Also in "Shattered", during Maul's corridor scene, one of the clones (the one that will loose his arm) mention "Ridge is down!". During the assault on Teth in the Clone Wars movie, when the LAAT are under fire, we hear "Ridge, your com's gone static." Which means that Ridge was with Ahsoka during her first and last missions with the 501st.
Ooooh that’s a good one! Thank you very much for spotting that!
Ouch
So ridge was with the 501st for years, but never got any unique colouring
@@bmo5852 well, in TCW movie none get unique colouring and during the siege of Mandalore they all painted their helmets in honour of Ahsoka
In the 2008 clone wars movie during the attack on Teth, this specific group of clone from the 501st is Torrent Company (so Ridge was part of them) and after Anakin living the clone for saving Rotta the Hut the clones get surrounded by droids. At this point only 2 clones are left ; Rex and a unnamed clone. So I believe this clone is Ridge, because we now know that he survive the assault on Teth.
Rex using the stun blast proves that those pistols can stun, proving that Fox could have saved the galaxy by using stun
Reagan Justice
If it makes you feel any better Fox seems to forget about the stun setting up until the 2017 Vader comic and it bites him in the ass.
KiriUzu and the neck.
There’s a scene earlier in the episode with fox talking to palpatine, which implies they he might’ve directly been ordered, or at least suggested, to kill fives intentionally
@@BlindJedi
*chocked by Vader*
@@THEDeathWizard87 thats what i think
Also Jesse demoted Rex for treason, so technically when we meet him again in Rebels he is actually Cpt Rex and not Commander. No retcon there eheh
"Never liked being a commander anyways"
@@Mobysimo he eventually gets promoted again at the end of rebels. Which doesn't make sense because he said this line
That kinda got me wondering: getting demoted one rank down should be the least of worries, considering you’ve just been accused of treason against the republic punishable by death.
@@Boom__6678 Being a commander in the Republic military is way different from being one in the Rebellion.
how does it explain Commander Appos Ranking
I love that the Bad Batch is Clone Force 99. That’s just brilliant.
“99. Nice touch”
Does anyone know what happened to the Bad Batch during Order 66 and after it?
William C. Sierra i have a theory. There is a stormtrooper force called task force 99. Look it up, its incredible. I think they and the bad batch are one in the same. Its pretty cool
Heartwarming for sure
@@williamc.sierra514 We shall soon find out.
Anakin’s password 8108 is the premiere date of the clone wars movie 8/10/(200)8
I knew that had to be some sort of reference, but I couldn't figure it out. Thank you.
Also a reference to when order 66 goes off in ROTS at 81:08
It’s also heyden Christians birthday and the premiere of the clone wars. It’s many different things
Cool
Sean Biscuit 10 didn’t know Hayden was born is 2008 he looks very old for his age tbh
Rex: _Fights order 66_
Cody: *So anyway I started blasting*
Bahahaha - but Did Cody know about Fives and the potential conspiracy like Rex?
@@writingref No I didn't but Cody was only loyal to palatine (republic) and wouldn't tell anyone if he find out the conspiracy about 5's
@@obiwankenobi7857 Over used meme by the way. Still true though.
So I start blasting
I hope the Star Wars Rebels sequel has Clone Wars style animation
It will probably have a new animation style because, every animated show so far has had a different animation style from the last for better or for worse.
I wouldn't put too much hope into that, as The Clone Wars was incredibly expensive to produce and largely funded personally by George Lucas himself.
Animation and art style should not be conflated. Clone Wars and Rebels are stylised but in different ways. For Clone Wars George wanted to push boundaries of 3D animation and go for a new art style hence the more angular textures. For Rebels Dave and the team wanted to pay homage to Ralph McQuarrie concept art (thinner lightsabers, Vader's mask) and Kenner figures hence the smoother textures which is a call back to the books and figures fans in Dave's generation collected over the years and played with in sandboxes. But both shows were under the same animation supervisor and crew.
