Genndy tartakovsky. Hes the reason why clone wars, samurai jack, powerpuff girls, and dexters lab were so fun to watch. Now hes got a new show called primal
I think this anime (as well as the EU books) was great in capturing how the force is "described" where the movies struggled because they did not have the technology at the time to accurately or realistically capture this.
No no, Mace really WAS that powerful. There's a reason he held Grand Master during the Clone Wars. He was a brilliant strategist, superb commander, and one of TWO people who had Mastered Vapaad. Even Yoda had not mastered Vapaad.
@Sean Vantuyl people say that Yoda's above all Jedi... But actually, Windu was just as respected as Yoda, they both were on the highest rank in the council.
@@TheChelus Yeah-yeah-yeah, but the Kaminoans also went with Fett's DNA for a reason. Yes there's modifications. variations, and deviations here and there, not to mention training, but I'm sure Jango Fett himself was incredibly infamous, or perhaps had some extreme affinity for survival/hunting instincts, Kaminoans liked that.
Thanks to Clone Wars 2009 quotes (a clone trooper saying "what the hell?") we know hell is a thing in star wars. Maybe the reason Fordo never appeared after this show was because he found his calling and went to slay him some demons.
I love the confidence that pilot had in his gunner. He's told that there are three ships after him and his response is just basically "well ok? shoot them then.", and when they do blow up he assumes with full confidence that it was the gunner just doing the job. He has so much confidence that the gunner can handle that type of issue, that it being dealt with was a forgone conclusion that requires no special action on his part.
Damn imagine if Mace Windu used more than 10% of his power during the battle of Geonosis when him and the entire Jedi council were surrounded by like 1/3 of the amount of droids
*Captain Fordo:* _How am I gonna stop some big Droids Army from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer ? Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun._
@@lordgod9958Can't blame her for that in this series. Grievous is an absolute monster who actually lives up to his reputation as a Jedi killer, unlike in most of his other appearances
@@slayerdwarfify If when Mace WIndu crushed Grievous' metal after TCW (2008), or at least before Season 7, then that means that Grevious would've absolutely destroyed Ahsoka, when she was 1v1-ing Grievous, assuming that Grievous didn't get hella nerfed, which definitely happened.
As in their are not aggressors. That isn't to say they won't defend themselves. This was on Coruscant where the jedi temple and the republic capital is located.
God, remember when Grevious was a walking Murder Machine? The episode when they introduced him, that once Padawan going all Hudson, almost saying "Game over man, game over!" as Jedi were picked off one by one?
Don't get it twisted, I like the new Clone Wars stuff but none of it tops this. The clones and the Jedi are just that much cooler here and the sense of scale makes so much more sense than in the newer shows.
One of my main issues with new clone wars is grievous. Here he is portrayed as the badass jedi slayer he’s meant to be. In new clone wars he’s some dumbed down, cartoonish, sith henchman who got his ass kicked by the jar jar brigade.
Clone Wars 2003 is clearly more awesome. Fillers are amazing, storytelling awesome and the humor wasn't invasive. (however, the best Clone War ever is still the first series of comics, Republic, by Ostrander and Duursema. But still)
The show really captured elite clone warriors versus hordes of machines really well, especially in that moment in the series. You can tell the clones can tear through a hundred droids each, but the druids outnumber them a thousand to one. Even with their skill and ferocity, the elite troops have to fall back due to the sheer momentum of the droids. I love it, it really captured the whole idea of the war so well
I think it was more they were outnumbered, you can be slaughtering the enemy with no issues, but if there's a neverending wave of them, it's much better to quit while you're ahead
@@hamby2232I agree, the clones could’ve just fought the whole droid army and won, but retreating was way easier and they didn’t have to sacrifice any troops
@@Gojira_MinusOne He was supposed to be very powerful. How do you think he got all those lightsabers? By just asking nicely for the Jedi to give them to him?
Except for the part where Windu crushes Grevious’s chest giving him his cough (since in Cannon Grevious naturally had a cough), the rest of the Battle of Coruscant as depicted in Clone Wars 2003 doesn’t contradict anything in Cannon. Therefore, the Battle of Coruscant as shown in 2003 Clone Wars is still canon in my book
that miniseries was so good, mostly because they left the project alone with a capable star wars fan, then promptly forgot about it so they didn't butt in.
