Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my Star Wars Clone Wars
season 7 episode 2 video a distant echo there were a whole bunch of Easter eggs
so we'll break it all down if you're new to my channel be sure to subscribe to
get all the Clone Wars episodes it's the final season and we're doing a Disney
Plus giveaway all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and let me know
if you think that Anakin notice that Padme is super pregnant in this episode
obviously careful for spoilers if you haven't seen the episode yet we'll do
top 10 and Easter eggs as we go along there are a bunch of Easter eggs
so starting with number 10 it picks up with them returning to the base on an
axis Anakin is pretty sure the council will approve the mission to save Eko you
have to remember that there is still a hierarchy the council still approves
these war missions that they go on they're controlling a lot of the war
effort the reason why Palpatine set it up that way is so that he could position
the Jedi as this faction that's controlling the war so if things went
badly which sometimes they did per his machination x' he could point at the
Jedi if the Senate got really pissed that they lost a battle in blamed the
Jedi for that so it's all part of his grand plan to turn popular opinion
against the Jedi as he slowly destroys them quietly from the shadows obviously
we're not quite - Revenge of the Sith territory yet number 9 we learned that
Anakin has been skyping with Padme secretly but the clones obviously Rex
knows about it so he's been hiding it from obi-wan Kenobi this whole time
which is funny because it turns out that obi-wan Kenobi knows all about it too
but this just sort of gives you the context for how they maintained their
relationship during the Clone Wars because that lasted for a couple of
years they got married secretly at the end of Attack of the Clones so when we
originally saw the prequels you were just kind of left to wonder how their
relationship played out while Anakin was busy running around the galaxy amidst
the Clone Wars turns out just a whole lot of secret Skype sessions but I do
love Rex's reaction to this and when he tries to mislead obi-wan Kenobi and
it'll be when is this like you're going to have to do way better than that you're
terrible at lying Padme gives him some sage advice as
usual she's the more wise one out of this relationship I think that's part of
the idea it gives you a better idea for why she was able to become a senator
when she was so young but a lot of Anakin's storyline is a mirror for Rex's
storyline like the whole the episode the search for truth begins
with belief having believed having faith so anakin needs to have more faith
speaking of easter eggs there's a poster behind them I don't read Arabesh
obviously like but I believe if you decode this there's probably some sort
of Easter egg any time there's written language on a big poster or something in
the background usually they find a way to work in Easter egg into that so if
you are super hardcore and you can read our Arabesh just write below what that
poster says in the comments number eight though obviously obi-wan Kenobi lets us
know that he knew all about Anakin and Padme the entire time of course he's not
a dumbass I love the way he sort of calls Anakin on it too like he lets him
know I know exactly what's happening when he says I hope you at least told
Padme hello and he gives Anakin pause like he halts in his tracks for a
second and thinks about it like wait a minute how am I going to play this oh well
we'll just brush it off like nothing bad happened and he just walks away obi-wan
Kenobi gets really flustered at the fact that he's not following proper Jedi and
military protocols throwing caution to the wind it's just more classic Anakin
he's been like this the whole time but obviously by the time we get to Revenge
of the Sith it's all about him trying to save Padme when he starts getting the
forest visions of the future thinking that she's going to die so this is just
laying the seeds for him really going off-book so to speak in saving Palpatine
eventually becoming Darth Vader of the Sith number seven hunter tells
Anakin that he's not totally sure who their special clone Force 99 commando
force reports to exactly but they have worked with Commander Cody in the past
this is another one of those moments where it seems like Palpatine pulling
the strings from behind where he's playing both sides of the war to his
advantage they've addressed this in previous seasons when they've done the
setup for order 66 where you have Count Dooku talking to Emperor Palpatine when
he's acting as Darth Sidious like he has his hood up and he's speaking with his
Darth Sidious voice it's just more the idea that a lot of the clones don't
really know what's going on like clone Force 99 isn't totally sure where they
get their orders from they just go in they wreck stuff where they blow stuff
up you look in the background you see wreckers lifting a gonk droid we saw a
bunch of those on the Mandalorian series number 6 though the Dragon Riders of sky
co minor also reminding you of the myth the swords of ancient Mandalore from the
Mandalorian series when he was trying to ride the blerg
your ancestors rode the ancient mythos or surely he
can ride this silly creature from the Ewok movies that's right if you don't
remember the Borg is actually from the Ewok TV movies we've never seen the pull
text before but they talk about their quote unquote flying reptiles is
basically them flying dragons around which is still pretty cool but they
carry Anakin off he loses his lightsaber again which is a bit of a running gag in
Star Wars movies Anakin losing his lightsaber obi-wan
