5 DEEP Scenes that revealed the Genius of the Writers in the Clone Wars

“Saddest scene in the show” *Fives will remember that*

I just noticed that in the scene where Waxer died, he had a picture of the Twilek girl he met on Ryloth painted on his helmet. That's so sad

"Saddest scene of the show" *angry 99 noises*

Saddest Scenes *Obi-Wan holding Satine’s lifeless body after Maul kills her*

Literally every episode in the Umbaran Arc in my opinion😢 RIP Hardcase and Waxer

Isn't it weird after how many years we still gather to talk about the clone wars

I can't wait to show this gem to my children and say kids these were the glory days.

Did anyone not have a sense of satisfaction when that laser bolt went through Krell?

For me at least, done well. Politics makes Star Wars so much more interesting then the constant grind of good vs evil. Done well, it adds much needed nuance.

The politics was actually dope, you get to see all sides of star wars in the show. Well almost all. This show was a masterpiece

My siblings : "I'm gonna tell on you to dad" Me as a kid : *death glare* "I'll tell him myself"

Something else that was very noteworthy of Waxer's death was he sheds the first tear that is every seen in the show, as it was stated in the special features discussing the Umbara arc.

Boba was secretly very protective about Clones. why? they were his father's legacy. Jango's reward for killing that Jedi that Dooku was after. when Boba learned Kamino stopped its cloning protection when the Empire came into power, Boba was outraged on the inside because this meant that the army Jango trained would no longer exist, meaning Jango's legacy would fade away. no more Clones = no more Jango. there are numerous reasons why Boba couldn't kill Clones, almost all of them were personal

That was 1 of 5 of the saddest episodes. They were tricked into killing their own brothers. If you played the OG battlefront two, the empire does it again in Kamino in "Changing of the guard"

More shows need to be like the Clone wars. Push the story, take chances, make a show that even when someones young and they might dislike an aspect of it, they'll come back one day and realize new things and fall in love again. Also I hope disney didnt mess with the Clone wars. Hopefully it continues being as great as it was.

Ahsoka watching whilst Anakin dealt with his past as a slave in the Season 4 Slave arc was a great scene as well. We got to see Anakin showing has anger in front of Ahsoka and Obi-Wan rather than hiding it. It's a hint that maybe, Anakin's problems should have been noticed earlier.

The exchange between Anakin and Ahsoka when she left the Jedi Order when he tried to return her lightsabers and when she revealed she knew why he was tempted to leave as well is all the more tragic as it revealed how close the two of them had become that he couldn't hide even that from her.

The PLO Koon “not to me” scene is still one of the single greatest things ever.

The whole dramatic atmosphere of season 6 was incredible too. When that clone (Fives ? Dont remember) finds out the purpose of this army, which is about rebelling and killing everyone they fought for. When everyone thinks him crazy, breaks my heart

6:52 You didn't even mention the fact that Yoda is talking the Thire, the clone that would lead the manhunt against Yoda. It presents this wholesome moment with the knowledge that later Yoda would be hunted for by that same person.

This show was the best of everything Star Wars in one beautiful series.

Fives’ and Ahsoka leaving arc were the greatest ones. That shit was movie quality

Nah, the friendly fire was hella impactful, but Five's death will always be the saddest to me.

This show was more than just a children’s show. It grew as its audience did. Friday nights at 8pm😢

The "our plan" scene actually did a better job teaching me not to be greedy than any other cartoon

9:53 that isn't no ordinary clone that is waxer or boil, someone we knew from all the way back from the siege of ryloth. That really hit home because I loved those 2 so much as a child and it broke me seeing clones fighting clones

Heavy doesn’t even get mentioned for sacrificing himself for his brothers

I hope we get beautiful scenes like this in the final season.

"All aboard the bus down memory lane! See that character you liked? He's dead now." Still, it was a brave show, unafraid of its audience, and willing to take chances. While that mentality can backfire, it's sometimes better to fail doing that than fail while being cowardly. You still need to be good at it, but it worked for them.

This is my list 1. Waxer’s Death 2. Ashoka Leaving the Jedi Order 3. Five’s Death 4. Thorn’s Death 5. 99’s Death

Umbara is one of if not the best arc of the show with this scene being a masterpiece. Plus you can see the shots still going through the air

"Deep scenes" Fives, Satine, and Ashoka will remember that

The death of the dutchess, and the death of Fives were the 2 that hit the hardest for me

“Waxer’s death was the saddest scene of the show” Ahsoka leaving the Jedi: Am I Joke to you?

