if you join us this episode was absolutely amazing I don't think there
was a moment where I wasn't engaged there are lots of Tears and excitement
and not really any joy just a lot of anticipation of what's to come next
before we get started on this break down I want you all to join me on may the
fourth around 12 a.m. Pacific Standard Time where I'm gonna hold a watch party
around the world on the channel where we can all tune in and watch the last
episode of the Clone Wars live now I won't be showing the actual episode as
that's illegal but I will be putting a time stamp at the top of the screen
where we can all start it at the same moment and watch it on our respective
screens so join me this May 4th 12:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time okay so
here is this episode Mandalore is now under control of BOE however once order
66 is executed I don't think the clones will leave quietly and thus this is
possibly where the purge may have happened perhaps we'll find out in the
next episode bo tells ahsoka that her sister tried to be a different kind of
leader but her kind of idealism was never understood
Rex interrupts to tell ahsoka that the council is ready to speak with her
regarding mauls capture now this is important because this scene is
literally this scene right here in Revenge of the Sith where Mason Anakin
speak to Ciotti Mundi Yoda and Aayla Secura on hallo as Cody then later
interjects to say obi-wan has engaged grievous mace tells Anakin to inform the
Chancellor of the news and to gauge his reaction on Grievous's near capture and
it can then leave to the chancellor's office where we'll get the scene that
has Palpatine manipulating him with the whole they don't trust you and don't you
wonder why they don't make you a Jedi Master
leading to Palpatine revealing his identity as the Sith Lord ahsoka asks
Rex if Skywalker was there and he says Anakin was there at the meeting when I
left to get you so I'm thinking Rex called the Jedi Council before Cody did
because after Cody's transmission Anakin's was already gone so this
episode of the Clone Wars is filling in that scene from the start and end of its
transitions in the film which is because at many points in the film now
we know what's going on in the Clone Wars in these animated episodes I mean
when ahsoka gets to speak to the Jedi Masters it's a replay of the scene in
the film where Windu says I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi the dark side of the
force surrounds the Chancellor this scene is verbatim the same scene in
Revenge of the Sith just animated in the Clone Wars which is the first time this
has actually happened as that scene in the film swipes away to reveal Anakin in
the chancellor's office to inform him of grievous being engaged we don't cut away
in the Clone Wars we continued that very scene with the Jedi and ahsoka walks in
she's congratulated by Master Yoda for her service to the Republic where she
sets the record straight by saying she did it as a citizen not as a Jedi at
least not yet this shows that ahsoka is open to
returning as a Jedi perhaps someday at some point I mean it's a big maybe but
it's possible and it could be on the table you know she says not yet we get
to see that ahsoka knows her abilities can do more good for the galaxy if she
was aware of more the things that are going on and this can possibly be done
through the council if she were to return perhaps she'd operate more like
Master qui-gon jinn more rogue and living by her own standards maybe not
part of the council but eventually a Jedi Master ahsoka says shall escort
Maul to course hunt with Rex which honestly dude this would have been so
cool to see because then we'd be near the Jedi Temple perhaps when order 66
goes down just missing Anakin by a sliver as she doesn't know who is behind
all of this just yet and definitely doesn't want to believe it tano says she
was hoping to speak with general Skywalker but Mei says he sent him to go
reveal the news to the Chancellor ahsoka says the war is almost over and Mei says
it all depends on the Chancellor she asks what that means when mace as usual
in his snarky elitist tone says sorry citizen Jedi business only basically
they all leave the call except for Master Yoda who senses a sokka's
discomfort this is something Master Yoda was always really good with especially
with Padawans of his own or even just those in the temple he could always
sense when something was on their mind and didn't hesitate to address it and
talk to them about it this is something I felt that Master Windu never really
did and I really empathize with how Anakin just
kinda thought he was a jerk Master Yoda senses she wants to say something more
perhaps something for Anakin this is a sokka's moment to tell you what she
found out about Anakin this literally could have saved the entire Jedi Order
and avoided order 66 with the Jedi storming of chancellor's office
immediately if she just told Yoda what Maul had said about his master training
Anakin to be his apprentice since day one they'd put two and two together and
know that Palpatine for sure is the Sith Lord this would really change everything
Anakin wouldn't have turned or if he would have he tried to fight the entire
Jedi Council but I mean that really wouldn't work very well chosen one or
not Palpatine would be arrested and that
would be the end of that or Anakin Palpatine would maybe shoot some Force
Lightning or at least Palpatine would and they would just jump out the window
