if you join us before we begin I want you guys to get ready for tomorrow as
I've created the full breakdown for son of Dathomir the canon comic series that
explains what happened to Maul from season five in the Clone Wars to now as
when we saw him last he had just lost to Sidious and savage his brother had been
killed tons has happened to him since then with Dooku and grievous where he
even fights them and the comic explains it all so look out for that new series
coming tomorrow starting with issue number one
okay so hands down this is my favorite Clone Wars episode ever made this video
will be full of Easter eggs and things missed and breakdowns and all that so
buckle up and let's get right into it now I'm gonna say I have not felt like
this since the prequels were in theaters since I was a little kid I never knew it
was possible to still return to this amount of excitement and level of
tension after all of these years for an era that we thought was now just a nice
memory they did it Dave Filoni did it and most of all George Lucas did it
this was his vision after all the whole episode is literally teeming on the edge
of order 66 being executed they might as well have called it pre lewd to order 66
or order 66 is in the air we learned so much and now Revenge of the Sith will
never be the same for me this forever has changed how we see that movie in the
best way possible so it takes place as obi-wan is pretty much headed to T'Pau
so this is literally between this scene right here in Revenge of the Sith where
Anakin is denied the rank of Master and Obi went flying to Japan to kill
Grievous somewhere in between there might still be at the Jedi Temple where
he sends this message and on which you'll see a few minutes or it might
even be as he's on duty pal but I highly doubt that so this means that the next
episode will most likely have Anakin turning to the dark side and pushing the
12th episode further beyond order 66 I think maybe even with Anakin as Vader
already in the suit and Padme dead so let's begin with the full breakdown and
Easter egg hunt shall we we pick up right where we left
off in episode 9 with part 2 the fan than apprentice the phantom apprentice I
think and I could be wrong here is Anakin this is a play on Episode one
where everyone thought the Phantom Menace was Maul but the older I got the
more started to think that it was actually Palpatine who was the Phantom
Menace because he was disguised as a senator whereas Maul never wore a mask
so in this episode Anakin is the Phantom apprentice as this entire time he's been
coaxed into the role as Maul reveals to ahsoka maul circled ahsoka saying her
name isn't one he's too familiar with as he expected Kenobi she says he was busy
or mall Ponder's and says I wonder if the moment may be upon us he knows about
order 66 this is what he's talking about but of course no one has a clue what he
means yet however soon they will he explains that soon the Jedi and Republic
won't control the galaxy but Darth Sidious will as Rex and the boys come
into a sokka's aid Maul and ahsoka fight briefly where maul realizes order 66
hasn't happened yet as he says to himself not yet this means that if it
had happened then the clones would have shot her and not his men as Maul makes a
run for it ahsoka loses him and we get her Bo and Rex talking to Obi one
through Hollow ahsoka tells Kenobi about Sidious and
obi-wan recalls the time Dooku told him about this Sidious guy in Episode two he
then reveals that learning more from Dooku is pointless because Anakin has
killed him with Dooku gone they've lost the link to capture Sidious this shows
that if Anakin hadn't killed the handless prisoner of Dooku order 66
could have been prevented by the count spilling the beans which kind of brings
us to my animated fan fiction Once Upon a theory where Duke who actually reveals
that Palpatine is the Sith Lord Maul is the last piece of the missing puzzle and
Kenobi orders them to capture him ahsoka asks obi-wan to send more men
which he says he cannot because he's being sent to Japan to hunt General
Grievous as ahsoka asks about Anakin obi-wan tells her in private that Anakin
is on a special assignment as we get the Emperor's theme music playing he's been
sent to spy on the Chancellor finishes Kenobi ahsoka feels for her former
master and knows that Palpatine has been like a mentor to him
like a friend and that this mission can't be comfortable for him obi-wan
explains that it's best she speaks with Anakin herself and maybe comfort him he
tells her that he knows the council isn't always right and that's why he's
asking for her help to talk to him because she's not on the side of the
Jedi that much anyways and would be able to see things neutrally this makes me
wonder if she's actually going to talk to him if there's gonna be any time the
only time I could see at this point is I guess before Anakin goes to the
chancellor's office to quote-unquote save him from mace Windu maybe she
reaches out to him right before he goes to the Jedi Council Chambers as Master
Windu instructed as Rex comes in to inform ahsoka of an attack ahsoka asks
Kenobi to tell Anakin - which obi-wan just says I will she's most likely gonna
say tell him I miss him or you know I hope he's all right or I'll contact him
when this is done most likely tano gets to trooper sterling who is dying or
severely injured as he tells her that Maul took Jessie the clone to probe into
his mind as Maul speaks to Jessie he laughs and says uh clones bred for
combat all part of the plan this plan of course is order 66 Maul reveals he
wasn't even aware of its grand design but he played his part and was cast
aside forgotten mall isn't here to lead he's here just to survive in the chaos
to come he knows that order 66 will change the entire galaxy and that the
Jedi clones and the Republic mean nothing anymore so he's just going along
for the ride the next scene is ahsoka Bo and Rex going in to interrogate Olmec
they try to pry out of him how Maul plans to escape when the conversation
shifts real quick to the real plan the mall had which was to bring Obi one and
someone else in as Olmec is about to reveal who the other person is he gets
shot in the chest by gar Saxon and with his last breath he reveals the name
Skywalker as Vader's music plays softly in the background Bo and Saxon fight
until they're separated where we seem all talking to the Pyke's
black son and someone on the right who you might recognize Dryden voss from
solo he tells them all to go into hiding to prepare for what's to come this was
