What do you think is the darkest Star Wars moment? Let us know in the comments!
Hi mojo
"Hello there"
Hey
Order 66
Han Solo's death
"You were the Chosen One!" So much pain in Obi Wan's voice as he said that. That whole scene is incredibly acted and unbelievably emotional
The bit that gets me is the softer more despairing and resigned “I loved you” as his last good bye
Agreed it makes it hard to watch
The moments that led up to that line are arguably the greatest fight sequences ever put to film, so sad the magic George Lucas wanted to put on the screen is so scarce in the newer entries
Great scene, indeed, but the disparity between he two actors’ abilities are clear. McGregor knocked it out of the park
Don’t forget Hayden’s part
I feel like krell tricking the clone troopers to kill each other should've made the list
and the moment where Savage beheads the whole clan as well as the moment where the Clone gets cut in half by the Blast door in the citadel
Yeah I agree.
What about Leia strangling Jabba the Hutt to death.... that big slimy tongue as he is choked
@@mikespike2099 Nah, that was sexy not dark.
I agree too
The saddest part is that the armor the clones were wearing to honor Ahsoka
Sad… yes
But this is darkest moments smh 😂
Plus Rex was literally shaking as he couldn't shoot someone he cared for.
Find him.... fives... find him.... FIVES!!
@@Vega01 Find Him!!!
I nearly cried when Rex waz shedding a tear about what the entire event in front of Ahsoka
“Do we skip over the Clone Wars’ moments?”
*WatchMojo:* _”I don’t.”_
If you're referencing what I think your referencing, that's smooth.
"Just like the simulations!"
@@thedude3065 What?
@@beninmalgaard9836 google it
@@thedude3065 oh. I see.
Can't believe you didn't mention Satine's death, THAT was the one that broke Obi's spirit, almost at least
No, it definitely broke his spirit. It would upset him for the rest of his life.
Or 99s death
Watching Obi Wan genuinely think of getting revenge was incredibly sad.
Yeah that whole arc was really dark and heartbreaking.
@@rachelhanville9053 and maul wound up coming out of it in just as bad of a place as obiwan thanks to sidious
4 other moments:
- Ahsoka being framed
- Satine’s death
- Krell tricking the clones into killing each other
-Fives’ death
And 99s death
Fives death was the saddest moment I swear to god, I was literally almost in tears
@@GassedFEIN 99's death wasn't dark
@@raddishone92 it wasn’t dark but it was sad
the nightmares.........they're finally...... over
Palpatine: I’m too weak
Anakin: ok so Siths are weak ok, have a good death
Written and directed by: George Lucas
I’m surprised Pong Krell’s command didn’t make the list. Not only was his fight against the 501st and 212th clones brutal by itself, but the fact that he gave them orders with the intent of sacrificing their lives and he tricked the 501st and the 212th into a firefight that killed Waxer by friendly fire was surprisingly brutal.
Waxer 😭😭😭
Pong Krell’s friendly fire fight should’ve definitely made this list
Now when you said it.. 501st fighting against 212th due to a mastermind’s plot..it’s kind of foreshadowing Anakin and Obi-wan, their respective generals, becoming enemies right?🤔
That wasnt a dark moment... That was a dark 4 episodes
@@avag2201 waxer’s death?
The Clone wars order 66 Scene had to be the saddest moment of Star Wars I’ve ever seen Rex was literally trying to fight the inhibitor chip but in the end it was just too much
I know man that seen made me tear up because of how much he resists
It's depressing seeing anakin and obi wan and the relationship with the clones in general knowing what'll happen
That part made me actually cry. He fought it so damn hard. But couldn't win. Soon as I saw his hand shake, I knew it was gonna be a hard scene.
And even the aftermath, after he's freed, then forced to gun down his own men.
😢
Star Wars made me fall in love with Cinema. Remember being a little 6 year old watching the original trilogy before Episode 1 was announced. Absolutely amazing.
Rex during Order 66:“I can’t Ahsoka help me!”
Cody:🤩
Def not how it happened lol
Lol
I think it took a little bit of Rex’s chip to activate but he was aware of what was going on and Cody’s was activated immediately
Order 66 is the most darkest and horrifying moment ever in the universe of Star Wars when we can see all the clone troopers killing all the jedis in the movies and series of Star Wars
Bad batch is gonna be crazy
yes i agree
Agreed not only was it ingenious using the Jedi’s own army but the clones and Jedi were friends and forced to kill each other is just pure evil
@@fitnesswolf1065 yes its genocide, but some of the jedis survived
@@ryanmyers8335 around 100 to be exact
I thought Darth Maul killing Satine right in front of Obi Wan was pretty dark. Heck almost all of Star Wars: The Clone Wars was really dark at times.
