Clone Wars it is.... How Order 66 Became the Best Scene in Star Wars by Schaffrillas Productions 

"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."

The Great Sith Plan is definitely worthy of the grimdark seal of approval, with Order 66 being the cherry on top. It is so gloriously evil that Tzeentch (damned be his name) would weep with joy.

In the series they hammer it in, especially in a certain arc, that the clones are men not droids but MEN and one of the worst things Sidious did was change these men into nothing more than killing machines

He touched on the Ahsoka part having to fight against the troopers with the helmet paint symbolizes her, but that wasn't the whole story of this tragic event. See, at this point Ahsoka have already left the Jedi Order, technically making her a civilian. The clones didn't have to follow her order anymore yet chose to follow her to Mandalore anyway to fight and potentially die in a conflict they don't have to partake. They even surprised Ahsoka by showing her the new paint job right before they depart to show how much they trust her. And all of it got destroyed in a mere moment.

I completely forgot about the line of "A good soldier follows orders" when it was used in Star wars vs 40k

It's not mentioned in the video but where he is talking about Tup repeating the same phrase i just want to point out, Anakin is a jedi but Tup only goes after the other Jedi. Which just goes to show how far the plot is. The clones won't attack Anakin because Palpatine wants him alive. Good soldiers follow orders is terrifying in clone wars and in bad batch. Followed by "you're in direct violation or order 66..." Also Grogu is 50 years old when you see him. His species grow up so fast.

You should definitely do clone wars reactions. The show just hits different even if you know some spoilers.

Now you know the origin of the phrase, “Good Soldiers follow orders”. The phrase we also hear right before the ever spiraling events of Star Wars vs 40k, when the ship get hyperspace rammed

For the best experience with The Clone Wars, I'd recommend watching in the chronological order rather than release. Its a bit of work having to go between different seasons and episodes but it makes the overall story flow better and straightens out after season 3 if I remember right. Either way you watch it, I hope you enjoy the show.

I want THIS kind of Sheev in 40K. Someone whose plots take decades, who is at times both your best ally and mortal enemy. SOmeone who has grand ambitions and whose power plays are remembered for centuries. Just imagine if Horus had this level of malice and apathy rather than daddy issues.

Grogu is part of Yoda's species (it will intentionally never be revealed, which is cool). Yoda was 900 and something so they age slowly. Grogu is in his 50s. Warning Clone wars first season is mid. Beyond third is just amazing. (Mostly)

Clone Wars was 1 of my favorite cartoons growing up

“The nightmares…they’re finally over” RIP Fives

If you watch "Clone War", remember: you started "from the end". Character you will meet WILL NOT rise to your expectation YET. They are here TO GROW into the SW icon you heard them to be. Give it (the serie) and them (the characters) the time they need and, in time, you will find them to be as they were presented to you "at the end"

About the control chips arc in CW season 6: Fives actually told one of his best friends, a clone medic named Kix, about the chips and he investigated himself as well discovering the plot like Fives did, but he was abducted by seperatists right when the war ended. They put him into cryo sleep right before the seperatist ship was shot down. He was found by pirates 50 years later (during the sequels) and is the last clone alive. He discovered it all, but he couldn't do anything to prevent it. All of his friends are (pobably) dead by that point (Anakin, Kenobi, Rex, any other clones) or don't know he survived (Ahsoka), which makes it even more sad.

18:04 good soldiers follow orders, good soldiers follow orders, good soldier follow orders, good soldiers follow orders, good soldiers follow orders, good soldiers follow orders, good soldiers follow orders, good soldiers follow orders

What I love about the final arc of clone wars is that…we know order 66 is coming, we KNOW, thanks to Rebels, that Ahsoka and Rex survive, but we DON’T know WHEN OR HOW it happens…so when it DID happen, I was STILL on the edge of my seat watching

Regarding Clone Wars, some episodes suck but some are really good. I recommend the Nightsisters Arc, Return of Maul Arc, Umbara Arc, Ahsoka Arc and Siege of Mandalore Arc

As someone who finally gave in and just finished binging The Clone Wars a couple months ago, MY GOD, it’s so worth it. Clone Wars and Rebels gave us so much.

The Obi-Wan series also touches on Order 66. Also, re Grogu: remember how old Yoda's race can be. Grogu is about 50-60 years old, IIRC in Mandalorian (NOT Book of Boba Fett) and is still considered a Youngling.