and try to catch a shuttle or something like that maybe I'll make this into an
animation for fun one day anyways if ahsoka arrived just a little bit sooner
by a few minutes she would have caught Anakin and she would have been able to
tell him about mauls vision for herself and he'd put two and two together like
what he saw on mortis then knowing to stay as far away from the Chancellor or
at least from trusting him as he could especially after Palpatine revealed his
true identity as the Sith Lord ahsoka says I'll tell him myself when I see him
when Yoda says may the force be with you I don't want meaning I'm thinking he
acknowledges her as still a Jedi Padawan which is pretty cool to hear from the
grand master or maybe he's just you know calling her by what he always used to
call her either way I think it's pretty endearing we get Bo and Sabine Ren's mom
walking towards the LA 80 gunship with Maul in a relic of a bygone era a device
used to imprison force wielding enemies back from the old days of the
Mandalorian Empire ahsoka and bo say goodbye with a firm handshake as maul is
escorted to the Venator with the fire first and tano the scene shows maul and
ahsoka feeling a massive uncertainty in the force as they're in the ship mall is
just locked up in this machine like Hannibal Lecter and all we can see of
him are his eyes telling the story of his thoughts and emotions to capture
this in animation is very hard to do much harder than live action so it's
just another brilliant thing that Lucasfilm did here we see the bridge of
the Venator and all the clones salute ahsoka for the last time as she stands
with rex telling him that all she's ever known as war
that the Jedi trained one to be keepers of the Peace not soldiers but all she's
really known is anything but peace rex tells her that without the war the
clones wouldn't really exist showing that there's some good that has come
from this the to share a heartfelt moment as they salute their friendship
when commander rex is interrupted on a new briefing that's come in yeah you
know what's about to happen this part was super emotional because we all know
what's coming this is the last moment before everything changes forever
ahsoka tells him to go on without her as she's sure it's just more good news oh
how wrong she could ever be we cut to maul meditating or at least what the
Sith version of that would be which is just kind of feeling the force and his
eyes open in surprise as we hear the scene from Revenge of the Sith with the
original voices of Hayden Samuel Jackson and Ian McDermott we can see this
confirmed in the credits as well if he didn't notice now the final voice of
what have I done sounded like Matt Lanter and it actually
was we can also see that in the credits - it's mixed with Hayden
we know Anakin has just taken the hand of Master Windu and Sidious has killed
him unleashing unlimited power ahsoka staggers in immense pain to her
head as she feels order 66 is about to occur and runs to Rex to inform him
something has happened to Anakin where order 66 has just been executed his
helmet shakes and the clones turn to kill ahsoka when Rex stalls and kills
some time for his sokka's safety delaying order 66 now I believe this is
due to his unique relationship with her and that order 66 needed a few seconds
more at least for him to completely overwrite his mind and control him even
with his strong will unique personality and connection to ahsoka to protect her
with his life this is how he was actually able to resist it for a few
seconds longer than the other clones at least in my opinion he draws his
blasters on her as he holds back tears which is an immensely emotional scene
and you can see how much pain he is in both physically and mentally
telling her to find fives find him and then finally shoots her executing his
orders ahsoka of course dodges them all and gets out of the way igniting her
sabers it was such an insanely intense Sene I wish I could watch it over and
over again for the first time and in fact I watched this episode four times
and each time I saw it it just got more and more intense the Soka cuts a hole in
the roof and escapes that way which is was kind of interesting to me because
anakin has done that in Episode three where he cut into the floor and escaped
that way we can see this in a deleted scene from Revenge of the Sith in the
very beginning on the invisible hand ship Rex rounds up his men and tells
them to go kill Maul as he's not a Jedi but he is a force wielder and I guess
that's all the same in this scenario of order 66 as he's an enemy of the
Republic or you know soon the Empire the music here if you pay attention is the
same as the scene where Anakin can be seen on Mustafar crying which I've
covered in a separate video years ago as to why and it's not because he's killed
younglings but in fact because he is so far from the vision he had of himself as
a young boy intent oween full of dreams and hope to one day become a Jedi that
he sees the Anakin he is now is so far from that vision that he was actually
crying maul sees the Shock Troopers coming in to kill him and he is unable
to do anything we see some worry and panic in his eyes now this device here
it seems to impede his force abilities of some sort I'm guessing because I
wanted to see Maul just use his mind to you know push the clones into the
ceiling knock them out or you know do do something full-on destroy the device
that was restraining him and break free to save himself
so I'm feeling like those inscriptions or the weird things inside are kind of
