Execute ORDER 66 | The Clone Wars 7x11/7x12 Reaction | Shattered/Victory and Death 

Wow.. the end of the Clone Wars 😢 thank you all for joining me on this journey! Next up we have Tales of the Jedi, Rebels & The Bad Batch!

The finale shows that the Clones were victims in this too. Order 66 didn't just kill the Jedi, it also killed them.

The maulway scene is so brutal

As a kid, I always loved Commander Jesse and routed for him for many years. To see him actually go out like that was heartbreaking for me.

2:50. Part of This hologram meeting actually takes place in revenge of the sith. The sound is directly lifted. But obviously we never knew Ahsoka was listening and watching

The final lingering shot on the clone helmet made me break down the first time I watched. It represents everything the Clone Wars created. A galaxy brought to its knees, the clones used as tools then discarded, and Vader reflected in the helmet as the Emperor's ultimate prize. It also represented an end of an era for me. I grew up with the Clone Wars so it was heartbreaking to see it end.

Another thing to note, Jesse's helmet is marked with the Republic Logo, which makes the end of not just the Clone War, but the Republic as well!

The ending never ceases to bring a tear to my eyes

That last photogram tears me apart. The three actual protagonist of the enterie show: A clone helmet, Ahsoka marks painted and Anakin/Vader's reflex in the visor

“You were my brother Anakin” was the saddest moment in Star Wars up to this point. Ahsoka and Rex’s friends turning against them and being forced to fight them in order to survive was dark and heartbreaking. Then being forced to bury them is the final shot of emotion. Order 66 is without a doubt the saddest and darkest moment in all of Star Wars.

Yes Rex did have his chip removed when he was in the machine in the end of the third episode. Such a perfect and heartbreaking end to my favorite Star Wars show!

Emme: is order 66 going to happen in these episodes? Because if so, I'm not prepared for that. Us: 👀👀👀👀👀

Rex crying always gets me.

Two things absolutely make these finale episodes outstanding: the overwhelming sense of dread once Ahsoka prepares to depart from Mandalore right up to Order 66. The music and eerie silence is SO POWERFUL, that you heart and butt just tighten up every time, waiting for the hammer to fall. Secondly, the utter tragedy of the lives of the clones, ending in their needless and painful death. They never wanted this, they sacrificed more than anyone, and cannot help themselves while relentlessly firing on their own friends and brothers, trapped in their own heads. Only to die with the Republic they cared so much for in a fiery inferno. At least Ahsoka had the decency to bury them. It gives me tears.

These last 4 episodes of Clone Wars are the type of episodes...where it doesn't matter how many times you have seen them, you know you will be watching them again. Just so good.

Jesses helmet with the Republic crest on the grave is just so fitting. That day not just Jessi died, but the Republic aswell.

When I binged CW a few years ago I found a fan edit that edited the last four episodes together with ROTS. It was amazing. The edit was amazing but also as you noted the way this last season was made just looked great. The scenes of ships in space didn’t look any different in the show and the movie and the scene where Ahsoka is edited into the hologram meeting from ROTS is incredible. I’ve still never just watched the last four episodes on their own.

I like that Ahsoka has adopted the same chant as Chirrut Imwe, a reminder that the force is bigger than the Jedi and the sith

Ahsoka said she wouldn't be the one to kill the Clones, yet that's exactly what she did by Proxy of releasing Maul who later brought down the entire cruiser.

This really is the best looking Vader in animation.

The clone trooper graves at the end give me chills everytime

I love the duality of the former apprentices of Sidious and Vader fighting for survival during Order 66.

It was so good of a show. You can really tell that the writers and everyone working on this show are fans, and they knew what they were doing.

The red and green droid R7 was Ahsoka's astromech droid throughout the whole Clone War too, I think he shows up as early as season 1 (it's the episode Anakin let's her fly in her first space battle and he gives her R7).