really cool to see and it ties things in very well now Lord Maul realizes that
him and Duke who weren't so different after all that they were both just tools
insidiousness plan mall reveals that in the chaos that will soon ensue the
galaxy will be reborn and as he speaks to the Mandalorians he says it is not in
their blood to hide in the sewers and that if they will die they will die on
the battlefield as warriors which is you know pretty much the greatest thing for
a mando bo Rex and ahsoka walk into the throne room where maul became the
rightful ruler under trial by combat with Pre Vizsla he sits there and
deflects the shots fired by Bo balls powers are immense much more than we
give him credit for he simply moves his fingers and the
bolts just sway to the side in midair as the war ensues ahsoka implores Wrexham
boat to go fight and leave her that she can take care of this as Maul watches
the war which is really one of the most stunning scenes that I've seen in Clone
Wars especially when the glass breaks in about a minute here he tells us oka how
blissfully ignorant they all are to what is about to happen he tells her that she
left the Jedi because of their hypocrisy but they're both just tools for two
higher powers him for the Sith for Sidious and her for the Jedi Council now
my favorite quote in this episode is from all right here and it's where he
says justice is merely at the construct of the current power base a base to
which according to my calculations is about to change
Lord Maul reveals Sidious is behind everything in the shadows ahsoka asked
small to tell the council about Sidious to save the Republic where he tells her
that the Republic is gone that there is no order or law except for the one that
replaces it this means that the Republic the Clone Wars the separatists
everything doesn't matter anymore for what's about to actually come he then
out stretches his hand and says join me together we can kill Sidious now we all
know them all and ahsoka couldn't take on Palpatine but Maul is hopeful ahsoka
accepts which to me was very crazy to see her do but I mean Maul makes a good
point together they can bring down a bigger evil and then Maul can be dealt
with later as she accepts she asks him for one thing what do you want with
Anakin Skywalker Maul reveals that he is the key to destroy not to bring balance
he has been groomed well for the role as cities his apprentice
this whole war was mauls plan to lure anakin here with Kenobi to kill him and
thus depriving Sidious of his prized pupil now there are so many new fan
fictions and theories that I'm dying to make now from this I mean what if Anakin
went to Mandalore what if the so could join Maul
what if Anakin killed Maul what if Anakin lost them all there's just so
many different avenues we can take in places where the story can actually end
up ahsoka ignites her sabers and says she knows
Anakin and that his vision is flawed maul ignites his and received a
different hilt this hilt is actually taken from asajj ventress and as he
strikes we hear Sidious is famous for scream which in legends is used to
disorient the opponent by shattering through the force now I'm not sure if
this is a little key to show us that as Maul launches for ahsoka
Palpatine launches at the Jedi during Revenge of the Sith I really don't think
it's the same moment because we're supposed to get that scene in the Clone
Wars which doubles the scene from Revenge of the Sith
the one where mace windu says I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi so maybe they
just added that in there for a nostalgic effect or maybe Maul did the force cream
himself you know he learned it from his master that's that's what I think really
happened as Maul in a souca fight the coolest Clone Wars lightsaber battle
I've ever seen thanks to Rey Park who did motion capture and Asoka's was
performed by Lauren Mary Kim who also did the stunts and fighting for the
armor and the Mandalorian they did an absolutely amazing job and the whole
fight scene it was just really cool ahsoka launches Maul out of the window
but before she does this she tells him that he's lucky Anakin didn't come
because he'd have destroyed Maul now of course ahsoka you know as he loves her
master and all that but I had truly do think that Anakin would have taken Maul
I don't think it would have been easy but I think he would have defeated Maul
for sure especially Revenge of the Sith Anakin that's like a completely
different level Anakin from episode two or anything else
the clones beat kar Saxon and his troops and bows Death Watch advanced with the
clones to take Mandalore under their control until Mallis captured to which
the Republic's forces will leave as ahsoka follows maul onto a scaffold
where he tells gar Saxon that he's out of here and to die well ahsoka stops him
and the to fight on literal beams which was a really intense fight
to see ray park is Darth Maul and knocked the fight out of the park no pun
intended as mall ship arrives his escape is interrupted by ahsoka as he grabs her
wrists and throws her sabers out of her hands to the depths of Mandalore below
we know she most likely won't get these Sabres back as she makes new crystals
from the Sith inquisitors crystals by purifying them from red to white this is
in the ahsoka novel maul gets thrown off the beam and ahsoka holds him in midair
as the clones surround him in the LA 80 gunships where Maul is just going
berserk is he going insane at this point screaming you're all going to burn we're
all going to die as he's captured and taken away at least until order 66
happens to which he'll probably break free somehow and steal the dark saber or
something until we see him in rebels ahsoka feels heavy and looks to the sky
where Maul ship was going to grab him as she feels an impending doom near end of
the episode created by George Lucas this whole episode was absolutely amazing I
really never felt so captivated in a show in my entire life the first few
seconds had me on the edge of my seat and I really give it a 6 out of 5 which
I know it doesn't make sense but hey it was that good for me hope you enjoyed
this breakdown and all the things missed and I hope you'll join me next week in
next week's breakdown for episode 11 we really only have two episodes left I
can't wait to see these I'm really excited for and I can't wait to see what
happens as we go into order 66 have an awesome rest of your day thanks for
joining me today and until next time remember the force will be with you
always
destiny
