Umbara Clones (501st) vs Clones (212th) Battle [4K HDR] - Star Wars: The Clone Wars 

RIP Waxer. docs.google.com/document/d/1oholqKfI2MmH64sJ-KtcPEobnhjGal5l1eJE75KekfM/edit?usp=sharing Use the following Google Doc to see the cuts for yourself, then follow the instructions there.

One of the worst tragedies in war It’s when you shoot your comrades by mistake, whether by accident or confusion.

Shooting themselves... such a tragedy... most memorable arc imo.

I bet Anakin was seething when he heard what krell did to his men. He’s lucky Rex got to him first

We're Clones! We're All Clones!

This would be traumatizing in real life. To be tricked into shooting your own men by a general that defected to the other side. These men were tricked into shooting their friends, their BROTHERS. Having the innocent blood of their own brothers on their hands will haunt these mens’ dreams for the rest of their lives.

Biggest plot twist in the entire clone wars beside order 66

"Neera, It Means Brother" "We Thought They Were Wearing Our Armour, But it Was You"

Never noticed before Waxer had a little drawing of the kid from Ryloth on his helmet

Honestly, its a shame we never got to see Anakin, or even Obi Wan at the end of this episode when they learned about all that Krell did.

Waxer's death is a definitely a top 5 saddest moment in the Clone Wars

What really sells this scene for me is at even after the reveal at 3:09 you still see and hear shots fired in the background. That delay for everyone to get cease-fire.

The poetry of having it be the 501st, Anakin’s troopers, and the 212th, Obi-wan’s troopers fighting each other. Once again foreshadowing what their generals were fast approaching

This has to be one of Dee Bradleys best scenes in his career. The effort he puts in his voice is perfect

Dude I straight up cried a little when I saw this part. This just shows how much depth this show has.

OH MY GOD I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING… At 4:00, Waxer’s helmet has a picture of Numa on it, the little Twi’lek girl he and Boil rescued on Ryloth 😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Honestly, if the chip thing wasn't canon, this would be one of the many reasons why the clones would have executed order 66 without doubt

So is no one gonna mention how this is basically foreshadowing for obi wan vs Anakin. A sith manipulates everything and causes Anakin’s men and obi wan’s men to fight each other

Shooting your own allies is a nightmare scenario from all perspective possible and it happened it real life Back in WW2, the Japanese took an American island, after months of preparation the American along with the Canadian launch an attack on a foggy day only to realize after hours of shooting everything that they've been attacking each other, the Japaneses had already retreaded from the island weeks ago

I like how even though the fighting against the Umbarans was brutal, it was mostly because of their strange vehicles. And as soon as a clone infantry unit engages another clone infantry unit the real brutality begins. Shows how dangerous the clones really were. And both units reacted extremely quick and aggressive to each other. We didn't get the 212th perspective, but I suppose not long after the 501st reported heavy casualties, the 212th also reported that as a lot of them died on screen as well. Also the dead bodies and wounded after the skirmish.

I love how well Dee Bradley Baker’s voice acting combined with the animated expressions of the clones sells the true tragedy of the situation. Rex finds out that the clones, his brothers, are firing at each other unknowingly; and like any good brother would do, he puts himself in direct line of fire and into a position with a higher rate of being shot and killed than the other clones taking cover. He doesn’t know why they’re firing on each other, he doesn’t understand yet that their general betrayed them, but the only thing he does understand is himself and his brothers are gunning each other down. He screams and yells frantically at his brothers as he runs by them, telling them in short, clear sentences to us the audience, but unclear sentences to the clones he runs by on what’s happening and who they’re firing at. Although we the audience understand what’s going on, the other clones that hear Rex as he runs by either hear an unclear message or hear nothing at all and so shots continue to be fired from both sides after the big reveal. Rex tackles Cody, who’s in shock as to why Rex tackles him. Cody questioning how Rex is there and why, not yet understanding what’s going on. Rex takes Cody’s helmet off before pulling him up and frantically shouting and spinning in every direction with Cody in his arms to show the clones of the 501st and the 212th that they are firing on their brothers. After the troopers we see stop firing on each other, shots continue to be fired as the message has not reached all the clones on the field yet. The utter grief and despair as the gravity of the situation finally crashes down completely onto Rex’s shoulders drives him to his knees as he tries to make sense out of the whole situation. The expression of horror, disbelief, confusion, fear, and grief are perfectly encapsulated in a single minute.

Whilst I don't think that Palpatine had anything to do directly with pong quell turning to the dark side, I can only imagine how happy he was when he learned about everything that happened as it gave a precedent that a Jedi could be evil

I always loved the difference in armor between each platoon

Imagine if rex called obi wan and obi wan said “We have no choice but to enact order 66”

I can't even imagine what those soldiers must feel killing their own brothers and the fact that their clones feels like you're killing yourself

The most chilling moment in the Clone Wars. Literally gave me chills with the dark music playing in the background

One of the most tragic examples of friendly fire on the battlefield

The most heartbreaking scene in the entire show. Full stop. 💔

This had to actually be hell…the psychological toll this had to take…

212th are under Kenobis command. he probably sent a message to them and informed Kenobi before heading out. makes me wish we wouldve seen Kenobi give the order to arrest Krell for treason. but Rex deciding himself was still a good call too

That is a war Crime

Pong Krell would have been interesting seeing him against a Jedi

Waxer was a sad death man😢 Genuinely cried

I think my favorite part is this is the first time we’ve truly seen Rex legitimately panicking. Rex is usually one of the most level headed commanders out of the clone commanders. The moment he saw they were killing their brothers, he immediately started acting crazy. I also love the sniper. His spotter just putting his arm up and stopping him, right as he realized he was about to kill Rex.