Animation isn't just about budget, it's more about time and the crew working on it. Yes George heavily funded Clone Wars but it didn't go into the pockets of animators it went into developing the rendering technology. If Dave wants to tell his post-Rebels story in animation the animation team will already have access to the assets that George put funding into (that's why Rebels had more refined animation than the majority of Clone Wars, better smoke and dust animation, explosions etc.), the question of whether it will look refined or not depends solely on the time they're given and the talent of the crew and knowing Filoni he won't rush a story into production before he knows what he wants to tell.
Don't hold your breath, kid.
clone wars' animation is really expensive which is one of the many reasons it was cancelled in the first place
The Bad Batch is also a reference to when Hevy said “we are nothing but a bad batch”
Ryan Madera everything is reference nowadays
One thing I loved about this season was how cool it was to see it have things from more recent canon material. I never thought we would ever see Dryden Vos in the clone wars, or get mentions of crimson dawn, but here we are.
Also, an indirect reference, Ahsoka in the war room on Mandalore says to Obi-Wan, _"Tell Anakin,"_ Obi-Wan responds "I will", and they both end it with some sort of mutual unspoken conclusion before she leaves with Rex.
Then you realize that when he yells, "You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" in Revenge of the Sith, he does so for *both Ahsoka and himself,* saying what she would never get to say to her former Master.
I'm going to miss The Clone Wars, but the finale taught us one final lesson:
_Let go._
Jeffrey Zhang interesting point. Alex also theorized on a video the other day that she wanted to say may the force be with you, the thing that Obi-Wan says to Anakin The last time they speak.
“Tell Anakin I’m force sensitive!” is what she was actually gonna say
@The KGB i reckon, more this, because she actually looks pissed off at him interjecting
Those days are last now, but we're still here, and we still go on.
Darth Vader activating a blue bladed light saber reminded me of the Ralph McQuarrie concept art.
The clone trooper impaled by maul in the hallway scene was named Ridge. That is the same clone trooper Ridge from the battle of Teth
We went from
"Ridge your Comm's got static"
"Got it"
To
"Ridge is down! Maul's advancing toward the main hangar!"
ah yes, impaled by mail, what a horrible way to go. 🤣😂😶😥😣😢 RIP
Ah typos, they happen to us all
Clone force 99 is the precursor of Scar squadron in the comics with elite stormtroopers and a lightsaber wielding leader called Kreel who hunted down Luke
And Maul's coffin is probably a similar device to the coffin used to store Luminara Unduli in rebels
Could we see the Bad Batch return with orders to hunt down Cal in JFO2?
I was thinking it was a reference to the way Hannibal Lecter is transported.
Obi Wan: I hope you at least told Padme I said hello
Rex: Oh crap he knows
Anakin: What the...
Lol
Master Kenobi? Are you making memes of yourself?
@@mauriceschannel1945 I need to keep the memes civilised
@@mauriceschannel1945 Good god, your alive!
There was also the parallel between Anakin's "surrender" and Luke's standoff with the First Order from TLJ.
I also believe Anakin used some of Dooku's line from episode II for his surrender speech when Dooku asked the remaining Jedi to surrender
It's a reference to Obi Wans fake surrender in the CW movie
And also a clear reference to the fight on Jabba’s sail barge which is the second time TCW has done that.
It actually reminded me more of kanan jarrus revealing himself to be a Jedi in the pilot episode of Rebels. The way they both were physically present and subtly weaving blaster fire.
I suppose there are a lot of fake surrenders in Star Wars and let's just assume it was referencing any and all of them
When ahsoka holds the ship maul is in. People mention how Rey did the same thing but not how the seventh sister did it in season 2 of rebels
Lydia Thompson it actually reminded me of Starkiller bringing down a Star Destroyer in Force Unleashed at first glance.
@@brandonc9769 yeah I see people talk about that too but not a lot of people are talking about that either. Thanks for pointing that out
Ahsoka had been trained all her life. Rey had only known of the Force for about a year. But I see your point.
IndianaJoe0321 Cuz she had a strong natural connection with the force. Like Luke destroying the Death Star as a new pilot and first time using the force and Anakin good at almost everything naturally.
Honestly it made me think of when Vader doesn't do it in Empire on Hoth
I feel like Maul's new double bladed saber should be a combo of his old saber and Savage's saber. I feel like that would have more meaning. Still a good looking saber though.