@@regice1231 Rather sad that's needed to make _Star Wars_ likeable even if it explains part of why both _Clone Wars_ series are basically the only things I like about the franchise.
To me, the real ones were always be the first series of comics, Republic, with Quinlan Vos and Tholme. Written by Ostrander and Duursema. But Clone Wars 2003 cartoon is close second !
That bare fist combat with Mace Windu is the only time we've seen a true master of the force in combat. No light saber, just the force compelling someone to super natural capability. I feel like having that and then having Anakin, while an incredible saber duelist during the show, not at that level made a stronger argument for him not given the rank of master than whatever the movies were trying to do.
I think the logic is "as long as it's so out there that they can't possibly replicate it in real life, it's fine". That was my mom's logic raising me, anyway. No Rugrats or SpongeBob (not repeating actions. Repeating the annoying dialogue). It was Courage the Cowardly Dog and Samurai Jack for me, and that shit ruled. Stuff like this flew by on her radar just fine.
My problem with this was that the Jedi scenes were so badass that this is how powerful I seen them... then with Order 66 it was like they couldn't even deflect a few clone blasters.
This series of the CloneWars was superb not just to fill in the gap between episode 2 and 3, but also displays Jedi and Sith are one man armies when their skills are at their peaks.
Man, you don't gotta set the bar that impossibly high. The entire Disney trilogy can't even measure up to Phantom Menace, and you're putting their library up against something good? They ain't even in the same weight class.
Rex will always be my favorite clone, but every scene of Fordo goes so hard that it’s understandable he never shows up in TCW. Dude’s the Clone equivalent of Starkiller, and to have a man that badass in canon would just put everyone to shame.
2003 Grievous : Tactical genius, charisma 10 000, use stealth the Predator/Batman way. Feared by Master Ki-Adi Mundi himself. Blitzkrieg the shit out the heavily defended enemy HQ. And is an Absolute BEAST who can wreck Jedis in 1v4 using his FEET. 2005 Grievous : Coughy coward comic relief. Continuously roasted by Anakin and Obi-Wan. Always fleeing. Not really impressive skills. Die by a blaster shot. 2003 Shaak-Ti : Elegant and wise but deadly af. Never abandon the pursuit. Only Jedi to survive And give a hard time to the absolute GIGACHAD cyborg general mentionned earlier (without cheating). Making her an absolute BADASS OF A JEDI. 2005 Shaak-Ti : Dies executed offscreen at the beginning of the movie.
nothing has so well captured true star wars feels like this old show. I remember waking up on Saturday mornings and being completely entranced by the fight sequences.
Even though the episodes were 5 minutes each, they were still jam packed with intense action!! I remember each coming back from school excited to watch the next one. Then when Clone Wars finished Toonami aired all episodes back to back so it was like watching a small film.
2003 windu: rips androids appart with his bare hands, fist fights andoids, evades blaster shoots on foot, jumps hundrets meter down and destroys hundrets of andoids with his landing. 2005 windu: dies getting kicked out of a window...

@@CompletelyNormalHuman I'd say Yoda is more powerful, but Mace is specialized in dark side users since he uses Vapaad. Also the most powerful Jedi to ever live was Luke
@@SamG_007 Luke had a higher bodycount, (because death star) but in a fair fight, all bets are off; Windu is a murder machine when the kid gloves come off…
Funny how Mace Windu in this cartoon is fighting thousands of SBDHA droids with just his bare hands combined with force, also super speed and high jumps... something we'll never see in the films
And this here is why Fordo puts Rex to shame. Fordo was a first gen ARC trooper named after the legendary Mandalorian himself and he lives up to that name. Nothing stops Fordo. He is a machine. 😮
I love when animators take advantage of the fact that violence for cartoon shows are sometimes allowed if there isn't blood or viscera, so explosions and robot death aplenty
cw 2003 really gives you the feeling the jedi have been training since 2 or 3 in the ways of the force and a lightsaber, and the ruthlessness of general grevious is so amazing. wish it was a full series instead of a teaser for the prequils
One of the few pieces of Star Wars media that shows how absurdly strong a force user would be. A single skilled Jedi could take out an entire army by simply making their heads implode
Grievous was a terrifying threat in this series and _nowhere else._ The Mouse had nothing to do with him becoming a joke, that ship had sailed by the time they took over.
Even this is better than ANYTHING that Disney has made. I remember watching this as it first aired on tv. I even bought the DVD the day it released. So good.