like kryptonite for force users ahsoka saves him by pushing clones around with
the force but I think it would have been cooler to see Maul break free using his
own powers and not be saved by Sokka for the second time the first time being in
the last episode when she held him from falling Maul reveals he now understands
the full genius of his Master's plan that he turned the entire Grand Army of
the Republic against Jedi whereas Sokka finally understands the
magnitude of what's going on he asks for her lightsaber which would have been fun
to see Maul with the Kenobi blue blade from ahsoka but hey after ahsoka runs to
learn of the inhibitor chips from some astromech droids seeing Rex's hologram
talking about how these chips are used for something that they don't really
know about but it could be sinister we actually see Maul like a released wild
animal in the orders of the Venator using the force to
literally impale clones in his way this was a similar scene
- of course Vader in rogue one and the mando hunting the scoundrels from
Episode six which we also saw Matt Lanter in who is the voice of animated
Anakin ahsoka asks the droids for help and they trapped Rex in a corridor of
Seagal doors she appears through a hologram on a droid to tell him that the
chip has controlled his mind where he pulls his gun
a moment later to demand where she is order 66 has full control now and it's
too late for any of them she shows up behind him and he is shocked unconscious
by the droids who electrocute him and then take him to a medical bay with her
as she decides to operate on him immediately taking his chip out now at
first she can't find it and she pulls the whole turd in we seen which I guess
he pulled the whole ahsoka scene since this is before all that and she's saying
I'm one with the force the force is with me and eventually the chip is then found
so I feel like doing this kind of you know clears the he gbgs out of the the I
don't of the force or something like that it maybe just helps the force to
glide smoothly because at first the chip wasn't able to be found now while the
machine is operating on Rex is bringing to take the chip out clones start
breaking through the door whereas oka tries to deflect all the blasts doing a
bit of a better job than ki-adi-mundi who unfortunately didn't get a bit of a
buffer time like she did to prepare herself she deflects the blast until one
finally gets her and she slows down death is near as Rex wakes up and we see
his blasters fire but we don't know what he fired at until we see it's the clones
that he killed protecting her meaning he killed his own brothers to protect
ahsoka the doors closed shut thanks to the droids the chip is gone and ahsoka
asks if he's okay Rex says I'm okay kid he informs ahsoka that he was being
controlled to kill her through his chip and that he's sorry that the entire
Grand Army of the Republic is now under the control of this chip that every Jedi
Knight is now under friendly fire ordered to be destroyed the blast doors
start to break open with sparks as we roll to the credits now the next episode
will be May 4th so just a few days from now so make sure you grab your popcorn
and join me in the live stream watch a long part
around the world where I'll put up a timer on the screen and we can all sit
back and watch it together now it may be a little bit different for me as it
usually launches May 4th at like 12:30 a.m. but if you're willing to watch it
out all together live with the community then cool I'll see you there
this was the most moving episode that I've seen for sure while the last one
was tense and action-packed lots of cool fight scenes this one you knew a big
build-up was happening and this one had all the pent up feels and now 15 years
later I feel the exact same way I did when I was just 15 years old when
Revenge of the Sith came out it was order 66 all over again and I'm so happy
we actually got to see this I teared up pretty heavily when ahsoka
was fighting all of the clones cuz it was just it was so terrible to see that
you know we've grown up with these characters and they were just they've
now gone rogue has actually happened you know that they were so close to ahsoka
they loved her that respected her and she loved them back and now they're just
trying to kill her all because of cities is chip the next
episode will probably be during Anakin's time on Mustafar and then turning into
Darth Vader I'm guessing perhaps ahsoka and Rex will go to course on to help
Anakin escaping the Venator via an escape pod or something and maybe
they'll have to hide somewhere else you know not on course and actually maybe
you know for a long time they'll have to stay hidden unable to go to course on
entirely I could see them getting the signal from the Jedi Temple that city is
put out to lure the Jedi in operation nightfall to kill them the one that
obi-wan later turned off in episode 3 and this episode was a trip and I really
can't wait to see the final conclusion to this four-part story and the Clone
Wars as a whole it's been an amazing journey I can only hope that they'll
make more Clone Wars arcs more animated shows like this and I think through the
fandom and our support we can really help make that happen
we just have to unite our love for Star Wars come together and ask them for more
SiC Clone Wars arts or you know animated shows hey Dave continue the story of
ahsoka we want to know where she goes after it rebels thank you everyone for
watching this video I hope you have an awesome rest of your day and may the
force be with
