togrutans from the planet Shili, they are not related.
Great to see You and Caleb back with more of Clone Wars
have a great Thursday afternoon y'all take care.🐕🐕
I highly doubt if Domino Squad had failed due to Brick that she would've failed them. I think all she wanted was to see if and how they would go against adversity. Their passing was inevitable either way, in my opinion. Also, a little fun note, my platoon in Basic Training was 4th platoon (Delta- or Domino) and the color was green, so I identify with Domino Squad more than most :))
Season 3 of the clone wars was the first season I ever watched. This ep made me fall in love with the clone troopers so much that during elementary school my parents got called in because I kept running around the playground pretending to fight waves of battle droids.
Bradley Dee Baker voices all the clones; every single clone in STARWARS-Animation
Not quite, some of the young clone cadets are voiced by Daniel Logan.
@@Rocket1377 oh, yeah; I know I'm just saying
I think some of the bad batch voices are different and aren't Dee.
Yeah one of the things clone wars is about is fleshing out the troopers making them their own characters and not just carbon copies of Jango Fett. The Domino Squad is one example their flawed problematic and as starting off as a team they’re a disaster. But you root for them and seeing them work together and the relationships make you invested in them.
What a day to have an episode with 99 and Echo.
He needs to play Republic Commando
Hevy giving 99 his medal always gets me
May the force be with you
Brick is definitely an asshole. But I like Caleb's open-mindedness!
6:03 Sounds a bit like the Republic Commando Star Wars game.
Fives and echo are the best clones in the show besides rex Cody wolffe Jesse and the bad batch
Don't forget Gregor.
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
I am SO glad they’re going in chronological order, while I love the anthological nature of the show it makes it much harder to follow.
(I know it’s not Disney or Netflix’s fault, they list the episodes in their release order.)
Your pfp!?!?!?!? 💀
@@MegMageReacts “When you first saw the majesty of MisterTwister’s pfp, were you blinded? Paralyzed? Dumbstruck?”
10:24 Dee Bradley Baker is the GOAT and did voice all the clones. He is amazing at giving each one their own unique voice despite the fact they're all clones.
13:52 At the end of the episode, the reason why the music has that beautiful horn solo is a direct homage to the HBO TV series Band of Brothers which has a similar music theme.
Man, looking back at where Domino Squad started, it's... it brings so much emotions.
The show here isn't referencing Halo. "Master Chief" is an enlisted military rank in the real world, and carries over to military sci-fi (and semi-sci-fi) franchises like Halo, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Wars, etc.
Halo's "Master Chief" is simply being called by his rank, without his name.
Dee Bradley Baker, voice of the Clones, is also Halo's Gravemind
... amongst another several hundred characters in other shows and games 💁♂️
12:40 I am sorry but that was a funny edit lol. The look of bamboozlement. Can’t predict a Jedi kiddo. 😆
You have to understand that Palpatine is pushing the war on both sides in a way to force the jedi off balance and weaken them without their knowledge. Part of that is trying to force the jedi to make the jedi gradually make decisions more and more outside of the jedi code.
Brick has ever right to be annoyed. If you train a dozen squads in a year, and all succeed and graduate except one that refuses to listen, doesn't cooperate and repeatedly fails over and over again, risking each others lives over it... you'd be pessimistic about them too.
He was more than "annoyed" and "pessimistic", he was a bully and he sabotaged them, even if they ended up succeeding anyway.
Its his fault for lacking on their disciplinary training
@@mathies3598 Kamino already does that before the Clones do combat training.
Please keep uploading clone wars!!
One of my favourite episodes 🥲
It’s important to keep in mind that the war is long and bloody, if they didn’t keep making clones they wouldn’t have an army for long.
Also for all Bric is a jerk he does get results and that’s arguably more important during a war.
No Shaak Ti isn't Ahsoka's aunt they aren't related but they are the same species called Togruta.
the bounty hunter trainer, might be because jango was a bounty hunter.
Master chief is a military rank lol
The only downside of all this is how long its gonna take you to get through this series at the rate you release these XD, but I'm glad you are giving Clone Wars a shot and yes the Clones and how they flesh them out is one of the major selling points of the whole series in my opinion.
Now I need to see some fan art of a Brick Brain Vader helmet.
For Kaminoans the ethical questions of cloning are.....not exactly something they bother with.....this alien species practiced eugenics and they are SELLING clones as products! They supposedly also sold clones for labor force (possibly the mining in Subterrel and other places in the outer rim) and in the Attack of the Clones we learn that this clone army they considered 'the finest we've created' so they did make clone soldiers long before. Kaminoans are interesting species, :). Also...a game with squad of clone trooped.....well maybe not exactly strategy one...but tactical shooter.....Star Wars: Republic Commando is a game to try out then :)...hell yeah. Vode An!!! :);)
Kaminoans philosophy aside, that opens the question (I don't know if somewhere in the canon it's answered already) "what's the legal status of cloning and clones in the Republic?". Sure, it might be legal by the time of the Clone Wars (it could have been legalized just to use a Clone Army, though), but it seems it was a regular thing way before that, for legal and ilegal purposes (but those would be the uses for the clones, not the process in itself).
If cloning was unregulated or openly legal in the Galaxy, no wonder there is little compassion and moral reactions against the idea of massive cloning; for some years they have already considered clones as "things" more than individual beings.
You seeing the use of the clones as unethical is kinda a major point of the war, It was to force them away from how they draw power from the force so the clones can end up killing them and the jedi
It would be great if you still feel,like Star Wars to watch after this to check out Rebels.
Bric is your standard Military TO
6:05 There actually is a game like this, though you have to use mods to achieve it. XCOM 2 is a turn-based tactical game where you command squads through challenging missions, and there are overhaul mods that can turn the whole thing into Star Wars
Uh oh…here come the tears…
oh I cannot wait for you to get to know The Bad Batch.
What Meg doesn’t understand about brick is that by giving the clones a common enemy they were able win the training out of spite against him, at least that’s how i always perceived it still loved their take on it regardless
"by giving the clones a common enemy they were able win", except Meg is right that Brick wanted them to FAIL not WIN.
99 😭
Have you guys not heard of drill sergeants? xD
Thank you for this video Meg and Caleb! I loved how you got riled up Meg, and "fought" with Caleb. It was both hilarious and serious (I agree with you) in the same time. ^^
I hope you release Daredevil next episode and Batman returns soon!
Lmao! We were dying watching it back! So glad you liked it. My editor's working on DD now and it should be up soon!
@@MegMageReacts Yaas! Thanks!
Is it better to have justice or reformation? What if justice =/= reform?
