If asked "What's one line or memorable conversation from Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Basically what’s something you think about TCW that often gets you into arguments?

Mine is even up to season 7 I still didn’t like Ahsoka. I didn’t hate her either ever. But she always fell flat for me. She had some great moments early on. Such as the Seige of Ryloth or weapons factory, but after season 3 I kinda get uninterested in her character again.

Yes I am saying I like early Ahsoka more than season 4-7 Ahsoka or rebels or Ahsoka for that matter.

So what’s your very unpopular TCW opinion?

Hey. Longtime Star Wars fan (I-VI) but for some reason I slept on Clone Wars for a long time. I did watch the first maybe 2 seasons or so back in the day but for some reason didn't continue.

Really enjoyed it and am very happy that it's part George Lucas' canon. It actually feels like Star Wars and belongs in his universe. Loved all the new worldbuilding to the saga and how it fleshes out some of the characters from the movies more, while also introducing some great new ones, particularly Ahsoka, who has now become one of my favourite SW characters.

I think the show gets better as it goes on for the most part, although I think the show peaks at the end of season 5 with the Ahsoka being framed arc, great stuff. 6 was great too, loved the Yoda stuff, but 7 I was a bit mixed on. I liked a lot about it, but for a final season it felt too short with only 3 arcs. I liked the bad batch stuff and Rafa Martez, but they seemed more like season 6 storylines. While the four final episodes were very cool, I did not like the exclusion of General Grevious. I was hoping for more of a lead-in to Episode III. But the final scene was pretty amazing.

There are a few things I don't like about the show in general, like how Count Dooku was portrayed. He is too much of a one dimensional bad guy in the show, rather than the more complex version of the movies. I also feel the show was not planned ahead all that well, like there are plotlines that are introduced but then abandoned, like Palpatine keeping the Zillobeast, or characters who are introduced too early in the show, like Greivous who they then struggle to figure out what to do with for the remainder of the show, and give themselves the task of having to make sure he never meets Anakin. I would have liked to see Greivous maybe slowly rising the ranks throughout the show, killing more and more jedi, rather than have him already fully established from the getgo. I'm sure being a cartoon and a kids show is the reason for some of this, but I still feel it could have been done better.

Assajj Ventress I was missing during the last 2 seasons as well, and expected her to be involved somehow. I also did not like how we never got to see Luminara's reaction to her apprentice turning bad.

Anyways, great show. What are some other essential shows to watch that stay true to George's vision? I see Filoni also did Rebels so I might watch that one next.

Were you kind of surprised to see the Unidentified Inquisitor again in Star Wars: Tales of the Empire? He's seen with the other Inquisitors and Barriss Offee when Darth Vader arrived.

So I’ve been extremely late to the clone wars party..kinda overwhelmed by the amount of seasons/episodes lol. I’m around season 3 now, and was wondering what’s the best season(s) in your opinion??

I’m currently on Season 3 episode 11 and have just noticed that Senator Farr is alive with Padme in the episode when I’m pretty sure I remember he is assassinated by the other female Rodian Senator in season 2. Can anyone please either tell me how he’s still alive or tell me how the episodes work?

Do you think Barriss Offee's time in prison probably humbled her?

Ì still have this https://i.imgur.com/suvAMuY.jpeg saved at my browser, are the coloured ones really die only must watch canon episodes? Are all the episodes without any mentions just filler and bad?

Watched btw till the end of season 3

I can’t find anyone else talking about it, but I can’t see any meanings for the word ‘separist’. I assume Lucasfilm and/or Disney missed it and so have a lot of other people.

It’s been asked before, but what song plays at the clone bar in s6-e4 “orders” I’ve been looking for years.

While not exactly "artwork" it is a creative endeavor so...

Eciton is a planet near the Unknown Regions, at the edge of the Core Worlds. If drawn as a 2D map, it would be just northwest of Coruscant.