Kenobi getting pissed off at him for losing his lightsaber don't lose this
this weapon is your life they spent a lot of episode one setting up clone
Force 99 s different abilities that they have their super clones basically so
they're super badass so hunters able to catch a ride and then it becomes number
five the clones versus the pole techs to try and save Anakin but obviously it's a
bit of a misdirect like they caused a big rock slide you see that they
probably take them pretty easily but the whole idea is the pole techs don't want
to have anything to do with their war it was pretty clear that they didn't want
to hurt Anakin but it takes tech to coating their language to find out
exactly what's going on then Anakin is able to explain to them what the techno
Union the separatists and Wat Tambor are doing on their planet no this is the
reason why the war came here because the separatists are using it as a secret
base I kind of expected them to take this storyline with the politics a
little bit deeper I expected there to be a little bit more going on here but it
was really more about them just finding common ground and helping them get to
that secret base so number four Wat Tambor comes back if you don't remember
him he's been in a couple of the movies he was in attack of the clones and he
was in Revenge of the Sith he also does some stuff after the events of Revenge
of the Sith in the expanded material when the separatists wound up losing the
war at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith what happened is is that a lot of
their forces including wat Tambor and some of the techno Union just went
around raising scorching the earth it was very Lord of the Rings scorching of
the Shire kind of event and if you're not a big Lord of the Rings fan don't
worry there's going to be an Amazon Lord of the Rings series that I'll be doing
episode videos for I'll talk about all that stuff when that premieres but I
don't think that's going to be till next year we learned the record even though
he's super badass super strong is afraid of heights I think that's just giving
the other clones of clones force 99 more personality that's the whole idea is
that they're different than the other clones number 3 classic Star Wars
trope as they're infiltrating the base they tell them they're going to do it nice
and quiet things are going to go real quickly they're going to slip in
get echo come out but things go completely off the rails immediately
they just start hacking their way through all the droids a lot of cool
Anakin Skywalker Lightsaber action in close quarters
Wat Tambor also reminds them that he allowed them to do this he predicted
their every move because of their quote unquote secret algorithm but then they
call him on that bullcrap because they know it's echo that's feeding them the
information they just don't know how it's happening so number two Rex finds
echo and it's a huge moment welcome back echo haven't seen you in a couple
seasons looking a little bit different we find out that the techno Union has
basically been taking the information directly from echos brain this whole
time ever since the events of season 3 the reason why they turned him into a
cyborg is so that they could take the information from his mind and control
him keeping him from escaping.
What have they done to you?!
I have to get to the shuttle...
Escape the Citadel...
I love the way they play that heartbreaking scene
Obviously Rex is probably the most well developed
clone character from the Star Wars saga because his story extends all the way
into Star Wars rebels in the future but I'll talk more about this when we get to
order 66 territory later in the season I'm hoping that there's some overlap
with order 66 and they're trying to set this up to let you sympathize more with
the clones when they're forced to turn against the Jedi but if you don't
remember Rex is one of the characters that did not turn against the Jedi
because he was able to remove his bio implant chip you also noticed that a lot
of the echo cybernetic parts seemingly foreshadow Anakin Skywalker's eventual
future when he's anointed Darth Vader then his body is destroyed on moussa far
everyone post your high ground memes then Emperor Palpatine uses technology
to turn him into a cyborg effectively to keep him alive so number one huge
what happened to echo after the events of season 3 he remembers who he is but
doesn't immediately remember how he got here how he was turned into a cyborg but
he does start reciting lines of dialogue from the last episode that he appeared
in what happened is that after the Republic forces left the separatists
came back in they found him barely alive and then sold him to the techno Union
who then hacked his mind and has been using him for information for the past
few seasons to give the separatists a major advantage in all their big
battles all the information they were able to steal from him clearly helped a
lot they kind of addressed that at the beginning of season 7 episode 1 but
there's still a lot of big republic wins in the war so it's not like he
completely turned the tide of battle a lot of the end of the war will overlap
with the later episodes in the beginning of Revenge of the Sith they did say that
there would be crossover with the events of Avenger that said like anakin
learning the Padme was pregnant but we don't know exactly how many episodes and
how far into the plot of Revenge of the Sith this is going to go this is a bunch
of ahsoka a bunch of Mandalorian stuff coming up so if you spotted any big
Easter eggs in the episode that I didn't mention in the video just write them
below in the comments and obviously my episode 3 video will post next week I'll
put a link for all my Clone Wars episodes in the description everyone