"the bad batch" really does a good job of showing the transition between the republic into the empire. and we see what actually happens to the clones after order 66. its heartbreaking. and crosshair's storyarc is great stuff too.

There's no mention of the numbered orders or the inhibitor chips in the prequel films but the Kaminoan showing the army to Obi Wan in attack of the clones mentions that the clones have been genetically engineered to be incredibly obedient and loyal to whoever has authority over them.

Clone Wars is such a goated show. Best piece of Star Wars media IMO Especially watching it blind. This show gets pretty fricking dark.

I'd actualy enjoy you reacting to the clonewars. Rewatching awsome things with people I like alwhays lightens my mood.

12:20 - I really wish the movie would have kept Cody's line after being informed of Order 66 in the novel. "Would it have been too much to ask for the order to have come through before I gave him back the bloody lightsaber?"

One thing to notice about those episodes, it also answers a question about Anakin and Order 66, but more indirectly. There's a scene shown in the video where the clone goes into a trance and then rushes at one of the other Jedi in a rage. But notice how Anakin is standing right next to her. If you watch closely, the clone even shoves Anakin aside to get to her. He's in Order 66 mode, but he completely ignores Anakin like he's not even there, which tells us that not only are the Clones forced by the chips to execute the order, but they were also programmed to specifically exempt Anakin as a target when the order goes off. Even from the moment Palpatine comissioned the army, Anakin's fate as Vader was sealed.

There is a slight correction that needs to be said (if it hasn't yet, I'm only half way through the video), some clones welcomed order 66, typically the ones who's jedi generals were either less friendly to the clone army, or the ones who didn't understand the clones can't do what they can do. They would resent their generals for allowing large casualties either by ignorance or intent.

As someone who grew up with the Clone Wars, the Order 66 scene in the season 7 finale was pretty heartbreaking to watch. Growing up with not just the Jedi but also the clones and getting to know them only to see the inhibitor chips erase those clones' identities and force them to shoot at their former friends was so hard to watch

New context for Warhammer vs Star wars the chips are capable of malfunctions and clones have souls. Ergo tech priests or pyskers are able to cause the order to be executed if they find it

The tragedy at the end of CW is even worse despite most of the clones she fights not being named. THE 501ST WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE HER THEY PAINTED THEIR HELMETS TO PAY OMAGE! And then they're forced to gun her down or get cut down in the proess... heartbreaking

As a member of the military, you absolutely need to watch TCW. Look for a chronological list so you can watch it right.

From my understanding of the old canon a lot of clones did not require much of a push to kill the Jedi. It was only a select group of Jedi that were really loved and adored by the clones. Part of it is because the Jedi were not really military people. So they would give the clones difficult missions to spare life, but would have been easier to accomplish if they had been just a bit more cut throat. Thus saving the lives of many clones. The Jedi got lots of clones killed in stupid ways which built up some resentment, especially in cases where the Jedi were not well liked. Look into the history of the battle of Geonosis and how the clones were deployed. They had the the clone commandos line up on an open plain..... you know commandos, the special ops guys. The ones you want to land behind enemy lines and stuff.

The genius of the first half of the Order 66 episode in Clone Wars is that it plays with you and the fact that it's made sure you know where you're at in Revenge of the Sith, so you know it's getting close. But it also utilizes the spontaneity of Order 66 because you also know it can happen literally at any time. At no point during the episode does it ever feel safe to take a quick breath to relax. There are no warning signs until it's too late, and so you have no way to prepare yourself for it. You can only dread the anticipation.

Grogu is around 50 years old For his species, that means he's a toddler

That bit about Patrick fucking hurt my soul, RIP

And the fate of the clones in bad batch might be even more sad

I hadn't had any plans to watch clone wars, because I knew what would happen in Revenge of the Sith. However, one day I was bored so I decided to watch it. It was really good. It gives the clones so much more character. It also makes order 66 so much sadder cause you know the clones don't want to do what they are doing. They have no choice. You should really watch it

Would love to see reactions to this series, Rebels, and Bad Batch. It adds a lot of events and tragedies that add to the movies. Especially Anakin’s fall to the darkside and Ahsoka and Order 66. Best order to watch would be chronological because the release order is all over the place with the story and it would just make soooo much more sense.