While the Grand Republic was being set up several millennia ago, one species of alien took the apex predators of Eciton, a vaguely humanoid reptilian species that were little more than animals at the time, and genetically engineered them to be super-soldier cyborgs, called Ecitones. Their biological components remained reptilian while their cybernetic enhancements gave them an insectoid appearance, so the galactic community took to calling them “Army Ants” when they seemed more insect/machine than reptile. The creator aliens wanted the Ecitones to be completely loyal but also to be able to think for themselves so they were “uplifted” from base animals to whatever counts as sapient/sentient via brain implants that controlled their “higher” thoughts. These Ecitones eventually rebelled against their creators and eradicated them before doing what they were programed to do; win wars, by any means necessary. They were a major menace to the fledgling Republic as they “tried to take over the world(s)” but they did give the group a common enemy to unite against, and the Eciton Empire was eventually defeated. With their numbers decimated, The Empire was given the chance to join the new Galactic Republic under strict population laws.

Still programed to fight and win at any cost, but cut off from simpler tactics like overwhelming force, the Eciton Empire needed to drastically alter its approach to conflicts; hulking muscles and displayed weaponry were not only unhelpful in the political arena, but were actively detrimental to their cause. Taking their genetics into their own hands, they “evolved” smaller bodies and sleeker cybernetics, trading intimidation for subtler forms of manipulation while retaining their vicious, cutthroat nature, hidden behind a more attractive exterior. To get around the population restrictions, the Eciton Empire relied heavily on machines and robots, as well as slave labor from Ecits; ecitoans without a Pilot Core.

While not common knowledge to non-ecitoans, a “Pilot Core” is the term for the combination of brain implants that “uplifts” an animal-like Ecit into a sapient Ecitone citizen (the species as a whole are called ecitoans). These Pilot Cores contain a Personality Matrix and a Memory Archive that is passed on from “father” to “son”. Due to over-genetic-manipulation, ecitoans lost the ability to procreate naturally, losing all reproductive organs in the process; all ecitoans are genetically agender, so aside from the Queen and Princess, all ecitoans are considered male. Ecitoans reproduce via cloning, keeping enough genetic variation to keep their society from becoming stagnant; new ideas are needed so the Empire isn’t left behind socially. Ecits are little more than very smart animals, most barely capable of stringing two words together to get an idea across. When an Ecitone reaches the end of his life, he selects an Ecit (usually one he has been raising for a while) to inherit his Pilot Core. The Father Ecitone cannot live without the Pilot Core, dying as the selected Ecit inherits it to become his Son Ecitone; the son’s natural disposition as an Ecit mixes with the Personality Matrix to ensure the Ecitone remains similar to his father while still being a separate individual, as well as gaining access to all of his ancestor’s memories in the Memory Archive. The memories are viewed in first-person, and the Ecitone’s thoughts and feelings are experienced along with their external senses, but there is a disconnect between the viewer and the memory, like an intense VR experience. One’s own memories can also be viewed this way but this is generally avoided, as it can generate feelings of dissociation.

All of this to introduce Malos the Ecit. He was one of a handful of Ecits belonging to Alon Arcanole, the latest in a long line of artists; Alon in particular was a painter. He was always pushing the limits of what was considered “acceptable” and tended to forge his own path, leading to some unconventional artistic endeavors; these were generally well received until one of his works found its way to the Queen of Eciton and she insulted it, which started a cascading implosion of Alon’s life. He lost basically everything overnight after losing the Queen’s favor. Around the same time, Alon realized Malos was force sensitive; being clones, even with ample genetic diversity, it was unheard of for an ecitoan to be force sensitive so, bitter and disillusioned, Alon sold everything he could and called in every favor he had ever earned to make his way to Coruscant and present his findings to the Jedi Temple. Alon could have tried to buy back his favor by presenting the first force sensitive ecitoan to the Queen but he wanted revenge, not absolution. Alon also traded ecitoan secrets for sanctuary; Ecitones were notoriously cagy about verifying anything about the inner workings of the Eciton Empire, often spreading misinformation when they could, just to muddy the waters. Alon managed to buy himself and Malos a few years like this; he knew receiving a Pilot Core too young can cause issues for the new Ecitone, not to mention he didn’t want to die just yet. However, once the Queen caught wind of Alon’s treachery, he decided he would only be a liability to Malos and had the Pilot Core transferred.

At the physical age of 6, Malos Arcanole officially became a Jedi Youngling.