RIP Ponds, gone too soon.

My therapist: it's okay. Frinedly fire isn't real. It can't hurt you. Frinedly fire: 8:11

The writers seemingly had much more creative freedom while making the Clone Wars series because the Lucasfilm, "Story Group," of that time consisted of Dave Filoni, Katie Lucas, (amongst others,) but with George Lucas himself sitting at the head of the table. Every decision made either came directly from, or had to be run by, George Lucas. You can call that, "creative freedom," or, you can admit that George Lucas truly IS a genius who knows the subject matter better than anyone living, and during the Production had far more time to fully flesh out his ideas. (As opposed to the limited time allowed within the constraints of a feature length film.) Sure, he's had a couple, "missteps." Especially the first two of three Prequel movies. But, there are fans who were introduced to Star Wars with the Phantom Menace who would NEVER consider the prequel trilogy to be, "missteps," at all. And, every age group has their favorite Star Wars era. With very few people enjoying all of the content from every time period equally. But, watch some Clone Wars, "behind the scenes," or, "making of," and you'll see there was a table of writers, but ALWAYS with George at the head and Dave Filoni by his side.

To top our list we have "Frinedly Fire"

Yoda: "Always two there are. No more. No less." Count Dooku, General Grievious, Assaj Ventress, and Savage Oppress: "I have a bad feeling about this"

I have to say this show was a hell of a thrill ride I loved it when it got dark and god I loved Yoda in the scene with the Clones it just put a smile on my face seeming him talk to them that way and how much it meant to them as well but still that fight between the clone on Umbara gave me chills and still does that whole thing just felt so messed up and made me happy when Krell was taken down

I wish the clone wars writers wrote episode 7, 8 & 9

Geetsly's: Waxer's Death is the saddest scene in the show Fives: Am I a joke to you

The scene where Maul kills The Mandalorian Queen in front of Obi-Wan, and the look on his Obi Wan's face.

5:00 the only time we openly saw Sidious uncloaked and plotting his ascension to power

To be honest, I am a confederate supporter, but that friendly fire scene really hit you in the feels. RIP Waxer.

99 did not run supplies to have his memory disrespected luke that

I never thought about how Boba hesitated to kill ponds since he looked exactly like Jango

Back when Star Wars showed the true cruelty of war now everything is jokes, smiles and no sense like in the Sequels Disney turned Star Wars into a joke

The build up of Fives character and then his death is the best part of the series.

Saddest moment in the whole series is actually the moment when you realize that the episode your watching is actually the last one

I‘m 28 and was probably a little too old for clone wars when it came out, but I just finished watching it the first time and I was blown away and these moments really stood out to me, too

That scene with Palpatine is one of the best scenes in the show. He seems to have that quiet rage in him about losing the "battle". Even though he ultimately won doesn't mean he didn't suffer any setbacks even minor ones.

I remember seeing ambush. I was 8 years old. I knew then that This show was going to be great. How great, I did not know. But damn I loved growing up with the show

"Yoda in his prime" *is 800 years old*

I really enjoyed Ashoka's character, she's what a well written woman character should look like! The clones are awesome too!

The Umbara scenes' music really pushes it to the next level, no doubt in my top 3 favorite arcs.

Rest in peace Fives, may the force be with you

This show is almost more about the clones than the jedi. I loved it for this reason! (not saying the jedi stuff is bad)

The Umbara scene was one of the few of the clone wars, or any show for that matter, that made me shed some tears. Like you said, the fog, the animation, and the desperation in Rex’s voice really sold it, and so did the music. Such an intense and shocking scene that made that entire arc. I don’t think I can name any other show that got the same kind of reactions out of me that the clone wars did.

Yes. I completely agree with with you. Sadness, & beauty. A sweet flower ..on fire. The tragedy of war, for peace.

I always had a good feeling about this show.

Death of fives was by far the most emotional moment of the show

"Your faces I wish to see." That scene always gets me. That's one of my absolute favorite scenes in the entire show. And "friendly fire" still makes me tear up to this day it's worse because it has happened before in real life wars.

The Battle of Umbara: Clones vs Clones was such an iconic, beautiful, epic scene! The writing is great! The music is great!