I'm surprised that so few scenes on the list were from The Clone Wars. If I had made it, it would've been 75% The Clone Wars.
yeah like when he killed his opponent in the throne room, or when he gets tortured by palpatine or when he was insane when savage found him, he did kill to long time clone wars characters, that arc was so dark to the point that it was like a star wars: game of thrones,
"How Dark is Star Wars?"
"Yes"
"But It is also watched by a lot of children"
"Also yes"
Ever see Avatar: The Last Airbender?
@@rjwong521 yes, It is Very Dark too.
@@rjwong521 that’s why it became an instant classic at my home. My son was five at the time and we’ve rewatched that series at least three times. So much in Avatar.
Obi-Wan: "I have the high ground!"
Anakin: "You underestimate my power."
Don’t try it.
@@eliotero9335 I hate you
You were my brother Anakin. I loved you.
"You were the Chosen one!"
@@Simone489 General Kenobi
*"Hello There My Friends! Happy May The 4th to each one of you!"*
"General Kenobi, you are a kind one"
General Kenobi!
Ah General Kenobi! Thank you for the kind gesture!
Thank you, space jesus
Why’d you do it, Kenobi? Why’d you do it?!?
The audacity to have this and not include Pong Krell and his Umbara stuff 😂
*”3: Anakin slaughters the younglings”*
I can’t even tell you how many memes have been made about it
Ik the fact that I cant even take that scene seriously anymore is really sad
Everyone calls his lightsaber the youngling slayer 9000. That’s not Luke or Rey lightsaber, it’s the youngling slayer 9000.
Rex's resistance to order 66 is marvelous, never ceases to amaze me. That's why he is among the best characters of Star Wars.
Find him... Find him...Fives! FIND HIM, FIVES!!!!
*Anakin's Dark Deeds starts playing*
Ahsoka:Rex,set those blasters to stun.We don’t want to hurt them
Obi-Wan and Yoda:
They truly did a Ahsoka’s character justice in season seven, it shows how much she has trouble letting go and compassionate towards her old friends
Obi wan and yoda.......fuck them clones
KILLSTREAK
@@blacrosekora2638 lol
And Maul
Grand Moff Tarkin is one of the most ruthless villains in Star Wars, he’s cold blood he killed innocent lives including Alderaan
All the animated series do Tarkin justice with just how ruthless he can be. Especially Rebels and at least ep 1 of Bad Batch
@@Falkirion don’t worry he died on board the first Death Star
He got his just desserts.
@@jacksonconley5117 that’s what he gets for killing innocent lives
@@gerardorodriguez7500 I’m not gonna lie, Tarkin and Grand Admiral Thrawn are as much scary as Vader
Sidious:Execute Order 66
Rex:*Scratches his eyes with his Middle Finger* Yes Lord Sidious
I like the fact that Star Wars blends between dark and light moments.
To me, the darkest moment in the franchise is that Clone Wars Episode when a clone malfunctions and begins obeying Order 66 prior it's execution. It is a grim foreshadow of the Order itself and its sad because he dies while everyone else believes he was a defect gone rogue.
Not to mention Fives was the one to recognize his friend had something going on and was hunted down because of what he knew
That was also so heartbreaking to me, Fives knew what was coming and no one believed him
Fives’ death in that arc was HORRIFIC. The poor thing was trying to save everyone and he was silenced.
Rex listened, but at the time he didn't understand. At least the warning Fives issued got through to Rex and eventually Ahsoka who were both saved from Order 66 when it was issued.
RIP Tup. He was a good soldier.
To me, the movies made Tusken Raiders look like savages. But the Mandalorian series shows their people can be reasoned with. Doesn't that make Anakin killing them even darker?
they killed his mum they are pretty savage
Hell nah, I hate tuskens, ever since I saw them in ANH I have dreamt of finally seeing a scene where tusken dies
I think so, but we do need to take into consideration that nobody Anakin knew had any knowledge on how to communicate with them, including himself. However it kind of gives perspective to the point the Mandalorian makes: nobody tried to reason with them in the first place.