In the final episode you can see the show’s first appearance of the Alpha Nimbus-class V-wing Starfighters seen in ROTS being barely visible in the background of the lower hangar deck.
I do wish we saw some of the lesser-known vehicles in the series. V-wings, AT-APs, homing spider droids, etc
Gotta love that Reach reference at the end...
Also, in the very last Episode, Darth Maul (voiced by Sam Witwer aka Starkiller) brought down a Stardestroyer with the force, just like Starkiller. Even though it was not exactly the same, it was a more toned down, realistic version, suitable for canon. I wonder whether it was on purpose.
Also also, Ahsoka falling alongside the Venator reminded me a lot of The Force Unleashed II.
That never clicked for me, about Maul doing the same thing as Starkiller. It was just "Ayo! Maul pulled a whole Star Destroyer outta hyperspace!" (Obvious overhyping) but thanks
@@mr.strange4063 it was exponentially toned down though. he didn't pull down a star destroyer, he destroyed the hyperspace engine.
@@swamidan277 I know but if you say it that way without giving much explanation, it sounds way cooler
Let’s be real. If they were to have animated The Son of Dathmir, those would be some Boss Episodes😂
I think we will get those episodes at some point. It will be like Star Wars the unreleased episodes. If they make them Disney will make more money off merchandise than any of the new movies
bringthepain xu it would be a huge miss opportunity if they didn’t that’s for sure
Would be much better then the bad batch or ahsoka before mandalore, didnt much care for those. Would like to see boba vs cad too
ACOGLMT556 I liked the bad batch arc a lot actually but I just feel since we as fans were waiting years for this season we should’ve gotten closer to 20 new episodes to really rap up a series that is arguably one of the best tv shows ever made. We had an arc we’ve already seen before. Ahsoka’s walkabout which was almost pointless garage. And the siege. Glad we got anything at all and I’m happy the siege was amazing arc. But I think the inclusion of Maul’s story, ventress was and cad banes at the very least would’ve truly wrapped up this series without any threads hanging loose. But that’s just me
The Jedi Code I completely agree with you! Would have loved to see these come to the screen!
Ahsoka: "This is where the fun begins."
Anakin: "Race you to the top."
Ahsoka: (Smirks) "I'll give you a head start."
Anakin: (Smirks) "Your mistake."
oof I remember that line
one of the songs that played was called "race you to the surface"
6:15 I would want to add that Kessels "nice side" and the palace they go to are heavily inspired by India, making the Indiana Jones conection even more obvious.
I half expected them to be served chilled Kowakian monkey-lizard brains :)
@@HellbellyUK Yummy😐😂
End of clone wars = ahsoka the grey, end of rebels = ahsoka the white
She also kinda qouted gandalf by saying there are questions that need answering, need to rewatch but think she was talking to the droids
cringe
Check Dave Filoni instagram, he posted art refering to that almost a year ago. I honestly am disapointed that this channel didnt check that, it shows how shallow their research is, because all the answers are there!
I really hate how thy seem to be turning her in friggin gandalf.
The Y-Wing Rex and Ashoka used to escape has blue 501st markings
Now we have four different colour variations of Republic Y-Wings (Yellow, Red, Green and Blue)
@@CaptainM792 There are also 2 different yellow ones. The one that Anakin flew and the one that the rest of Shadow Squadron flew during the Malevolance arc
in the ziro the hutt anecdote, Trace mentions Luminara Unduli, right? and I think it was a nice touch to keep her character consistent by still being that rigid, tainted jedi that kind of symbolized how lost from their original ways the jedi were during the clone wars, as she demonstrated similar behaviors during seasons 1 and 2
Thanks. I'm the type of person that misses these little details the first watch-through so I'm happy you do this sort of summary.
I love when Rex gets demoted from Commander for treason, "I didn't like being commander anyway...", which is why he refers to himself as Captain, again, during Rebels.
Another reference for you, I think: that shot of y-wings, present in this video where you point out that they are referred to as gold squadron (around 3:55) is, I believe, a recreation of the a new Hope concept painting of y wings attacking the Death Star.