The shock in there voices, the swelling and sad music, the clones seeing each other face to face ...... waxer, this is great story telling.

NOT WAXER! NOOOO

I would love to know how Obi wan would react to this

Kind of nuts that scenes like this were basically voiced by one actor. Dee Bradley was crazy good

Everytime i see this scene i can't stop hearing "Clones" by Ash Mostly the part that says "Shame, that's everyone the same, i though you stood alone, we're different from the clones".

I know this is one of the worst things to happen to the clones but I find it absolutely hilarious that all the 501st guys are all different and special and all the 212th guys are literally the same character model

To think that if Rex waited a little longer to take his helmet off, there was a non-zero chance that the next shot would have hit him, and if his brothers didn’t hear him say ‘they’re clones’, Pong Krell would have won Umbara

Pong Krell is right up there with Umbridge in my opinion. Screw that guy!😤

Is no one gonna talk about how the music captured the shock and the trauma that the clones felt once they realized they were shooting at each other?

Waxer 😭😭

2:06 why were the 212th troopers at the back not shooting? Did they suspect something was off before they got gunned down?

This is the saddest scene in the entire series

This situation comes up way too many times in RL conflicts, probably more than most countries like to admit, there's the obviously made Aleutian Islands campaign (which the examples made left out the previous engagement from the other island since the incident happened on the second one which is why people were on edge) but then there also the blue-on-blue incidents in the Vietnam war.

Best way to piss off clones. Sad about Waxer.

Damn, sometimes I forget how good this show was.

This was an unbelievable scene to watch. The tragedy of these Clones is one of the most heart-wrenching things about Star Wars

This is tragedy. A good soldier falls orders yes but a good leader supposed to protect his men in the battlefield😢

One of the best arcs ever!

It's terrifying. Imagine seeing your brother face as he die by your hand

RIP waxer 😢 you were a true hero, you should of been there fighting the empire with us bud 😢😢

Cant believe Dogma was still trying to be loyal to Krell after this, he does eventually realise what's happened and shoot Krell but how could he still be loyal to a general that ordered him to kill his own brothers??

Imagine shooting your own brothers... This is just so unimaginably traumatic.

We never saw it coming

This foreshadows their Generals fight on Mustafar and Waxers death foreshadows foreshadows Kenobis Death with 501st Clone killing Kenobi

The Clone Wars is so much better as a prequel than the movies

I get why he did it but personally, I would have let the plant with teeth eat Dogma, probably would have saved them all a bit of trouble later

No. 😢

What a fight damn

Most emotional scene of the original run

I cried 😢

My man why do you refuse to render the shot of Rex and his men approaching the airbase

This arc was traumatic

Pon Krell cased a friendly fire incident

Does anyone know the name of the track that plays at 2:35? I’ve been trying to find it for years with no luck

This is a serious case of Friendly Fire or "Blue on Blue" as they say in the military.

This was one of the saddest scenes in Clone Wars!!!

Aspyr should've added this mission in Rise of the Empire

what episode

So I guess there are no IFF tags for the Clones' HUDs?

Rex clinching his face is pretty sad tbh 😢

This is why perfidy is a warcrime that forfeits your rights as a prisoner of war. (It’s when you impersonate the enemy or humanitarian organizations and conduct combat operations)

Would this be considered suicide?

0:12 was that transmission fake?

0:35 Imagine pong Kreml killed Rex in the elevator

THEY'RE NOT UMBARANS!!! THEY'RE SLIPPIN JIMMY!!!

They killed each other on accident.😢

501st Legion def was more skilled than the 7th Sky Corps. This vid shows who took more casualties

I wish umbara could come back

In space vietnam this is ome way a CO to get fragged by your own guys lmao

I think that this arc would have been better if the four armed guy didn't end up being a traitor.

For Waxer✊✊

Sooo a report came in a captain Rex was standing there who’ve seen the report of they were taking the armor and weapons and they still got krell?!?!?

Why would pong trick the troopers to killing each other?

1:54

pong krill burning in hell for sure

Oh no.🫣😰😥

Anakin’s clones vs obi wan’s clones extremely sad

This happened all because of Jedi arrogance, and one said problem Jedi being a Sith Simp.

This episode and the arc made me cry. To have to live with the fact you are killing your own men ( their brothers) must have been devastating. I wish we could have seen obi-wan and Anakin react to the news.

i hate krell for this,glad he got what was deserved

Russia or Ukraina 😢 the brothers kill each other on the orders of the leader

Team 212th!!!

I hate that krell died, such a waste of an interesting character. Would have loved to see him wielding red lightsabers as dooku's apprentice

Casually putting war crimes in a kids show.

Okay here's something that I've NEVER seen asked. So people blame krell for this whole shit show, but what aboutbthe clone that called it in? Was he working woth krell ir dod that actually happen?

I hate Krell as much as the next guy but I really don’t think he did anything wrong here. He receives a message saying that the enemy is taking clone weapons and armor, and then tells Rex to inform his men that the enemy might be disguising themselves as clones. He then informs another squad of the same thing and sends them to reinforce. That all seems reasonable to me. Waxer messed up and had his men start firing before determining if the other guys were clones or enemy. It’s his fault, not Krells.