I think one thing to remember is that the Mandalorian occurs after AotC. As the book “Kenobi” revealed, Anakin’s slaughter of the Tusken camp had a profound effect on the sand people overall. They realized that the massacre was in connection to them abducting somebody, which causes them to almost completely cease attacks on human settlements. So the events of AotC may have played a part in the Tuskens being willing to trade.
@@m1nouz384 That would mean Din would have prevented said rampage had he appeared in ATOC
Order 66 is one of the darkest,horrifying and scariest moments ever in the history of Star Wars when we can see all the clones received the order 66 to kill all jedis
This sentence feels like a stroke
We know what the order is. Thanks.
Happy Star Wars day WatchMojo
May the 4th be with you
May the 4th be with you all
Happy Star Wars Day💜
Anakin being burned by the lava used to terrify me as a kid. It's still one of the darkest Star Wars moments
I think it should of been higher on the list.
I agree.
Aye.
Yeah I mean there's body horror and then there's Mustafar
The unbaren arc has to be at least a honorable mention
People tend to forget Star Wars has some of the darkest moments in all of cinema
I wouldn't go that far....
@@coin3720 Why not? Its true
@@gabrielberrios1306 there are so many movies that go darker than anything in Star Wars. It has dark moments of course, but nothing in there is anything near the darkest in all of cinema.
@@coin3720 Not THE darkest but some of them come from SW.
The universe is really dark if you think about it. Slavery, genocide, war etc etc.
I knew Order 66 would be number 1. It’s been more than 15 years since that film came out (and 1 year since The Clone Wars ended) and yet it NEVER fails to turn me into a complete wreck with my eyes a nonstop waterfall. And like the narrator said, with the expansion of the stories in The Clone Wars, now knowing that the clones were programmed into being forced to kill their friends against their will, only makes it even more disturbing and heartbreaking.
I also believe Anakin Burns should have been a bit higher as it was such a pivotal point of the Original, Prequel Trilogy.
Yah, because the audience watches the hero we once loved being striped away both physically and mentally.
"The Clone Wars may be animated, but..."
Yeah go ahead and finish that off with "it features darker shit than the films would ever show you."
Kanan’ death is also so sad and dark 🥺... it should be on the top !
That was so hard to watch. RIP Kanan.
Yeah Kanan was the best
I agree. Such a gut wrenching scene
comet star He was- and still is- my second favorite character in Rebels.
@@westerfrost3701 My favorite character in Rebels was Ezra than Kanan would be my second favorite as well
Great list, though what about the entire episode of "The Lawless" Satine dying in Obi Wan's arms was brutal.
The fact that han’s carbonation and Luke and Vader’s final battle isn’t even in the honorable mentions is nothing short of insulting to the OT
I think there are a few Rebels scenes darker than Ezra's there, Maul blinding Kanan and Kanan's sacrifice, Ashoka vs Vader, and when Zeb sees those outlawed weapons and breaks down about how they were used to drive his entire species to near extinction seriously Steve Blum is so amazing as Zeb in that episode
I think what made it dark was that it was Ezra doing it rather than an antagonist
You’re right. The scene when they make the engineer ride the speeder to failure and explode. The writers of both TCW & Rebels captured the horrors of occupation, imperialism, war and futile resistance.
How about Ahsoka and Ezra vs Sidious??
The nose worm episode
I swear that made me not
Be able
To look ants or worms the same
Again
It wasn't violent, but Ben Solo's death broke my heart and took away my hope.
Snoke had warned that as long as Skywalker lived, _hope_ lived, and, well.
Skywalker did live on through Rey.
When Rey took the Skywalker name she took on the mantle of the beacon of hope in the galaxy.
More from Clone Wars and Rebels. Every Star Wars fan needs to experience these great stories with the highest production values I have seen in any animated series.
and now we have The Bad Batch as well...can't wait to see where they take us with this one
I love Rebels! It’s one of my favorite shows!
@@newageBoundhippie The first episode was great. I could tell Filoni was in charge.
I’m surprised that the 501st and 212th battle on Umbara didn’t at least make it in the mentions list. That got pretty dark when Rex realized that Krell lied about the enemies being disguised as clones and that they where actually killing their own brothers.
Yeah deffinentally!
"Anakin's return to Tatooine is traumatic, and not just because of the sand"
Gat heeeeeeee
Watching Rex struggle and finally succumb was heartbreaking. Seeing Ahsoka deflect the blaster bolts not back at the troopers, but toward the ceiling to provide an escape route for herself was similarly moving.