Yes, I spotted that too. It's from a concept painting by the Legendary Ralph mcquarrie. I've been looking through all my Star Wars books (and I have a lot) to try to find it. Oh, how I regret selling my original Ralph mcquarrie portfolios many years ago now.
Did you know that Captain Vaughn Character model is a retexture of Commander Cody From Episode 3.
If only fox had used that very useful stun setting it almost like that’s there for taking out prisoners or important people with out killing them.
@lego palpatine is better than you Yep, orders said to eliminate him...
There are three background characters that are based on original Kenner toys throughout the martez sister arc. Most notably in the first episode but the Iotian(?) is part of the prison break later on
There's a Blue Snaggletooth in that episode, and the Hammerhead is dressed like his Kenner figure.
One other easter egg I didn’t notice till I saw Star Force One’s vid was the droid RG-G1 (GiGi), has the class name and dark green with gold stripes paint job seen on GG1 class of locomotives used by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
It was also a tribute to Gigi Bryant who died before the episode's release.
You forgot about the mention of Shaak Ti protecting the Chancellor which is a callback to Clone Wars 2003.
There were lots of parallels of Old Friends Not Forgotten, the last arc's first episode, to the 1st parts of the 2008 Clone Wars film. Battle of Christphsis vs Yerbana, with the jetpacks, huge spider droids and the pretend surrender though from Anakin instead. Ahsoka coming down from the ship. Ahsoka, Rex and the men having a small happy moment with Anakin on the side. Also Ahsoka racing Anakin to the monk monastery on Teth vs Ahsoka and Rex racing to the surface of Mandalore
The way Ahsoka and Bo-Katan shake hands is Shattered is a refrence to the way Mando's shake hands in the Republic Commando novels
So THAT’S what happened to R7! Man, what a coincidence huh? That he just so happens to be stationed on the Venator that Anakin gives to Ahsoka.
Or maybe, Anakin kept R7 around, as a reminder of his lost Padawan??
Or more realistically, before becoming Ahsoka's mech, he was one of the many droids stationed in Anakin's ships, meaning that just because Ahsoka is no longer her master doesn't mean he'll be thrown out, he's basically an asset.
@@El_Omar2203 Yeah, he was property of the Republic.
Damn Yularen aged insanely quickly though, at the beginning he looked in his early forties but 3 years later he looks in his mid 60s
War is stupid stressful and can age people quickly.
And he had to work with Skywalker a lot so
It's like Obi-wan and Owen aging 40 years in 18 years.
@@bavtie1to be fair, Obi-Wan did live on a planet with two suns.
That reminds me of Lagertha's white hair after a battle in the series " Vikings" . In the rest of the series, she has white hair.
"I am one with the Force. The Force will guide me."
The Clone Wars, S05E06 "The Gathering"
I recently rewatched that episode and one of the padawans looking for her crystal meditates with the phrase, "I am one with the Force. The Force will guide me." Talk about having a bit of a "Wow" moment, as this episode was produced probably a year before the Disney purchase, and several more before Rogue One. Did someone in the story group remember that TCW line and modify it for R1? Is it a coincidence? Either way, it's very cool and helps tie the saga together.
I Realy like the new general grievous and palpatine look
You missed palpatine scream when maul start to fight with ahsoka in ep.11
In the opening scene of "Shattered," Bo Katan and Asoka talk about how Mandalore needs a different kind of leader, while they look at the "Peace Park" that was bombed in "The Duchess of Mandalore" episode in the Clone Wars
This bombing was the first event we see in Mandalore in Star Wars Canon and is seen as the start of the militant era of Death Watch. Now the monument is a smoldering reminder of Duchess Satine and the collapse of the New Mandalorian peace, showing what theyr were trying to avoid.
In the Rebels episode ‘The World Between Worlds’ when Ahsoka first addresses Mori and she flies to her arm, you can hear the voice of the Daughter say “I am the Daughter”.
The droid "GG" seen in the last 2 episodes is actually based on a train called the Pennsylvania Railroad GG1. The official name of the droid as seen in concept art is "RG-G1" and it's got the same shape, color, and gold pin striping as the locomotive. If you look up "GG1 locomotive" you'll see the resemblance immediately.