As others have said, the old Canon didn't have the Clones romanticize the Jedi as much as they do in The Clone Wars show. In old canon (and somewhat still this way) the Jedi are an entirely separate entity from the Republic. The clones were born and bred specifically to serve the Republic, not the Jedi, the Jedi just led the clones into battle. There is an entire list of orders that the clones were trained from birth to follow, one obviously being order 66. You should watch the 501st journal cutscenes from the original Battlefront II. Rather basic nowadays, but it goes into a bit of detail about how the clones all knew that one day they may be ordered to kill their commanders, and when the order came, the clones didn't want to do it, but they did anyway, because they were loyal to the Republic and the Jedi were deemed a threat to it. "What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word. With the fall of Coruscant and the elimination of the traitorous Jedi, Palpatine's rise to power was complete. In recognition of our service and loyalty to the Emperor, the 501st were placed under the direct command of Lord Vader. Armed with deadly new weapons, blazing new ships, and shiny new armor, our presence let the galaxy know that the days of the Old Republic were well and truly over. We were establishing a new era, an era of order and peace." Both depictions have their merits, the video you watched explained the chip side well, but when that season of the Clone Wars show aired, a lot of people thought the inhibitor chips were a plot cop-out because the show made people like the clones too much so they had to take their free will away in order make order 66 happen. Anyway, just thought I'd bring that up. Surprised the video didn't at least mention old canon and compare it to the chip plot.

To be fair once the clone wars TV series came out it made the order 66 scene just all that much more heartbreaking because it made you attached to not only every single one of those characters in the movies but ones that weren't even in the movies. And I would highly recommend checking the clone wars TV series out because it did everything the movies didn't, clones get massively fleshed out, the jedi do and so does their relationship. And also the Star Wars Bounty Hunter game is actually the origin story for why Jango who you play as was chosen as the template for the clone army. And it kinda fills in some stuff also it's a great game if you haven't played it.

That pug has figured out that emotional blackmail works on dad lol

I never recommend the clone wars to anyone (despite it being one of my favorites of all time) because the first few seasons for the most part really are Y12 quality lol, but for anyone who can tough it out the second half just gets exponentially better with each episode

Clone Wars is essential Star Wars

Bit of context before you start watching, originally Clone Wars was released in mixed episodic order, mostly telling different tales from different points before the later seasons. There is a chronological order for the episodes and the original movie. If you think you would understand things better in that order, I would recommend that. Also recommend you watch the video "The 501st Our Duty" by HFP before you start season 7 or after if you prefer.

So, I can tell this video is old. They did find out how grogu escaped and who saved him and we have now a few new live action order 66 scenes and their brutal.

Oh, if this is going to make you cry... just wait until you watch the Umbara arc

You really need to do it. Like he said it puts the movie into context.

Additional order 66 material since that video: Mandalorian season 3 (grogu/baby Yoda is 50 years old btw, not a spoiler, given early mandalorian S.1 Ep.1), and Tale of the Jedi.

I knew how that dog was gonna look just from the sound

You can squeeze in the entire series of Clone Wars over a weekend, I mean it's very easy to binge!

so originally the clones did it because they were loyal to a fault to the republic through sheer indoctrination from their birth, so when the order came most did it without question they also knew about order 66 as they memorized it and a couple other hundred orders that lead to a lot of stories i like where their were clones who didn't commit order 66 mainly ARC troopers and clone commandos who had more independence and individuality than the rest of the clones their are 3 stories that i can think of right now 1 is a clone was fighting in space and was knocked unconscious in his fighter through the battle and missed the order, waking up on a merchants ship he eventually found out through the merchant about order 66 was activated and dismissed it as a separatist plot not believing that the jedi betrayed the republic through a no named merchant, he eventually found out that it was true when he found a large group of younglings and padawans hiding on the ship, he later led off a group of clones that were going to inspect it claiming that he already searched the ship when he woke up and found no jedi another is a group of ARC troopers finding a few jedi masters and a large younglings on one of the few schools on another planet than the order where they defend them from other clones allowing them to escape before being executed by Vader and the 501st and the last is of a squad of commandos helping a master escape into hiding from a few other commando squads with only 1 surviving who went with the jedi and later marrying her also 1 more thing, ki-adi-mundi (jedi with a cone head) was despised by the galactic marines regiment that he commanded and were happy to execute them before, don't know if its still like that now though

Star Wars the clone wars has to be the greatest thing Disney ever came up with, it’s entertaining and it answers a lot on questions I’ve had, I just wish it kept going

39:45 As established in the first episode of The Mandalorian, Grogu is a fifty year old toddler. Born about the same time as Anakin Skywalker. His species takes a LONG time to grow up, but live a very long time in exchange.

clone wars is the best i ever seen it made me such a big fan of star wars and all the characters that appeared in the show

A fair warning: The Clone Wars animated series is oftentime remembered only for its highs. It is debatable ir it is longer than it is good. This goes for Rebels and the bad batch as well. Maybe there are guides for shippable episodes.