Love how the prequels are finally being appreciated
Happy Star Wars day UA-camrs! May the 4th be with you.
Same to you!
@@WatchMojo I’m gonna be honest here, Mojo. Satine’s death would be a good selection for another darkest _Star Wars_ moments list, along with Pong Krell’s friendly fire order. I mean, Obi-Wan kept his feelings for the Duchess under control, but to see Maul send the Darksaber’s blade thru her heart, I’m surprised he was able to keep it together. No, Anakin would’ve straight-up dismembered the Dathomirian Zabrak. There’s nothing worse than an angry Anakin if you’re a fan of the Chosen One.
Good choices wmj!👍
Thrawn bombing Lothal was a little dark. Also in Solo almost everyone died during the train heist
Ok, but can we talk about how badass the seen with young Kanan vs Crosshair was in The Bad Batch?
Amazing Information!
I like how just about every list today is Star Wars related!
You should do “Top 10 darkest animated Star Wars moments” - we need Krell’s crimes featured.
And Barris Offee's betrayal too
May the 4th be with you all!!
Ahsoka being framed in Season 5 of Clone Wars is the absolute darkest part of Star Wars. I suppose it's not a single moment, but rather sad that it didn't make this list. My kids rewatch many Star Wars movies and animated shows over and over again, but they refuse to watch Ahsoka's fall again because it was so heart breaking.
FINALLY! First the MCU, then Avatar, and now this! Please do more like this.
Next Top 10 Darkest Spider Man Moments (Not just comics please)
Maybe there will be a order 66 flashback sequence in the Mandalorian on how Grogu was saved
The Owen & Beru’s deaths is the saddest and horrible death moment in all the time in the movies of Star Wars when we can see Luke Skywalker watching the death of his adoptive parents
The scene come from the great western movie, the Searchers.
Dude!!! Why did you have to remind me of that horrendous scene. I about almost completely forgot my first moment of shock in the Star Wars Movie series! I remember how gut wrenching that was for me. The only reason Star Wars Revenge of the Sith wasn't the second traumatizing Star Wars scene for me is because I was too young at the time. My parents wouldn't allow me to be so thoureghly scarred by such a sad movie. Which I am grateful for. I already had trouble getting utterly scared by Ocarina of Time, The Dark Crystal, and The Secret of Nihm. Didn't need more then that to be honest. I was like 7 or 8 at the time.
The ending of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was pretty dark too. The way Darth Vader straight up murders Trilla as she was starting to go back into the light, absolutely terrifying.
“Avenge us” literally horror film worthy line, but I guess they weren’t using video games for this list
Two videos on Star Wars Day, WatchMojo? I will call that, EXCELLENT (Darth Sidious’ voice). Also, thank you for choosing Order 66 as number one, as it should be and I kind of knew it BEFORE I watched the video. Order 66 is the most tragic event in the Star Wars franchise, it was REALLY heartbreaking with Ahsoka Tano’s and Captain Rex’s perspective. Gosh, the season finale of season seven of The Clone Wars is gut wrenching.
Final episode of clone wars when the star destroyer crashed on the moon, where Ashoka and Rex had to dig shallow graves for the clones that died in the crash. It was a sad and dark moment.
I feel like a lot of people enjoy watching star wars because it's original and it's realistic because there isn't always a happy ending or a love story. I mean yea there are a decent amount of love stories but still.
The Rex and Ahsoka scene broke my heart since they were two of my favorite characters. The pain in Rex's voice and tears in his eyes, heartbreaking, and right after they had just had a wholesome bonding moment.
The moment Rex turns on Ahsoka on the Bridge of the cruiser, seeing him tear up and fire at her, that was truly a heart breaking moment, seeing one of the most loved characters forced to turn against another loved character, seeing Rex fight the order long enough to warn Ahsoka.
Any scene with Ahsoka in it either makes me cry tears of joy or tears of sadness. Or both😔
Order 66 always gives me goosebumps and makes me cry for the Jedi younglings may the 4th be with them
Twilight of the Apprentice, as Ashoka recognizes Vader to be Anakin and says that she will not leave him this time. And Vader replies only with "Then you will die". The ultimate corruption of their mentor/student / brother/sister relationship.
That scene still gives me goosebumps. One of the best scenes in all of Star Wars.