Can't help but think, at that final moment with the buried helmet, about everything we saw throughout the series and realize that every sacrifice, every good deed, every clone and jedi that died was in the end for nothing. The war was lost since the beginning , everyone was manipulated. The jedi and the republic were buried and forgotten, just like the helmet, then we see Vader leaving through the troopers helmet reflection, the only thing that remains is the empire. Dave Feloni is a genius.

I really loved your reaction here Emme. You genuinely scared that Ahsoka was going to die. I don’t see that from a lot of RU-vidrs because they all saw Rebels and Mandalorian before this. You say “no no” just broke my heart and was so emotional. It was such a brutal and devastating episode, but also a great one. Thank you for the reaction Emme and sharing your kind and warm-heartedness with us.❤️

I remember watching the movie in the theatre when it first came out. Walked out of it super excited and loving it so much. And then watching the series on Cartoon Network, such good memories. Watching these last few episodes knowing how it would inevitably end made me feel dread. The final scene with Vader walking out, marking the quiet end of the clone wars, the clones dying for nothing and with Sidious the only true victory, makes me want to cry.

Who knew that the Clone Wars Finale could bring so many adults to tears! To see you complete this part of the journey has been wonderful. To quote old Ben Kenobi "That's good! You've taken your first step into a larger world"

I love how the end is dark and sad for Clone Wars since nobody really won (except Palpatine of course). Seeing Vader walk away in the clones visor as it slowly fades to black was such a good yet sad way to say it's over. This has been one of my favorite reaction journey's and I'm super hyped for when you start Bad Batch and Rebels!!

Ahsoka and Rex must be some of the most tragic characters in star wars

This 4 episode arc HAS TO BE up there with the best SW ever. I particularly love the haunting score and the time this episode takes to breathe in between dialogue. It is sooo powerful and I hope we see some of this kinda stuff in future SW projects.

The somber and depressing end to this show is just so… heartbreaking. All of our friends are gone and nothing will ever be the same. The Jedi we came to love are dead, Padme is dead essentially killed by Anakin. Obi Wan had to fight and kill Anakin, who is actually dead because only Vader remains. The clones we came to love are all dead, or mindless soldiers without their individuality. The galaxy is run by the sith, the tyrant has implemented his own empire. It will stay that way for a while until a New Hope. The Clone Wars series really puts a lot into perspective and deepens, not only my love for Star Wars, but the emotional weight of the series as a whole. I loved it and love it so much.

Eps 9-12 could have been released in the movie theaters and topped the box office. This Clone Wars "movie" finale is simply some of the best Star Wars - live action or animation.

Order 66 before watching the Clone Wars: Aw damn, that sucks. Order 66 AFTER watching the Clone Wars: 🥺

These episodes last two episode are so heart breaking but amazing

These last two episodes are easily the best two episodes of the show. Dave Filoni truly saved the best for last. The scene of Ahsoka and Rex burying the Clones... heartbreaking. Ahsoka leaving her lightsaber behind to fake her death and Anakin/Vader finding it and realizing that he killed his little sister/padawan... OUCH

Maul is a trained assassin - he is great at stealth , add to that the force and that is why he can "sneak around" the clones so easily. Also... Plot device and Plot Armor

Don’t worry you’ll be crying a lot more with Ashoka again. Her story is so heartbreaking.

Ashoka left her lightsaber there to make it look like she was dead. Vader picking up that lightsaber might have been one of the closest things that could have brought him back.

The musical choices at the start of Shattered is amazing. It puts you so on edge knowing what's about to happen.

Talking to droids like I negotiate with my dog. "I know, I know, just hear me out..." :D

2:47 is actually a direct line for line recreation of a meeting that happens on screen in revenge of the sith. It was really cool to see that in this episode when it first came out, because we knew things were about to get real serious really fast.

Isn’t it crazy how almost everyone who was really close to Anakin survived order 66 minus the queen.

Rex: You didn't tell them what Maul said about General Skywalker. Ahsoka: No, I didn't. Ahsoka trusts Rex more than the Jedi Council (of course). The Jedi Council really shot themselves in the foot on that. Kicking her out led to them getting murdered.