There were possibly two subtle 2001: A Space Odyssey references: the cage Maul is being kept in - which resembles the monolith and HAL's faceplate - and then the following shot where he sees Ahsoka and Bo Katan talking with no audio, just as HAL was watching Dave Bowman and Frank Poole conspiring againt him while they were inside the space pod.
In episode 11, before Ahsoka frees Maul, she knocks out a clone trooper the same way Captain America knocks out Rumlow in The Winter Soldier
I kinda want to see a mini-series about the Outer Rim sieges
I may be the only person that noticed this, but Rex’s password for his grievance report is 8-10-8, which was the release date for the Clone Wars movie. August 10th, 2008
When Rafa hits the trandoshan on Oba diah spice port, the noise that this trandoshan makes is exactly a Velociraptor sound effect from Jurassic park
I can’t remember where I heard it from, but apparently the planet Ashoka and Rex crash on is the same planet that Dooku recruited Jango Fett, ending the clone wars where it began
In "Dangerous Debt" when Rafa is telling Ahsoka about how their parents died. She mentions the Jedi that came over to her saying "I'll never forget it, she was beautiful dark robes contrasting against her light green skin, penetrating eyes, she looked at me and said 'I had to make a choice, but not to worry, the Force will be with you.'"" Its speculation of course, but I am under the impression that this was Jedi Master Luminara Unduli. The description really fits her, and the attitude toward losing a loved one is quite similar to her attitude when its was believed her apprentice Barris Offee and Ahsoka Tano were thought dead/dying on Genosis. It is just speculation but I think its quite possible it was Unduli.
Yularen's character model isn't new at all. He looked like this since season 5.
I thought this about the Darth Vader scene in The clone wars finale:
In the last scene with Vader , the sister (morai) is flying over. She is the living embodiment of the light side and Vader turns his back on it but he doesn’t leave it all behind, he takes Ahsoka’s lightsaber with him which symbolises that he hadn’t fully turned to the dark side. I think Ashoka’s lightsabers represent the fact that there was always a slither of light in Anakin and it just needed a push from Luke to fully stand out.
I’m pretty sure the music in the episode 9 of season 7, the first episode of this arc, when Anakin pulls his false surrender, they use music from return of the Jedi as a reference to Luke’s false surrender against Jabba.
During Maul and Ahsoka's first battle this season, the second Maul ignited his saber and goes in, you can hear Palpatine's creepy shout from revenge of the sith when he jumped Windu and the rest of the jedi
Although Gar Saxon was introduced by name in The Son of Dathomir, I believe we got our first look at him in Season 5 of The Clone Wars as the "Mauldolorian" who punched Korkie and captured Satine after they tried to escape in The Lawless. The helmet is very similar (the spikes are distinctive), he could have upgraded his armour and added the glowing visor later as he rose through the ranks.
Why was R7 with Rex and Ahsoka at the end of the episode at the burial site? Also, they reference Shaak Ti defending Palpatine on Coruscant, possibly bringing the 2003 clone wars story into the canon. Also, we see a Falleen with Maul and Dryden Vos.
When Ashoka arrives with Bo Katan to meet with Anakin and Obi-wan. I think that is a scene recreated to mirror the very first time they met Ahsoka. As she steps of her shuttle.
I think the lightsaber is actually Ventress'. She did use a lightsaber identical to that in Dark Disicple but we didn't see it... For very obvious reasons as it's a novel. Ventress was the last of the nightsisters (Not counting Merrin who hid herself away from the outside world) meaning that the nightbrothers would die out as having no females left on their planet. Something which Maul tells us eventually happened in Rebels. Meaning that Ventress was the last (to his knowledge) Nightsister, and Maul would become the last Nightbrother, meaning that the saber represents Dathomir as a whole.
The saber was also likely left on Dathomir with her corpse, a place which we learn that Maul visited often, so it is likely that he turned the crystal from yellow to red and treated it as the other half of his new blade
The light on Maul’s eyes is a lighting technique often used in American film noir, most notably in In A Lonely Place by Nicholas Ray. Im sure this was on purpose since Dave has often said George made everyone watch a lot of movies
In the second episode of the Siege of Mandalore arc, when everyone walks in to see Maul sitting on the throne, it's reminiscent of the Empire Strikes Back scene where all the heroes are surprised to see the Sith Lord sitting calmly on a chair. Then Bo-Katann/Han fires their blaster, which is easily defeated by the Sith.