Since A New Hope was the very first Star Wars film I saw as a kid, the deaths of Owen and Beru with the destruction of Alderan really drove home just how utterly ruthless the Empire is and they don't mess around.
“You were the chosen one! It was said you would destroy the sith! Not join them!”
You don’t realize how hard it was to say that to Anakin
Oh yes we did...
Even with the deaths of Qui Gonn and Satine he still had Ani so losing him to the dark side may be the last straw
1:10 Everyone in the theater watching The Last Jedi.
And the follow-up.
12:10
You gotta give Rex credit--despite being slowly taken over by the programming, he tried his best to resist for Ahsoka's sake--what a Trooper!
Younglings scene always gets me 😞
I cannot wait to see the next episode of the bad batch. Because we get to see what happens after order 66. Through the clones perspective.
Just imagine you are a Padawan then Order 66 happened
I love all these shows and movies! Also May the fourth be with you!!!
The best pt of Mojo is this narrator
Maul killing Satine in front of Obi-Wan should have been at least an honorable mention, if not on the top 10 list. That was brutal
Order 66 was so sad
-Luke skywalker in ep8
-Han solo being a deadbeat loser dad
Seriously though:
-order 66
-anakin burns
-anakin attacking jedi temple
-han solo death
-darth maul spider legs
-rogue one deaths
A dark moment in Star Wars was in the Phantom Menace when Darth Maul murders Obi-Wan's master Qui-Gon Jinn. Every time I saw a wise teacher is killed that way and see a student cry out "NO!" Really tears me up.
Roses are dead
Violets are dying
Outside I'm laughing
Inside I'm crying
This saying is dark, sad and interesting
Joker has entered the chat.
Ok I can respect number 1 but you never mentioned Star Wars the Clone Wars the umbara arc were General krill (I’m not sure if I spelled his name correctly) tricked the 501st clone troopers and 212th troopers to kill each other. That moment deserved it to be on this list.
Or the part where Maul beheaded six people and their smoking heads were shown on screen.
Seeing Order 66 in TCW with Rex and Ahsoka legitimately made me cry and I'm not afraid to admit it
Lmao that hype back ground music at the beginning is funny
"The Clone Wars may be animated, but can still be dark."
Me: Does it really matter if a film or show is dark if it is animated or not? I mean, when you look at Disney's or Pixar's animated films, there are many dark moments in most of them.
May The 4th Be With You
Happy StarWars Day Everyone!!! 🎂
0:18 The music in the background make this scene so funny XD
Man, seeing Rex struggle like a tortured soul to not fire his blasters was profoundly well executed. Horrible look on his face and all...
The Clone Wars turned out to be amazing. TOP MARKS for the production crew. I'm grateful that I invested in a Blu-ray set of Seasons 1 to 6.
Anakin:Grogu,don’t come to the Jedi Temple tomorrow...
Its my birthday! Happy Star Wars day all! May the 4th be with you!
Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy birthday!
Homicidal is a good word to use to describe Anakin!
Here's a dark moment:
Bad batch: episode 1
Crosshair executes order 66 and forced to follow orders!
This was dark
Fives’s death should be on here
Can probably lump in what Kix tried to do also
Top 10 Most Terrifying Star Wars Monsters
When I first saw order 66. I remember feeling just as bad as Yoda. It just twisted the blade more seeing the Clone troopers trying the discover the truth about it and dying to reveal it.
When Anakin ignites his YounglingSlayer 9000 gets deffinedly one of the darkest moment ranks
Say what you want about the prequels but it really committed to creating emotion in scenes, even if it sacrificed plot or common sense or good dialogue for on the nose stuff. It’s where the actors get to shine and you can’t find the same level of emotionally charged scenes anywhere else in Star Wars I’d say
And the clone wars only added to that
Non state wars fan here, where should I start if I'm new I kinda wanna get into the series but I don't know where to start
Probably phantom menace. Then if u want clone wars tv show. Then attack of the clones. Then revenge of the sith. A new hope. The. Another show Star Wars rebels. Then return of the Jedi. Don’t watch the Rey trilogy but you can if u want
Why would he watch TCW before AOTC? And Rebels after ANH?
I would start with Episode 1, then work your way to 9.
Start with the OT so the twist is not ruined. Then watch the PT and ST. Then watch spin offs and shows
I don't care which medium it's in, Order 66 is, hands down, *the* darkest moment in the entire Star Wars franchise.
The destruction of Malachor V or Katarr from KOTOR would've been a nice addition to the list.