7day after you publish the video: how is your pug? Proud uncle yet?

28:59 Oooh, Ray Park as Lorgar? That’s an interesting choice!

The later seasons of _Clone Wars_ are great. And its sequel, _The Bad Batch,_ is brilliant: It focusses on Clone Force 99, a special group of "defective clones" with mutations (which were deemed useful enough so that they were allowed to live) during and right after the fall of the Republic,. On their experience of the destruction of Kamino's clone factories (their "home") and the Kaminoans in general on order of Palpatine. On the Bad Batch on the run, trying to survive as mercenaries and to find a new home far away from the Empire hunting them. On the increasing number of "rebel" clones (whose chip was damaged in combat or removed by other already free clones) like Rex and the Bad Batch who discover the Empire is running experiments on imprisoned clones to turn the survivors into perfectly brainwashed SpecOps hitmen. And on the clone troopers' fate in general after they have been deemed "expendable" and start getting replaced by enlisted Stormtroopers. And the current season of _The Bad Batch_ also slyly forebodingly ties to shows like _The Mandalorian_ (which is set after the fall of the Empire and during the rise of he First Order) and the movie sequels, what with the Bad Batch characters uncovering genetic experiments by Empire scientists on order of Palpatine to transfer an "M factor" to another type of clone... Fact is, the clones were trained to be loyal _to the Republic!_ Without the "inhibitor chips" (which technically were the opposite) who forced clones to follow orders they weren't even aware of, the clones should have opposed Chancellor Palpatine's rise when Palpatine started destroying the Republic's institutions and putting the Empire in place.

Hi, I'm new to your channel, but while watching your reaction, I just can't help but love your pug, she is so adorable!

I've seen a lot of people over the years who absolutely hate what Lucas, Filoni, and Favreau (and eventually just Filoni and Favreau) have done to flesh out and characterize the clone troopers from 2008 onwards, but personally? I think that some kind of sleeper agent activation was necessary because even if some like Bacara and Faie would gladly shoot their commanders in the back even with no chip and no order, you really can't expect every single trooper in a galaxy spanning army to just turn on their comrades in a second and move on without any remorse afterward. Plus with the theme of the clone troopers themselves being loyalty and the prequels as a whole being a tragedy, I think it's sadly fitting to see them have their loyalty to the republic betrayed just like the jedi's after everything they've done for it. And as for what's happening now in canon with Palpatine trying to replace them all as quickly as possible with recruits for the storm trooper program? Well, that's just in character for him. In both canon and the EU, throwing away an old toy for something shiny and new is exactly what he did with two of his three apprentices, and what he was trying to do with his third when he died. The EU clone troopers being unstoppable badasses who have no fear and are unconcerned with anything other than being useful to their emperor in a grim and dark galaxy where there is only war is cool and all, but do we really need that when we've already got the space marines?

Clone wars is a great casual show to watch. Very easy to pick up and put down in the early seasons

Grogu is the same age as Anakin Skywalker. During Order 66 they are both 22 years old. At the start of The Mandalorian Grogu is 50 and Anakin has been dead for 5 years.

Goddamnit I'm going to have to watch Clone Wars and Rebels now.

for as badass as the Mandolorians are: Emperor V used them originally, Reven broken them spiritually, the jedi massacred them out of fear, and Emperor Palps broke them near completely

baby yoda (grogu) is the same species as Yoda. they can apparently live seemingly hundreds of years and only get stronger with the force over time. they also apparently have much longer periods in each stage of life, as Grogu is 50 years old but is still just barely beyond being a toddler. Yoda lived to 900 years of age, just so you have some sense of scale

Clone wars is my favorite star wars piece of media and i rewatch it all the time. I would definitely recomend watching it in chronological order since it jumps around a bit though :)

39:39 Well, in 1st episode of The Mandalorian is stated that he's 50 years old.