8:10 Frinedly Fire

"But I'm not coming back nastier. " -Ashoka Tano Me in the background crying my eyes out

Yes! I loved Padme's Teckla speech and Riyo Chuci is so funny when she cheer lol

I really loved fictional politics. Showed how in-depth the war got.

Fun fact: In the series there’s only 2 times where’s the clones actually cried, one is waxer on his death and the other is rex during order 66, both related with clones killing clones

Great list. Agree with everything you said and I appreciate the in depth analysis BUT I’ve gotta put my horse in the race: Ahsoka’s jedi trial. Here we see the jedi essentially cannibalizing one of their own for the sake of politics. Ahsoka’s growth from the start of the series, Anakin’s turmoil which would lead him to the dark side, and the jedi turning a blind eye to an innocent child being used as a sacrificial lamb. The jedi messed up, and they never changed, only doubled down on their blind ideologies. The entire scene boils down what went wrong with the jedi. Instead of having a rightful trial, the jedi went forward blindly and held the meeting as a formality.

The clones fighting each other without realizing was the most memorable part of the show for me. Even years after I stopped watching I still think about that scene

Ooof that intro made me go back to the OG battlefront days. The nostalgia..

I love these types of videos that praise the clone wars Eritrea’s and story. Honestly this show is simply magnificent in soundtrack character development and just overall it shows us the clone wars Ben kenobi talked about in episode 4. I can’t wAit for the new season

I’m glad Ambush was the first episode for the clone wars, it had a even balance of showing much about the Jedi and clones, a great way to start a absolutely beautiful masterpiece series

the clone wars had serious depth to its writing. One of the best cartoon series i have ever seen. Ashoka leaving was so moving also and it foreshadowed Anakin's betrayal of the jedi.

Not gonna lie, I basically cried and died a little inside during waxers death

Clone wars is by far the greatest thing we got from star wars

Luminara: "Your ways are sloppy, amateurish!" Ventres: "NAOOOOUHH!!!" *Jumps*

The Clone Scene with Rex was so amazing for the show also waxers armor looks so awsome but his death was so tragic

One of the best scenes they did with the show was humanizing the clones. In the movies you barely hear them speak and they dont really stand out or show humanity.

“Frinedly fire”

Imho clone wars is the best animated series there’s ever been, the characters, the plot lines, the action, and best of all the emotions it brings out in us.

That first episode has stuck with me for years. Literally made me fall in love with this show from episode one.

I liked commander ponds he was on the battle of geonosis “I don’t know how to spell that”

I wish it was 2010 again

Ooo the intro from the Star Wars battlefront takes me back to a good time. I still play that game and battle front 2

Rex risking his life to save his brothers. This resonates deeply with me every time.

But like seriously why did they have to kill ponds and not that useless other guy or even the admiral

Billie Eilish has nothing on the clone wars

5:00 The lighting in this scene makes the Chancellor look paler, like he will be when he becomes Emperor

The saddest scenes are the deaths of Waxer, Fives, 99, Satine, Hevy's sacrifice along the burial of Jesse and the others after the crash. Fenominal show if one can say so. "The mission, the nightmares, they are finally........over." F for all of them. Also realising that Waxer had drawn Numa on his helmet, made his death all the more emotional.

Am I the only one that noticed the misspelled word? "Frinedly Fire", lol... at 8:14. Great video.

Just to think, we watched this as younglings.

One of the best cartoons ever!!.....and that is an understatement. It made you care about many of the characters! I like how they gave some limelight to many of the characters and not just focus on one or two of the main ones. It didn't take away from the main ones at all and in fact it made the stories much more richer and interesting. It actually strengthened each character! Not to mention it did give out some very good and true life lessons without being preachy, which is a testament to good writing and actual life lessons that sticks to you and hits you in heart! This show never felt forced or tried to convince you to think one way or another, but presented you with an honest and open debate on things that affect us deeply in our souls as humans....things we think about but rarely talk about.

I swear I have never had goosebumps this bad

This helluva vid

If u didn’t watch this show on Cartoon Network on 2013 then you didn’t truly love this show

The original Battlefront animation and sounds in your intro is soooooo nostalgic. Man as a kid I played that game constantly

This show was/is amazing in creating the most jarring and realistic situations anyone could think of and be in the thick of. Waxer and the other clones dying for the amusement of a sadistic dark Jedi really hits you hard and makes you feel for the clones more than in the movies.