I will not lie her voice is co platelets soothing and I love the micro expressions she makes when’s sitting there quietly. I love the way she reacts as well. I think I found a new subscription. Keep up the good work!

I still vividly remember watching these back when they first came up. I was 7 years old when Clone Wars started, I quite literally grew up with it. It was the end of an era, a steady and prominent part of my childhood and youth coming to an end... I can't fully describe the feeling but it was immensely powerful. Just seeing these few scenes while watching your reaction made me tear up again, these last ~10 minutes with absolutely no dialogue are absolutely incredible... However, I'm really looking forward to all that is to come! What's up next for you? I would assume The Bad Batch?

I adore Cheep. He's based on a Ralph McQuarrie painting Lucas used to pitch A New Hope.

She left her light saber intentionally so everyone thinks she perished in the crash. Rebels explain a lot and The Mandalorian as well! When Ashoka senses Anakin becoming Vader it gives me chills!

21:35 "Jesse... the last Arc Trooper... finally laying down to rest."

I watched this entire series with my teen aged son. and as an OG Star Wars fan, I loved it. The finale was bitter sweet for me. Although I thought it was some of the best Star Wars ever put on screen and loved it, I hated to see it end. Dave Filoni is a master at SW, and I hope to see him stay involved for the foreseeable future. Loved the reaction Emme. I hope you are planning to continue with Star Wars Rebels and The Bad Batch animated series'.

Seeing Vader in this show is heart breaking.... that it our Anakin.. or what remains of him... the same guy we followed for 7 seasons of this show.. now gone.

Truely the end of an era!

Man and Jesse with the symbol of the Republic on his helmet. It’s truly over now

This is where the fun begins! Edit: On to the Bad Batch..... it picks up right where this leaves off.

You've finished the show! Congrats! You now feel the pain that we all felt and have a different view on Order 66, welcome to the club. It's been a blast watching your reactions to this show! What was your favorite story arc? Also, you should totally rewatch Episode III, either with a new re-reaction or just in your own time. You'll have a totally different perspective of all that happens in that film, especially if while watching you think about how this final arc of Clone Wars was taking place at the exact same time. Fun fact: During the scene in Shattered where Mace blows off Ahsoka as a "citizen", the conversation that they are having right before Ahsoka walks in is word for word from Episode III. In the movie, the scene cuts away riiiiiight before Ahsoka walks in to join in the briefing. Of course this was not planned when Episode III was being created, but the brilliant minds behind Clone Wars managed to blend it in so seamlessly. (Additional fun fact: At no point in the show did Anakin and General Grievous ever meet face to face, only during ship to ship encounters. This rule was painstakingly followed so that the seemingly unimportant dialogue exchange between Anakin, Obi, and Grievous at the beginning of Episode III stays true and has no contradictions.)

Rebels is a great series, I’d definitely put it on the list. Great video! MTFBWY!

That ending shot of Vader in the clone visor has been my phone background since the day this came out.

Your commentary is so Golden. I like your words because you just know what to say

Thank you, Emme! ⚱ So much great animation yet to come... and the live-action stuff will be full of treasures, too. #Emme #StarWars #TheCloneWars

I always see Vaders final scene here as Anakin thinking he has no one left now.

her: "I'm not crying, you're crying" me: "Yes" 😢

Dave filoni is truly great

I love that it ends on the clone troopers helmet in the snow, it signifies the end of the clone wars, and how even the clones most devoted to their Jedi commanders turned on them.

There is "pain" and then there is "Rex burying Jesse and his brothers pain".

Some of the best Star Wars

I never cried so much when I watched that Final...

I think you are amazing. Your personality and laugh make me smile all the time. I’m happy to have found you on RU-vid. You actually make my day and I couldn’t thank you more. I hope you make more content like this and make people more happy with the content you make.

5:55 that was the cutest squeal I ever heard lol

5:49 I liked it how they mixed Hayden Christensen and Matt Lanter voice of Anakin Skywalker from saying, what have I done?