Please do watch it, The Clone Wars is a MASTERPIECE and makes Order 66 so tragic

Grogu is about 50 "standard years" old. remember, he's the same species as Yoda, and Yoda was at least 900 years old when he died.

14:00 That's why even with the massive humanisation Clones got in Clone Wars and the connections to Jedi that were shown many fans still disliked the chips and felt the original portrayal of Clones just being that loyal and well trained to follow any proper order was believable. I myself often wanted to see the older Clone Wars Multimedia Project and the newer series to coexist in the same universe so I was also one of the people who preferred indoctrination from birth/intense training over mind control chips and thought this could still coexist with the Clones being individuals who get close with the Jedi over the time of the war.

Yoda's species basically ages ten times slower than a human. Yoda lived to be almost 900 years old. While Grogu is 50 by the time he meets Luke in the mandalorian era. So he would basically be a five year old by that point

Wait - we do know who saved Grogu (who is supposed to be 50 years old at the time Din Djarin picks him up) from the Jedi Temple: Jedi Master Kelleran Beq (played by Ahmed Best).

Also watching someone realize in real time how fuckin good The Clone Wars is is pure kino. Bravo sir. Hope you like it.

This is my first video of yours, and if you start watching more, I KNOW I'll be tuning in again! Please watch Clone Wars and maybe Bad Batch after if you like Clone Wars. And I suggest watching Clone Wars in the Chronological Order and not release order, its a bit better that way.

i will GLADLY watch you react to the clone wars it is AMAZING

You can watch the Fallen Order cut scenes like a movie. It is really good.

Baby Yoda(Grogu) is fifty years old

25:07 He hit him with the Slap Chop

Really hope you'll do a reaction series to Clone Wars! Only question you'll be asking yourself after watching it all is, why you didn't watch sooner. It's such a good show which actually makes the prequels better!

you should definitely do a clone wars reaction series and the rest of the animated stuff

Having grown up watching Clone Wars from it’s first episode to the final season that concluded a few years (geez, I actually feels so surreal that they actually completes it) I is an amazing series for sure. Just be on the look out for chronological lists, it helps keeps the series from getting too confusing early on.

Well uhm, there's another, longer depiction that probably came out after the og video.

In all fairness, there’s a repeating bit of misinformation in this video as to why Clone Wars didn’t continue the way we wanted to after Season 5 as half of the reason for its cancellation was Cartoon Network being a stickler with the show (Disney actually wasn’t against letting the show continue but Cartoon Network demanded too much money from Disney to make it happen so the show cancelled). The only reason why it took so long for Clone Wars Season 7 was because Disney FINALLY had full control of the show from Cartoon Network. Literally, the moment they had it all, they went straight to Dave Filoni to see how much of Clone Wars he wanted to go back to. Dave himself was the one who decided on one final season because he was working on Mandalorian, Bad Batch, and Ahsoka.

I would love to watch you react to the clone wars I hope others would agree

More Schaffrillas Productions please

I would watch every reaction from you on Clone Wars. It is better than prequals

Yeah, subbin just for clone wars reactions😂

Clone Wars has some of my all time favorite moments in all of Star Wars and Ahsoka became one of my favorite characters. Watch Clone Wars if you like Star Wars.

Boss, idk how often ive said that you NEED to watch this show. But im glad you can see it now

The Clone Wars series was awesome.

I think the Clone Wars should have been split into three movies.

If you react to Star Wars the Clone Wars i'd happily watch those reactions, though it's up to you on whether it happens or not.

I'm about halfway through... watch Clone Wars man. It gets so good. Even if you don't react to it for the channel, it's the main reason why I'm a die hard Star Wars fan (at least for older stuff lol)

The story of the prequels is the story of how a religion hands the messiah of to the devil.

If you do watch Clone Wars you need to watch it in order with the timeliness. There should be a list somewhere on the internet that shows what order you should watch the episodes.

You should watch Clone Wars it’s incredible

Clone Wars, and The Clone Wars, are the Star Wars that I grew up with. Still have not watched a single movie.

I may be late responding here, but Grogu is 50 years old, still just a baby for his species. Also if you do watch the Clone Wars I encourage you to look up the correct chronological order as there weren't all released in the proper order.

21:52 hay what did i do ):

27:33 if you don't mind me asking, who is the person that wasnt named that was casted in fallen order?