The season also shows the first on screen appearance of the repair bay.
In the episode "Shattered" Ahsoka tells the droid to use Anaken's code 8108 which is the theatrical release date of the Clone Wars Movie August, 10th 2008. The first time we meet Ahsoka.
Wow that was a lot of Easter Eggs attached into that whole season 10/10.
3:15 And BD-1.
8:39 So what happened to Rook?
Judging from the horned helmet, maybe she's the Mandalorian Armorer.
Jedi Spartan 38 My guess is that he’s the chick in the mandalorian
She may have perished when the Empire removed Bo-Katan as the leader of Mandalore (shortly after the creation of the Empire); as when Bo-Katan rallies together the Mandalorian Resistance, a different woman is portrayed as the leader of Clan Rook and says “Clan Rook is with you”.
I don’t know if Anakin being above Coruscant means Ahsoka’s Walkabout takes place before Anaxes. Anaxes could have just ended and Anakin was resupplying before heading back to the Sieges.
It’s literally impossible as sisters arc takes place hours before the mandalore arc. Bad batch takes place before, he missed a bunch of things in the breakdown so it’s not the only mistake.
@@LEGO_GrandAdmiral It also doesn't make sense for him to be on Coruscant either. In ROTS he said something along the lines of If the chancellor wasn't kidnapped I wouldn't be back from the outer rim sieges. I feel like if he went to coruscant even just to resupply he would make some excuse to leave his ship to go see Padme. It really doesn't make sense either way and you can probably make excuses for both.
The hooded person on the Mando holding cell that is standing next to what could be Tar Vizla could be Revan from his time as a jedi during the Mandalorian wars.
The clone trooper helmets on poles is also a callback to the clone helmets and droid heads the Talz put on pikes in the episode "Trespass."
It just occurred to me how hard it would be to jam an armored helmet onto a spike.
Another fact: Obi-Wan mentions that Shaak Ti is leading the Republic side of the Battle of Courasant(I probably spelled that wrong),which may or may not be a reference to the Clone Wars Microseries.
The eye we can see in Vader's scene at the end of Victory and Death is also the same one we'll see in revels when he fights Ashoka.
memory for the bad batches LAAT still has the pin up
Hearing Ahsoka say the "I am one with the force . . ." chant really makes me wish Rey had used it in TROS. Instead of the whole come to me thing.
😞
The Y-wing that Rex uses to rescue Ahsoka being coloured blue is an indicator that it’s apart of the 501st.
Ahsoka's mo-cap performer was Lauren Mary Kim who also performed stunts for the Armorer in The Mandalorian
There is a V-Wing visible in the lower hangar decks of the Venator
Also the music that plays at the very first of the episode is from the funeral pyre scene for qui gon jinn near the end of Epiosde 1.
I loved The clone wars. Season 7 was great!
Disney could not pick a better day than May the 4th to premiere the final episode. :)
We investigated the origins of Star Wars day in our new documentary channel and it's mind blowing! :)
I saw your video and really enjoyed it. I had no idea Margaret Thatcher is the reason May the 4th is Star wars day. :)
I think Ahsoka’s grey cloak might be an homage to Gandalf. Here, she is Ahsoka the grey, but at the end of Rebels, she is the resurrected Ahsoka the White. Dave Filoni even has a drawing of Gandalf and Ahsoka talking about how Gandalf also came back to life on his Instagram. Interestingly enough, both are drawn as their “grey” versions. Gandalf has grey robes, a white sash, and his iconic pointy hat, and Ahsoka has her grey cloak over her final Clone Wars costume.