One side effect of receiving a Pilot Core so young is that Malos’ natural disposition was almost entirely overtaken by the Personality Matrix; this left him with (effectively) only half a personality, the half that liked to push the status quo and do things his own way (because obviously it was the best way). Malos would generally compensate for this “personality quirk” by relying heavily on his intellect, making him “act robotic” and miss subtler social cues. He was also considered a full adult citizen by ecitoan standards, which clashed with him effectively being considered a “late bloomer” youngling, and his weaker connection to the force didn’t help either.

Malos soaked up information like a sponge. He was constantly at the Jedi Archives; he would “observe” (read: stalk) fellow younglings or other Jedi if he felt there was a gap in his knowledge; he picked up as many assorted skills as he could, from camping and tracking to social etiquette and languages; he questioned everything, which was often taken as disrespectful rather than a purely informational query; etc. He was, frankly, exhausting to be around, which was only compounded by how little sleep/rest he needed compared to other races.

Eventually, Malos was allowed to participate in The Gathering at age 8.

Malos tried to use his own logic and understanding to find his Kyber Crystal but this backfires spectacularly and he wastes a lot of time. Eventually he realizes that he needs to rely on The Force to guide him and blindfolds himself to help block out his other senses. He finds two crystals right next to each other and intended to only take one when he was overwhelmed by an intense panic, only soothed by the assurance he would take both so they wouldn’t be separated.

Having spent longer than the others, Malos was rushing for the exit before it froze over and came upon one of his companions who was also running late. As they approached the exit, it was almost fully closed but Malos grabbed his companion and threw them at the exit as hard as he could, letting them just barely make it before the exit closed completely. This left him stranded on the other side of the ice wall as it quickly became too thick for his small body to break through. The saved companion, realizing what happened, wanted to repay the favor; Malos, meanwhile, had begun using his force to create vibrations in the ice to try to crack it. Malos didn’t have the strongest connection to the force so it wasn’t enough by itself but the saved companion convinced the others to follow Malos’ lead, combining their force to vibrate the ice wall into shattering.

Once safe aboard the ship, Malos tried to hide the second crystal, afraid it would be taken from him. It almost was but his “new friends” stood up for him and, after relaying the story of how he found them, he was ultimately allowed to keep both kyber crystals. Before now, Malos had always assumed he couldn’t rely on anyone but himself (for a wide variety of reasons) but having others come to his aid twice now, he realized he wasn’t an island and didn’t have to be; more than that, though, he realized he didn’t want to be alone against the world. Not anymore.

By age 9 the Clone Wars began and Malos was begging to get out there and do something useful. His instincts demanded it.

He was considered too young to be a Padowan, especially since he’d only been considered a youngling for 3 years, but Malos countered that he was considered an adult by his own species standards. His plight eventually made it all the way to the Jedi Council, who were impressed by Malos but still hesitant; ultimately, no one had chosen to take him on as a Padowan and they generally didn’t assign Padowans (with a few notable exceptions). After proving himself in every way they could think of, the Council eventually decided that he would be given a sort of preliminary status and taken on missions with various Council members when they had the time and energy to deal with him. Malos had been a special case since he arrived and would continue to be so.

Having just turned 10 (Ahsoka is 14 by comparison), Malos’ first “real mission” is to accompany Yoda to what should have been a peaceful, quiet meeting on Rugosa with King Katuunko of Toydaria…

I have a loose timeline for Malos' story based on the chronological episode order but I need to make it pretty before I share it.

I am planing a rg session around a disappeared Venator. But i not sure wether there is one in canon. Do any of you know? I don't care wether it happened in a book/ comic or the tv series.

Edit: Not really what i was hoping for. But great suggestions and nice inspirations! Thanks everyone.

First time posting here I really appreciate the Clone wars (drawn by my friend)

I was wondering how many clones from the 501st / 322nd respectively are in the hangar in this scene excluding Jessie and Rex. i want to make a Lego Moc and make it as close to the sean as possible. Thanks for any help :>

Took a trip to a second hand place today and found these neat additions to my Star Wars corner. I'd love a little Rex at some point 😄

(Note: no figures were removed from their original packaging in the making of this photo 😂)

She wanted to watch clone wars and we are episode 4 and she pointed out Tom kanes voice and how he spoke. I read the Wikipedia page about him but couldn't think of anything he was in. Is there anyone who speaks like that does anyone know?

I took the concept of Rex's helmet and switched it with a Phase 1 mouthpiece and a Phase 2 visor