Last arc of clone wars is some of the best TV and Star Wars ever made. 10/10

Thanks Emme! It was an honor watching the Clone Wars along side you through these videos! Really cool seeing your raw emotion and fun thoughts on each episode.

"it's so cute they are all talking to her" - Emme "Oh...she doesn't know" - Me.

What's great about the ending scene (yes, I watched your reaction twice) was introducing Vader into Clone Wars shows how everything Anakin had was now lost. Think of his line in Obi-wan Kenobi. "You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did." Everything Anakin did once Darth Sidious "knighted" him as Darth Vader in Revenge of the Sith, every piece of love and caring in Anakin's life has been destroyed. He lost his friendship with Kenobi, Padme died (believing it was at his own hands because that's what Sidious told him) even his padawan, Ahsoka, who he deeply cared for, was on a mission with the Clone Troopers when Order 66 occurred. Finding Ahsoka's lightsaber in the snow leads Vader to believe that another happy piece of his past as Anakin is gone and dead. Everyone around Anakin's life is gone and dead, fueling his anger and hate and destructive power. The ending scene could be before or after the Kenobi series (in year 10 BBY), but it's before Rebels, which takes place starting in 5 BBY (the same year as Andor starts) *BBY - Before the Battle of Yavin, the destruction of the first Death Star in Ep IV: A New Hope)

We waited so long for them to come back and finish clone wars and they gave it the absolute perfect ending

Every time you mentioned loving the droids i thought "stop saying that!"

Rex is able to resist for several seconds, while every other clone we ever see just transitions without thought. My theory on that is it’s because of Fives. Rex realized what was happening as the chip activated and his mind was taken from him which allowed him to react fast enough to resist - no other clone had any understanding of what was happening so they couldn’t react fast enough to resist before the programming had already fully kicked in.

Great reaction! The finale we waited so much for is amazing. Amazing and devastating. And it doesn't get any better, no matter how many gazillion times you've watched it.

the helmets on sticks always fucking get me

Glad you enjoyed the finale.

Nice vid emme

Rex had his chip removed. In the Star Wars universe, medical technology has advanced to the point where brain surgery can be completed in a few minutes.

At this point, Vader thinks Ahsoka is dead. Which was her and Rex's plan.

Did anybody else notice Sabine's mother right beside Bo-Katan while they were transporting Maul?? I only now just noticed that!!

Hey Mace keep that same energy when you go out the window.

She didn't tell the jedi cause she didn't trust the counsel that turned there back on here

Amazing series and reliving and reactiom from you Meme! Thank you!

I cried after watching this..... Again!

I just discovered your channel. I'm loving it so far!

The voice actor for Maul also voice acted and motion captured Starkiller. They're both extremely powerful force wielders and a look into The Force Unleashed Trailers might do you some good.

dry those eyes emme, ahsoka's journey has just begun

Keep in mind we saw Sidious absolutely demolish Maul when he had Savage’s help. And now seeing how powerful the dark side is at the moment of Order 66 and seeing Maul doing amazing feats of the force, just imagine how strong Sidious actually is at that time

You should definetly react to rebels!

When Rex start to help Ashoka is because he no longer has the chip not because he remember. (Correction) you at the end did realize.

It's always crazy to me that during order 66 the clones didn't care if you were a jedi, sith, droid, citizen, or other clone. If you're not the emperor or vader they will kill you without hesitation.

If you want to know what happens to Ahsoka, there's a book "Ahsoka". The start conflicts with this episode(different way Maul is captured, order 66 happens when she's still on Mandalore.) What's even better is that the audiobook is voiced by Ashley Eckstein, so the entire thing feels like Ahsoka is telling the story of how what happened to her after order 66.

While this was an amazing two episodes, releasing Sith Satan to do as he pleases without supervision probably wasn't the best idea. He basically went full Starkiller from The Force Unleashed

Emme, the story doesn't end here. It continues with "Bad Batch" and then "Rebels"

This conclusion arc was so good. Whenever I rewatch the movies I now include these 4 episodes as well!

I loved seeing your reactions to clone wars ❤️❤️

Rip Jesse. Been around since I think season 2