The Phantom Apprentice duel between Maul and Ahsoka has a much deeper meaning. While on Mortis, Ahsoka’s life was drained out of her, and the Daughter, a representation of the light, gave Ahsoka what life left she had. Ahsoka was therefore ‘pure light’. Maul on the other hand has numerous relations to the Son and the dark. When Maul first appears in the episode ‘Brothers’, he quotes, “Chains are the easy part, it’s what goes on in here.” While Ahsoka is help captive by the Son in the episode ‘Altar of Mortis’, he says the exact same thing. Another similarity is that Maul and the Son are voiced but the same actor. Maul was therefore ‘pure darkness’. This implies that when Maul and Ahsoka are duelling, it is essentially a duel between the light and dark, with the light winning, though being the underdog. This foreshadows the victory of the rebellion and the resistance.
Missed Easter Egg: Jedi Master Shaak Ti was mentioned by Obi-Wan Kenobi to have been protecting Chancellor Palpatine before his capture by General Grevious. This is a nod to the 2003 _Star Wars: Clone Wars_ miniseries created by Genndy Tartakovsky.
Or the deleted scene in ep 3.
The voice of the astromech droid Ahsoka named Cheep was voiced by series director, David Filoni. This is a called back to Rise of Skywalker where the droid D-O was voiced by the movie's director, J.J. Abrams.
Nah Dave also voiced Chopper in Rebels. Also, animation takes for fricken ever so the decision for Dave to voice cheep would've been done long before JJ voiced D-0.
During the first episode of season 7, after the Clones and the Bad Batch are shot down and destroy the initial responding squad of Droids, a Super Tactical Droid lands with a handful of B-X Series Commando Droids in escort to survey the damage, causing him to contact Admiral Trench directly to relay the situation.
He tells Trench that these particular Clones happened to be using tactics they'd never seen before, to which the Admiral asks him whether or not he thought that a Jedi was accompanying them.
He answers, "No, just Clones." And Admiral Trench responds, "Interesting. They're on foot now and alone in the woods. Locate these Clones and inform me if the incursion escalates."
It's made pretty clear that the whole reason behind bringing in the Bad Batch for this particular mission was because the Droid Army had been analyzing their battle tactics and using them to predict their movements with increasing success.
Bringing in a Squad of Clones who naturally DON'T adhere to any set style, standard, or method that the Droids would be able to predict is precisely what the Clones needed to do in order to pull off the mission that gets to the heart of that advantage.
It's actually quite brilliant storytelling, really.
There's so many little nuances and story beats, things fundamental to the very reason any given character does anything at all, showing their motivations better than most movies that have dropped recently, even in the Star Wars Universe.
It's a testament to the exceptional thought that goes in to making each episode, so much so that some aspects tend to go right over most people's heads entirely lol I haven't heard anyone mentioning that little detail about the Bad Batch arc, until I was just re-watching it again and it suddenly became clear.
Anyways, I was so obviously impacted by the realization, apparently I just HAD to come and share it here lol in this comment section, where it may go by completely unnoticed anyway!
Fingers crossed I guess!🤞
I love the cloak symbolism. Didnt notice it the first time watching it but did the second time. You're the first person I have seen mention it.
All I want is more TV shows featuring Ahsoka, and someday a movie with Ahsoka as a main character.
Well, you predicted it
The ending scene with the helmets reminded me a lot of S1 E15 on the moon of Pantora, where they find the dead clones and their helmets
I wonder if the blue crystals Anakin gives Ashoka later becomes the crystals Ashoka purifies to make her white lightsabers-Vader took her lightsaber at the end, most likely either collected it or turned it over to the empire for more inquisitors to make their red sabers.
Could be a cool turn around
could be, but unlikely. The inquisitors were already a thing before the clone troopers were phased out for storm troopers.
Did anyone else think that Hunter's (Clone Force 99) helmet looked A LOT like a Storm Trooper helmet.
And after the ending I felt soo thankful to Dave Filoni! The man is a genius for providing something so beautiful to us. Disney sucks balls for hiring incompetent idiots who made the sequels. None of the sequels come close to the quality of the Clone Wars.
The shot of the Y-Wings descending on the spherical building is taken directly from concept art for the Death Star run by Ralph McQuarrie.
The shot of Wat Tambor at 3m34s of this video reminds me of the scene in The Shawshank Redemption where the warden discovers Andy Dufresne's escape tunnel behind the poster. Even Wat Tambor's eyes look like the warden's spectacles.
I took Asohka's grey color robe to mean "Asohka the Grey" just like how Gandolf was Gandolf the Grey before bcoming "Gandolf the White:
*Gandalf
sorry.
I distictly remember that Ahsoka hid on level 1312, not 1313.
So fresh and so clean, clean.
Oh my gosh, it's been 2 years already since Clone Wars season 7 had ended? Time flies away so damn fast...
Ahsoka's grey cloak reminds me of Gandalf. After Gandalf “died”, he came back with white robes transformed from Gandalf the grey to Gandalf the white. And with Ahsoka, the whole galaxy (minus Rex) thought she was dead after that encounter. When she came back in Rebels, she transformed from Ahsoka the grey to Ahsoka the white.
Another connection, or "Easter Egg";
The Clone "Ninety-Nine," who had suffered numerous genetic and physical defects aa result of being malformed during the Cloning process and subsequently deemed unfit for service in the Army, instead providing janitorial and maintenance work in the Kaminoan Cloning facility made his first appearance in the amazing, "Domino Squad" arc, in which the Clones "Fives," "Hevy," "Cut-Up," "Droidbait," and "Echo," were shown as Clone Cadets during the final phases of their training prior to deployment.
Ninety-Nine was instrumental in helping the squad overcome their adversities, allowing them to successfully graduate, instead of being considered a "Bad Batch" by one of the members, Cut-Up. And their first real mission was at a Republic Army listening station outpost on the Rishi Moon.
Unfortunately, only two Clones would survive when the Separatists assaulted the Rishi Moon outpost, Echo and Fives. An assault that was necessary for the preparation of a larger Separatist attack on the Kaminoan Cloning facility itself, where Ninety-Nine would give his life while helping his Clone brothers mount a successful defense, and Fives and Echo would be recognized by Captain Rex and Commander Cody for their heroism and be awarded by being promoted to Arc Trooper status by Generals Obi-wan and Anakin Skywalker.
The two connections are; The Domino Squad referring to themselves as a "Bad Batch" and the Clone Ninety-Nine, which is the official name for the Bad Batch we see in season 7, who are called in to help Captain Rex mount a rescue of the last remaining surviving member of Domino Squad, Echo. 👍😊
Do we know the name of the Venator where most of the last story arc takes place?
Shailas Darkleigh I want to know that.
SS Minnow.
@@RedHeadKevin Ha!
Since it has R7 in it it might be the same one from the Malevolence arc
How can the Martez sisters arc have happen before the Bad Batch if it follows directly into the Seige of Mandalore. That would mean Bo Katan waited days or even weeks after recruiting Ahsoka to fight Maul to ask for the Jedi Council's help
It doesn't make sense either way. Anakin said that he was pulled from the outer rim sieges because Palpatine was kidnapped and that he hadn't seen Padme in forever. If he was on Coruscant just before that I feel like he would've found a way to sneak off and see her
Wait, I don't understand.
If Anakin's appearance above Coruscant in the Ahsoka's Walkabout Arc is meant to show that it occurred before the events of the Bad Batch Arc, during which he was WAY out in the Outer Rim Territories at Anaxes, then how does the Ahsoka's Walkabout Arc lead directly into the final Siege of Mandalore Arc?
How can Ahsoka's Walkabout take place BEFORE both the Bad Batch AND Siege of Mandalore Arcs, especially since the Siege of Mandalore is meant to be the very last Arc of episodes tying directly into Revenge of the Sith?!
Unless Anakin somehow makes it from that Ship with Admiral Yularen all the Way out to Anaxes to take part in the Rescue of Echo and then back again in time for Ahsoka and Bo Katan to find him and Obi-Wan?!
I don't know lol now my head hurts! 🤣
Two that were missed:
Clone Trooper Ridge was mentioned in the second-to-last episode as a casualty of Maul’s rampage. Ridge was first introduced in the Battle of Teth in the Clone Wars movie that launches the show.
Secondly, the show references Shaak Ti’s protection of the Chancellor, something that was seen in the 2D Clone Wars shorts that aired on Cartoon Network in 2003 if I recall correctly.
Someone commented in another video that the location of the Venator crash is one of the moons of bogden, which is actually where Dooku recruited jango. It ended where it all started, nice touch from Filoni
